“It is possible in the Orthodox Church for there to be translations of the New Testament with mistakes, but they do not cause problems, because there is life, the Divine Eucharist [& grace]. Among the Protestants... one translation error alters their whole mentality.”-St Sophrony

"iconographer portrays the person, not the nature, which is why he writes the saint's name. An icon without a name says nothing; it's not an icon.... an icon of the crucified Christ without Christ's name, or ... o Ōn (He Who Is) in the halo, isn't an icon of the crucified Christ"

"The path on which it is easiest for us to be saved is that of love and humility; it is for these that we will be judged. These two virtues move God to pity, and raise His creature to Heaven."-St. Paisios of Mount Athos, Πάθη και Αρετές (Passions and Virtues), p. 210 (in Greek).

I will be taking a hiatus off of Twitter for a long while because I will soon be going on a pilgrimage. Please pray that I will have safe travels and that the Lord will teach or give me something out of this.

This explanation of aerial toll-houses by St Sophrony of Essex is the best I've seen concerning getting straight to "the point" of the Church's teaching.
