“If a king wanted a particular city to submit to his dominion& orders, he has to surround it to prevent food & water from entering it. Likewise if you want your body to submit to the spirit’s dominion you have to prevent food and water from it till it surrenders” – St. John the Short • • • #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #sayingsofthefathers #faith #orthodoxy #copticorthodox #christianity #liturgy #gospel #praise #grace #hope #faithful #copticfathers #saints #ukmidcopts
