His genuine love for the crucified and resurrected Christ fueled his ministry and shaped his ministerial approach. He believed a real Christian servant embraces self-denial, commits to discipleship with Christ, carries their own cross, and, in doing so, participates in the crucifixion and resurrection with Christ. Only this way can a servant assist others in bearing their cross rising with Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFr Bishoy bore the cross of ministry through devoted years of service and teaching, consistently emphasising the centrality of the cross in every servant's life in Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a collection and collation of Fr Bishoy's lectures and guidance for priests and servants, providing insights into ministry praxis.
