The theologian is another Baptist and a forerunner of Christ, who is a lamp of light and a morning star for every human soul. In fact, the theologian is a mirror reflecting the divine light. If he has not received the light, he cannot transmit this light. The theologian is the one who draws from lines and words and squeezes out from pages and books the water that the Samaritan drunk from, so that rivers of living water will gush forth from him to his brothers and sisters. The theologian is the son of the temple and of the worshiping world. In his worship, he enters into a "holy sabbatical," where God rests. The theologian is born on the eighth day. He does not want to escape this life, but he desires to reveal the time of the kingdom in this earthly time. + His Eminence Metropolitan Paul of Aleppo, kidnapped and still missing in Syria #christianorthodox #orthodox #freethebishops #paul_yazigi #paulyazigi #syria #aleppo (at Omaha, Nebraska) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRDmpchFtj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12aryhx5jj0ia

Lord, shed upon our darkened souls the brilliant light of your wisdom so that we may be enlightened and serve you with renewed purity. Sunrise marks the hour for men to begin their toil, but in our souls, Lord, prepare a dwelling for the day that will never end. Grant that we may come to know the risen life and that nothing may distract us from the delights you offer. Through our unremitting zeal for you, Lord, set upon us the sign of your day that is not measured by the sun.

Indeed it is impossible to understand Jesus well, without being born of the spirit, and living by the spirit, who alone can provoke in us every good thought, and enable us to testify to those spiritual things and say: ‘come, Lord Jesus’ and make us worthy to hear the blessed and wonderful words of Jesus ‘“Yes I’m coming soon”. (Rev.21:17) Amen + His Eminence Metropolitan Paul of Aleppo, kidnapped and still missing in Syria #christianorthodox #orthodox #freethebishops #paul_yazigi #paulyazigi #quotes (at Omaha, Nebraska) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWK85fhRJW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fufvyxnvztbi

‏القلب البشري يمكنه أن يكون مسرحاً لعشّاقٍ عديدين، تختارهم الحرية البشرية. ولقد جال في قلب هذه المصرية معشوقان، الدنيا والله. لكن القلب لم يرتح إلا في خالقه ومبدعه ومعشوقه الحقيقي. التوبة هي عيش الحب الحقيقي للإنسان. ‏أسير المسيح ‏المطران بولس يازجي ‏⁦‪#freethebishops‬⁩ (at Omaha, Nebraska) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwNbDcFl899/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17hk1squkx972
