If we are to live the Christian life with integrity, we too must have the courage to relate to others with true compassion as they suffer, mourn, and live with pain and disorder of whatever kind.
Natalia Goroshkova, Archimandrite Markell (Pavuk)
Laziness almost never visits that house where there are many children. There each member of the family always has many responsibilities with no time to relax. Cooking, laundry, cleaning, work in the garden, and so on—almost every member of the family is constantly busy with these things, except for the very youngest, and no one can refuse these responsibilities. But in small families, where there is one child, or none, it’s hard to avoid being lazy.

I cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that our government continues, with our tax-payer dollars, to fund and arm those who are raping, murdering, and displacing Christians (who represent about ten percent of the overall population) and other religious minorities in Syria.

Pagans could cremate and burn their dead and be consistent with their religious beliefs. Christians cannot, for Christians believe that the body has too much value to be consigned to the flames.

And does not there arise in us the question of why the Lord united these two elect of His here on earth, if not because it was by one heart and by one mind that they lived, although in different times and circumstances—the same work they fulfilled, living on earth so as to unite themselves in eternity and on earth in the memory of the people? Let us look closer at their lives and draw from the fountain of ever-present living water which grants immortality to the soul.
