Bishop Makarios was the saintly bishop of Qena. A man of austere asceticism, an anchorite of his own right, a lover of the people, a man of fervent prayer, one who had an ineffable adoration and devotion for the divine liturgy, a strict faster, a wise confessor, a comfort and solace of the distressed, a friend and converser of the saints especially the Theotokos, a lover of silence, a true God-bearing elder, a modern St Macarius of the wilderness of the Sheheet, a promoter of the psalms, a clairvoyant, one who forsook sermons and gave love instead, a friend of the poor and suffering, and a worker of a great deal of miracles – healing incurable and curable illnesses, granting babies to the infertile, solving marital issues, saving Copts from civil injustice and a helper in the time of the stress of exams.
His miracles are quite comparable to that of St Kyrillos VI. To date, I believe there are more than 17 arabic volumes of his miracles, with miracles associated with the calling upon of his intercessions still occuring till this very day!
Holy hierarch of the Coptic Orthodox church, intercede for us sinners!
