Prior to becoming Orthodox, my friend's cat was mostly indifferent to me. I love animals and really wanted the cat to like me but she just kept to herself. After I was baptized into The Church, this cat comes out to greet me when I go to my friend's home. My friend has also become Orthodox and she has noticed her cat's preference for other Orthodox people who come to her home.
this was so good, today I had the unlikely encounter with a stray kitten who had accidentally gotten a tiny plastic bag stuck on its head, thankfully it calmed down for just long enough for me to take the bag off its head, it wasn’t a thorn in a lions foot, but I feel a distant connection between the two events, we too get to participate in the very same world as the saints of old, thank you for sharing, I had never before heard of this one, I think i’d very much like to visit that monastery some day
In The Silver Chair Aslan the lion has another character drive a thorn into his paw purposefully, and the blood that is shed brings a dead man back to life. I'm sure C.S. Lewis meant this as a reference back to this story.
Too beautiful ❣️ imagining what life must have been like between Adam and Eve and the animals in the Garden before the slithering 🐍 came to ruin it all😭😭😭 Deliver us o LORD from the evil one🙏💙🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️
Lovely story, thank you for sharing it! 🙏 It’s worth to contemplate how our style of living and diet affects animals. What we can change and what to let go to hurt them less and prevent unnecessary suffering ❤
What a delightful story! I would definitely be keen on more content about our non-human creature friends and I'm especially fond of donkeys, so thank you.

I am an ex-atheist who has very little knowledge of Christianity. I am studying the Bible now and want to convert to Orthodoxy. Please pray for my faith, I do not have the support of anyone in my personal life and the nearest church is quite far

I absolutely adore Saint Gerasimus...
How neat! I feel like my children would love to hear this. Anything with an animal theme :)
My dad and I were talking about him just yesterday
Now that I know that Lion and I share the same name I now need to get myself an icon of St Gerasimos and Jordan.
Sounds a good idea!
Was lucky enough to visit his monestary a year ago on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. St. Gerasimos pray for us 🙏☦
Amen

the Tiny Lions are also given into our care 😊

It's a reference to Christ's crucifixion. Aslan is a type of Christ.
Amazing story! Thank you, brother, for reminding me through your message to check out this video.
4th of march is my birthday! I will try to remember saint Gerasimos next year!
i readf about him yesterday in the Prologue Of Ohrid he is a wonderful saint
The story of St Kevin of Glendalough is a good one as well. Thanks for this channel!!!
