I want to share with you these prayers for the Lenten third hour that helps me through the day.<br /><br />Blessed art Thou, O Christ our God, Who hast shown forth the fishermen as supremely wise, by sending down upon them the Holy Spirit, and through them didst draw the world into Thy net. O Lover of mankind, glory be to Thee.<br /><br />Glory… Grant speedy and steadfast consolation unto Thy servants, O Jesus, when our spirits are become despondent. Depart not from our souls when they be in afflictions, nor be Thou afar from our minds when they be in tribulations, but do Thou ever go before us. Draw nigh unto us, draw nigh, O Thou Who art everywhere present: even as Thou wast ever with Thine apostles, so also do Thou unite Thyself to them that long for Thee, O Compassionate One, that, being one with Thee, we may praise and glorify Thine All-Holy Spirit.<br />Both now… The hope and protection and refuge of Christians, the unassailable battlement, the storm-free haven of the weary art thou, O immaculate Theotokos. But as thou art one that savest the world by thine unceasing intercession, remember us also, O all-hymned Virgin.Archimandrite Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894842027467584759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73042886598650075.post-7775140140344626302019-08-24T09:03:02.307-05:002019-08-24T09:03:02.307-05:00I am sure the Fordham group is overjoyed!I am sure the Fordham group is overjoyed!Archimandrite Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894842027467584759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73042886598650075.post-11459495345341307562019-08-24T08:46:19.957-05:002019-08-24T08:46:19.957-05:00I'm very sad to say that this does not surpris...I'm very sad to say that this does not surprise me. The head of a schismatic group is being honored for illegally seizing canonical Churches and beating clergy, women,and the elderly. A humanitarian award! This is insulting. But of course it is expected from the Archons with their history of offering the award to those who champion abortion. The difference this year, is that the EP has decided to weaponize the award. It is should be clear as day to the true autocephalous Churches that they should never recognize the so-called OCU. If the Church of Greece had been having any second thoughts, this brazen act of arrogance should clarify things for them.Mikailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06189539560391433081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73042886598650075.post-36636902678664045112019-08-23T20:12:49.338-05:002019-08-23T20:12:49.338-05:00Unimaginably horrid.

Epiphany unashamedly considers himself to be a proud follower of Bandera, and has repeatedly participated in events that seek to erase the memory of the Jews that suffered during the Nazi occupation of Ukraine. He has also repeatedly voiced his intention to erase the ethnic heritage & traditions of ethnic Russians in Ukraine. As well as directly participated in the seizure of churches from the canonical Ukranian church. This is so absurd it would almost be laughable, if not for the fact that Epiphany represents a rising current of anti-semitism and far-right nationalism in Ukraine.<br /><br />https://spzh.news/ru/news/64493-glava-chernovickoj-oga-nezakonno-perevel-jeshhe-odin-prihod-upc-v-pcuRandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06277889467316537183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73042886598650075.post-42318197526567659252019-08-23T18:36:37.262-05:002019-08-23T18:36:37.262-05:00Anything to spite the Russians and the canonical U...Anything to spite the Russians and the canonical Ukrainian ChurchSojournerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283481525249234342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73042886598650075.post-68034223482093455142019-08-23T18:23:46.961-05:002019-08-23T18:23:46.961-05:00Holy cow!
