For we are unto God a sweet fragrance of Christ in them that are saved and in them that perish: – 2 Corinthians 2:15 Whether a person is saved or lost the gospel continues to have its own power. The light even when it blinds someone is still light. Honey though it is bitter to those who are sick is still sweet. So also the gospel has a sweet savor to all even if those who do not believe it are lost. – St John Chrysostom #coptic #orthodoxy #christianity #verseoftheday #copticorthodoxy #followhim

Does prayer without ceasing mean that we continuously bow our knees and raise our hands? If this were true we could not do it. However there is an inner kind of continuous prayer which is the desire of the heart to accomplish a good deed. If you are eager for the Sabbath the eternal rest then you will not cease praying. If you do not want to stop prayer then be eager to pray. Continuous eagerness to prayer means continuous prayer – St Augustine . . Continuous prayer is a continuous inflamed
