Do ye also feed and guide them well. For the pastor who cares for his sheep engages in no other pursuit along with that. He does not make a vineyard nor plant gardens nor does he fall into the troubles of this world.

In him is the peace that cannot be disturbed and he will not withhold himself from your love if you do not withhold your love from him. St Augustine . . #dailycopticreadings #orthodoxy #coptic
