Contemplations
I will rejoice in hearing Thee, not in speaking against Thee. Thou hast sinned, why defendest thou thyself? Thou wilt speak: suffer thou; hear, yield to divine words, lest thou be put to confusion, and be still more wounded: sin hath been committed, be it not defended: to confession let it come, not to defence. Thou engagest thyself as defender of thy sin, thou art conquered: no innocent patron hast thou engaged, thy defence is not profitable to thee. – Saint Augustine . #Joy #Gladness #Rejoice #CopticOrthodox #Coptic #Orthodox #DailyReadings #Psalms

Numerous are the waves, and great the tossing of the sea, but we have no fear of going down, for we stand upon a rock. Let the oceans rage as it will, it is powerless to break the rock. Let the waves roll, they cannot shrink the bark of Jesus- St John Chrysostom . . #trustHim #heisourrock #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Read the divine Scriptures constantly. Never, indeed, let the sacred volume be out of your hand. Learn what you have to teach. Do not let your deeds contradict your words, lest when you speak in church someone may mentally reply, “Why do you not practice what you preach?”. He is a fine and dainty master who, with his stomach full, reads us a homily on fasting. Let the robber accuse others of greed if he will. The mind and mouth of a priest of Christ should be at one. – Saint Jerome . #FollowHim #ReadTheBible #ReadTheScriptures #DailyReadings #Teachings #TeachTheOthers #CopticOrthodox…

“The Holy Spirit He calls the Comforter, a name taken from His office, which is not only to relieve the sorrows of the faithful, but to fill them with unspeakable joy. Everlasting gladness is in those hearts, in which the Spirit dwells.” St Augustine #FeastofPentecost #HolySpirit #TheComforter #TheHelper #SpiritofTruth #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
