Dostoevsky says the soul is healed by being with children, because we experience what we were and what we ought to be now. For children everyone is their friend, and no one is their enemy. Meanwhile we are stuck in the opposite. We must become like children again through Christ.

Rather quietly, Eastern Orthodoxy in Africa is slowly growing especially in Uganda. Definitive numbers are difficult to measure, but it is estimated that Africa is rivaling America in number of total converts.

Kovilje Monastery, Abbot Ambrose. “I am not a saint, nor wonder-worker, the whole story was understood incorrectly. I am not domesticating the animals, rather they accepted me & I, while befriending them, found answers. Some things I can’t explain, they can’t be put into words.”

The art of spiritual warfare says St. Porphyrios; is less about waging war with demons. It’s about being indifferent to them. This can only be done through divine grace by approaching Christ. When temptations come, instead of turning to fight the demons, simply turn to Christ.

Beauty transcends aesthetics, it is not just being outwardly beautiful. For Fyodor Dostoevsky & Orthodox Christianity, beauty is Truth. And Truth is a Person. Beauty will save the world means Christ will save the world. Because Christ is the true embodiment of beauty.

If you wanna be truly Catholic or Orthodox, most of you shouldn’t be studying Scripture or theology. According to traditional Catholicism/Orthodoxy, that’s for clergy. The idea of laymen studying the Bible and tradition is a PROTESTANT idea

Holy Orthodoxy is growing rapidly since 2020, part of the influx I believe can be attributed to a crisis of meaning; and the Orthodox Church having the answer to the meaning of our lives; communion with God.

If your entire goal of interest in Orthodoxy is just because it’s based, traditional, and is a haven from leftists you’re coming for the wrong reasons. Orthodoxy is Christ. Leave the dialectical baggage at the door, the entire point of your interest should be communion with God.
