Dear readers, I present to you a translation of a message from Met. Luke of Zaporozhye about the meeting of Pat. Bartholomew and Pope Leo at Iznik (Nicaea), which happened not long ago. His message is forthright and timely. I have posted a number of other messages from Met. Luke on this blog. They may …

What follows is a letter from Archbishop Theophan of Poltava, of blessed memory. He penned this letter on 4/31/36, in the short calm between two World Wars. The fact that the themes he touches upon are so close to those of our times shows that modern man has learned very little. Today, secular leaders speak …
“His disciples came to him and showed him the buildings of the temple. But Jesus told them, 'You see all of these things, do you not? Amen, I tell you that not one stone will be left standing on another; all will be thrown down,'” Matthew 24: 1-2. After years of Jewish resistance to the …

Below is a timely word from St. Nikolia Velimirovich. This prophetic call of his to European peoples is recorded by St. Justin Popovich in his book entitled “The Orthodox Church and Ecumenism.” St. Nikolia's word is equally applicable to the United States of America. Moreover, the spirit that he addresses is not one contingent upon …

The Twentieth Century was the bloodiest century known to mankind. The Twenty-First Century seems to have learned nothing from the previous, or maybe, rather, it is purposefully applying the instructions of the last century. More Christians were martyred in the Twentieth Century than any previous one. More Christians were martyred during the Twentieth Century than …
“'Which jurisdiction do you belong to?' I answered to all: 'To Christ's jurisdiction!'” Fr. Gerasim of Spruce Island. We must be digging deep into the Rock of our Salvation, our Lord and God Jesus Christ. The winds are blowing and the storm only seems to be growing. The Lord knows, He will use all things …
“We have no king but Caesar,” the Pharisees and chief priests. This post is a continuation of the reflection that I embarked upon in my last article, 'We Found Witches, the Inquisition of Control Over Human Freedom.” If you have yet to read it, I'd recommend you read it before reading this post. Here I'm …
“You have to force behaviors,” Larry Fink of BlackRock. The above quote comes from a 2017 interview that has resurfaced on the internet. In it Mr. Fink (sounds like a Dickens character, “Squeeze them Mr. Fink, squeeze them!”) speaks about how behavior must be forced to change and, in basic, certain prominent groups should use …

How prophetic are the words of God's holy ones. Below is a letter from the righteous and holy Elder Philotheos Zervakos, written in 1940. The letter is so pertinent to our times that it could have been written today. In some sense, this is very sad. We moderns have proven that we have learned very …
