“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.” St Augustine #Love #putothersfirst #FatherBishoyKamel #FatherMikhaelIbrahim #fasting #Lent #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
