قصة أعجبتنى
روى نيافة الأنبا رويس القصة التالية:
كان أحد المؤمنين يعمل لدى سيدة غنية جدًا، وكان الرجل تقيًّا ومحبًا. سألته زوجته عن مرتبه الذي يأخذه من السيدة الغنية، فأجابها:"لماذا تهتمين بمعرفة المرتب؟ هل سألتِ أية طلبات وأنا لم استجب لها؟"
أجابته الزوجة: "لست أنكر سخائك، لكن أود أن أعرف أين تودع بقية المرتب".
في محبة قال لها: "أنا مسئول أن استجيب لكل طلباتكِ برضى وسرور، لكن أرجوكِ لا تسألي أين أودع ما يتبقى من المرتب".
مع محبة الزوجة لرجلها وثقتها الكاملة في تصرفاته، لكن في حب استطلاع ذهبت إلى السيدة الغنية تسألها عن المرتب الذي تقدمه لزوجها. وقالت لها السيدة الغنية: "إني أثق فيه جدًا وإنني أقدم له مرتبًا ضخمًا جدًا. ألم يخبركِ به؟"

His Grace Bishop Rewais iterated the following story:
Once, there was a righteous man who worked for a very wealthy lady.
One day, his wife asked him about his salary. He answered with love and said, "Why do you worry about my salary? Have you ever asked me anything and I did not get it for you?"
The wife answered, "I cannot deny your generosity, however I wanted to know where do you keep the rest of the salary."
Although the wife loved her husband and trusted him, but out of curiosity she went to the wealthy lady to enquire about her husband's salary.
The wealthy lady responded and said, "I trust your husband so much that I pay him a huge salary. Hasn't he told you about?"

Congratulations
Fr. Abram Abdelmalek congratulates the P.M. Malcolm Turnbull on being able to form a Government on his own rights. He also congratulates the Liberal Party for their winning of the majority of the Parliament.
His congratulations goes also to all winning candidates in the Lower and Upper Houses.
"Bill Shorten did well in this elections" Fr. Abram said. He noted "Both major parties need to reflect on the results and understand the Australian street point of view especially when it comes to redefining marriage".
An important observation was that "The Greens" lost many of their seats because we beleive of their extreme left views to the more right minor parties.The swing of the Greens was greater than -6%.
We pray for the sucess of the coming Government and the Parliament and for the prosperity of beloved Country Australia.

Path of destruction: What happened in the Nice truck attack
Dozens of people have been killed after a truck drove into crowds celebrating Bastille Day on the seaside promenade in Nice, southern France.
The attack took place about 10:30pm local time, after a fireworks display. French president Francois Hollande said it was clearly terrorist in nature.
The president of the Nice region, Christian Estrosi, said the truck was loaded with weapons and grenades, and the driver had opened fire on the crowd.
"An individual drove a truck into the crowd. He was killed by police," said interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet.

Editor:
It saddens us to report every time such horrific accidents and terrorists attacks on the free World.
This reminds us with that once upon a time Egypt was a Free Country and through the terrorism of Islam it became under siege of subsequent Islamic Governments for the past 14 Centuries like most of the Middle Eastern Countries. Our fear is that these terrorism activities continue till they get hold of the Free Countries in the World and World will be under their captivity.
Our prayers go to all the victims and their beloved ones in this atrocity.
