“Christ, whom we preach in the whole world, is not a Christ adorned by an earthly crown, nor a Christ rich with worldly treasures and earthly possessions; But He is a crucified Christ, who was despised, and still is, by all the haughty nations and peoples; Yet, at that time, has been the subject of faith by a few, when he made the lame walk, the mute talk, the deaf hear, the blind see, and the dead rise; thus destroying the pride of the world; As, even among the things of this world, there is nothing stronger than the humility…

“The incessant invocation of God’s name, is a medicine which mortifies not just the passions, but even their influence. Just as the physician puts medications or dressings on a wound that it might be healed, without the patient even knowing the manner of their operation, so also the name of God, when we invoke it, mortifies all passions, though we do not know how that happens.” St Barsanuphius the Great #prayer #Jesusprayer #fasting #Lent #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
