St. Mena's Miracles Today

One modern tale says a farmer named Yousef, heading to St. Mena’s Mariut monastery for a feast, faced trouble when his cart broke down in the desert, its wheel cracked. Stranded with gifts for the monks, he asked for St. Mena’s intercession through Christ, seeking help in his need. One tale says Yousef felt a nudge to push, and through God’s grace, the cart moved smoothly. He arrived at the monastery, joyfully telling monks how, through Mena’s intercession, God aided him. One tale says the monks smiled, knowing Mena’s wonders continue.

This story shines with Mena’s intercession, through Christ, for pilgrims. In Coptic lore, he aids those journeying to his shrine, guiding their paths. In Ethiopian tradition, he’s a fixer of life’s challenges, big or small. Yousef’s tale reminds kids that through Mena’s intercession, Christ aids their everyday needs. It encourages them to pray when things go wrong, trusting Christ answers through Mena’s intercession.
