“The whole of your life does not equate to a twinkling of an eye if compared to eternity which has no end. What is the whole of your life on earth but a preparation and readiness for that eternity, the life of immortality? It is for you then to be convinced of the importance of eternity and to place it always before your eyes, and all things will appear cheap besides it.” – H.H. Pope Shenouda III #beready #beprepared #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Christianity is not a matter of persuading people of particular ideas, but of inviting them to share in the greatness of Christ. So pray that I may never fall into the trap of impressing people with clever speech, but instead I may learn to speak with humility, desiring only to impress people with Christ himself. – St Ignatius of Antioch . . #fishersofmen #preaching #withhumility #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #holybible #orthodoxy
