“Since the sufferings of those who are close to us motivate us to struggle, what about the sufferings of our Lord Jesus? Truly, His suffering and the suffering of the Apostles are a great consolation for us! My beloved, suffering accomplishes two great matters: it purifies us of our sins and grants us power as spiritual men.” St John Chrysostom #cloudofwitnesses #strive #endure #suffering #affliction #witness #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
