An unhappy person, carrying evil within themselves, destroys everything around them, even to close friends and loved ones. A generous person spreads peace and joy around them, lifts up the ruined, brings comfort and help to those in need.

— Saint Seraphim of Sarov

Saint Paisios, pray to God for us.

Our Savior teaches us that a person is known by their deeds, just as a tree is known by its fruits. However, the fruits take time to appear. Therefore, we should not rush to judge, nor fall prey to the enthusiasm of the moment, but carefully look at what a person leaves behind - at the real consequences of their words and deeds.

When Charles Lindbergh wrote two books exposing the banking powers behind the federal reserve act they didn’t just burn the books… they destroyed the printing plates.

Here is what Lindberg had to say about the federal reserve act:

"This Act establishes the most gigantic trust on Earth. When the President signs this bill, the invisible government by the Monetary Power will be legalized, the people may not know it immediately, but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed ... The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking bill."

One of the reasons I came to Orthodoxy. I don't have to think about PSA. I know that God loves me.

We must not mind insulting men, if by respecting them we offend God.

"The Lord loves all people, but He loves those who seek Him even more. To his chosen ones the Lord gives such great grace that for love they forsake the whole earth, the whole world, & their souls burn with desire that all people might be saved & see the glory of the Lord." - St Silouan the Athonite

The Holy Royal Martyrs of Russia

July 17 marks the day of remembrance for the Holy Royal Martyrs: Emperor Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra, Tsarevich Alexei, Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia, and Righteous Eugene Botkin.Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II was born on May 18, 1868, on the feast day of the Righteous Job the Sufferer.

The future emperor was the eldest son of Alexander III and was raised in the spirit of Orthodoxy. Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, born Princess Alix, was born on June 7, 1872, in Darmstadt, a small principality within the German Empire. She was the granddaughter of the British Queen Victoria. Her mother raised her strictly in accordance with Christian commandments.

In 1894, at the mutual request of Tsarevich Nicholas and Princess Alix, Emperor Alexander III gave his blessing for his son's marriage. On October 20 of that same year, Alexander III died. The following day, Princess Alix was chrismated into Orthodoxy, taking the name Alexandra.

A year after their wedding, on November 3, 1895, the first child was born to the imperial family—Grand Duchess Olga. She was followed by the births of three other grand duchesses: Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia, all of whom were full of life and health. In 1904, Tsarevich Alexei was born, but his life was constantly in jeopardy as he suffered from hemophilia.

A deep, sincere religiosity distinguished the imperial family from other aristocratic families of the era. Strict observance of fasts and constant attendance at Sunday and festive services characterized this family, including the children. Emperor Nicholas II sought to bring religious and moral laws into the country.

But no matter how hard the Tsar tried, during his reign Russia faced growing political unrest, social upheaval, and the ultimate outbreak of the Russian Revolution. In 1917, the Emperor abdicated the throne. Despite their tragic imprisonment and eventual execution in Yekaterinburg on July 17, 1918, the imperial family and their loyal doctor, Eugene Botkin, maintained their profound faith and Christian fortitude until the very end.

God loves us more than a father, mother, friend, or any else could love, and even more than we are able to love ourselves.

Independence has been declared, the population is learning about the document, but there is a general sense of: “now, what shall we do?”

It is true that the United Colonies or United States or whatever this nation is called is unilaterally independent, but her parent nation shall not release her easily.

The Declaration of Independence is signed - but the battle has only just begun.
