Friendly reminder that the U.S is, at least, complicit in the genocide of the Palestinians.

• Drink where the horse drinks: The horse never drinks bad water. • Fit the bed where the cat sneaks in. • Eat fruit touched by the worm. • Feel free to pick the mushrooms the fly is on. • Plant a tree where the mole digs. • Build the house where the snake heats. • Dig a well where birds nest when it’s hot. • Get up and lie down with the hens – you’ll have the golden grain of the day. • Eat more green, and you will have strong legs and a strong heart, like a beast. • Swim more often, and you’ll feel like a fish in the water. • Look to the sky more often than under your feet – and your thoughts will be clear and light. • Be more silent than talkative – Silence will settle in your Spirit, and your Spirit will be peaceful. • Remove sin and disease will be removed because they are given to us because of sins. • Who overcomes illness with patience and gratitude? By doing so, she changes place with a feat or even more. • On bread and water, no one has complained yet. • One can take communion on earth and remain as without communion in Heaven. • Buy a broom to sweep the cell more often because as your cell is cleansed, so will your soul be cleansed. • There is no worse sin, and there is nothing more terrible and more pernicious than the spirit of sadness. • One should move away from the sorrow and make sure that one has a joyful spirit, not a sad one. • From joy, one can do whatever one wants to do, from inner tension nothing. • True faith can not be without good deeds: whoever truly believes surely does good deeds • .If a man knew what the Lord had prepared for him in the Kingdom of Heaven, he would be ready to spend his whole life in a worm pit. • More fasting and prayer is obedience. It is effort. • Peace can subjugate the whole world. • The abbot (and even more the bishop) should have not only a paternal but also a maternal heart. • The world lies in evil. We need to know it, remember it, and go beyond away from it as far as possible. • Thousands of people live with you in the world, but reveal your secret to one in thousands. • If the family is destroyed, then the country will collapse, and the people will be perverted. As an iron is to smith, so did I surrender myself and my will to the Lord God: as it pleases him; I do not have my will, and what pleases God, I also convey. St. Seraphim of Sarov.

As to the fatalism of those who believe that man must be a slave to the “spirit of the age,” it is disproved by the experience of every Christian worthy of the name, for the Christian life is nothing if it is not a struggle against the spirit of every age for the sake of eternity. Man’s freedom has been given him to choose between the true God and himself, between the true path to deification whereon the self is humbled and crucified in this life to be resurrected and exalted in God and eternity, and the false path of self-deification which promises exaltation in this life but ends in the Abyss. These are the only two choices, ultimately, open to the freedom of man; and upon them have been founded the two Kingdoms, the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Man, which may be discriminated only by the eye of faith in this life, but which shall be separated in the future life as Heaven and Hell. It is clear to which of them modern civilization belongs…The old commandment of “Thou shalt,” says [Nietzsche’s] Zarathustra, has become outmoded; the new commandment is “I will.” In the Christian life, the old self with its constant “I will” must be done away with and a new self, centered in Christ and His will, be born. Christian compromise in thought and word and negligence in deed have opened the way to the triumph of the forces of the absurd, of Satan, of Antichrist. The present age of absurdity is the just reward of Christians who have failed to be Christians. It is futile, in fact it is precisely absurd, to speak of reforming society, of changing the path of history, of emerging into an age beyond absurdity, if we have not Christ in our hearts; and if we do have Christ in our hearts, nothing else matters. ☦️Fr Seraphim Rose

Hypocrisy is the mother of lying, and often its occasion. For some define hypocrisy as none other than meditation on falsehood, and an inventor of falsehood which has a reprehensible oath intertwined with it. ☦️St. John Climacus

"This is only the beginning of sorrows. A fierce war will come, and after the war there must be thirty years of peace, after which the Antichrist will be crowned. But the war has already begun. We are already in a climate and biotronic war. Don’t you see how they can now cause earthquakes, floods, droughts, and fires? But the Good God will protect His chosen ones. Their intention is to incite conflict between nations, so that—God forbid—a world war may erupt, aiming to destroy the majority of mankind. What is interesting is that those who take part in this machinery of destruction never stop to ask themselves: how long will they actually live, if they destroy everything around them just to live as a single “chosen” nation? How far will they go, and how long do they think they will survive? For the pit you dig for another, you will fall into yourself." Elder Justin Parvu (From the Volumes “Father Justin Speaks to Us”)
