Bishop Stefan speaks powerfully.

In this day and age, when we might have the RFID device implanted into us if we wish to eat, it is important not to give into the political powers that want us chipped with the mark of the Antichrist.

God will provide.

This reminds me of an American Christian in the former Soviet Union who was imprisoned and put on a starvation diet. He put his life in the Lord's hands, went into a coma apparently, did not eat, but miraculously survived. Some communist guards became Christians after tending to him. His mere presence was a danger to the godless communists, so he was finally released into U.S. custody and was granted freedom.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

As for my mother's repose, thank you, it is a very hard time for us, but God is helping us very much. Please keep me in your holy prayers.

I do not think that any True Orthodox jurisdiction will ordain a divorced man, unless he was divorced before his baptism.

Someones did, sadly, even in the old ROCOR :(

Very sad. May God help and have mercy that the unworthy might be made worthy to the salvation of us all and to the glory of God and his holy kingdom.
