December 16th, 2009
Dear Readers,
Peace and Grace to you all,
On the 8th day of the month of Kiahk, the monks of St Anthony’s monastery commemorate the departure 
of one of the contemporary monastic saint of the twentieth century. Fr Yostos of St Anthony Monastery was an example of a monk who lived the monastic life as the monks we read about in the Paradise of the Holy Fathers. Despite his silence he was able to bring back many to the spiritual path. It is with great pleasure that we would like to present to you some of this saint’s life to be an example in our lives. We have also attached a very rare audio recording of the saints voice where he reads the Gospel in Coptic as well as an conversation (in Arabic) with some lay people where he repeatedly asks them his famous question “What time is it?”
To download this audio recording please go to our Pimonakhos Blog or click on the link below.

Dear Readers,
Peace and Grace to you all,
This month issue is about a very much needed virtue in today’s world, we hope you enjoy it.
We also would like to inform you that we have added three new useful features to our website.
1. We have added a book review module which suggests a very good collection of books for reading for youth and Sunday school servants. Along with the list of books people who have read some of the books can go in and add their review that others might have an idea about the content of the book and what to expect from it.
2. We have also added a photo gallery that has a collection of photos of our monastery.
3. For Churches or youth groups who have a web site or a blog, we have provided a link so that they can add a link button on their website/blog for people to subscribe to our news letter (we have also provided the HTML code).
For all this hard work on our website, we would like to thank two people, Shenouda Andrawis and Michael Mikhail, who worked tirelessly to get it up and running.
God Bless you all

Dear Readers,
This month issue is about the monastic habit. It answers many questions that are usually asked about the
shape and colour of the monk’s habit. It also has some of the sayings of the desert fathers about the spiritual meaning of the different components of the monastics habit. We hope you enjoy reading this issue.
We would also like to announce to our English speaking congregation the start of a new satellite Christian channel called Christian Youth Channel (CYC). Read the corresponding attachment for more information or visit their website

Dear Readers
On the 14th day of this month the Church celebrates the feast of our beloved saint, St Shenouda the Archimandrite. On behalf of all the monks of the monastery I would like to wish you all a happy feast of St Shenouda and to dedicate this issue to our beloved saint.
I would also like to apologies for not being able to be present at the celebrations, as I will be attending the 55th anniversary of the monasticism of our beloved father H.H. Pope Shenouda III.
The time table for the celebration of St Shenouda’s feast is inside this issue.
By God’s grace
