Patiently endure the toil of the struggle into which you have been led for trial, that you may receive a crown from God and, having passed away from this world, you may ﬁnd rest. Remember also that rest which has no end, that life without enticements, that perfect state, that unchanging mode of life, and that compelling captivity of divine love that dominates nature, of which things may we may be deemed worthy by the grace of Christ – St Isaac the Syrian . . #patience #rest #stillness #dailyreadings #orthodoxy #copticorthodox #coptic

“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
