“Now there was never any king, simultaneously just, a redeemer, gentle and seated on a donkey who came to Jerusalem, unless this is He who alone is King of kings, God the Redeemer, Jesus. He is kind, gentle and abundant in mercy for all those who call upon Him, as it is written.” St. Severus #PalmSunday #HolyWeek #Pascha #Hosanna #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #prayforegypt

“And I tell you”, He says, “you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.‘” What does this mean? The Lord withdrew from Jerusalem and left as unworthy of his presence those who said, “Get away from here”. And after he had walked about Judea and saved many and performed miracles which no words can adequately describe, he returned again to Jerusalem. It was then that he sat upon a colt of a donkey, while vast multitudes and young children, holding up branches of palm trees, went before him, praising…

“By these words, he proclaims in a very clear way, that to see is more exalted than to hear; The progress he gained through the pain and suffering, made him different from what he used to be; And by becoming able to behold the light of the truth by the inner eye; he is now able to discern more clearly, and to realize the darkness of his human nature!” St Gregory the Great #seeingGodintribulations #fasting #Lent #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

The heart itself is only a small vessel, yet dragons are there, and lions, there are poisonous beasts, and all the treasures of evil, there are rough and uneven roads, there are precipes; but there too is God and the angels, life is there, and the Kingdom, there too is light, and there the apostles and heavenly cities, and treasures of grace.

You called and cried out loud and shattered my deafness. You were radiant and resplendent, you put to flight my blindness. You were fragrant, and I drew in my breath and now pant after you. I tasted you, and I feel but hunger and thirst for you. You touched me, and I am set on fire to attain the peace which is yours. – St Augustine . . #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #orthodoxy #lentjourney
