By H.H. Pope Shenouda III
You are the king (ruler) of the earth and all that is in it:
You, my great brother, are the only divine creature who, of all the earth and what is beneath or on it, are given by God the gift of intellect and utterance given to angels. You are the creature who is given the ability to know God and worship Him and whom God is pleased with... The nature which you sometimes think greater than you, is only made by God to serve you. You can subjugate everything in it according to your will and your power..
