He does not need anything of ours, but we stand in need of all things from Him. In point of fact, thanksgiving adds nothing to Him, but it brings us closer to Him. For if, when we recall the benefactions of men, we are the more warmed by affection for them; much more, when we continually bring to mind the benefits of the Master towards us, shall we be more earnest with regard to His commandments. – St John Chrysostom . . #thanksgiving #praise #bringsjoy #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #gratitude

“This bread which Jesus breaks is truly the mystical Word of God and a discourse about Christ which is increased while it is distributed. From a few discourses, he ministered abundant nourishment to all peoples. He gave discourses to us like loaves that are doubled when they are poured forth from our mouths. That bread in an incomprehensible fashion is visibly increased when it is broken, when it is distributed, when it is eaten without any understanding of how it is provided…. Truly, Christ’s gifts seem small but are very great. They are not bestowed on one person but on peoples, for the food grew in the mouth of those who ate it. This food seemed to be for bodily nourishment but was taken for eternal salvation.” St Ambrose #miracle #feedingthousands #thanksgiving #heavenlynourishment #Christsatisfies #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings

“Christ did not gain victory for His own sake, but for our benefit. Having become a Man, yet He remained as God and conquered the devil. He, who has never sinned acquired victory for our sake, we, who were bound in death because of sin. The death of Christ conquered the devil, who was committed to deliver all those who died because of sin.” St Ambrose #FeastofEntryofTheLordintoEgypt #OutofEgypt #IcalledMySon #BlessedbeEgypt #Mypeople #HolyFamilyinEgypt #victorious #inChrist #thanksgiving #HolyFifty #Christisrisen #TrulyHeisrisen #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings
