The Lord gave me an opportunity to contemplate on the Psalms through my lectures late 1968, 1969 and also at other times.
I contemplated on this Psalm, “Lord, how they have increased who trouble me!" on Friday, 18 April 1968 at St. Mark Church - Azbakia. It is one of the Psalms of the Matins (Morning Prayer).
I choose some Psalms, which are easy to memorize, to contemplate on before those general lectures.
I hope, beloved reader, to publish those contemplations in small books. I hope God may help me proceed with the rest of this collection...
Remember me in your prayers.
Pope Shenouda III
