Bishop responses
Let them exalt Him in the church of His people, and praise Him in the seat of the elders, for He has made His families like a flock of sheep, that the upright may see and rejoice. The Lord has sworn and will have no regret, "You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek." The Lord is at your right hand, our saintly father, the patriarch, Pope Abba Tawadros. And our father the bishop, Abba Karas. May the Lord keep your lives. Alleluia Alleluia
You have received the grace of Moses, the priesthood of Melchizedek, the old age of Jacob, the long life of Methuselah, the excellent understanding of David, the wisdom of Solomon, and the Spirit, the Paraclete who came upon the Apostles.
May the Lord preserve the life and rising of our honored father, the archpriest, Pope Abba Tawadros, and our father the bishop Abba Karas.
May the God of heaven confirm them on their thrones for many years and peaceful times. May He subdue all their enemies under their feet speedily. Pray to Christ on our behalf that He may forgive us our sins, in peace, according to His great mercy. Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy…
