“Conquer men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of justice to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.”
+ St. Isaac the Syrian
Lazarus, come forth!
Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying.
Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.”
Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”
And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”
Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.
Glory be to God forever. Amen
John 11:40-45
When you feel sad, or depressed, or want to die, remember Psalm 13. Tell God that you feel sad. Ask God for help. Then tell God that you believe that he will answer you.
Remember that the love of God never fails.
إذ رأى اليهود دموع السيد عند قبر لعازر قالوا: "انظروا كيف كان يحبه" ، ونحن إذ نرى دمه يتساقط من جسمه على الصليب نسبحه قائلين: "انظروا كيف يحبنا!"
