“Moved by love the Apostles ran that unending race and cast on the whole world the fishhook and net of the Word to drag it up from the depths of idolatry and bring it safely home in the port of the heavenly Kingdom. Moved by love, the martyrs shed their blood that they might not lose Christ. Moved by it, our God- bearing Fathers and teachers of the world eagerly laid down their lives for the catholic and apostolic Church.” – St. Symeon the New Theologian #coptic #orthodox #martyrs #faith #dailyreading
