Thine is the Power and the Glory
"Indeed, Lord, Thine is the Power and the Glory and the Blessing and the Honour forever, Amen... You, Lord, are the Only Mighty One who overcame sin, the world and the devil." With these words H.H. Pope Shenouda III opens his contemplations on the great hymn of Holy Week.
Throughout the Holy Passion Week, the Coptic Orthodox Church chants again and again, "Thine is the Power and the Glory and the Blessing and the Honour, forever. Amen." In Thine is the Power and the Glory, Pope Shenouda reflects on this prayer and on the power of the power He showed in miracles and works that no one else had ever done, and the power that loves and sacrifices, that endures and gives, even against its own interests.
H.H. Pope Shenouda III, the late Pope and Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church, was a prolific writer and teacher of Christian spirituality. Here he helps readers pray this hymn with understanding and enter more deeply into the meaning of the Passion.
The book is ideal spiritual reading for Holy Week and Great Lent, for anyone who wants to understand the hymns of Pascha week, and for servants and youth leaders preparing Holy Week meditations.

Last night I realized maybe I had no idea what I was saying in the hymn and this was a very quick read delving into each line!
Nice meditation to add some depth to what we say repeatedly.
