An Orthodox girl prays:
– I am not asking for myself, Lord, please send my mother a very good son-in-law…
Despondency is when you long to take your soul out for a change of scenery, and it dislikes every view.
Just when you’re about to pray, “Lord, crush the bones of sinners!” – your own bones start aching so bad you don’t know what to say anymore.
– Father, I think the smear campaign against the UOC was ordered from the top.
– No, son. It wasn’t from the top. It came from the bottom. Rock bottom.
Two commemoration slips were brought to our altar: for the health of "everyone here" and for the repose of "everyone there".
– How are you doing, Orthodox flock?
– All is well, but we are not despairing.
Exercise in patience and humility.
