“Make the effort to rise from the ground. Remember the good Shepherd who will follow and rescue you… Remember the mercies of God and how He cures you by pouring on oil and wine. Do not despair of salvation. Recall your memory of how it is written in the Scriptures, that he who has fallen rises, and he who turns away returns; the wounded one is healed, the prey of wild beasts escapes; he who confesses his sin is not rejected. The Lord does not desire the death of a sinner but rather that he should turn and live.” St Basil the Great #Prodigalson #repentance #Lent #Fasting #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
