“If you loved your brethren, there would be none occasion of stumbling in you. Hear the Psalm, what it says: Great peace have they that love Your law, and there is to them none occasion of stumbling. Great peace it says there is for them that love the law of God, and that is why there is to them none occasion of stumbling. Those then who take scandal, or, occasion of stumbling, destroy peace. And of whom says he that they take not and make not occasion of stumbling? They that love God’s law. Consequently they are in charity… Moreover, how is it they do not take occasion of stumbling, but because they forbear one another? As Paul says, Forbearing one another in love, studying to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:2-3 And to show that this is the law of Christ, hear the same apostle commending this very law. Bear one another’s burdens, says he, and so shall you fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2” St Augustine of Hippo #Loveoneanother #abideinTheLight #HolyFifty #ChristisRisen #TrulyHeisRisen #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Let us enter into the race for the sake of the reward on the heavenly work. Let us run to acquire. But what shall we acquire? What is the reward? What is the crown? It so seems to me that what we wish for is nothing but the Lord Himself; He is the Judge of those who strive; and the Crown of the winners. He is the One to distribute the inheritance; and He Himself is the good Inheritance. He is the Portion and the One who gives it; He makes us rich, and He, Himself, is the riches. He reveals the treasure to you, And He, Himself, is the treasure. – St Gregory of Nyssa . . #ourtreasure #runtherace #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #coptic #orthodox #holy50

“For many come to faith, but few are brought into the Heavenly Kingdom. And many serve God with their tongue, but turn from Him in their lives. From this we should reflect on two things. The first is that no one should presume concerning his own salvation; for though he is called to the Faith, he knows not whether he will be chosen to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The second is, that no one should take it upon himself to despair of his neighbor, whom he sees steeped in vice because no one knows the richness of the Divine mercy.”- St. Gregory the Dialogist of Rome #salvation #resurrection #mercy #risen #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #divine
