Did you know?

As a young boy, Athanasius baptized pagan children in the sea while “playing church”

Seeing this, Patriarch Alexander declared the baptisms valid, confirmed them with chrismation, and became the mentor of the future saint

[Fr. Daniel☦️ @Fragbaza]

Judas, unlike many, realized his sin. He repented bitterly, went to the high priests, threw the money at them, and said, "I have sinned; I have betrayed innocent blood." Everything was almost like a proper confession: awareness, confession, and even a refusal of gain. Yet, one detail was missing—the very one that is often missing after we have recounted our sins to the anointed one.

This detail was faith that God's love is greater than his fall.

Peter denied Christ three times. It was terrible, done with a vow before a simple servant. But he found in himself the courage not only to weep, but also to return to the apostles and wait for the Resurrection, knowing that Christ was alive and merciful.

Judas' despair is the blemish of pride.

It is the inability to accept oneself as forgiven, the inability to believe that you can still be loved after what you have done.

Often we go to confession and do not feel relief because we continue to punish ourselves.

But this is a rebellion against God! If the Lord forgives, who are we to cancel His decision?

Self-flagellation is not humility, but a refined passion.

Let us learn to weep bitterly like the apostle Peter, but to look not at the noose, but into the eyes of the Risen Saviour, who asks us not about the depth of our sin, but about the measure of our love.

In France you get arrested for antisemitism just for asking “Who?”

Thankfully at this point almost everyone knows “who” is being talked about here ✡️🇫🇷

Never let anyone play dumb when it comes to the existence & power of organized world jewry again.

They openly boast at multi-million dollar conferences about the worldwide ethnic network that systematically works to punish the enemies of both dispersed jewry worldwide & the genocidal jewish ethnostate in the Levant. Anyone feigning ignorance at this point is a subversive

[Girardism @Girardism]

“In America, as elsewhere, fundamentalism results from the breakdown of an age-old compromise between religion and anti-religious humanism. And it's anti-religious humanism that is responsible for this breakdown. It espouses doctrines that start with abortion, that continue with genetic manipulation, and that tomorrow will undoubtedly lead to hyperefficient forms of euthanasia. ...

The fundamentalists often defend ideas that I deplore, but a remnant of spiritual health makes them foresee the horror of the warm and fuzzy concentration camp that our benevolent bureaucracies are preparing for us, and their revolt looks more respectable to me than our somnolence. In an era where everyone boasts of being a marginal dissident even as they display a stupefying mimetic docility, the fundamentalists are authentic dissidents.”

Did He say to some:
‘Do not repent, for I won't accept you’,
while to others, predestined:
‘But you, repent! for I knew you beforehand’?

Of course not!

Instead, throughout the world He shouts:
‘Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest’.

[JD™ @LostMyHats]

We worship an ethnic Hebrew who preferred to go by an intentionally universal title, “Son of Man,” who decreed the destruction of the Jewish Temple (Matthew 24:2), personally ended kosher law (Mark 7:19), retired the Old Covenant and gave us a new one in His own blood (Hebrews 8:13, Luke 22:20), called the founders of modern Judaism ‘sons of the devil’ (John 8:44), said that anyone who denies Him rejects Moses (John 5:46-47), and their Synagogue worships the devil (Revelation 2:9, 3:9).

Then His hand-chosen Apostles taught that God no longer sees people as Jews or Gentiles (Galatians 3:28, Colossians 3:11), that believers in Jesus are children of Abraham (Galatians 3:7), that unbelieving Jews are not (Romans 9:6-8), and referred to the Church as the circumcised (Philippians 3:3), as His chosen nation (1 Peter 2:9), and as the ‘Israel of God’ (Galatians 6:16).

The Book was written by the Holy Ghost (2 Peter 1:21), with multiple books written by non-Jewish hands (Luke/Acts), for the benefit of all men (2 Timothy 3:16-17). And the BIG REVEAL of the whole Book is that Jesus came to save the goyim (Ephesians 3:6).

Stop trying to turn the Son of God into your tribal bush deity and some simp mascot for a desert war cult. He’s the King of Kings. Have some respect.

[JD™ @LostMyHats]

The reason he calls Christ “JC Penny” isn’t just to be a funny pun, it’s because (as Eisenmenger explains in Entdecktes Judenthum) the Rabbis teach his name should always be said with disrespect by using a slur or nickname and also to have plausible deniability when accused of it. It’s instinctual to him.

[Aldwin @lerius5]

@Atomixion2 @JemappelleEve All real quotes. Patristic consensus attests that the religion of the Rabbinical Jews (as outlined in the Jewish Talmud, Mishnah, Zohar, etc) is demonic. Many Jews thankfully repented in the first three centuries, others remained hardened and have become much worse over time.

Stefanos Anagnostopoulos: "The Terrible Vision of Old Man Ephrem Arizonski"

Once my old man, Father Ephrem, saw the following scary vision:

"I ended up — he tells us (he's told us five or ten times so far) — in a vast place where there were thousands and thousands of people of all ages and gender. And before that many I stood too. Against me stood a giant, demonic man, a terrible accuser, ready to accuse and convict all with satanic arguments. Arguments that this set itself gave him.

The strangest thing was that this whole multitude was silent; all had mouths, eyes and faces, but their mouths were shut. Everyone was mute because no one had an excuse in this trial that was going on.

And now, what's going to happen? What should I do?

And immediately I tell him boldly - the old man says boldly to this demonic man:
- You can't condemn all these people just because you want to!

Then this scary demon started blaming everyone individually for their sins. First of all, because nobody had any remorse. I repeat it to everyone: No one had remorse!

Second, third, fourth... i will list a few of them: one was a thief, the other was a liar day and night, the third was proud. And not to say "the other and the other" I list: selfish, vile, fornicator, pedophile, homosexual, murderer, father-killer, mother-killer, abortionist, sodomites, drunkards, gamblers, slanderers, soft-witted, cowardly, silver-loving, angry, furious, condemning, gossipers, gossips, blood-mongers, envious, jealous, unjust, predators, wicked, prayerless, people without walking black itching, without confession and repentance, without Holy Communion, merciless, heartless, unholy to parents and elders, criminals, anarchists, immoral, lazy, stubborn, ungrateful... Need I say more?

And I - says the old man - protected them all. “

Stefanos: See what your prayer rope does! See what prayer does. See what the enlightened life does. See what boldness does before God! You are protecting the person who is unrepentant. And you give them light! And divine fear! So that they may come to repentance!

Yet he condemned them based on scripture because all these sins I mentioned were actually written all over the Old and New Testament and the Gospel.

Elder Ephrem continues:
“Yet, I defended them all, invoking God’s compassion, His infinite longsuffering and mercy.

- No! — was the other one. - They will all be condemned forever and ever, because they had no sincere repentance, divine fear, love, divine secrets, prayer, charity and did not forgive each other.

And you know, when we get a little angry, we hang some faces to the ground... especially between husbands. No one should be offended - and between friends, and between associates, neighbors, priests, bishops, monks, between all of us.

I watched these people dumb and voiceless and I felt very sorry for them from the depths of my soul. They were tied with their tongues. Their mouths - shut.

And yet, I didn't stop fighting him. Be careful now what I'm struggling with: fasting, vigil, prayer, worships, rosary, alms, abstinence, pleading tears to our humane Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother.

And while I was constantly fighting him - he was saying his and I objected defending all of them - just then, of the many times he spoke and I spoke, I came to my senses.

And coming to myself, I said:
— And now what's going on? Mother of God is mine! — I cried out in my cell. - Jesus Christ! What times are we living in? Millions and billions of souls are being lost. Jesus, where are we going? Where are we heading to? Where are we heading to?

The hour of death is coming, and people and we go with them indifferent. We are all surrounded by an endless spiritual lethargy and union. No faith, no God, no love, no mercy for a neighbor, no participation in holy mysteries, no prayer, no repentance, no tears.

How will we save our soul, my Christ? How? “

"There is no religious component to my direct quotation of the Golden Rule".

[AD @afdevine_]

@razorfist My favorite part of this is always how atheists think they would be moral without the pervasive influence of Christianity over the last 2000 years. The pre-Christian world was rarely one in which the kind of virtues the atheist admires were practiced.

[Fr. Barnabas Powell @FrBarnabas]

This is something many who grew up in Orthodoxy can’t imagine. Many converts are facing this as they embrace Orthodoxy.

Be kind.

[Girardism @Girardism]

“To become Christian is, fundamentally, to perceive that it isn't just others who have scapegoats. And note that the two greatest Christians, the founders of the church, Peter and Paul, were two converted persecutors. Before their conversion, they, too, thought that they didn't have scapegoats.”

“Porn is now background noise, babies in the womb are merely clumps of alien cells, and infants are the objects not of unconditional parental love but of consumer taste. What must we conclude from all this? That we have truly used our godlike powers, our human genius, to make ourselves into mere handfuls of dust.”

This morning I met a priest monk that told me everything I do on the internet. He told me about a poast I did last night. Surely he’s got a twitter. No he’s blind and clairvoyant. This post is to ask forgiveness of all the people I have offended on social media. Please forgive me, a sinner. 🙇
