This is what it’s all about for us. Here, and in Part 2 (which I’ve posted in a reply), is the Conversation of St. Seraphim of Sarov with Nikolai Motovilov.

@earth_tracker Why did have access to a firearm?

@FeserEdward Thanks for re-posting. It’s so important to name this and for people to see it.

@AudioScribeOW Regarding her book Thinking Orthodox, approximately the first half had some helpful insights, but the rest of the book is a long monotonous rant about people doing theology without academic credentials. Did she have an editor? I found it unreadable.

@CullumSmith Isn't it about time, folks?

You can plan now for Sunday. https://t.co/kbFqCadCnU

@GranthamIs @Josiaicae I’m certain there are better.

God bless you and have a good evening.

[Timothy Mulligan @AnathemaZed]

@GranthamIs @Josiaicae Obviously not. We’re not legalists.

@ARandomHippo_ @FlatCath Try going without food or any liquids before Sunday Mass this weekend.

[Timothy Mulligan @AnathemaZed]

In the Novus Ordo church, before a Sunday Mass at 10:00 a.m., I can scarf down two Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuits at 9:45 a.m. in my car in the church parking lot and receive Holy Communion at 10:46 a.m. The Catholic Church calls this “the Eucharistic fast.”

In the Orthodox Church, we fast from all food and liquid, including water (except for use with medications) from midnight before receiving the Holy Mysteries, typically around 11:30 a.m. if it’s a 10 a.m. Divine Liturgy. Add about 20 minutes before relief at coffee hour.

Former (traditional) Catholic here. The word that comes to me, having been Orthodox for some time, is "organic." There is something about Orthodoxy that works like a living thing works, with every part contributing to the whole and making perfect sense and having a sense of rightness and goodness. In hindsight, so many of the doctrines of Catholicism, or rather, often, its take on basic Christian truths, is at root the product of men's discursive reason. It's fabricated to that extent, and now, having the savor of Orthodoxy, I cannot stand the smell of those fabrications that either diluted, twisted, or ignored the real Apostolic traditions of Orthodoxy.

@EthanWayne2001 Some people -- even clerics in high positions -- confuse headlines with reality.

Just the fact that Patriarch Kirill is always newsworthy doesn't mean that "the Russian Orthodox Church" is fatally diseased.

[Timothy Mulligan @AnathemaZed]

@PriestKristoph This is why, by the way, that Protestants are unaware that Our Lord actually expects us to do His will to be saved.

[Timothy Mulligan @AnathemaZed]

Fr. Chris, you may not know this, but Protestants don't read the Gospels (although they do know John 3:16 and a verse in John 10 about not being snatched out of the Lord's hand). They do know Romans, a few other Pauline epistles, and some rockin' Proverbs and stuff.

Their women sometimes use Women's Devotional Bibles with Psalms that have flowers in the margins.

@LarryChappGS22 Mr. Chapp, he's @FeserEdward.

Say his name.

[Timothy Mulligan @AnathemaZed]

@FrLillie Protestants don't need to listen to Jesus. They believe in the Bible.
