“Our fear is not from an external enemy because our real enemy is inside us; everyday we risk an inner war. If we triumph in this inner war, all the wars that come from outside will be weak; there will be no external enemy to fear. So we have to submit the inside to the dominion of the spirit.” Abba Youanes, Bishop of Gharbiah • • • #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #sayingsofthefathers #faith #orthodoxy #copticorthodox #christianity #liturgy #gospel #praise #grace #hope #faithful #copticfathers #saints #ukmidcopts

He asked them: Whom do men say that the Son of man is, they said to Him: Some say Elijah; some others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. And so He led them up into a high mountain, and showed that he was not Elijah, but the God of Elijah; that neither was He Jeremiah, but He had sanctified Jeremiah in his mother’s womb; that neither was He our of the prophets, but the Lord of the prophets, and he had that had sent them.”—St. Ephraim • • • #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #sayingsofthefathers #faith #orthodoxy #copticorthodox #christianity #liturgy #gospel #praise #grace #hope…
