“Truly, the Divine Liturgy and the prayer rope extract people from hell and place them in paradise!”- The Jesus Prayer: For Those Living in the World by Fr Stephanos Anagnostopoulos

New St Moses icon for the parish.

Scenes from the monastery.

TX folks- come celebrate with us! (Non TX folks welcome too)

Talking to a son about 9/11 and the St Nicholas National Shrine, realizing I had pictures that I could show him of the iconography studio at Xenophontos where Fr Loukas painted the icons for the church, only to realize I had pictures of the icons themselves while they were a WIP.

Deaconate is not a word. Diaconate is though. The more you know.

Lattice-maxxing.

Saw someone say that Orthodox have chosen mammon over God, and here I am, twiddling my thumbs, waiting for my mammon check to arrive in the mail. 🙇🏻‍♂️

The dude’s onto something 🕵🏻‍♂️

TL cleanse. Happy feast!

People need to stop trying disguise stupid takes by calling them “hot takes.”

Texas peeps take note. Especially those having difficulty conceiving.

If anyone has or knows someone who has a few million dollars, let me know. Land is expensive.

Today is the 31st anniversary of the repose of the ever-memorable Gerondissa Makrina of Volos. The collection of her homilies to her nuns should be required reading for everyone. I can’t recommend them enough. 👇

It’s called “Kneeling Vespers,” not “Prostrate Vespers,” ya lazies.

I guess I’m getting to the age where I start waking up before my alarm. 👴🏼 @Orthodixie knows what I’m talking about. He’s been that age for a LONG time.

The poor priest doesn’t get any artoklasia… 🫤 Anyways, happy feast!

This is the only May Day I recognize. CR/XA/XB. Happy feast!

CR/ΧΑ/ХB 2 things: 1. Yesterday was the 17th anniversary of my reception into the church. Quite the larp, I’d say. 2. I got sad at the beginning of vespers yesterday thinking about how Lent, Holy Week, and Bright Week were over. There’s always next year, I guess…God-willing.

Christ is risen! Highback maxxing for Pascha.
