“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16 . “Prayer is greatly aided by fasting and watching and every kind of bodily chastisement. In this regard each of you must do what you can. Thus, the weaker will not hold back the stronger, and the stronger will not press the weaker. You owe your conscience to God. But to no one else do you owe anything more except that you love one another.” St Augustine #prayer #fasting #fastoftheNativity #Advent #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
