“But let every one have the spirit of Mary, so that he may rejoice in the Lord. If according to the flesh there is one mother of Christ, yet, according to faith, Christ is the fruit of all. For every soul receives the word of God if only he be unspotted and free from sin, and preserves it with unsullied purity.” St Ambrose of Milan #StMarysPraise #StMaryvisitsStElizabeth #MagnifytheLord #RejoiceinGod #OurSaviour #Theotokos #MotherofChrist #MotherofGod #Kiahk #SundayGospel #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“It is those lacking endurance who, in their ignorance, impetuously hurry on to seize what they have not yet been given, failing to realize that “one day in the eyes of the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a single day” (Psalm 90:4). But he, who by enduring patiently has gained experience of the Devil’s machinations will fight and strive forward with patience so as to reach the goal, as St. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:24- 26.” – St. Peter of Damaskos #copticothodox #coptic #dailyreadings #churchfathers #patience #angelgabriel
