“He is the One who covered death with shame and cast the devil into mourning, as Moses cast Pharaoh into mourning…He is the One Who brought us out of slavery into freedom, out of darkness into light, out of death into life, out of tyranny into an eternal kingdom, Who made us a new priesthood, a people chosen to be His own for ever. He is the Passover that is our salvation.” – Melito, Bishop of Sardis • • • #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #sayingsofthefathers #faith #orthodoxy #copticorthodox #christianity #liturgy #gospel #praise #grace #hope #faithful #copticfathers #saints #ukmidcopts
