When you pluck a flower, it keeps its smell; and when it is crushed or cut in pieces, it smells even more. In the same manner, when the Lord Jesus was hung on the Cross, He did not fail when bruised nor weaken when being torn. When pierced with the spear, He became more handsome with the Blood that shed from Him and carried a new beauty. He cannot die spiritually, but grants the dead the gift of eternal life- St Ambrose . . #lifeinChrist #coptic #dailyreadings #orthodoxy #copticorthodox
