He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12 . “There is a Light who is the Creator of the sun’s light. Let us love that light. Let us yearn to reach out and thirst for Him. Consequently, He will lead and take us to Him. In this manner we will live in Him and we will not die… The One who shines over you so that you might see Him is the same source who flows over you and quenches your thirst….

In time of trouble, believer always flees to the Lord of the whole church and takes refuge in Him who gives a personal shelter and has the power to deliver from the adversary who threatens to kill him. He finds all-sufficency and security in Him. Nothing is more sure than God’s sustaining energy to everyone who relies on Him.” – Fr. Tadros Malaty
