“You are the Creator and you have formed me from the earth with mud. You grant vision to my eyes. Through your word, I come to you, for you are ‘Siloam’ the ‘Sent’ from the Father. I wash in your blood, consequently my vision is enlightened. I see the gates of heaven opened and welcoming me!” Father Tadros Yacoub Malaty #manbornblind #healing #enlightenment #creation #innervision #sixthSundayofLent #Lent #fasting #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“We need to sit beside the One and only teacher, Christ. We must adhere to Him continuously and never separate. He is our LORD who knows well how to guide our footsteps toward life without end….For, it befits us, thus, to rise to the heavenly divine dwellings and proceed toward the Church of the first born to feast with goods beyond human comprehension.” St Cyril the Great #eternallife #inChrist #clingtoHim #Lent #fasting #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

When you pluck a flower, it keeps its smell; and when it is crushed or cut in pieces, it smells even more. In the same manner, when the Lord Jesus was hung on the Cross, He did not fail when bruised nor weaken when being torn. When pierced with the spear, He became more handsome with the Blood that shed from Him and carried a new beauty. He cannot die spiritually, but grants the dead the gift of eternal life- St Ambrose . . #lifeinChrist #coptic #dailyreadings #orthodoxy #copticorthodox

From Adam’s side came the bearer of corruption, but from Christ’s side came life. Death blossomed in paradise but was slain on the Cross. The Son of God shares our nature so we can share His; as He has us in Him, so we have Him in us. – St John Chrysostom . . #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #ourlordandsaviour #dailyreadings #coptic #lent
