“This living water is great, for it is the gift of the Holy Spirit…may it flow within me, may this that gives eternal life flow in and over me. May the Source flow on us and not far away from us; for wisdom says: “Drink water from your own cisterns, and running water from your own well. Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, streams of water in the streets?” (read Prov. 5:16-17). How can I protect my pots from suffering the cracks caused by sin, and avoid the leaking of the waters of eternal life? Teach us, O Lord, teach us as You have taught Your apostles saying: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and were thieves break in and steal” (Matt, 6: 19-20)” St Ambrose #SamaritanWoman #LivingWater #EternalLife #HolySpirit #HolyFifty #ChristisRisen #TrulyHeisRisen #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“The whole of your life does not equate to a twinkling of an eye if compared to eternity which has no end. What is the whole of your life on earth but a preparation and readiness for that eternity, the life of immortality? It is for you then to be convinced of the importance of eternity and to place it always before your eyes, and all things will appear cheap besides it.” – H.H. Pope Shenouda III #readings #coptic #free #orthodoxy #truth #churchfathers #copticorthodox

When a king founds a city, if it is attacked by bandits from the carelessness of its citizens, he certainly does not neglect it, but avenges and reclaims it, for the sake of his own honor. How much more did God the Word of the all-good Father refuse to let humans, his work, go to corruption. He blotted out their death by the offering of his own body, and corrected their neglect by his own teaching, restoring all that was theirs by his own power – St Athanasius . . #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #coptic #orthodox #holy50
