“What He declares, here, is nothing but this: “Belief in Me is not an ordinary thing. It does not come by means of human evidence or proofs. It rather needs a proclamation from above and a spirit whose disposition is good. God attracts that spirit so that it may accept the proclamation.” Saint John Chrysostom . “I shall not cast out the person who comes to Me: that is to say, I shall not throw him like a useless vessel…as a despised person and he will not remain without a share of My care. I shall gather him into My barn and he will dwell in the heavenly places. He will see himself having all hope surpassing man’s understanding.” Saint Cyril the Great #comeasyouare #cometoChrist #GodsLove #GodsMercy #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #HolyFifty #ChristisRisen #TrulyHeisRisen
