Who is He? He is the Word of Truth, the Word of non-corruption, who renews man, by bringing him back to the truth. He is the (goad) that provokes to salvation, He is the One who destroys perdition, and drives away death. He builds the temple of God in men, and makes them His dwelling place. The sick are in need of a Savior. The lost need a guide. The blind are in need of someone to lead them to light. The thirsty need the living fountain, from which, if someone drinks, one will never thirst. The dead need life. The sheep are in need of a shepherd. And the children need a teacher. All humanity is in need of Jesus! – St. Clement of Alexandria . . #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #Christ #saviour #thelivingword

To think thus and to have confidence in her is meet and right. She is, the All-Merciful Mother of the All-Merciful God, the Word, and her mercies, incalculably great and innumerable, have been declared from all ages by all Christian Churches; she is, indeed, an abyss of mercies and bounties, as is said of Her in the canon of Odigitry.” + St. John of Kronstadt #coptic #orthodox #blessed #dailyreadings #stmary

Let us be undaunted in all our dangers. There is nothing dreadful to him that fears God; but all that is dreadful is for others. For when a man is delivered from his passions, and regards all present things as a shadow, say, from whom shall he suffer anything dreadful? Whom shall he have to fear? Whom shall he need plead to? Let us flee to this Rock which cannot be shaken. … What is more wonderful to say, the very things which are thought to cause discomfort, became matter of all joy and gladness. … For it is impossible, impossible in words to express how great pleasure falls to their lot, who suffer for Christ’s sake: for they rejoice in their sufferings, rather than in their good things – St. John Chrysostom . . #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #praisehim in #thestorms #blessedarethosewhomourn
