    Being a lost sheep, wandering the desert for years and looking for my shepherd, last Sunday, I experienced the Divine Liturgy for the first time. After that, when I was at home and I was reliving it in my memory, suddenly the whole experience got transformed into its essence, I heard the choir, smelled the incense and experienced it with even more Glory. It was like the Heavens opened up and I heard the Angels sing and an overwhelming love embraced me. It was so beautiful and pure. I cried for hours, I was overcome with joy and sadness. Now the memory has faded and the intense emotions have subsided. The clarity is gone but one thing remains, I’m sure the Orthodox Church is as real as it gets and Divine Liturgy is called Divine for a reason. It took the better part of a day for that realization to sink in but when it did, it was amazing! It took a nights sleep to be able to function again. I am so grateful to God for this experience and to the parish for letting me attend. Glory to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit! Christ is Risen! ☦️🙏🏻

    My local Orthodox Church is holding lessons on their faith every second Thursday, lasting until spring, I missed the first lesson two weeks ago but I think I will go to this Thrusday's lesson. Once I have gone to enough lessons and if I feel that it is the path for me, and the Church accepts me, I will join the faith.

O Senhor disse que as portas do inferno nunca prevaleceriam contra a sua Igreja, e apesar de 2000 anos de perseguição e sofrimento, o Catolicismo cá está, forte e em crescimento, abençoado pelas Graças do Altíssimo. Seja qual for a tua decisão, que Deus te guie e guarde, mas rogo-te que te mantenhas fiel à Igreja Verdadeira e resistas a esta provação.

      It's a bit misleading to say we "became" orthodox, because for the past 2000 years we were never anything other than orthodox :) We received the Christian faith from the apostle Andrew and have remained faithful to the true Church throughout our history. The only exception being the forced conversions to Catholicism imposed by the Austro-Hungarian empire on the Romanians in Transylvania during the middle ages.

    I am Orthodox so I get to say this. I love that this video in entitled "A Brief Description" and it is nearly 14 minutes long, rather than 2 or 3. That is soooo Orthodox. For instance, during our evening service called Great Vespers, the priest at one point says, "Let us complete our evening prayer to the Lord". One might think the service is almost over...nope, at least 20 more minutes. It has been said, if the Orthodox think something is worth doing, we will find a way to make it take longer. But why not?! We want as much of God as we can get!!

      Faith is one, my dear and true, and one Church and one Baptism. The Great Holy Apostle Paul says it very simply, chapter 4 to the Ephesians = One Lord, one Faith and one Baptism.
      The poor man confused them all to the devil's gain, unfortunately.
      Whoever does not have the Faith in his heart, will accept the Sign of the Beast 666 ,,. Quickly search the Orthodox Church, Greek, Russian, Yugoslav, Romanian, Georgian, Bulgarian and Ukrainian, Eritrean and Ethiopian, there is no time to lose.
      In these Orthodox churches, the same Gospel, Apostle and Creed of the Faith are read on the same day.
      You see how beautiful God places them.
      This was the case throughout Europe, until the Vatican broke away from Byzantium in 1054, taking the first wrong step, unfortunately for humanity and souls.

      Faith is one, my dear and true, and one Church and one Baptism. The Great Holy Apostle Paul says it very simply, chapter 4 to the Ephesians = One Lord, one Faith and one Baptism.
      The poor man confused them all to the devil's gain, unfortunately.
      Whoever does not have the Faith in his heart, will accept the Sign of the Beast 666 ,,. Quickly search the Orthodox Church, Greek, Russian, Yugoslav, Romanian, Georgian, Bulgarian and Ukrainian, Eritrean and Ethiopian, there is no time to lose.
      In these Orthodox churches, the same Gospel, Apostle and Creed of the Faith are read on the same day.
      You see how beautiful God places them.
      This was the case throughout Europe, until the Vatican broke away from Byzantium in 1054, taking the first wrong step, unfortunately for humanity and souls.

      The word 'love' is empty of itself, and it aught to be filled with what is removed from our ego.
      This is why we fast and pray.
      Without the self-sacrificiality (if that may be a word for now) our definition of love can easily slide into what it exactly is not.
      But this form of love is what the Lord Christ showed us, not only on the cross, but also in the desert and in the hades.
