To attain holiness, we must not only pattern our lives on Christ’s by being gentle, humble and patient; we must also imitate Him in His death…. by being buried with Him in baptism…. When we wish to reverse the direction of our lives, there must be a pause, or a death, to mark the end of one life and the beginning of another. – St. Basil the Great #copticorthodox #salvation #christ
