“WE STILL HOLD FAST TO OUR EARNEST ENDEAVOURS AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE, SENSIBLE OF THE FACT THAT HE WHO WAS SWALLOWED BY THE WHALE WAS CONSIDERED DESERVING OF SAFETY BECAUSE HE DID NOT DESPAIR OF HIS LIFE BUT CRIED OUT TO THE LORD.” St Basil the Great #faith #believeonHim #donotdespair #salvation #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
