“Pain is the deepest thing in life. At the time of lust man is floating on the surface of life; but at the time of pain he goes to the depth. Pain purifies the heart.

Pope Shenouda III #coptic #orthodox #orthodoxy #suffering #christianity #martyrdom #faith #hope #trust #pain #glory #salvation #heaven
