“Lord, overshadow Your holy church which has been redeemed by Your Blood, cause to dwell in it Your true peace which You gave to Your holy apostles; bind her children in holy bonds of indissoluble love; may the rebel not have power over her, and keep far from her persecution, tumult, and wars, both from those within and from those without; and may kings and priests be bound together in great peace and love, their minds always filled with gazing towards You; and may the holy faith be a wall for Your flock.” St Isaac the Syrian #TheChurch #kiahk #fastoftheNativity #Advent #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
