“The dead man was being buried, and many friends were conducting him to his tomb. Christ, the life and resurrection, meets him there. He is the Destroyer of death and of corruption. He is the One in whom we live and move and are. He is who has restored the nature of man to that which it originally was and has set free our death-fraught flesh from the bonds of death.” ~ St. Cyril of Alexandria #sonofthewidowofnain #power #resurrection #victory #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“The Lord’s promise to us that we would tread over all the power of the enemy is a promise full of power and comfort, which removes fear from the heart. The church so appreciates this divine promise, that it put it at the end of the thanksgiving prayer in order that we may mention it in our prayers every day or even every hour so as not to be afraid of the devils or all the power of the enemy. “ – H.H.
