“You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.” – 2 Timothy 2:3-4 . “To be counted as spiritual soldiers of the Lord is a great honour that we do not deserve. For His sake, all difficulties and pain are negligible. Since we have accepted this spiritual military, we have to remain undisturbed by the daily events of life. That is not because they are impure but because they do not fit into the devoted life of the soldiers who have become dedicated to serve the holy Word.” – Fr. Tadros Malaty
