As reported by Ramez Rizkallah in our forums, the Reverend Father Matta El Maskeen has departed this world.
You can find basic information and links about this late, blessed monk at his Wikipedia biographical entry and the official website of Saint Macarius Coptic Orthodox Monastery.
We extend our deepest condolences to the monks of Saint Macarius and all of Fr. Matta's spiritual sons and daughters throughout the world. His erudition and Orthodoxy will be sorely missed.
Fr. Matta's recorded sermons and extensive writings will always remain with us, however.
You can read many of Fr. Matta's articles on coptichymns.net,
Also, you can hear Arabic sermons by Fr. Matta on coptichymns.net, as well.
The Lord repose his soul in the paradise of joy.
