Tasoni is the Coptic word for “sister” and the intention of this podcast is to create a space where we can have conversations about our experiences as Coptic women. Join me and Julia Botros today with our first episode as we discuss Coptic spirituality and the role it plays in health and well-being.

We think of Abraham's moment of agony when sacrificing Isaac as that moment at the top of the mountain about to slaughter his son but really the agony was the whole journey. And as we go through hardship, we only see the beauty of that hardship when the storm is over and when we can really appreciate the situation we were just put in, in hindsight. Same for Christ's passion, we only see the glory after the Resurrection.

This is part of the series called "ABBA Give me a WORD".

As we approach Holy Week praying via online services, His Grace shares with us some words from St. John Climacus:
“The effort of bodily prayer can help those not yet granted real prayer of the heart. I am referring to the stretching out of the hands, the beating of the breast, the sincere raising of the eyes heavenward, deep sighs and constant prostrations… If you can, lift up the eyes of your soul, but if not, the eyes of your body.” – (St. John Climacus, The Ladder of Divine Ascent, Step 15, On Chastity)

His Grace also shares with us some words from St. Macarius:
“If you do not have the prayer of the spirit, strive for prayer of the body, and then shall be added to you the prayer in the spirit.” (St. Macarius)

His Grace then continues to share us words from St. Isaac the Syrian:
“Consider every prayer wherein the body does not toil and the heart is not afflicted to be a miscarriage, for this prayer has no soul.” (St. Isaac the Syrian, Homily 21 in The Ascetical Homilies)

His Grace prays that we offer heartfelt prayers, truly raise our hearts to our Lord and pleading for ourselves and for the whole world.

When the Lord Jesus Christ called His disciples, He called them by a few simple words..."Follow Me".
