“Today the world shares a celebration with us, expressing their gratitude towards St Mark. To express our love towards this great preacher, we need to at least follow his way. It is nice to complete his work in preaching and teaching, and to remember his struggle for the faith. May his spirit be with us and by the Grace of God, we can proudly follow his path.” – H.H.

There also is God, there are the angels, there life and the Kingdom, there light and the apostles, the heavenly cities and the treasures of grace: all things are there.” – St. Macarius the Great • • • #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #sayingsofthefathers #faith #orthodoxy #copticorthodox #christianity #liturgy #gospel #praise #grace #hope #faithful #copticfathers #saints #ukmidcopts

And in calling Him the Son of the Living God, Peter indicates that Christ Himself is Life and death has no authority over Him.” – St. Cyril of Alexandria • • • #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #sayingsofthefathers #faith #orthodoxy #copticorthodox #christianity #liturgy #gospel #praise #grace #hope #faithful #copticfathers #saints #ukmidcopts
