A poem in the name of the one God

God Alone Is Necessary Being:
His Holiness emphasizes that God is the only One without beginning or end, the source of all existence, the Creator of time and space, who cannot be contained by space because He Himself created it.

Unique Attributes of God:
Pope Shenouda describes God as the only One who is powerful and rich, limitless, Creator and worshipped, the One who holds life and death in His hands. Everything in the universe exists by His will and command alone.

True Worship:
Worship is due to God alone, for He alone is worthy of praise and adoration. None besides Him should be worshipped or associated with Him, for all prayers and praises rise up to Him, and every hand is lifted before Him in reverence.

Spiritual Meaning:
The Pope directs believers’ hearts to glorify God in His majesty and meditate on His holy attributes, to strengthen their faith in His absolute oneness and to live in full surrender to His will, in whose hands lie their destinies.

Message:
God alone is the beginning and the end; He has no partner in existence or in worship. True faith rests upon realizing that all we have and all we are come from Him alone.
