“The lover of silence draws close to God. He talks to Him in secret, and God enlightens him. Jesus, by His silence, shamed Pilate; and a man, by his silence, conquers vainglory.” – St. John Climacus #wordofgod #dailyreading #bibleverse #faith #holyspirit #coptic #copticorthodox #christianity #church
‘ ‘ It is what you must expect and be ready to receive with patience, and even with joy, when you suffer as Christ did before you, and for his sake: this is the way to eternal happiness in heaven.’ – George Leo Haydock #orthodoxy #churchfathers #church #coptic
