“Hold me worthy, O Lord, to behold your mercy in my soul before I depart from this world; may I be aware in myself at that hour of your comfort, along with those who have gone forth from this world in good hope. Open my heart, O my God, by your grace and purify me from any association with sin. Tread out in my heart the path of repentance, my God and my Lord, my hope and my boast, my strong refuge, by whom may my eyes be illumined, and may I have understanding of your truth, O Lord.” St Isaac the Syrian #Godsmercy #comfort #salvation #repentance #praiseGod #Lent #fasting #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“The perfect person is the one who thinks continually of others, and loving others, and the good of others, and the eternal life of others, and the sanctity of others. As for his self, he places her last of all, or as the servant of all… he does not compete with others; God’s way is wide enough to take everyone. He feels deep happiness whenever he makes someone happy; he finds his happiness in making others happy, his rest in giving others rest. He finds in these his true self, not his personal self. He rejoices at others’ joy even if pain surrounds him on every side, and if they are afflicted with pain, he will not rest even if the means of rest are at his feet.” – H.H Pope Shenouda lll . . #loveothers #loveGodinothers #coptic #copticorthodox #dailyreadings #orthodoxy
