“For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it” Luke 14:28 . “Therefore, if we wish to have ourselves a gigantic tower high up towards heaven, or a tower sanctified to the Lord, then let us consider the cost to be paid, which is ‘the live faith working in love’. This manifested love makes us carry the Lord’s cross. He begins with us this work, since we are carrying His own cross. He Himself accompanies us the difficult way of the cross, for He has walked through it all by Himself. No one could cross it unless he is hidden in Him. It is He who completes the way, and He lifts us up to the thrill and joy of His resurrection.” Father Tadros Yacoub Malaty #Faithmovesmountains #countingthecost #miracleofmovingtheMokattam #StSamaantheTanner #dailyreadings #fastoftheNativity #Advent #coptic #orthodox
