“Whenever in your path you find unchanging peace beware: you are very far from the divine paths trodden by the weary feet of the saints. For as long as you are journeying in the way to the city of the Kingdom and are drawing nigh the city of God this will be a sign for you: the strength of the temptations that you counter. And the nearer you draw nigh and progress the more temptations will multiply against you.” St. Isaac the Syrian . . #temptation #pain #suffering with #Jesus #dailyreadings #co

Beloved the end of all our paths is Christ: in Him we are made perfect for our perfection is to come home to Him. Don’t seek for anything else. He is your end to Him you are journeying and when you have arrived there you will not seek further for you can desire nothing better than to come home to Him. He has led us on He himself being our way and He brings us to Himself as to our home. We come through Christ to Christ through the Word made flesh to the Word which in the beginning was God with God for He says to us: I am the way and to Me you come. – St Augustine . . #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #path #guide
