The goal is to rise spiritually, not simply to avoid sin. ☦️Saint Paisios of Mount Athos In the last times, the supporters of the Antichrist will go to church, will cross themselves, and will preach the gospel commandments. But do not believe those who have no good deeds. Only by deeds can you recognize a true Christian. ☦️St. Gabriel the Fool

The Holy Spirit is the inspiration behind BOTH Holy Scripture and His Church. Both are infallible. John 21:25 KJV — And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. Acts 15:28 KJV — For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; (The Jerusalem council is the first Church council) 1 Timothy 3:15 KJV — But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 KJV — Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 2 Timothy 2:2 KJV — And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 1 Corinthians 11:2 KJV — Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances Traditions), as I delivered them to you. 2 Peter 1:19-21 KJV — We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

You can go to San Francisco and visit his incorrupt relics ☦️ Saint John, Wonderworker of Shanghai and San Francisco Born in 1896 in Russia, Saint John Maximovitch was baptized under the patronage of Archangel Michael. A deeply pious child, he influenced his Catholic teacher to become Orthodox. At 11 he went to military school. He was arrested by the Bolsheviks twice before his family fled to Belgrade where he entered seminary. He was tonsured a monk, then ordained deacon, then priest, and taught at a school where he was greatly loved by his students. He led a life of simplicity and asceticism and never slept lying down. Elected bishop and sent to Shanghai, he helped build churches and hospitals and started an orphanage that grew to 3,500 children. When the communists took over China, he helped thousands escape. He served in France for a decade before being sent to San Francisco, where he came under grievous persecution. He reposed in Seattle in 1966. Countless miracles are attributed to Saint John and his body was found to be incorrupt when he was glorified in 1994.
