Self Forgetting | The Harvest & BOLD (Fr. Kyrillos Ibrahim of@stpaulochymns)

In this talk, Fr. Kyrillos Ibrahim explores the spiritual virtue of self-forgetfulness and its connection to meekness and modesty, virtues exemplified by Christ. He explains self-forgetfulness as a form of humility that involves acknowledging our dependence on God while relinquishing self-centeredness to love and serve others freely. Fr. Kyrillos discusses how this virtue helps overcome pride, self-absorption, and passion, enabling forgiveness and growth in holiness.

He also defines meekness as strength under control, a peaceful self-possession rooted in patience and gentleness, citing examples from the lives of saints like St. Samuel and Pope Shenouda. Modesty is presented as the culture of the Church, expressing a preference for others over self, seen in speech, behavior, and worship.

Fr. Kyrillos concludes by emphasizing the balance between hiddenness and using God-given gifts for the glory of God and the edification of others in authentic Christian living and evangelism.#SelfForgetting #ChristianHumility #MeeknessInChrist #Modesty #ChristianVirtues #FrKyrillosIbrahim #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias
