Prayer is the abundant desire to meet Jesus a desire that takes the soul and inflames the longing heart every moment; And this longing intensifies as the soul prays as the yearning to meet Jesus does not stop or cease or extinguish for prayer kindled and ignites the fire of longing and thr spirit becomes vibrantly alive and joyfully ablaze in each moment of prayer. – Abouna Seraphim El Baramosy . . #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #orthodoxy #prayer #desiringGod #thirstingforGod #lent
