“Do you want to be healed?” -- St. John 5:6. A new epistle from the Burning Bush Brotherhood
See original post and the Burning Bush Brotherhood site here: From the "Spiritual Meadow" of St. John Moschos, followed by the insights of Patriarch Theodore Balsamon.
"Recently the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of America, Elpidoforos, published on Facebook a statement [*] which says: "They are many paths which lead to the top of the mountain, and those who ignore this fact are ignorant"!
His Eminence attempts to spread Ecumenism, which is the mingling and mixing of all religions into one.
With respect to His Eminence, I would like to strongly...
Original post by Fr. Zechariah Lynch:
In this post I am sharing with you, the reader, two important examples from the life of the New Hiero-martyr Vladimir of Kiev. The accounts are take from his recorded life in “Holy New-Martyrs of Southern Russian” by Vladimir Moss.
The first is an account of how the Saint conducted himself during the time of a cholera epidemic in Russia....
Introduction:
The Saints were men and women who exemplify the perfection of the Christian life through holiness and virtue we should strive to emulate. In what follows from the life of the Blessed and clairvoyant Geronda Athansius of Gregoriou Monastery (Mt. Athos), we find three valuable life lessons we need to hear and implement during these days in which...
1) The Locust Swarm vs The Saints
“In the village of Voultisa, which is in the coastal area of Pieria east of Veria, Grigoriou Monastery had a metochion which it had bought in 18557 from a certain Turkish bey. One time the steward, very upset, sought for help from the Monastery. He requested that they send him a devout priest and holy...
(The following is a conversation between St. Iakavos of Evia and his spiritual child[ren]): St. Iakavos: "“When we put on the cassock, we begin with the goal of sanctifying our soul. Care is necessary, however. For love of the world’s honor and glory, our egotism can make us lose our soul, rather than sanctify it... Priests shouldn’t cut their hair....
"The priest's cassock is the flag of the Church of our Christ: for this reason we must try hard to honor it, we who wear it, with a holy life, so that those who don't wear it will honor and respect it." - St. Amphilochios of Patmos IMPORTANT! New lecture from Constantine Zalalas! Topics discussed include: the 1st Ecumenical Synod, papal Protestantism, Ecumenism, and the mad rush for mass inoculations. . .

The Kollyvades Fathers and St. Hilarion (Troitsky)
We now come to one of the most crucial time periods and to perhaps the most important patristic interpretation as to the identity and boundaries of the Body of Christ, especially as it pertains to the present challenge to the Church posed by contemporary, syncretistic ecumenism.
In Lesson 7 we will look at the teachings of the so-called...
We will narrow our examination at this point in order to properly focus and benefit from those theological and historical signposts which are more relevant and beneficial for us in our time.
To this end we have chosen to focus on the other two great “pillars of Orthodoxy,” besides St. Photios the Great (see Lesson 5), namely, St. Gregory Palamas and St. Mark of Ephesus, before we move on, next...
We will begin the lesson by briefly looking at some aspects of St. Augustine’s stance vis-a-vis the Donatists and also St. Hypatios’ reaction to Nestorius, but we will move on to cover aspects of the readings for week 4: The Church in St. Maximus the Confessor’s theology, the condemnation of Pope Honorius, the Church in St. John of Damascus and the 1st and 95th canons of Trullo, as well as St. Tarasius’...
In this third lesson of ten in our course on Orthodox Ecclesiology we will focus on the important canons of St. Basil the Great with regard to ecclesiastical exactitude and economy, with St. Augustine's treatise Against the Donatists On Baptism, and how the Church Fathers countered the heresy of Nestorius, and more.
