☦ 1 Kings 19:11-12

[Orthodox Ethos @OrthodoxEthos]

“From the day of Pentecost the Gospel has spread not by “the sharing of the word” of Scripture but through “the eyewitnesses of the Word.” The Word has “become flesh,” and thus what is to be shared with the world is not a book but His Incarnation. The Incarnation continuing, Christ Himself is encountered in and through the Church, in those who declare with the Apostle, “it is not I, but Christ Who lives in me.” Through them the world sees Christ and becomes His disciples.”

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

[Father Spyridon Bailey @Fatherspyridon]

"Understand one thing: it is not good when we return the love of those who love us, yet hate those who hate us. We are not on the right path if we do this. We are the sons of light & love, the sons of God, His children. As such we must have His qualities & His attributes of love, peace, & kindness towards all." - Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

[Church Fathers @fathers_church]

Wholly ineffable
are the lightning flashes
of divine beauty.

Speech cannot express it,
hearing cannot take it in,
invisible to fleshly eyes,
it is comprehended only
by the soul and nous.

Whenever it illumined any saint
it left embedded in him
an intolerable sting of yearning.

[Δημήτρης Ρόδης @jimmyrodis]

Τα λυπηρά που μας συμβαίνουν γίνονται ή για παιδαγώγηση μας , ή για την εξάλειψη παλιών αμαρτιών, ή για διόρθωση της τωρινής αμέλειάς μας, ή για αποτροπή μελλοντ��κών αμαρτιών.

~ Άγιος Μάξιμος ο Ομολογητής, ''Περί πειρασμών'', Φιλοκαλία των Ιερών Νηπτικών.

"Fasting appears gloomy until one steps into its arena. But begin & you will see what light it brings after darkness, what freedom from bonds, what release after a burdensome life.”- St Theophan the Recluse

How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. James 4:14

@davidmWats @Fatherspyridon Always use righteous anger. You can always flip the money-changers' tables, just don't flip the money changers.

[Flash Trance @FlashTrance55]

@davidmWats @Fatherspyridon Anger is not required to fight (see "Obi-Wan Kenobi"). We should also distinguish between "righteous anger" which hates sin, and "passionate anger" which hates people and circumstances.

[Father Spyridon Bailey @Fatherspyridon]

“A man can never learn what divine power is while he abides in comfort and spacious living.” - St. Isaac the Syrian

[Church Fathers @fathers_church]

Here comes the answer

[Church Fathers @fathers_church]

Abortion is murder before birth.
Indeed, it is something worse than murder,
and I do not know what to call it;
for the murderess does not kill what is formed
but prevents its formation.

St John Chrysostom (+407)

[THE ORTHOCHAT @THEORTHOCHAT]

An absolutely incredible miracle story from an Orthodox Priest…

If God reveals Himself so explicitly through Orthodoxy, why would anyone not convert?

MILLIONS will be baptized 🤲🏽☦️

AUTUMN AT OUR MONASTERY
“All the beauty of nature emanates from the mystery of the Mysterious. Without this mystery of the Mysterious, nature could not for a single moment preserve that quiet, chaste beauty that shines through it."
— St Nikolai Velimirovich

[Church Fathers @fathers_church]

The true light appears
to those who sit in darkness
and the shadow of death,

and this light blends itself
with our human nature.

St Gregory of Nyssa (+395)

[Father Spyridon Bailey @Fatherspyridon]

“Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved.” - Saint John Chrysostom

[TheOrthodoxWay @_theorthodoxway]

"The beauty of God’s creation is a silent sermon, calling the soul to worship its Creator."
– St. Gregory of Nyssa
