“Some people read books in order to find God. Yet there is a great book, the very appearance of created things. Look above you, look below you! Note it, read it! God whom you wish to find, never wrote that book with ink. Instead, He set before your eyes the things that He made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that? Why, heaven and earth cry out to you, ‘God made me’ ” – St. Augustine #copticorthodox #orthodox #orthodoxy #dailyreadings #churchfathers #books #infinite #allknowing

“These six months are the difference between his age and the corporal age of the Lord Christ, according to what the archangel Gabriel said in his annunciation to the Holy Virgin of the Holy conception: “Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren” (Luke 1:36). Each of both Christ and the Baptist began his life at the age of thirty. John served during these six months. And when Christ appeared, he began to hide. In this short period, that saint was able to lead many people to repentance, and to testify with a strong testimony to the Lord, and to prepare the way before Christ, and he presented to the whole world a practical example of the fact that: the strength of service is not in its length, but in its deepness, and in the amount of its efficiency and the amount of its influence, and in its fruit.” ~ Pope Shenouda III #dailyreading #coptic #copticorthodox #stjohn #witness

Peacefulness, humility and the tranquility of a life well lived is a appropriate for all Christians, according to the word of Lord. He regards only those who are “poor and of a contrite spirit, and who tremble” at His word… (A Christian’s) character should provoke everyone to imitate your life and conduct… Your good works are indeed, the greatest part of you. They are improved by the honour of confession itself; guard and preserve your confessions by peaceful and virtuous lives. ~ St Cyprian #christian #dailyreading #Honour #coptic #copticorthodox #newyear
