“In the incarnation the God who utterly transcends His creation has imprinted Himself onto His creation like a seal… By assenting to the incarnation at the moment of the annunciation, Mary has made this possible, because God willed to be dependent on humans even in this.”
“Some icons are miraculous because it so pleases God, but the power is not in the icons, or in the people turning to them, but in the mercy of God.”
St. Theophan the Recluse
@EqualEffrontery Ok, but can you share anything that would substantiate the MP was behaving like the EP has over the past few decades? I'm ignorant of such things..
@EqualEffrontery I'm confused.. your first post said MP now you're saying EP. I would like to know where the MP set up rival vicarates etc.. I know the EP has for decades..
But Thou, Who hast resurrected the dead, raise also me who am deadened by sin. Thou Who hast healed the blind, enlighten the clouded eyes of my heart. Thou Who hast delivered Adam from the mouth of the serpent, pull me out of the mire of mine iniquities...
@frjohnwhiteford My decision to leave goarch and join Antioch is making me feel better and better. We still have to deal with folks Fr. Damick, but hopefully the new Archbishop (Saba) will reign in the wokeness.
@trinca_paul@AwakenWithJP I sincerely hope JP will really explore the ancient Church and come to know Christ in the most profound way.. the way He commanded. ☦️
