Fraction to the Son at Anytime: Fr. Antonious Tanious

Coptic Orthodox Fraction to the Son at anytime by Fr. Antonious Tanious O the only begotten Son, God the Word, who loved us and because of his love He wanted to save us from eternal damnation, but since death was in the way of our salvation, he yearned to go through it because of his love for us. And so, He was raised on the cross to carry the punishment of our sins. We are the ones who sinned and He was the one who suffered. We are the ones who were indebted to divine justice as a result of our sins and He was the one who paid off our debts for us. For our sake, He preferred suffering to ease and comfort, toil to rest, shame to glory and the cross to the throne which is carried by the cherubim. He consented to be tied with ropes to release us from the bonds of our sins. He humbled himself to lift us up. He hungered to feed us and thirsted to quench our thirst. He went up on the cross, naked, to clothe us with the cloak of His righteousness. He opened His side with a spear that we enter and dwell in the throne of his grace and that His blood may flow from His body and wash away our sins. Finally He died and was buried in a grave that He may raise us up from the death of sin and grant us an everlasting life. So my God, it is my sins that are the thorns that plunged into your Holy head. It is I who saddened your heart by indulging in the worthless pleasures of the world. What is this road leading to death which you are walking O my Lord and Savior? What is that which you carry on your shoulders? O it is the cross of shame that you carry on my behalf! How could this be my redeemer? What made you accept all this? Could the great one be disgraced? Could the glorified one be humiliated? Could the most high be humbled? O how great is your love! Yes, it is your great love which made you accept and bear all this suffering for my sake, so I thank you my Lord. And all your angels and creatures thank you on my behalf for I am unable to give you thanks which match your love. Have we then ever witnessed a love that is greater than this love? So then grieve O my soul for your sins which have inflicted all this pain on our compassionate redeemer! Visualize his wounds before you and take refuge in him when the enemy is stirred up against you. O my Savior let me cherish your suffering as my treasure, your crown of thorns as my glory, your pain as my joy, your myrr as sweetness in my mouth, your blood as my life, and your love as my honor and gratitude. O the wounds of Christ, stab me with the spear of divine love. O the death of Christ, exhilarate me with the love of the one who died for me. O the blood of Christ, purify me of all my sins. O Jesus my beloved if you see me a withering member, revive me with the oil of your grace and affirm me in You as a living branch O thou the true vine. And when I come forth to take part of your mysteries, make me worthy to and ready to unite with you. So that I may call upon you O the heavenly father with the tune of children and say Our father....
