“and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18 . “Your rock is your faith, which is the foundation of the church. If you are a rock, you will be a church. And if you are in the church, not even the gates of Hades will be able to overcome you.” St. Ambrose #FaithinChrist #ourRock #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” 2 Corinthians 4:7 . “The greatness of the things, together with the weakness of those to whom they are granted, reveal the might of God. The expression “earthen” hints to the weakness of our mortal nature and fragile body, which is not any better than earthen vessels, that would easily break.” St. John Chrysostom #treasure #earthenvessels #Godspower #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

While there, in the eternal house in…

And Jesus said to Simon, ‘Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men’ – Luke 5:10 . . “All who have been ordained for the Ministry of the Word have received from the dear God the command never to abandon our duty, and never to be silent, whether anyone listens to us or not. Thus I am determined… as long as I live, and as long as God pleases to leave me in this life, to fulfil this duty and carry out this command, whether anyone pays attention or not. There are those who make merry over…
