Matthew the Poor (Matta El-Meskeen)

Father Matthew the Poor was a Coptic monk who lived out his life at the monastery of St. Macarius. This documentary is meant to showcase his life in a brief snapshot. Father Matthew is well known for his spiritual writings and has three books that are published. Orthodox Prayer Life, Communion of Love and the Titles of Christ. Father Matthew the Poor has changed the lives of many people I know and the personal experiences I hear from many people always keeps a smile on my face knowing that living out ones theology can be attained by reading and meditating on his writings. Seeking our our holiness and spirituality can be attained not only through the monastic way of living but living an ordinary life in the world and Father Matthew's writings can help guide the mind in that direction. I hope you all enjoy this documentary.
