Slowly becoming Orthodox.

“Ships don't sink because of the water around them, but because of the water that enters them. Don't let what surrounds you fill your soul and drag you down. If you fix the world inside you, you can fix the world around you. Don't talk to people about the Lord if they don't want to hear about Him. Live like the Lord, and they will want to know about Him.”

— Patriarch Pavlos of Serbia

To want to do good — that is yours. But to actually do good — that is God's.

— Saint Isaac the Syrian

[Orthodox Faith @since33]

There is nothing upon Earth Holier, higher, grander, more solemn, more Life-Giving than the Liturgy. The Temple … becomes an Earthly Heaven; those who Officiate represent Christ Himself, the Angels, the Cherubim, Seraphim & the Apostles. ☦️St John of Kronstadt

They were blank walls. A vacuum. Uninspired and uninspiring. Now trashed. Compare to the inside of an Orthodox cathedral. Where could a "rogue" prelate allow graffiti? It would be blasphemy. Art preserves faith. Faith produces art. Humans need visual language.

The Jews rule the world, and the Americans work for them.

Charlie Kirk was asking the uncomfortable questions everyone has been thinking about October 7 https://t.co/8orJgAfYHv

[Orthodox Ethos @OrthodoxEthos]

In honor of Charlie Kirk:

Charlie Kirk was a courageous and believing man who had his finger on the pulse of America’s youth, and who saw where they were going, what they were searching for — the ancient, unchanging Faith of the Church — as indicated in this clip from a recent interview with Tucker Carlson.

Although Charlie was not an Orthodox Christian, he strove to confess and defend — as he knew it — the Christian faith and principles. We know that God is merciful and receives into eternity every soul in its best possible time.

Charlie regularly publicly confessed words and truths from the Gospel of Christ and this is a witness to Truth and to God.

More than 100,000 Orthodox Christians took part in the "Cross Procession" in Moscow.

Maybe this is one of the main reasons why the Western Liberal elites despise the Russians?

A powerful message from the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All The East, John X.

[Greco-Levantines World Wide @GrecoLevantines]

Mirian passed away today. She fought for her life in the ICU but did not survive the wounds she suffered in the massacre at Saint Elias Antiochian Greek Church in Syria.

We need no money.
We need no visas from Greece,like the thousands granted freely to Pakistanis.

We need your voice.
We need the Greek government to call for a special U.N. session.
We need Greece to stand up for those who’ve carried its legacy for centuries. The Antiochian Greeks of Syria, who kept the faith, the language, and the memory alive even under fire.

We are not asking for shelter,we are asking for solidarity.
We are proud to be part of the Greek legacy, even as we pay for it with our blood.

[Father Christopher @FChristopher77]

"God has linked the salvation of people to patience. He who endures to the end will be saved (Matthew 10:22), says the Gospel. That is why God allows hardships and various trials, so that people may exercise patience.”

Saint Paisios of Mount Athos

Same. Glory to God!

[Clint Russell @LibertyLockPod]

Could be wrong but here's my read:

Both Israeli and US intel lied to Trump and told him that Iran's nuclear program would be taken out via the bunker busters and that it would avoid any need for a major war.

He found out last night that this was a lie to get Iran to kill American troops in response and to force Trump into a full on the ground regime change invasion. By the grace of God Iran contacted someone trustworthy in Trump's orbit to warn of their retaliatory strikes and to avoid casualties which would have led to war with the US.

Trump now knows that the Iranians do not want war with us and that, in fact, Israel was trying to trap him into one.

Hence the public posts and profanity-laced tirade from Trump towards Israel this morning.

If I'm right, and I think I am, let's hope Trump now understands the games being played against him. If he removes many people in the intel community and keeps Netanyahu at arm's length it'll both be the right move and prove my hypothesis correct.

Let's hope I'm right.

“Christian Zionism” is especially evil because it makes Christ polygamous with 2 brides - the Church and the nation of antichrist.

She's right.
