“The whole is from him, the giving both of these things and of those; for no achievement finds its source in us…. Not then so as to deliver man from darkness only did he show his love toward him.

“Enjoy ye all the feast of faith: Receive ye all the riches of loving-kindness. let no one bewail his poverty, for the universal kingdom has been revealed. Let no one weep for his iniquities, for pardon has shown forth from the grave. Let no one fear death, for the Savior’s death has set us free. He that was held prisoner of it has annihilated it. By descending into Hell, He made Hell captive. He embittered it when it tasted of His flesh.” St John Chrysostom #FeastoftheResurrection #ChristisRisen #TrulyHeisRisen #Easter #ChristosAnesti #AlithosAnesti #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

If the resurrection from the dead happens through man; and the Man we Know is the Word begotten by God; Through Him the power of death has been destroyed.” – St. Cyril the Great #brightsaturday #lightsaturday #hetrampleddowndeathbyhisdeath #pascha #holyweek #Christisrisen #khristosanesti #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” – 1 John 5:14 . “Those who possess technical skills and know how to repair things are fully confident that when the need arises they will be able to do so. Similarly these holy men, John and other apostles, knew from their own experience that if they asked God for what was pleasing and acceptable to him, they would obtain it. For God is most generous to those who have this knowledge and will grant the requests of those who ask according to his will.” – St. Didymus the Blind #askanditwillbegiven #Hehearsus #ChristIsRisen #ChristisRisenAndAscended #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
