“If you have something above your daily needs, give it to the poor, and then go with boldness to offer your prayers, that is, to converse with God as a son with his Father. Nothing can bring the heart so near to God as almsgiving, and nothing brings such serenity to the mind as voluntary poverty.” St Isaac the Syrian #richyoungman #forsakeall #give #treasureinheaven #cross #followChrist #dailyreadings #SundayGospel #coptic #orthodox
