Lord have mercy! Holy martyrs, dear children, pray for us!

I draw particular attention to following, taken verbatim from the linked article (emphasis added):

Fr Bishoy Lutfy, the church’s priest, said there had been protests nearby by the Muslim Brotherhood. “We who have lived here with the Muslim Brotherhood for a long time know them well,” he said. “We know they lie all the time.”

Indeed, Lord have Mercy.

From the bishop of the Southern United States diocese of the Coptic Orthodox Church, HG Bishop Youssef: We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (The statement is too long, and too important, to excerpt).

A hard message to hear at times like these, but a true one nonetheless. Lord have mercy.
