“But perchance sin overtakes us from our mortal life: what shall be done then? What? Shall there be now despair? Hear: And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and He is the propitiator for our sins. He then is the advocate; do your endeavor not to sin: if from the infirmity of this life sin shall overtake you, see to it straightway, straightway be displeased, straightway condemn it; and when you have condemned, you shall come assured unto the Judge.

Cry, We have an advocate with the Father.” St Augustine #JesusChrist #propitiation #atonement #sacrifice #advocate #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #ApostlesFast
