For when He says My Holy Spirit shall transform you and change the elements of your mind into a willingness and an ability to despise the types of the Law and rather to prefer the beauty of spiritual service and to honour the reality more than the shadow; then He says you will surely be able readily to understand the things concerning Me. For the complete expression of these things will find place in your hearts when you are well fitted to receive. St Cyril of Alexandria #pentecost #coptic #co

For I have not only loved you He says but have done you the greatest benefits by extending your branches through all the world. Do you see in how many ways He shows His love? By telling them things secret by having in the first instance run to meet their friendship by granting them the greatest blessings by suffering for them what then He suffered. After this He shows that He also remains continually with those who shall bring forth fruit; for it is needful to enjoy His aid and so to bear fruit.
