• The sixth Hour of the Eve of Holy Friday • “By saying then, “If it be possible, let it pass from me,” he showed his true humanity. But by saying, “Nevertheless not as I will, but as you will,” he showed his virtue and selfcommand. This too teaches us, even when nature pulls us back, to follow God. In order to make clear that he is truly God and truly human, words alone would not suffice. Deeds were needed. So he joined deeds with words in order that even those who have been highly contentious may believe that he both became man and died” - St John Chrysostom • • • #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #sayingsofthefathers #faith #orthodoxy #copticorthodox #christianity #liturgy #gospel #praise #grace #hope #faithful #copticfathers #saints #ukmidcopts

It always interests me when I read what David writes when he says our life on earth is but a vapor. It is poetic and brings to the mind something dissipating quickly and likens it to the reality of our short time on earth. It reminds me that I should not be tempted to think I have a long time left as that will only encourage me to delay things to “tomorrow”, and despite this reminder I still tend to procrastinate. As we approach the week of Pascha and the parable of the 10 virgins it becomes more apparent that we should act soon, repent and try to pursue a genuine relationship with God lest we come to the door and He says something we will not be able to bear, “‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’” ♱ #coptic #orthodox #sayingsofthefathers #orthodoxsaintstories #orthodoxchristianity #christians #christian #orthodoxy #bible #saints #saint #copticorthdoxchurch
