Rorate Caeli

Let us pray

For Christians in the land of Egypt, the land of servitude and house of bondage hallowed by the presence of the Lord, His Mother and Saint Joseph - and Saint Mark and countless martyrs and confessors. They have often been the first victims in moments of upheaval since their land was invaded by the Muslims 1400 years ago.

The situation for Christians in Egypt is more unstable now than it has ever been since the beginning of the recent troubles. Let us pray and offer sacrifice for our brethren!
