Why is a private think-tank that briefs and informs U.S. Congress on foreign relations saying if Christians are looking to be martyred Israel will oblige them? “They have implanted themselves in a battlefield.” St. Porphyrios Orthodox Church has been there since 407AD.

Timeline cleanse. Patriarch Porfirije of the Serbian Orthodox Church picking blueberries. “ “When our hands are clean and conscience is calm — even the blueberry tastes better.”

Just another casual threat to murder Christians. It’d be interesting to know who’s associated with the Jewish Policy Center. It’d be even more revealing to know what Ted Cruz, Speaker Mike Johnson and other self-described Christians in the congress think of it. Maybe someone will

Anonymous Orthodox monk on Mt. Athos records the natural phenomenon of a broken spectre; where a persons shadow is cast on a cloud with the sun behind the observer, creating a halo type ring of colored light. There is of course, a spiritual reality present here as well.

The primate of the Zelensky-backed OCU, Dumenko, is holding first services today in the seized Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Archangel Michael Cathedral. Reminder of how the OCU obtained said cathedral with this footage. By their fruits, you will know them.

All the more necessary as we are noticing a growing number of Orthodox books that we have reason to believe are partially or completely AI-generated. Some have even reached the Amazon best-seller list in "Christianity Orthodoxy".

“Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you! Pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you.” + Matthew 5:44 An account that blasphemes iconography replacing Christ with a frog doesn’t know what Christ says. Feds used to be believable.

Only those people who are praying won’t be susceptible to deception. As St. Sophrony says, no one is able to control a true Christian living in the heart.

Yesterday we made 50 more Catechumens, bringing our current total to 164. Pray for my Priest, Father David Winn, as he continues to accept more and more weight as providence from the hand of God. Pray for our new little ones; that they make it to the font.

False narrative continuing being built how ROCOR and the OCA are influenced by the Kremlin; ironic with ROCOR’s history of opposition to said Kremlin. It’s the same justifications used in Ukraine to persecute the UOC.
