They are our Saints, Saints of all Christians, Saints of all Christian denominations and traditions. And to all the other bishops and priests, but above all I join the holy faithful people of God who in their simplicity, with their consistency and inconsistencies, with their graces and sins, carry forth the confession of Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is Lord. I thank you, twenty-one saints, Christian saints of all confessions, for your witness. And I thank you, Lord Jesus Christ, for being so close to your people, for not forgetting them. Let us pray together today in memory of these twenty-one Coptic Martyrs: may they intercede for us all before the Father.
