“Carrying the Cross is a daily invitation. The Cross, Oh Lord, was inside Your heart since the very beginning, before You carried it on Your back. The Cross represents Your love and sacrifice.” -Fr Bishoy #goodfriday #lent #pascha #holyfriday #fast #faith #orthodox #coptic #cross #crusifixion #salvation

“Let us offer our thanks that Jesus has a real body and a real soul. For, if the Lord had not taken the human nature in its totality, humanity would not have been saved. If He had taken the physical form only, with no soul, He would have saved the body, without the soul, though we need the salvation of the soul more than we do that of the body. He has taken the body and the soul together so as to save them, to save the entire man just as He had created him.” St. Jerome. #Gesthemane #ThyWillbedone #watchandpray…

“As often as we receive, we proclaim the death of the Lord. If death, we proclaim the remission of sins. If, as often as blood is shed, it is shed for the remission of sins, I ought always to accept Him, that He may always dismiss my sins. I, who always sin, should always have a remedy.” St Ambrose of Milan #LastSupper #Sacrament #Eucharist #Sacrifice #BodyandBloodofChrist #Healing #remissionofsins #ThursdayoftheCovenant #NewCovenant #HolyWeek #HolyPascha#dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“Washing the feet is specifically performed by the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the One who washes the inner depths and forgives sins. A person who forgives those who hurt him through love and humility applies and shares one of the Lord’s greatest features. Such a person is counted as one who enjoys the new and blessed life in Jesus Christ. When the Lord says “…blessed are you”, He reveals His heavenly glory and life which we experience as we practice such acts.” Origen the Scholar #OurLordJesus #washesHisdisciplesfeet #forgiveoneanother #asGodforgaveus #washoneanothersfeet #Love #humility #ThursdayoftheCovenant #Liturgyofthewaters #HolyWeek #HolyPascha #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Throughout history Judas was not just a person, but he became a symbol of whoever follows his example and his name represented shame on anyone who did what he did… we are definitely not selling You, and if they put the treasures of the world at our feet, we will always remember that You bought us with Your precious blood. Whoever sells You for any worldly desire will lose their Godly image, and go down to the level of Judas – H.H Pope Shenouda lll . . #coptic #orthodox #copticorthodoxy #pascha #dailyreadings #ourpreciouslord #ourtreasure
