My thoughts on abortion are summed up in the icon “St Rachel weeping for the infants.”
On the off chance someone is considering it and reading this, don’t do it. That baby loves you
I'm in Belgrade at the St. Sava Cathedral and the most precious relic of the Mother of God - Her Belt - is visiting from the Holy Monastery of Vatopedi on Mt Athos. It hasn't been here for 600 years. This is day 12 and each day people in the tens of thousands line up for miles (literally) and wait 10 hrs in the sun to be able to venerate it - kids, parents, grandparents - extremely moving to see such devotion. What would an American spend 10hrs standing to see? Rock concerts? A NBA finals game? It is incredible.
“Speechless be the lips of impious ones,
Those who do not reverence
Your great icon, the sacred one
Which is called Directress,
And was depicted for us
By one of the apostles,
Luke the Evangelist.”
MOST HOLY THEOTOKOS SAVE US!
And JESUS LOVED / LOVES MARY…
She is not “just another woman” — a view NO ONE ever held … until Protestants in the past 2 centuries.
And so… if you do not honor her… you do not obey Christ.
ALL CHRISTIANS FOR 2000 years loved and honored Mary as the UNTRODDEN PORTAL and UNCUT MOUNTAIN …
So, so, sad that you care so little not only for the LORD’S OWN MOTHER (!!) but for so many holy ones before us who honored and loved HER…
Who are you, sir, to be so proud and disdainful of so great a cloud of witnesses??
Do you not at least understand that you will have NO PLACE among them in heaven if you do not follow them and imitate them???
God gave this earth one of the most delectable, absolutely perfect, healthiest, tangiest, sweetest, natural sugar-bomb fruits of all time in the pineapple
To degrade it like this with this shitty viral "recipe" is SICKENINGLY DEEP GLUTTONOUS SIN. Nothing else.
One thing I was not prepared for regarding motherhood is how many people, close friends, family, and total strangers, would talk to me with such total contempt and rudeness about my family and being a SAHM
Pray for Christine who was chrismated into the Greek Orthodox Church in November 2025, who has apostasized from the faith in less than 6 months since her chrismation.
RT this if possible to get more prayers out.
Lord have mercy!
Protestants aren’t Christian, period.
You can’t take a liturgical book, stripped down to the NT and then form your own style papacy.
It’s so far disconnected from sacraments and anything remotely Christian in origin.
They are not and will never be Christians.
☦️The Serbian Orthodox Church announces that from Ascension Day until last night, 478,000 faithful venerated the Belt of the Most Holy Theotokos (Virgin Mary) at the Temple of Saint Sava in Belgrade.
One of Christianity’s most revered relics has attracted hundreds of thousands of pilgrims, making this one of the largest religious gatherings in Serbia in recent years.
🥀 Protestants refuse to pray for the dead because their church dies at the grave.
☦️ Orthodoxy prays because the Body of Christ is not amputated by death.
