What do you fear? That you die. You will have everlasting life… Let us love eternal life, in that we understand how we need to strive very much for eternal life.” – Saint Augustine #brightsaturday #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“Let us offer our thanks that Jesus has a real body and a real soul. For, if the Lord had not taken the human nature in its totality, humanity would not have been saved. If He had taken the physical form only, with no soul, He would have saved the body, without the soul, though we need the salvation of the soul more than we do that of the body. He has taken the body and the soul together so as to save them, to save the entire man just as He had created him.” St. Jerome. #Gesthemane #ThyWillbedone #watchandpray #FridayEve #HolyWeek #HolyPascha #dailyreadings #Coptic #Orthodox

“As often as we receive, we proclaim the death of the Lord. If death, we proclaim the remission of sins.

I, who always sin, should always have a remedy.” St Ambrose of Milan #LastSupper #Sacrament #Eucharist #Sacrifice #BodyandBloodofChrist #Healing #remissionofsins #ThursdayoftheCovenant #NewCovenant #HolyWeek #HolyPascha#dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“Washing the feet is specifically performed by the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the One who washes the inner depths and forgives sins. A person who forgives those who hurt him through love and humility applies and shares one of the Lord’s greatest features. Such a person is counted as one who enjoys the new and blessed life in Jesus Christ. When the Lord says “…blessed are you”, He reveals His heavenly glory and life which we experience as we practice such acts.” Origen the Scholar #OurLordJesus #washesHisdisciplesfeet #forgiveoneanother #asGodforgaveus #washoneanothersfeet #Love #humility #ThursdayoftheCovenant #Liturgyofthewaters #HolyWeek #HolyPascha #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Throughout history Judas was not just a person, but he became a symbol of whoever follows his example and his name represented shame on anyone who did what he did… we are definitely not selling You, and if they put the treasures of the world at our feet, we will always remember that You bought us with Your precious blood. Whoever sells You for any worldly desire will lose their Godly image, and go down to the level of Judas – H.H Pope Shenouda lll . . #coptic #orthodox #copticorthodoxy #pascha #dailyreadings #ourpreciouslord #ourtreasure
