@JayDyer Dude is literally a fake pious Karen. It’s been exposed and confirmed this year we are run my p*do elite and this dude is still wielding “conspiracy theories” as a discrediting smear tactic. Very out of touch.
@JackWantsToKnow @Barely_Christ @Alex_Ortodoxie You said recent drama I assumed you meant the nigga thing. Maybe you meant Ruslan or something. My bad.
They can’t take this from you btw
No false religion, atheism, government, can ever take this joy from you
You see all these people coming to Orthodoxy, who realized that we’re the shield against the world
The Bride of Christ
You’re a part of it
Never let them take your joy
Someone says: “I dreamed in my life of having a family, and I wanted through that way and that path to be saved.
But that goal was not achieved…
I got married, and my marriage failed…
I got married and had no children…
I didn’t get married at all…
Or someone deceived me, betrayed me, hurt me, a thousand and one things happened…
My plans were cancelled.
This is not how I wanted my life to be!
What do I do now?”
Alright, I use the reason that God has given me and say:
“Look, this is my reality. I am here, in this place, with these circumstances, with these facts, with these people, with these possibilities.
So, with these, I will make sure to be saved.”
Because the will of God is not this or that. His will is my salvation.
You might say, “I was dreaming…” Well, I too once dreamed. I dreamed of staying on Mount Athos, having a nice little hut in Nea Skiti, where I was living then, and enjoying the honey of the quietness of the Holy Mountain.
And instead, I found myself in Limassol, in the very center of the city! Not even on the outskirts, right in the middle of the city!
And in fact, when I first came to Limassol, because the Metropolis building we stayed in then had many difficulties, I lived in a very small room, 1.5 meters wide and 2 meters long. It still exists today. And it was right on the street.
So every night we couldn’t sleep, especially on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, when all the clubs around here hold their own “vigils” and “prayers” all night long.
Especially on major feast days, we have “all-night vigils” with loud “chanters” and “psalmists” singing all through the night.
Which, by about 4:00 in the morning, end in chaos — shouting, swearing, and fighting among young people.
We still hear them every night. Now we are used to it, but in the beginning, it was very difficult.
What can we say? This is our world.
And I see the same thing in my personal life.
It was never my life’s dream to come to Limassol and become a Metropolitan.
I confess to you, I had never thought about it, not even once.
Not even in a dream.
I had another vision for my life.
But God changed things; that is how life unfolded.
Naturally, as human beings, when the visions of our life change, we feel shaken. We say, “Ah, I wish I were there, I wish my life were like that.”
But what is the true goal?
Is it Mount Athos? Monasticism? Family? Children? Home? Job? Even health?
No, these are not the goal.
These are means that can lead us toward the goal.
The goal, the true desire, is Christ.
Christ is what we seek!
So leave behind your fantasies and daydreams, and land where you are!
You are in this city, with these circumstances, with these strengths you have, at this age you are, with these people around you
and with everything that exists in your life now, you must work out your salvation.
✝️ Fr. Athanasios, Metropolitan of Limassol
