Jesus spoke these words… O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. John 17:5 . . . Be released from that self which you worship instead of God and which you try always to glorify and exalt before others. Does the world glorify you, my beloved brother? And do you accept this? … Do you not know that glory is due to God alone because He is the Creator and the author of all creation? He alone is self-existent, eternal, powerful and present everywhere… Do you not know that when you glorify yourself or when you let others glorify you, you rob one of God’s attributes and ascribe it to yourself!! … When people praise you, remember the two beautiful verses which say, “I do not receive honor from men.” “And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself ‘ (John. 5:41, 17:5). Learn them by heart and repeat them always within you. – Pope Shenouda #praise #glory #dailyreadings #holy50 #humility #selfforgetfulness
