“Nothing in this world can distress or perturb me, for I take refuge in the impregnable fortress of the Church. I am reassured in the bosom of God’s mercies. Comfort and blessing continuously flows from Him. The Lord’s grace flutters its wings and casts away all sadness, and heals the heart with its indescribable balm. Oh, how sweet it is! No one can withstand the trials of this world without His care or power.” St Pope Kyrillos VI #Godismysalvation #Godismystrength #StPopeKyrillosVI #greatsaint #copticsaint #manofprayer #Fasting #Lent #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“You are light. Sin is darkness. And light is capable of extinguishing the darkness… Do you have this spiritual awesomeness which disperses the darkness from around you? Does your mere presence make the people around you unable to utter idle or unsuitable words or behave unfittinglly? Does your presence make them feel that you bring the presence of God amongst them?”-Pope Shenouda.#CopticOrthodox #DailyReadings #Orthodox #Coptic #BeTheLight #LightOfTheWorld #Light
