Make sure that after these tribulations God will give Grace, because every grace proceeded by a disaster. Surrender your circumstances to Him as He is sincere in his promise ( I will not forget nor forsake you, if the mother forgets her baby I do not forget. We are hard-pressed on every side, but not in despair; Cast all your cares upon Him because He cares for you ). – H.H Pope Kyrillos Vl . . #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #carriesourburdens

Through the Holy Spirit comes our restoration to paradise, our ascension into the kingdom of heaven, our return to the adoption of sons, our liberty to call God our Father, our being made partakers of the grace of Christ, our being called children of light, our sharing in eternal glory, and, in a word, our being brought into a state of all “fullness of blessing,” both in this world and in the world to come, of all the good gifts that are in store for us, by promise hereof, through faith, beholding the reflection of their grace as though they were already present, we await the full enjoyment. – St Basil the Great‘#church fathers #orthodoxy #orthopraxis

Beloved, the end of all our paths is Christ: in Him we are made perfect, for our perfection is to come home to Him. Don’t seek for anything else. He is your end, to Him you are journeying, and when you have arrived there you will not seek further, for you can desire nothing better than to come home to Him. He has led us on, He himself being our way, and He brings us to Himself as to our home. We come through Christ to Christ, through the Word made flesh to the Word which in the beginning was God with God, for He says to us: I am the way and to Me you come. – St Augustine . . #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #path #guide
