‘The deeds of mercy are the seeds of the coming harvest. He, who is misery when sawing, will also harvest miserly. Where also he who saws plentifully will likewise harvest plentifully. He who does not sow anything will not profit anything’ – St Augustine #coptic #orthodoxy #pray#preach #copticorthodox #harvest

Therefore, they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city. But there was a certain man, called Simon, which before time in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria. – John Chrysostom . #Scattered #ChurchPersecution #Preach #PreachHisWord #CopticOrthodox #Coptic #Orthodox #DailyReadings #SpreadTheWord

And Jesus said to Simon, ‘Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men’ – Luke 5:10 . . “All who have been ordained for the Ministry of the Word have received from the dear God the command never to abandon our duty, and never to be silent, whether anyone listens to us or not. Thus I am determined… as long as I live, and as long as God pleases to leave me in this life, to fulfil this duty and carry out this command, whether anyone pays attention or not. There are those who make merry over us and say: stop the good advice, skip the admonitions; they will not listen to you, let them go. What are you saying? Have we promised to convert all men in one day? If only ten, or only five, or indeed only one, repents, is not that consolation enough? … what is not accomplished today, can be accomplished tomorrow or if not tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow or later. So a fisherman may draw in his net all day long without any catch: yet, in the evening, at the very moment when he is about to depart for home he often catches a fish that had avoided him all day long… the very same is true of each and every calling” – St John Chrysostom . . #fishersofmen #preach #orthodoxy #coptic #holybible #dailyreadings
