The time is coming when people will be insane, and when they see someone who is not insane, they will attack that person saying: You are insane because you are not like us.
☦️Saint Anthony the Great
Friendly PSA: The idea for “international women’s day” came from Clara Zetkin, a Marxist theorist and communist. Her funeral was attended by Stalin and Lenin’s widow. She was an ardent supporter for the “right” to abortion (infanticide). It doesn’t get much more anti-female than that! Nevertheless, the world today celebrates this day today. Our Geronta Ephraim explains it best:
In our days there is much talk concerning the equality of men and women. However, the struggles for this equality and the so-called feminist movement have appeared quite late. For twenty centuries now, Christianity has resolved the problem. How? It abolished discrimination. It honored the female gender with value equal to that of a man. Furthermore, it honored a particular woman with a claim that no man had, has, or ever will have. This woman is the Most-Holy Theotokos. Christianity, and the church, does not use gender, social status, education, material wealth, or intelligence as criteria to rate and assess people. It grades and evaluates them using a single criteria: holiness. In the eyes of God there is no male and female. There are only people who are sinful and repented, impious and pious, holy and holier.
In order for the soul to be cleansed from within, man must suffer.
☦️Papa Stephanos Anagnostopoulos
A prayer from the heart has more power than a thousand words, especially for someone who won’t listen.
☦️Saint Paisios
The Orthodox Church did not come to travel and journey along with the other religions or to coexist peacefully with them, and to learn to get along. It came to dissolve the false faiths once and for all.
☦️Elder Athanasios Mitilinaios
“Theologian” & CIA asset Jordan Peterson wearing an Eastern Orthodox Christian schemamonk jacket — blasphemy and irreverence at its finest 🤡
Orthodoxy isn’t a brand, it’s a way of life! Christ isn’t a logo, He is THE LOGOS!
“You see people abusing and reviling holy and sacred things and others not saying anything. Being meek on such an occasion is demonic.”

Christ was born of a human being, Panagia! Are we supposed to believe that His ancestors were monkeys? What blasphemy! And those who support this theory don’t realise that they are blaspheming.
☦️Saint Paisios
Whoever prays is enlightened, and whoever does not pray is darkened. Prayer is the provider of divine light. This is why everyone who prays well becomes all-radiant, and the Spirit of God dwells in him.
☦️Elder Ephraim of Arizona
They are warning us that the flu is coming. How do they know this? It is because they themselves will manufacture it and release it. The world will feel the need to receive the anti-flu shot, yet this vaccine will contain a cruel illness in and of itself and will not contain anything that will prevent people from contracting the virus. It is highly recommended not to proceed with any vaccination.
☦️Elder Savvas Achilleos

One can be an atheist only until their death. After it, everyone will become believers. However, the choice of what will be after death must be made now and as soon as possible.
☦️Saint John Maximovitch
Fr. Seraphim Rose asked St. John Maximovitch a question he had been pondering: “Nearly all the peoples of the earth have had the Gospel preached to them. Does this mean that it’s the end of the world, as the Scriptures say?”
“No,” replied St. John. “The Gospel of Christ must be preached in all tongues throughout the world in an Orthodox context. Only then will the end come.”

“You must have a clear view as to the heresy of Ecumenism. You need to take a responsible stance. It is the heresy of the end times...”
☦️Elder Athanasios Mitilinaios
“Ecumenism is a super heresy.”
☦️Saint Gabriel of Georgia 🇬🇪
The moment you say, "All Saints, pray to God for me!" all the Saints in Heaven will exclaim, "Lord, have mercy!" — and so it will be your gain.

“Pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from their sins.”
☦️2 Maccabees 12:46
“Memorials serve as the best attorney on behalf of the souls of those fallen asleep. They even have the power to bring a soul out of hell.”
☦️Saint Paisios of Mount Athos
“Protestants generally find the Church's prayer for the dead to be somehow incompatible with the necessity of finding salvation first of all in this life: "If you can be saved by the Church after death, then why bother to struggle or find faith in this Life? Let us eat, drink, and be merry”
— Of course, no one holding such a philosophy has ever attained salvation by the Church's prayer, and it is evident that such an argument is quite artificial and even hypocritical. The Church's prayer cannot save anyone who does not wish salvation, or who never offered any struggle for it himself during his lifetime. In a sense, one might say that the prayer of the Church or of individual Christians for a dead person is but another result of that person's life: he would not be prayed for unless he had done something during his lifetime to inspire such prayer after his death.”
☦️Father Seraphim Rose
“The Orthodox Church is not a denomination, we are pre-denominational. “Denominations” is a heretical concept. It’s based on the modern heresy known as “Branch Theory.” Eastern Orthodox are the only Christians. The others that purportedly follow “Christ” outside of Orthodoxy are heterodox. Remember, there isn’t a single Church outside the Orthodox Church. They are all heretics and schismatics without grace. They cannot be called Churches until they repent of their errors in humility and change their ways.”
☦️Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol
"Christ is here, in our Orthodox Church, and he is not in any other church. Do not search for Him elsewhere, for you will not find Him. Therefore, if someone from a non-Orthodox assemblage comes to you and begins to suggest that they have Christ — do not believe it.”
☦️Saint Theophan the Recluse
“And others speak with a false kindness, saying: “We mustn’t expose heretics and their delusions, so as to show our love for them.” Today’s people are water-soluble. There’s no leaven in them. But they’re not Christian. They’re simply indifferent. And their joy is only a worldly joy.”
☦️Saint Paisios
A friendly PSA to our fellow Greek Orthodox CHRISTIAN brothers & sisters in Christ: The “marti bracelet” is an ancient Greek PAGAN custom that is worn at the beginning of spring. Its name is derived from the Greek word for the month of March, which is Μάρτιος (Martios). This is a strictly pagan tradition (that resembles the Luciferian-Kabbalah bracelet) & superstition that has no basis in Orthodoxy. The pre-Christian Greeks believed that if you wore a marti bracelet, that it would protect you from the sun this time of year. Pagan traditions such as this and the so called “mati” need to be fully abandoned. All we need is the cross of Christ! As Christ Himself explained, we can’t serve two masters.
“Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill (adjacent to the Acropolis and Parthenon), and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.”
☦️Acts 17:22-23
Christians [referring to Orthodox Christians, of course] are the guardians, protectors, rulers, and teachers of the city; and let the reprobates and libertines learn the same thing, that they should be afraid of God's servants, and that if they want to say anything blasphemous or mocking, they look around and fear even the shadows, fearing that a Christian might overhear.
☦️Saint John Chrysostomos
Today we commemorate the memory of a very special Saint, Papa Nicholas of Athens! May we have his prayers and intercessions!
“Whatever has been done uncanonically cannot stand — it will fall.”

"I saw all the snares of the devil spread out upon the earth, and I groaned and said, 'Who can pass by these?’ And I heard a voice saying to me, 'Humility.'”
☦️Saint Anthony the Great
“Humility is the only thing that no devil can imitate.”
☦️Saint John Climacus
“Love humility. It will cover all your sins.”
☦️Saint Anthony the Great
“What salt is for any food, humility is for every virtue. To acquire it, a man must always think of himself with contrition, self-belittlement and painful self-judgment. But if we acquire it, it will make us sons of God.”
☦️Saint Isaac the Syrian
Worldly people say, 'How lucky are the wealthy that live in big and luxurious mansions and have all the comforts and conveniences!’ Blessed, rather, are those who have succeeded in simplifying their lives and freeing themselves from the noose of worldly progress, from the many comforts that cause much discomfort and have rid themselves of the dreadful anxiety of today's times. If we refuse to simplify our lives, we will suffer. If we live simply, all our anxiety will go away.
☦️Saint Paisios

Pray that God brings forth spiritual people, Maccabees, because it is a matter of urgency. The time has come for good to battle evil, because lawlessness has been made into law and sin into fashion. But even when you see calamities in Greece, WHEN YOU SEE THE STATE LEGISLATING NONSENSICAL LAWS, and that a general instability is present, do not be fearful; God will help.

It would be insane for a man to claim that the sun does not exist, only because he does not see it from within his tightly closed and shuttered dwelling. Pitiable is the blind man who keeps telling everyone that there is no such thing as light, only because he does not see it! It would look very foolish for a man to insist that spring has not come, only because no warmth has penetrated into his locked cellar! We praise the gentle light, the holy glory of the immortal Heavenly Father — the Resurrected Lord, crying out to Him from the depth of our souls, MEET IT IS FOR THEE AT ALL TIMES TO BE HYMNED! Then the light of Christ that enlightens all will enlighten even us, and we shall behold Christ the Sun of Righteousness, Who shines upon all life!
☦️Saint John Maximovich
They make it resoundingly clear what master they serve 😞
“We have our own methods of fighting evil: prayer, repentance, patience. This is humility before each other and before God. This is a powerful weapon that destroys evil. I would like to appeal to all Orthodox people who believe in our Church: Do not be afraid of anything. Be firm in your love for God. Keep the purity of the Holy Orthodox Faith, which is the path leading a person to God. Love each other, endure each other, help each other. Evil will disappear while good will last forever. If we endure everything, live in love for all and towards each other, then no evil can defeat us. God is the God of might. Evil has no power. As long as we are with God, we will be joyful, happy and blessed.”
☦️Metropolitan Onufriy of Kiev
