“When the Savior says to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you,” he addresses this to humankind in general. For those who believe in him, being healed of the diseases of the soul, will receive forgiveness of the sins which they formerly committed. He may also mean this: “I must heal your soul before I heal your body. If this is not done, by obtaining strength to walk, you will only sin more. Even though you have not asked for this, I as God see the maladies of the soul which brought on you this disease.” Saint Cyril of Alexandria #Healingthesoul #healing #forgiveness #ApostlesFast #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“We should be ashamed, beloved, we should be ashamed and sigh over our extreme languor. He kept waiting for thirty-eight years without getting what he hoped; yet in spite of that he did not retreat. He did not fail because of negligence on his part. He failed, rather, because of the jostling, the violence and the trouble of the others. All that did not cause him to be apathetic. Whereas, we, if we persevered in prayer for ten days for a certain request and did not obtain it, our zeal declines.” St. John Chrysostom #theparalytic #Hope #waitonTheLord #healing #Godismyhelper #Lent #fasting #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“Now it came to pass, as Peter went through all parts of the country, that he also came down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda. There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years and was paralyzed. And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Then he arose immediately. So all who dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.” -Acts‬ ‭9:32-35‬ . Paralysis would last for eight years, but in the proper time chosen by God, He works in us to grant us complete recovery from our paralysis, arise from our beds, and move to work incessantly. But before healing the paralyzed man, Peter drew his sight to the true Physician, the Grantor of healing, Jesus Christ. The words of St. Peter bore the power of instant and complete healing, as they presented the name of Jesus Christ, the source of power. He instructed the sick man to arise and to make his bed; i.e. his paralysis turned into health with strength and action. Our Christ, God of the impossible, particularly cares for the sick with hopeless ailments, to proclaim the power of His name as the source of healing, and of the power of resurrection, that the sick would carry his bed, and strongly testify. And through him, souls would turn to the Lord. – Father Tadros Malaty . . . #CopticOrthodox #DailyReadings #Orthodox #HeRaisesUsUp #Healing #PowerOfHisName #ProclaimHisPower
