“He who accepts denigration and dishonor for the sake of truth, walks in the path of the Apostles, having taken up the cross and just as though being bound with shackles. However, he who does not do this but undertakes to follow his heart is seduced by his mind and falls into temptation and the devil’s snares.” St Mark the Ascetic #StAbanoub #Martyr #saints #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings
