“He taught them to break their bread to the hungry, to take in those with no shelter, to clothe the naked, and not to hide themselves from their own flesh and blood. And now, the benefit to the giver (through his giving) is greater than that of the taker.” – St. Gregory of Nazianzus #blessedarethemerciful #benefittothegiverisgreater #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Psalms 73:23-24 . Prayer is a tie, a relationship between man and God. Therefore, it is not just talk, it is a heart connected to a heart. Prayer is a feeling of being in the presence of God. It is a partnership with the Holy Spirit and unity with God. – Pope Shenouda . #DailyReadings #Coptic #Orthodox #Prayer #Glory #GodIsWithUs #Counsel

“Egypt receives and preserves Him, driven from His home, and plotted against, and obtains a sort of first impulse towards her union unto Him; so that when in after-time she should hear Him preached by the apostles, she might have this at least to glory of, as having received Him first.” St John Chrysostom #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #EntryofHolyFamilytoEgypt #blessedisEgypt

Luke 2:21 “…circumcision is the symbol of the faithful when they are established in grace, as they cut away and mortify the tumultuous rising of carnal pleasures and passions by the sharp surgery of faith and by ascetic labors. They do this not by cutting the body but by purifying the heart. They do this by being circumcised in the spirit and not in the letter.” – St. Cyril of Alexandria #feastofcircumcision #circumciseyourheart #purifyyourheart #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

2 Corinthians 10:17 . By saying this Paul intimates that even his assurance and pride are to be given to the Lord, because it is by his favor that he has them. Someone who has confidence in the power of the gospel has confidence in the God who enables it. Thus God is glorified by all godly work. A person who has not received power from God cannot glory in the Lord, because he is seeking his own glory. – Ambrosiaster . #GloryInTheLord #Glory #PrideInTheLord #Pride #Coptic #DailyReadings #CopticOrthodox #Orthodox #Corinthians
