“Amazing! Look again, whither He has raised the Church. As though He were lifting it up by some engine, He has raised it up to a vast height, and set it on yonder throne; for where the Head is, there is the body also. There is no interval of separation between the Head and the body; for were there a separation, then would the one no longer be a body, nor would the other any longer be a Head.” St John Chrysostom #FeastoftheAscension #HolyFifty #Christisrisen #TrulyHeisrisen #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“By saying: “… you believe in God, believe also in Me”, the Lord intends to say that ‘all these difficulties will surely pass away since by having faith in Me and in My Father you become far more powerful than all the hardships that you will encounter. That faith will shield you from being conquered by any evil.
