St Paisios: on having zero excuse Christ is tolerating the present state of things. He tolerates, and divine Grace acts for the sake of our people. This is only a storm. Things will not stay this way; they will clear up. Don’t you see what it says in the Gospel: A bruised reed He will not break...

Babies were aborted alive, placed in fridge to harvest cell lines used in some vaccines: researcher So these babies were literally placed into the fridge alive and then stored between one and 24 hours until they could be dismembered, basically. And this is right there in the scientific...

Glory to God! It struck me yesterday, the Church Triumphant - how glorious what God what has given us! How unworthy I am of this! Lord have mercy!

*I was driving back from Baltimore today and had the radio off, giving myself time to think about God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and of all things visible and invisible, the universe, every atom, quanta-under-quantum-mechanics, every energy expulsion of mitochondria, and every...

Christ, who is God, literally Creator of heaven and earth - every single thing you and I see, feel, hear, or experience, said "Woman" to His most Pure Blessed Mother the Theotokos, ever Virgin Mary, in a show of honor - who is above the angels, higher then the Seraphim and Cherubim - above every...

You may just be hearing old stories about Elder Ephraim, who was hated while he established 20 monasteries across America and Canada - which is astounding, and such a blessing in our godless. Olga Rozhneva, Alexandra Lagos. The great work of Elder Ephraim of Arizona: A conversation with...

The good news is you probably only need one shot, if you ever needed one. Covid-19: People who have had infection might only need one dose of mRNA vaccine Two weeks after a single dose of vaccine, people who had previously had covid-19 had antibody concentrations that were as high, or up to 10...

The Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia - Official Website If one had the opportunity to venerate the Kursk Root Icon, would they venerate her hand? Just the edge of the icon? Do people do full prostrations (if not on Sunday)? Edit: perhaps just the corner, I'd feel impious trying to...

I've been trying to take to heart many talks of Fr Kosmas of Australia, which say "go slowly" and measuring any progress in terms of years, not months. Even when I hear it, or read about Saints who struggled with a passion for 20 years, I still think I should have it the next day in my pride...

St Ignatius Brianchaninov is a great read and help in intercession when feeling slack, or trudging around in regret - he reads like a military general commanding you to fight the unseen warfare - including your regret and overthinking! A Saints commentary noted that regret can become an idol. I...
