“This is the water that David thirsted for, just as the deer ‘pants for the water brooks’ (Ps 42:1) rather than thirsting for the poison of snakes.

The peace of God, which he imparted to us, ―passes all understanding. For who could have expected and who could have hoped for such benefits? It transcends every human intellect and all speech. For his enemies, for those who hated him, for the apostates—for all these he did not refuse to give his only begotten Son, so as to make peace with them… – St. John Chrysostom #peace #MyPeaceILeaveWithYou #dailyreadings #lent #coptic #orthodox
