“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. It is a great thing indeed to have been delivered from darkness; but to have been brought into a kingdom too is far greater.” – St. John Chrysostom #Hehasdeliveredusfromthepowerofdeath #ChristIsRisen #TrulyHeIsRisen #wearerisenwithHim #conquereddeathbydeath #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Since God is Love, what else do we have to be afraid of? God is the God of Providence: everything that happens is either because God permitted it to happen or God made it to happen, but all because God is Love. Everything that happens to us is because God loves us, and all happen for our good, even the seemingly evil. And because God loves us, nothing that happens to us can overwhelm us. – St Augustine . #Love #GodIsLove #HeLovesUs #GiveThanks #Psalms #DailyReadings #CopticOrthodox #Coptic #Orthodox

Death is an intruder into humanity. When God created man, He created him for life. He breathed in his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. God willed life and immortality for man. But when man’s freedom deviated towards sin, he brought death upon himself, because ‘the wages of sin is death’ (Rom.6:23). Thus death entered into the world, and all die. For this reason, the Resurrection rejoices us, for it is victory over death and the returning of life to man’s nature once more Pope Shenouda lll . . #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #resurrection #joy #victory #ohdeathwhereisyoursting #eternallife #orthodoxy #holy50days

Therefore seek heaven, and all things which conduce to life in the other world, and none of the things here will be able to harm thee, not even the world-ruler of darkness himself, if only we do not injure ourselves. For if any one deprives us of our substance, or hews our body in pieces, none of these things concern us, if our soul abides in its integrity. – St John Chrysostom . . . #seekhim #seekgod #seekheaven #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #yourfaceolordiseek
