But when He says this He declares nothing else than His incorporeal Nature. Now the service of that which is incorporeal must needs be of the same character and must be offered by that in us which is incorporeal to wit the soul and purity of mind. Wherefore He says they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. – St. John Chrysostom

“Wondrous are You O Lord! We have felt You with us in every work and so have surrendered our lives to You in trust. We fear nothing and we fear no-one for You are with us. You are the Hope of he who has no hope and the Helper of he who has no helper.” – H.H. Pope Shenouda III #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #holy50 #praise #psalms

For whoso are called sons and are not sons what profits them the name where the thing is not? How many are called physicians who know not how to heal! How many are called watchers who sleep all night long! So many are called Christians and yet in deeds are not found such; because they are not this which they are called that is in life in manners in faith in hope in charity- St Augustine of hippo #orthodoxy #christisrisen #chrisitianliving #copticorthodox

He who resurrected although He promised things of the future yet He did not promise peace in this world nor comfort in this life. Those who seek comfort seek something good yet they do not seek it in its proper place. For there is no peace in this life. He promised us to have in heaven what we seek on earth; He promised to give us in the world to come what we seek in this world. -St. Augustine . . #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #eternity
