"In our discussions, he often encouraged me to say the Jesus Prayer. He advised me to say this prayer using a certain technique, with my hand on my pulse, every heartbeat accompanied by a word of the prayer. I also tried to say the prayer when I was stretched out in bed and had no other preoccupation. When we met, Valeriu always asked me about the prayer. I would tell him that I was making an effort, but despite all my endeavors, I had not succeeded in saying the prayer as it ought to be said, that is, with the heart.
'Listen,' he said, 'a moment will come in your life when, without any effort on your part, your heart will sing the prayer on its own and you will hear it.'"
—From an account by Octavian Anastasescu about new martyr Valeriu Gafencu which took place in 1951
Vlad the Impaler was the OG Border Patrol Agent of Romania. They called him ‘ruthless’ and ‘vicious,’ but he cared about his people and protected their borders.

It’s easy to cry with those who cry.
But it’s hard - truly hard - to rejoice with those who rejoice. To feel their success as your own.
To celebrate their breakthrough like it was yours.
To smile from the heart when life smiles on them.
Why?
Because envy quietly poisons the soul.
It steals our joy and blocks the command of God:
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
If you can’t rejoice when your brother is blessed, do you really love him?
That is the narrow path of true Christianity.
3 days after his son was murdered, Mark Nowak had to fight tooth & nail to stop the police from issuing a statement claiming Henry had racially abused Vickrum Digwa.
They had no evidence of any racial abuse from Henry. The police are trained to side with foreigners by default 🇬🇧
After being robbed at knifepoint by Algerian immigrant Said Malkoun, this Italian woman Cinzia Dal Pino got into her car, ran him over multiple times, killed him, grabbed her bag back, and drove away.
Italian prosecutors are now demanding life imprisonment, claiming she was fully in control of her actions despite having just been mugged.
So why is it that whenever Muslims run over innocent civilians, the immediate explanation is always “mentally ill”?
