“What is that bed that the Lord instruct to take up ? It is the bed, that David had “drenched all night with his tears” (Psalm 6: 6). It is the bed of passion, where our souls lie, a victim of the bitterness and suffering of the conscience; Yet, when we walk according to the precepts of Christ, our bed would be that of repose, not of pain. The mercies of God have changed the place of death into that of His resurrection, and turned the sleep of death into something we look forward to enjoy. He did not only…

Each evangelist has placed the blessings of poverty first, for it is the first in order, and the purest, as it were, of the virtues; for he who has despised the world shall reap an eternal reward. Now can any one obtain the reward of the heavenly kingdom who, overcome by the desires of the world, has no power of escape from them? Hence it follows, He said, Blessed are the poor. For the Jews persecuted the prophets even to death. – Saint Ambrose . #Blessing #TheBeautitudes #Beautitudes #BlessThePoor #KingdomOfHeaven #Coptic #CopticOrthodox #Orthodox #DailyReadings

“Therefore, the Cross must be clearly seen in the Church, so our church also becomes bearing the Cross of our Lord; the Cross of service and missionary; the Cross of partaking of our Lord’s passions and glory; the Cross of loving EVERYONE and abhorring the world, a cross from which the aroma of love, blessing and peace spreads to the ends of the earth.” Father Bishoy Kamel #theCross #isLife #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

If you doubt God’s care ask the earth, the heaven, the sun, and the moon; ask the dumb creatures and the plants… ask the rocks, the mountains, the sand dunes, and hills; ask the day and night. God’s care is much more clear than the sun and its rays. Everywhere, in the wilderness and the inhabited cities, on earth and in the sea…. wherever you go, you will hear a testimony of that exalted care- St. John Chrysostom . . #Godscare #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Whenever there are trials there is God the deliverer. There is divine help which gives comfort and salvation. Scripture didn’t only say, “many are the afflictions of the righteous” but straight after, but “the Lord delivers him out of them all.” And it did not only say, “in this world you will have tribulation” but after it “be of good cheer I have overcome the world” H.H Pope Shenouda lll . . #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #ourcomfort #goddelivers
