Day 26 (4th Friday of the Great Fast)
“Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart” (Luke 18:1)
“[Fr Pishoy Kamel] told a story which happened to him several years ago: One of the ladies who used to confess to him was very bitter and broken hearted. Her husband was alien from God. He did not bare to go to church and did not accept visits of any priest. Furthermore, if he found a religious picture, he would tear it apart. Father used to tell her to keep on praying on his behalf.
Days passed and nothing changed. However, our beloved father was always giving her hope assuring her of the power of prayer. Suddenly her husband fell sick and he asked her if she had a picture of the crucified Jesus. She was reluctant to give it to him lest he might tear it; but, she realized his good intentions this time.
So she gave him the picture and he put it on his chest and started to cry heavily. He asked her to call a priest fast. He confessed and the following day took communion. Shortly thereafter, he passed away. This was the work of prayer in this family and many other families.”
