Message of Rev Fr. Gabriel Nukta, St. George's Parish – El Nahud on the occasion of my   priestly ordination anniversary "The greatest love a person can have for his friends is to give his life for them” (Jn. 15:13 )     Dear Brothers and Sisters ,                I'm writing to you in this challenging time of corona virus,   a time of disruption that has brought grief to some , financial difficulties to many and enormous changes to our daily lives . I greet all of you with great joy and affection . As I celebrate the 25th anniversary of my ordination to the Catholic priesthood on April   30th, Allow me to share something personal. I want to give thanks to God for the gift of the priesthood of Jesus Christ that I have been privileged to share with you for the past twenty five years . In the greater picture of things, 25 years is small amount of time. However in today's world and context, every single day of priestly fidelity is cause for thanksg
