Am in a mild state of shock, having learned that my mother, a life-long trinitarian Christian for most of her life in her seventies, and who had been for the past year or two inquiring into Orthodoxy, took my daughter to visit a mosque (uncritically) to hear Islamic teaching and she (my mother) has expressed the eclectic idea of looking for truth frm various sources, rather than seeking THE Truth. I’d ask for prayers for her, and for my daughter, who has turned away from faith.

It reveals a gap between me and my mother that I hadn’t known existed, and could be REALLY divisive in the family. My mother has been an anchor for me as a permanent exile from my homeland, as well as just being my mother. I am seriously depressed. No names in public, sorry. Any prayers appreciated.

Please pray for rain for southern British Columbia. So many fires. Visibility is less than a hundred feet right now where I live from the smoke, my lungs hurt, eyes burn, and there are many many people suffering far worse. Lord have mercy.

holy prophet Elijah pray to God for us!

Thank you!
I drove to Moscow and brought her home yesterday. All is well.

I’ll talk to my mom again when things have cooled down a little more.

Today, I've officially been made a catechumen. This is a small stepping stone. Yet, a milestone; it is the furthest I've ever come down the path towards Jesus and His Body, the Holy Orthodox Catholic Church. As always: Please kindly pray for my own poor and unworthy soul. :)
Glory to God!!!

Prayers for you. :)
