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…
