St. Gabriel of Imereti
At least once a day, a man should take a look in that mirror that is always invisibly with him, known as the conscience.
On the feast day of St Polycarp, the first Saturday in the Great Fast, pilgrims from the Liverpool Orthodox Student Society undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Island of Lindesfarne—one of the most important sites in the history of Orthodoxy in the British Isles in the first millennium.
Reader John (Amir) Azarvan, Ph.D.
The ideal world, according to communism, coheres well with the Christian view of the eschaton: a stateless, classless world. But communists err in thinking that man, alone, can arrive at or at least approach this end goal.
Happiness is the state of a calm, joyful, and cheerful soul, and only a man with a clear conscience can experience it.
St. John of Kronstadt
We are told: It is no big deal to eat non-Lenten food during Lent. It is no big deal if you wear expensive beautiful outfits, go to the theater, to parties, to masquerade balls, use beautiful expensive china, furniture, expensive carriages and dashing steeds, amass and hoard things, etc.
