“In the same way, we have woven a garment for the cold and shivering Christ. We have received the fabric of wisdom from God that we may impart knowledge to some and clothe them with ‘compassion, chastity, kindness, lowliness’ and the other virtues. All these virtues are the spiritual garments of those who have listened to the words of those who teach these virtues, according to him who says, ‘Put on, then, compassion, kindness, lowliness, gentleness’ and so forth, more so Christ Himself, who is all these things to the faithful, according to him who said, ‘Put on the Lord Jesus.’ Therefore, when we have clothed with garments of this type ‘one of the least’ who believe in Christ, we have apparently clothed the Lord himself, so that the word of God in the world will not go naked. But we must also welcome the Son of God who became a stranger and the members of his body who are strangers in the world, untainted by all mundane actions, even as he says about himself and his disciples: ‘They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.’ And Christ asks the Father to permit them to be with Him where He is.” ~ Origen #inheritthekingdom #secondcoming #iwashungry #iwasthirsty #iwasastranger #dailyreadings #holyweek #pascha #coptic #orthodox #copticpascha
