      Thank you for your work brother, not only do the priests and their words help me through your channel, but you help me with your honesty and help me recognize that we are all in this journey together. God bless you abundantly! We are both so very fortunate to have such access to holiness! I pray every day that I don't take it for granted

    I think its important to have these discussions within our own parishes. It can sometimes be difficult for parish members to be these faithful examples because of life circumstances and just our own weaknesses.

    1. Worship
    2. Discipleship
    3. Ministry & Service
    4. Witness
    Worship is at the centre, from which everything flows in concentric circles.

    i really like the harangue contained in the letter of the Hebrews today.
    that, thanks to the wisdom contained in Humility, we know how to recognize everything that is hindering us and is a burden on our soul.
    that we know how to recognize each of the traps that the enemy places on us every day, from each small defeat we die in bigger ones, even until we reach the last one, in which we lose eternity forever away from our Savior
    that evil launches its attacks on us, including through our poor puppet brothers, is an unequivocal, and almost necessary, symptom of being well positioned towards the heart of our promised King, God Christ.
    In Faith miracles are born, and in the face of Faith we can decide to laugh disbelievingly and delusionally and that what could happen does not happen, that we improve in something or everything or in the most important thing, or, act and pray so that it can be, that is, that it is not, but that it can be
    let us sensibly understand that we do not understand everything, we are only here to decide briefly
    sometimes, we ask for the improvement of the body, which is not bad, without a doubt, or we ask for something specific to happen or not happen, but what perhaps we have to ask is to endure the cross of what happens in this test, whatever it may be. let it be
    if we know how to differentiate what is contingent and brief, from what is important and eternal, we know that improving our Happiness, the gain of Holiness accumulated in our little soul, is the only thing that should concern us, the state of our ego, of our eternal soul.
    throughout the generations, great scientific advances have been discovered, synthesized, diagnosed and treated by souls of great Faith, and perhaps, they made their effort and study an offering to God Christ.
    the improvement in how we understood the world, and how we see it now, that we have improved a little, thanks to God Christ, is, in my opinion, one of the greatest of miracles
    in every moment of our brief life, in how we treat others, and in how we treat ourselves, everything about us screams

    in my opinion, we are created in the image and likeness of God the Son, and that is how we come, we are born as Happy children
    then we make ourselves miserable in our infamous decisions

    If we are just and if we are pious, the Spirit of Holiness can be in us
    If we fast and pray night and day, the Spirit of Holiness can be in us
    It is written, to be read
    Prophets Saint Simeon and Saint Anne, Pray for us

    i suffer a lot when I think of an unbelieving soul, whose body, having died in an accident or unexpected event, wakes up in Reality.
    what fear and anguish must that poor brother have who did not believe, nor did he try to see or try to see, as I myself was six years ago...
    Seriously, in a breath we leave, sometimes even when we were sleeping, and now, we don't wake up here again...
    let us decide in the Commandments of the little children of God the Creator, so that when our body collapses, we display some Blessed dignity.
    we do not know the day or the hour, caution and good sense

    may we understand the Greatness of Holy decisions, those that improve others, and improve the decision-maker.
    may our Savior, God Christ, have more beautiful souls who love Him, may we improve, and may our Healer hear our improvement from the heart in our words.
    Mother of Good hearts, Pray for us
    Let us give thanks to the Evangelizers of the Truth in Their Justice, from their mouths Faith can be born among us

    🙏✝ GOD have mercy on us ❤🕊
    PLEASE PRAY for me 🙏
    The priest at my church is a narcissist hypocrite, more focused on social media content than worshipping
    My priest is forcing parishioners to submit to being photographed while worshipping and Cummunion
    My priest is forcing parishioners to be photographed and have our personal connection with GOD withing the House of GOD posted on social media sites without out consent
    DISTRACTIONS = Being photographed while worshipping, having a cameraman stalk us during Divine Liturgy is a DISTRACTION, a DISTRACTION my church orthodox priest will not understand,
    My priest has not shaken my hand or acknowledged me in 4 months, he ignores me, ignores me in front of others, ignores me inside church, in church hall, at funerals, everywhere, all because I complained that cameras and photography should not be distracting us during worship, therefore cameras and photography should NOT BE ALLOWED
    My priest ignores me now since I refuse to accept having my worshiping distracted by camera man, and bragging that they feeding elderly in long term care. GOD BE WITH US ☀

      @@merlinidlehands3302 I attend this parish, God is first in our lives, and within this parish. If we cant serve our parish how do we expect to serve those out in the world? I appreciate your concern, but this parish alone is having a huge growth due to its effective and honest evangelism. God bless you friend
