You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. (Psalm 65: 11)

You crown the year with Your goodness,
And Your paths dripwithabundance. (
Psalm 65: 11)

The Monastery of St. Mary El Syrian would like to extend its sincere heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of the start of a New Coptic Year. May the Lord give us to praise Him and to preach His salvation every day.  May we glorify Him always because He is our God and we are His people and the sheep of His flock. We ask the Lord to forgive us our sins and strengthen us in the true faith of the Holy Trinity.  We ask Him to be with us just as He was with the martyrs and with the purified who have shed their blood for His name, receiving the crowns of light.  We also – the feeble sinners ask the Lord to bless the crown of this year's goodness and to cleanse us from all the bodily and spiritual impurities, so that we may be deserving to receive His indescribable care and goodness, for the salvation of our hearts, our bodies, and our souls.
