Anba Bishoi: A Life of True Submission

St. Bishoi's life teaches that true submission joins obedience to God with humility, hospitality, patience, and practical love for every person.

St. Bishoi desired a life of prayer, fasting, praise, and seclusion. The stories preserved about him repeatedly connect contemplation with service: he welcomed the weary, assisted the weak, and discovered Christ in the person who needed help.

His example shows that submission is not determined by favorable circumstances. It is the steady surrender of self-will to God, producing obedience, patience, endurance, joy, and peace.
