UNSUITABLE

NAME:DR A.S.M………TANTA, SAID:

I FIRST KNEW POPE KYROLLOS THROUGH MY SISTER, WHO IS A DOCTOR. SHE HAS A PICTURE OF HIS HOLINESS ON HER DESK, AND ALWAYS TAKES HIS INTERCESSIONS. I PROPOSED TO A GIRL (SHE STUDIED MEDICINE) IN MY INTERNSHIP YEAR. HER FATHER INSISTED THAT THE ENGAGEMENT PERIOD SHOULD BE ONE YEAR ONLY. THAT WAS GOING TO BE COMPLICATED, AS I WAS DUE TO ENTER THE ARMY SOON.

WHEN I WENT FOR THE ARMY PHYSICAL CHECKUP, THE DOCTOR MARKED ME “UNSUITABLE”, AS I WAS SHORT SIGHTED. I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THAT RESULT. I RANG MY FIANCE TO TELL HER THE GOOD NEWS. HER MOTHER WAS HAPPY AND TOLD ME THAT WE SHOULD THANK GOD.SHE SUGGESTED THAT I JOIN THEIR TRIP TO SAINT MINA’S MONASTERY. I TOLD HER THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO JOIN THEM. INSTEAD I WOULD GO TO ASWAN FOR MY COMMUNITY SERVICE.

THE FOLLOWING DAY, I WENT TO THE ARMY HEAD QUARTER TO FINALISE MY PAPERS SO THAT I WAS REGESTERED AS “ UNSUITABLE FOR THE ARMY SERVICE”. FOR THESE PAPERS TO BE FINALISED, TWO DOCTORS HAD TO AGREE THAT I WAS UNSUITABLE. AFTER MY SECOND CHECK UP, THE DOCTOR DECLARED THAT I WAS SUITABLE. I WAS VERY UPSET. I WENT TO MY FIANCE’S HOUSE CRYING. HER MOTHER GAVE ME A BOOK CALLED “ BELIEVE AND YOU MUST BELIEVE”. SHE ASKED ME TO ASK FOR POPE KYROLLOS’S INTERCESSION. I WENT HOME, TOOK MY GLASSES OFF AND STARTED READING THE BOOK. I FOUND A MIRACLE PERFORMED BY POPE KYROLLOS FOR SOMEONE IN A SIMILAR CASE TO MINE. I PRAYED TO POPE KYROLLOS SAYING “ IF YOUR HOLINESS PERFORMED A MIRACLE FOR ME, I PROMISE TO VISIT YOUR MONASTERY BEFORE GOING FOR MY COMMUNITY SERVICE”.
I WENT THE FOLLOWING DAY TO THE ARMY HEAD QUARTER TO BE CHECKED UP FOR A THIRD TIME. THE DOCTOR SAID “SON, ONE DOCTOR DECLARED THAT YOU ARE UNSUITABLE, AND ANOTHER DECLARED THAT YOU ARE SUITABLE. I WILL WRITE THAT YOU ARE UNSUITABLE, ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT DESERVE IT”.
I WENT TO VISIT ST MINA’S MONASTERY (AS I PROMISED) TO THANK POPE KYROLLOS FOR THIS GREAT MIRACLE….. THANKS POPE KYROLLOS.
