Kyrillos' Living Spirit

Pope Kyrillos VI doesn’t just inspire miracles—through his intercession, God sends dreams that bring comfort. Since his passing, Copts report seeing him in dreams, his kind face calming fears. One tale says a woman in Zeitoun’s Saint Kyrillos Church, jobless in 2013, dreamt of Kyrillos offering peace. Through his intercession, guided by Christ, she found a new job the next week and gave thanks for God’s help. These visions bring God’s comfort, lifting heavy hearts.

These dreams reflect Kyrillos’ life of listening to monks, widows, and children, as through his intercession, God hears prayers today. One tale says a Coptic merchant in the 1960s dreamt of Kyrillos’ call to fund Saint Mark’s Cathedral, leading to a donation that helped complete it. Another story tells of a boy who dreamt Kyrillos guided him to his lost bike in a park. For children, it’s exciting: a saintly intercessor brings comfort through God’s grace in dreams.

What makes these dreams special is love. Kyrillos’ prayers, once offered in the early hours, now bring God’s peace through intercession. Children can pray before bed, asking for Kyrillos’ intercession, trusting God hears all worries.
