‘Making melody to the Lord’ means paying attention while you are singing. It means not letting your mind drift. Those who in singing do not offer this deep attention to God are merely mouthing psalms uttering words while their hearts are preoccupied elsewhere.” -Saint John Chrysostom #Tasbe7a #Tasbeha #Praises #Psalms #Hymns #SingToTheLord #OGiveThanksTotheGodofgods #Coptic #Orthodox #DailyReadings #ChurchFathers

As though the Lord Jesus Christ says to His disciples If you wish to love you must suffer. This is implied in His saying If you were of the world the world would love its own. If the world loved you it would be evident that you wanted in yourself the worlds malice. St. John Chrysostom #notofthisworld #strangers #sojourners #chosen #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #nayrouz
