"Man does not possess strength of his own, nor can he resist the devil by himself, nor drive away sinful thoughts from himself, nor do the will of God, nor keep His commandments, nor stand against the passions. The only thing within his power is this: to direct his free will toward God and to pray, asking Him to deliver him from Satan and from his works, and to deign—through His grace—to come and reign in his soul. Then the Lord Himself will accomplish in man’s soul His commandments and His will, and will entrust to him all the virtues of righteousness: true faith, active prayer, love with all the soul and with all one’s strength, hope, fasting, self-control, humility, meekness, long-suffering, perseverance, and the rest. Such a person cannot boast and cannot say to himself that he has ever done anything noteworthy; rather, he continually gives thanks to the Lord, because the Lord Himself accomplishes everything—provided that He is asked. For persistent prayer accomplishes great deeds, whereas carelessness—which comes to people from Satan—brings much darkness and obscurity into the soul; through it the enemy turns man away from God and enslaves his mind." Saint Macarius the Great

America, our government made all of this possible, and they are patting themselves on the back for it right now.

Miscarriage, legally and scientifically, is not an abortion. It is not restricted or prohibited by any state law. This is purposeful propaganda to get women to believe that voting for the more pro-abortion candidate will protect their miscarriage care. It will not.

Steventhen Holland was conceived through gang-r*pe of a mentally challenged and homeless young woman. Despite being repeatedly pressured to abort him, Steventhen's mother saw the value in his life.

Make it go viral! “Get here, we need you! We need people with experience in hiking. There are only a few ways to reach these people: by foot, horseback, helicopter, dirt bikes, ATVs, or side-by-sides. If you have any of these and can get to East Tennessee or Western North Carolina, we need you. Do not listen to the news when they say they don’t want or need you. I’m telling you—I’m here, I live here, and I’ve already been involved. We need you, and we want you here.”

This is a Tone 3 Prayer (Yearerday was a Tone 3 Week). Just wanted to share the beauty. I don’t know who the author is - just from Holy Tradition as far as I know:

Let those in Heaven rejoice, let those on Earth be glad; for the Lord hath wrought a mighty act with His arm. He hath trampled down death by death; He hath become the first-born of the dead. He hath delivered us from the womb of hell, and hath granted the world great mercy.
