“and while the disciples were smarting with the anxieties of fear He bids them take to themselves the terrible power of faith. For thus are we safe and not otherwise according surely to the song of the Psalmist: The Lord is my illumination and my saviour; whom shall I fear?

For if the all-powerful God fights for us and shields us who could ever have power to harm us?” St Cyril of Alexandria #Donotfear #Believe #Faith #JesusChrist #TheSonofGod #HolyFifty #ChristisRisen #TrulyHeisRisen #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“There are then three means whereby we shall reach the Divine courts that are above and enter the Church of the firstborn; namely by practice in virtue of every kind by faith in rightness of doctrine and by hope of life to come. Is there any one else than our Lord Jesus the Christ who could ever be a leader a helper or a means for granting us success in such matters as these? Surely not: do not think it.” – St Cyril of Alexandria #ChristIsRisen #TrulyHeIsRisen #HolyFifty #IAmTheWay #IAmTheTruth #IAmTheLife #GodIsLove #Coptic #Orthodox #DailyReadings #ChurchFathers
