Remember the persecuted 🙏☦️

"When there is a respect for small things, there will be an even greater respect towards the bigger things. When there is no respect for small things, then neither will there be for the bigger ones. This is how the Fathers maintained Tradition." - St. Paisios the Athonite

People are coming to Christ all over the world and the Satan is throwing an absolute fit of rage.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

“A meek and humble soul is better than these flowers, both the smell and aroma are better and more beautiful. God created flowers for man, so that the soul in the creature glorifies the Creator and loves Him.” ~ St. Silouan the Athonite

From an article recounting a personal anecdote to illustrate that the Creed confesses “one God the Father,” not an undifferentiated “triune God,” aligning with monotheism rooted in the monarchy of the Father.

‘Let my prayer come before thee as incense, the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice’ ~Psalm 141:2 (used during Vespers as the whole church is censed)

I have seen impure souls crazed for physical love; but when these same souls have made this grounds for repentance… they have transferred the same eros to the Lord. They have immediately gone beyond all fear and been spurred to insatiable love for God. ~ St. John Climacus
