“I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.” – John 10:14 . “The Lord Jesus Christ is the door I pass through to come to you. Through Him I have access to your hearts rather than to your homes. I enter through the Lord. He is the Lord within me and he is the One you desire to hear. Why do you seek to hear the Lord through me? Because you are His flock and you have been bought by His Blood. You know your worth – it is not paid through me; yet I am the instrument that preaches Him. It is He, He alone, who is the Buyer and He has poured His precious Blood- the precious Blood of the One who is without sin.” – St. Augustine #goodshepherd #HeknowsHisflock #HisflockknowHim #knowyourworth #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Then a voice came from heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”” – Mark 1:10-11 . “He descended, at first, over Christ, Who received the Holy Spirit, not for His own sake but for ours, the human kind, as we, by Him and in Him, we are granted grace over grace… And now, we took Christ as our role Model; so let us approach the grace of holy baptism… that God would open for us the gates of heaven, and would send to us the Holy Spirit, who receives us as His children. As God, the Father, addressed Christ, at the time of His holy baptism, as though, by Him and in Him, He received man who is inhabiting the earth, proclaiming in the sweet voice, the sonship of human kind, saying: “You are My beloved Son; In You I am well pleased” (Lk. 3:22).” – St. Cyril the Great #theHolySpirithasdescendedonus #weareHisbeloved #incarnation #HegaveuswhatisHis #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
