Nothing is more powerful than meekness. For as fire is extinguished by water so a mind inflated by anger is subdued by meekness. By meekness we practice and make known our virtue and also cause the indignation of our brother to cease and deliver his mind from perturbation. St John Chrysostom . . #meek #gentle #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #orthodoxy
