“Closely neighboring, so to speak, upon the virtues which we have just mentioned is compassion, of which he next makes mention. For it is a most excelling thing, and very pleasing to God, and in the highest degree proper for pious souls. It may suffice for us to imprint upon our mind that compassion is an attribute of the divine nature. “Be merciful,” he says, “as your heavenly Father is merciful.” – Cyril of Alexandria #coptic #orthodox #faithful #orthodoxy #merciful #love #dogood #christianity

Contemplations
If we are the sons of God if we have already begun to be his temples if (after receiving the Holy Spirit) we live holily and spiritually if we have lifted up our eyes from the earth toward heaven if we have raised our hearts full of God and Christ to supernal and divine things let us do nothing which is not worthy of God and Christ as the apostle arouses and urges us.

Contemplations
When you are about to pray to our Lady the Holy Virgin be firmly assured before praying that you will not depart from her without having received mercy. To think thus and to have confidence in her is meet and right. She is the All-Merciful Mother of the All-Merciful God the Word and her mercies incalculably great and innumerable have been declared from all ages by all Christian Churches; she is indeed an abyss of mercies and bounties as is said of Her in the canon of Odigitry. St. John of Krons

Contemplations
He therefore is reproving those who pursuing an ostentation of useless scrupulosity neglected the discharge of useful morality. For it is the inside of the cup that is used; if that be foul what profit is it to cleanse the outside? And therefore what is needed is purity of the inner conscience that those things which are of the body may be clean without. – St Hilary of Poitiers #orthodoxy #churchfathers #coptic
