“Let us then overcome the world. Let us run toward eternity. Let us follow the King. Let us prepare the memorial of victory. Let us despise the worldly pleasures. We do not need much effort to achieve this. Let us turn to heaven so that we may conquer the world! When you do not desire the world you overcome it. When you deride it you vanquish it. We are strangers and passengers. Let us not grieve for any sad thing related to the world.” St John Chrysostom #ChristisRisenandAscended #Peaceintribulation #Christovercame #Peace #dailyreadings #HolyFifty #coptic #orthodox

“Today our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven; let our hearts ascend with him. Listen to the words of the Apostle: If you have risen with Christ set your hearts on the things that are above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God; seek the things that are above not the things that are on earth. For just as he remained with us even after his ascension so we too are already in heaven with him even though what is promised us has not yet been fulfilled in our bodies.” St Augustine #Ascension #Feast #Heaven #eternity #HolyFifty…
