“Carrying the Cross is a daily invitation. The Cross, Oh Lord, was inside Your heart since the very beginning, before You carried it on Your back. The Cross represents Your love and sacrifice.” -Fr Bishoy #goodfriday #pascha #holyfriday #fast #faith #orthodox #coptic #cross #crusifixion #salvation
He provides that they should be one. For all who believe through the Apostles are one, though some from among them were torn away. Nor did this escape His knowledge, He even foretold it, and showed that it proceeded from men’s slack-mindedness. – St. John Chysostom #orthodoxy #churchfathers #lent #holyweek
“Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again; for forgiveness has risen from the grave.” – St. John Chrysostom #copticorthodox #coptic #christianity #pascha #holyweek #lent
