I have a public confession
I'm struggling against the loss of my wife and family to an unwanted divorce. A family was always my deepest desire, and that was taken away from me
Please pray for me. I am my own greatest struggle. To marry again or not, such is a great sacrifice

To my OrthoFam:
Please pray for Zachariah (right). I didn't know him very well, but I have received word that he committed suicide yesterday, in the wake of his mother's death.
Please pray for his soul, and may God have mercy on him.

Brothers and sisters in Christ
Forgive my silence this last week. My wife has left me, apostasized, and abandoned the Church. I have been cut off from my step daughter
It has been a rough week
I plan to write a blog post explaining everything soon
Please pray for me

Please pray for our Swedish clergy. They are being attacked openly, have been banned for renting meeting places for services, and will soon be excluded from the Swedish National Council of Churches, and are being shunned and stigmatized. Cancel culture is real.

103 years ago today, the last Tsar of Russia was received into Heaven along with his family, after being martyred by the Bolsheviks. This began the bloodiest period in Christian history: The Atheist-Communist Soviet Union

I need my Church family now more than ever
Pray for me, that I might endure the coming days
My Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner.

We should all pray for Ukraine and Russia, and a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine
But I have a question...
Where were the calls to prayer for the Russian people being killed in the Donbass region over the last 8 years?
Just curious

When one studies history, both of the Church and the pseudo-church or the heterodox milieu known as Protestantism, you will see just how far the milieu has fallen even from their own teachings, let alone those of the apostolic age.

Pride month? No thanks.
Pride is a sin and folly
Pride comes before the fall
It was pride that condemned humanity
Only humility can undo it all.

Democracy has no place within the Orthodox faith. It is a kingdom. We have a King. Tradition demands we follow our King, and live accordingly. We have little say in Truth, and how it is incarnated into the world.

Ukrainian soldiers burning icons & service books from a local church. A blasphemous icon of a satanic St. George slaying not a dragon (the symbol of the devil), but the two-headed eagle (the symbol of the Christian emperors and the Orthodox Church) with Nazi symbols in the back.

“Also henceforth I am he.” Isaiah 43:13
Why do some Protestant churches have to be so horribly cringe at what they do? They can't even be called Christian any more at this point, can they? They obviously worship a different god.

Please pray for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The monastic community of the Kiev Caves are to be evicted by the Ukrainian government today
The previous relics of many Saints housed in this holy place have been categorized as mere “ museum exhibitions.”

I am very heartbroken. Today at 2pm EST, his Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion, First Hierarch of ROCOR, my Bishop and a man whom I loved dearly as a spiritual father, has reposed in the Lord.
May his memory be ever eternal.

Please pray for Metropolitan Kallistos Ware as he moves towards the end of his life
"He has received anointing and the Holy Mysteries. He is quite calm and repeatedly gives glory to God for all things."
May the Lord receive him into eternal rest.

Consider that Christ fed thousands, but far fewer followed; He had 12 disciples, but only three followed Him into the Garden, or witnessed the Transfiguration; and John out of these alone stood with him as he died upon the cross. Fewer stand with you the closer you get to Christ.

9 AM is super early for Matins?
10 AM is super early for Divine Liturgy?
Heck, I am up at 6AM every day for work. I get MORE sleep on Sunday than I do the rest of the week.
Man, talk about some lazy people. If said people actually exist, do they even work?

I've been struggling with myself for months to remove the TV. It's been a giant distraction and a waste of time. I finally got the motivation to pull it out and move my prayer corner into a prayer wall. Now I just need more icons. :P

Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov and Victoria Romanovna were married today at Saint Isaac's Cathedral in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The first royal wedding in over a century in Russia.
May God bless and grant them many years!

Acts like this are what will convert the world, not social justice nonsense. "See how they love each other." Put your life on the line for someone else. Be heroic, even in the stupid mundane things. Be like Christ.

Pray for Archimandrite Laurus (Berezovsky). Two days ago he was kidnapped by Azov. Two men broke into his church, called him a "Moscow priest-saboteur" and dragged him into the forest. He is still missing. This is at least the forth kidnapping of a UOC priest in the past 10 days.

I pray for all of those trapped in the snares of lust, the thorny briars of fornication & sexual immorality. The world is adorned with the filth of adulterous imagery and life; so guide us, guard us, and protect us from its temptations that we may be freed from its evil embrace

Feminism has NO place in the Church
They've normalized homosexuality in the Churches. (see Jefferts Schori)
They've pushed for gender neutral translations.
They've normalized abortion in the Churches
They've normalized liberal sexuality (see Nadia Bolz-Weber)
Just, stop.

Today is the day, 8 years ago, that I should have died in my hospital bed. Double pneumonia and Pleurisy around the lungs leading to full respiratory failure. Last rites were performed. The Psalter was read. Then, later that night I woke up. It would be months before I was told.

I ask for your prayers for a member of my Parish. She is in the hospital with a leakage of amniotic fluid. The baby is 27 weeks old.
Please ask for the Intercession of the Theotokos, St John the Wonderworker, St. Luke of Crimea, and your own patron saint for the baby & Xenia

Oh to witness such a procession.
We would never have such as this in the United States, instead we have parades of men and women marching with indecency; some naked, others mostly so; parading sex as though it were to be celebrated.
