“Although the devils proclaimed the reality to the Lord(You are the Son of God Luke 4:41) He closed their mouths and did not let them speak lest they plant their evil with the truth. Our Lord also did this to make us not care about them at all even if they speak about the truth. It is not right for us after receiving the Holy Bible and freedom from our Saviour to learn from Satan who did not keep his heavenly rank.” – St. Anthony the Great

Repentance is the gateway to mercy which is open to all who seek it. By way of this gate we enter into Divine mercy and apart from this entrance one cannot find salvation. – St. Isaac the Syrian

Oh how great is the loving-kindness of God! On those who have defected from Him and who are in the throes of wickedness He has bestowed such an amnesty for their wicked deeds and so great a sharing in grace that they may even call Him Father. – St. Cyril of Jerusalem #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #saviour #ourfather
