Fasting these forty days and nights, holy Moses too merited to speak with God, to stand and stay with him and to receive the precepts of the law from his hand. For although this human condition prevented him from seeing God, yet the grace of his fasting drew him into close contact with the Divinity.

He is more familiar, intimate and friendly with the person in whom he sees more of his works, as Scripture says, and Moses spoke with God face to face like one speaking with his friend. – Maximus of Turin #40DayAnd40Nights #Lent #10Commandments #GreatLent #Coptic #Orthodox #DailyReadings #CopticOrthodox

“Nothing in this world can distress or perturb me, for I take refuge in the impregnable fortress of the Church. I am reassured in the bosom of God’s mercies. Comfort and blessing continuously flows from Him. The Lord’s grace flutters its wings and casts away all sadness, and heals the heart with its indescribable balm. Oh, how sweet it is!
