When you pluck a flower, it keeps its smell; and when it is crushed or cut in pieces, it smells even more. In the same manner, when the Lord Jesus was hung on the Cross, He did not fail when bruised nor weaken when being torn. When pierced with the spear, He became more handsome with the Blood that shed from Him and carried a new beauty.

“Give the body its natural need from the material, and nothing more. If the body began to lust for the material and love it in a way that will get it out of the spiritual range, then the spiritual person will discipline their body and bring it into subjection. Which means to make oneself a slave for the spirit and not to be separated from it in conducting itself.” – The Thrice Blessed Pope Shenouda III #crucifytheflesh #lent #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
