    Seems like I'm on the verge of lapsing.

    I have been getting caught up in the world. Passions. Vices. Nothing overt or extreme, but enough to really start carrying me out to sea, so to speak. I'm losing my sense of spirituality. It doesn't help that I can go to church only two, maybe three times a week at the most. During most of...

    Yep. You don't need to go to war to get PTSD. Move to Kansas, live through a tornado, and you're all set.

    Last report I could find about the monastery was several days ago, when Mother Cassiana returned to feed her chickens and told reporters that the fire was two miles away. Nobody I know can establish any contact with her lately. I'm assuming she's safe in Colorado Springs, but it'd be nice to...

    Orthodox view on the Rosary?

    Orthodox view on the Rosary?

    It helps. I find it more productive than the swing-by-the-hip "What exactly am I supposed to be praying right now" ways of Protestantism.

    Orthodox view on the Rosary?
