A prayer in times of civil strife ☦️: O Lord, we have provoked thy just judgement and have angered thy goodness; but in thy love for mankind, spare thy sinful people and abandon us not to destruction. Turn away thy wrath and drive away the strife and bloodshed that hath risen up against us. Raise our life from corruption and scatter our enemies; hear us in the day of our affliction, save us from our distress and bring us out of darkness and the shadows of death, for thou art the King of peace and Saviour of our souls, and thine is the glory to the ages of ages. Amen.

St. Luke of Crimea pray to God for us! youtu.be/YV5mFvbJoVk?is=_G2F…

Mormons do not worship or pray to Jesus yet demand to be called Christians.

Considering it was never helpful in the first place, that's not saying much

Absolute legendary run!

The world does not need more Christians who merely talk about Christ. It needs Christians through whom Christ can be seen.

This is the most recent news on Hannah from her mom. 💥💥💥Hannah Update 6/2/26💥💥💥 Hannah is finally out of her third surgery, which began around 9am and lasted until after 6pm. The orthopedic surgeon, Dr Canfield, came out and spoke with us for quite awhile. He patiently explained all the details of how the day went. He began with the reconstruction of her pelvis, which took the majority of the time. He placed screws, plates and one long metal bar across the front of her pelvis. He explained the logistics of why he repaired each break the way that he did and was as clear as he could be, considering that we are not doctors. The metal bar, being the most invasive piece of equipment, can come out in 6 months after the bones have fully and securely healed. After the pelvic repair, he worked on her bilateral arm fracture, which he said was severe and required several plates and screws. Finally, he repaired the fractures in both of her ankles and her tibia. He said that all the breaks that require surgery are now fixed, other than the bones in her face, which will require surgical repair, probably later this week. We were finally able to go in to see her around 7pm, and she was awake, squeezing our hands, making eye contact, and responding to our questions by squeezing our hands yes or no. She was definitely more aware, more wanting to interact with us than we have seen her since the accident…and painfully, more emotional and frightened. We worked very hard to be reassuring, telling her that she was doing great, that she was already beginning to heal, and she shook her head no, and seemed to have a lot of fear😰 . Her emotions are running high, she is scared and in great physical pain. We told her that she has an absolute army praying for her…and this made her extremely emotional. The ventilator is also beginning to cause her distress, and she was coughing some tonight. She is not yet at a point where they can discuss removing it…so please pray she can endure the discomfort of the vent for as long as it is needed to keep her safe. We cannot tell you how grateful we are for all of you, your prayers, your support, food delivered to the ICU waiting room, friends paying for our first week at a nearby hotel…and your great love for our precious girl and for our family. I hope that knowing how many people truly love her will give Hannah incredible strength and comfort in the difficult days she has ahead of her. We are eternally grateful to God for sparing her life on Saturday night, and we ask you to join us in prayer that He will continue to preserve her life and body until this danger has passed and her body can fully and miraculously heal. Please continue to pray and donate if God allows!

Glory to God for all things!

St Benedict of Nursia, pray to God for us!

St George spotted

Protestants have no ears to hear because they were burned and conditioned by papism. Now they “blow on the yogurt” of Orthodoxy! They also cannot hear because the basic meaning of terms is off : Salvation, faith, grace, church, etc. The meaning of these basic terms were shaped within the church by the apostles and church fathers but Protestants have been twice or thrice removed from this context from the beginning and thus they really preach another Gospel. That today so many sincere inquirers are driven dizzy and into indifference when they try to make sense of basic concepts surrounding the Faith and Life, the Way and Truth of the Lord, is both a tragedy and indicative of the stage we find ourselves in the unfolding of salvation history. We must follow closely the Holy Fathers — from the disciples of the Disciples until today, the contemporary saints and then we come into the meaning of things, in the life of the Church which is the “same yesterday, today and forever.”

Son (1.5) is now climbing out of the crib on the lowest setting

While driving south with copies of his book, Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future, (which critiqued modern spiritual deceptions), Saint Seraphim of Platina stopped partway up Mount Shasta—at a site known for neo-pagan festivals—and sang Paschal chants celebrating Christ’s Resurrection and victory over Satan and death. A recurring thought came to him: that an Orthodox priest should bless the mountain with holy water. After his ordination to the priesthood in 1977, he returned. He sang services (including the Typica), sprinkled holy water at multiple spots on the mountain, and effectively reclaimed it for Christ in a form of spiritual warfare against its reputation as a hub for neo-paganism, shamanism, UFO lore, and other occult/New Age activity.

You have no idea how late it is. Hasten, therefore.

Orthodox friends! We're looking to buy new gospel books for use in the altar, the big ornate ones with lectionaries. The current one we have is bilingual, but we want to get an English only one, does anyone know where we could purchase one? Unfortunately most places are sold out.

It's later than you think. Hasten.
