In 1990, during another visit [to Russia], Bishop Basil met a young priest who had graduated from the theological faculty with distinction, yet did not continue on to higher studies because he chose instead to serve a neglected parish in a village in the Kostroma region and restore its crumbling eighteenth-century temple. This priest asked the bishop to bless his church by celebrating the Divine Liturgy there. As usual, the companion tried to prevent the bishop from accepting. This time, the distance between where they were and the church in question was much farther—only six hundred kilometers! The bishop obeyed. He set out with the priest and his companion by car, after obtaining the episcopal vestments.
After several hours of travel, traffic came to a halt because of an accident between a motorcycle and a truck. The bishop learned that the motorcyclist had died. He got out of the car and went to the site of the accident, where he found a young man weeping bitterly over his dead father. He said to the young man, "I am an Orthodox priest." Then he asked him, "Was your father a believer, so that I may read the prayers for him?" The young man replied, "Yes, yes, certainly. Please read the necessary prayers. My father was a very faithful Orthodox man, and he had a spiritual father. But he did not go to church."
Bishop Basil asked in surprise, "How could he have a spiritual father and yet not go to church?" The young man answered, "My father had been an atheist. But he listened regularly to the weekly spiritual talks of Father Rodzianko (Bishop Basil himself) on the BBC. Through him, he came to faith, and he obeyed everything that this priest said, considering him his spiritual father."
Tears streamed from Bishop Basil's eyes as he put on his epitrachelion and began to pray for the soul of his spiritual son, who until that moment had been unknown to him.
Who could have imagined that God had arranged this meeting so that this man would not be deprived of the blessing of his spiritual father? These are the hidden purposes of God. They may not be revealed to us quickly every time, but the fact that they remain hidden does not mean that God is not following us in the details of our lives, leading us toward the salvation for which we hope.

Force yourself to pray. At first you will find it difficult; afterwards, however, the more you compel yourself, the more easily you will pray.

The other day a young man came to me and said, 'Father, I should have died yesterday, but God saved me.' I was riding a motorcycle at high speed, and when I collided with a car, I flew far to the side. After the collision, I saw an old man grabbing my right hand firmly. Because of this, I remained whole and unharmed."
The priest showed the young man icons of several saints and photographs of modern elders. Seeing the photo of Elder Paisios, the young man screamed excitedly:
"It was him!"
A few days later, the young man came to me again. He told me he had just found an icon of Christ and a photograph of Saint Paisios the Athonite in the pocket of the jacket he was wearing during the accident. The pocket was on the right sleeve, exactly where the Old Man had grabbed him. His mother had secretly put the photo and icon there.

“The Lord sometimes allows people who are devoted to Him to fall into such dreadful vices; and this is in order to prevent them from falling into a still greater sin-- pride.
Your temptation will pass and you will spend the remaining days of your life in humility. Only do not forget your sin.”

🚨The sun is setting on a legend... 🌅The U.S. Air Force has now ended training for new A-10C Thunderbolt II pilots, another major step toward the retirement of the iconic Warthog. On April 3, 2026, the 357th Fighter Squadron at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, graduated the final class of A-10 student pilots. After wrapping up their mission qualification training in mid-March, these aviators capped it off with a close air support exercise. It's the perfect send-off for the aircraft/pilots that defined CAS for generations. From the BRRRRT that struck fear into enemies to the unmatched toughness that brought so many pilots home safe, the A-10 earned its place in Air Force legend. Fair winds and Godspeed to the Thunderbolt II, and every Warthog driver who flew her. Rest easy, old girl. 🇺🇸#A10Warthog #EndOfAnEra #USAF #CloseAirSupport @TheAviationist
🚨🇺🇸BOOM. President Trump just torched Pope Leo XIV for criticizing America’s naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and our tough stance on Iran. Trump called him out as weak on crime and foreign policy,... absolute savage mode. The Pope fired back saying he has “no fear.” As a Vet who’s had boots on the ground dealing with these terror sponsors, I’m here for a President who tells the globalist elite, and even the Vatican to stay in their damn lane. We’re not asking for permission to choke off the world’s #1 terror regime. Iran stones women, arms our enemies, and chases nukes. Weak leadership got us into this mess. Strength gets us out. America First means no apologies. Who’s with Trump on this? #TrumpVsPope #AmericaFirst #StandWithTrump #IranBlockade #NoMoreWeakness

This is the priest who died on the Titanic to hear confessions and administer last rites.
Given the opportunity to board a lifeboat on two separate occasions, Father Thomas Byles firmly declined. He chose instead to stay behind, absolving sins and consoling the doomed passengers.
Following the vessel's collision with the iceberg, he assembled the remaining crowds on the aft deck.
Those who lived through the disaster recalled him standing bravely amid the panic, listening to confessions, granting collective absolution, and reciting the Rosary right up until the ocean claimed the stern.
This is the type of story we should elevate, heroic virtue. May the Lord bless us with more holy men possessing the courage of Father Thomas Byles.
“He who loves Christ is bound to imitate Him to the best of his ability. Christ, for example, was always conferring blessings on people; He was long-suffering when they were ungrateful and blasphemed Him; and when they beat Him and put Him to death, He endured it, imputing no evil at all to anyone. These are the three acts which manifest love for one’s neighbor.”

🦔A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks.
The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people.
ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher.
My Take
The researcher made the papers as obviously fake as possible on purpose. The AI systems didn't catch it. Neither did the human researchers who cited it in real journals, which means people are feeding AI-generated references into their work without reading what they're actually citing.
I've covered the FDA using AI for drug review, the NYC hospital CEO ready to replace radiologists, and ChatGPT Health launching this year. All of that is happening in the same environment where a condition funded by a Simpsons character and endorsed by the crew of the Enterprise was being presented as emerging medical consensus. The people making these deployment decisions seem to believe the pipeline from research to AI to patient is more supervised than it actually is. This experiment suggests it isn't supervised much at all.

There is nothing that the demons can do to a creature of God when we ourselves don't hand over rights to them. They only make noise, they have no authority over people.
