Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:16 . . We beseech You Lord, Be our helper and keeper; Save those with sorrow; Have mercy on the humble; Lift up the fallen; Proclaim Yourself to the needy; Heal the sick; Bring back the lost of Your people; Satisfy the hungry; Liberate the captives; Give strength to the weak; Comfort the faint in heart “That all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God” (1 Kings 8: 60); that Jesus Christ is Your Son, and that “we are the sheep of Your pasture ” – St. Clement the Roman . . #aprayer #livinggod #wearehis #dailyreadings #holybible #coptic #orthodoxy

Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God. – Luke 6:20 . . “Let us learn not to call the rich lucky nor the poor unfortunate. Rather, if we are to tell the truth, the rich man is not the one who has collected many possessions but the one who needs few possessions; and the poor man is not the one who has no possessions but the one who has many desires. We ought to consider this definition of poverty and wealth. So if you see someone greedy for many things, you should consider him the poorest of all, even if he has acquired everyone’s money. If, on the other hand, you see someone with few needs, you should count him richest of all, even if he has acquired nothing. For we are accustomed to judge poverty and affluence by the disposition of the mind, not by the measure of one’s substance… those who are satisfied with what they have, and pleased with their own possessions, and do not have their eyes on the substance of others, even if they are the poorest of all should be considered the richest of all” – St John Chrysostom . . #wealth #poverty #poor #dailyreadings #holybible #coptic #orthodoxy

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you – 1 Peter 1:3-4 . . Here, we only live few days then pass away. Here, we are nomads, but in heaven, we shall be residents. Here, you are sojourners, where you hear the voice of the Lord, your God say: “Depart!’. While there, in the eternal house in heaven, no one will command you to depart! In the world it is very hot; but there, we shall enjoy great shade under the wings of God. – St Augustine . #pilgrims #strangers #travelinghome #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodoxy #holybible #eternity #heaven

If we endure we shall also reign with Him – 2 Timothy 2:12 . . He manifests Himself through all nations, all over the world, in great glory; yet also in great affliction. Our life in this journey could never be without temptations; Our progress is realized through temptations; Man will not recognize himself unless he is tempted; will not be crowned, unless he overcomes; will not overcome, unless he fights; and will not fight, unless he encounters enemies and goes through temptations. Such man, therefore, as his heart grows faint, he cries from the end of the world; yet he is not forgotten. Christ intends for us, being the members of His body, to be like His body: to die, to be risen, and to ascend to heaven; So that wherever the Head goes, the other body members would be sure to follow. That is why, through the symbol, we move up in Him, when he allows for us to be tempted by the devil. – St Augustine . #temptation leads to #victory #enduring #holybible #coptic #orthodoxy #dailyreadings
