I suffer a lot from loneliness. It’s as if my parents have left me, even my closest friends don’t understand my feelings. O God, You fill my heart. You fill my life and grant me power and victory. Talk to me and let me talk to You because You are my heart’s desire. Through You, God, I am close to Your angels. I can befriend Your Saints and love them deeply and suffer no more from loneliness. – Fr. Tadros Malaty . . You are not alone in this life; you live and God also lives with you. – H.H Pope Shenouda lll . . #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #loneliness #youarenotalone

The Spirit, flowing abundantly from above, comes into contact with all the limbs and distributes according to the ability of each one to receive, thus “enabling bodily growth.” . ~ St. John Chrysostom #joinedandknit #bodilygrowth #onebody #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Faith without works is dead, and works without faith are dead also. For if we have sound doctrine but fail in living, the doctrine is of no use to us.
