I wish I were a Monk already.

Thank you for the lovely and informative pictures and articles preceeding them. I am learning about Greek heritage to teach my children before I pass. Their G.Grandfather was from Greece...Beneyote, went to Lebanon. All baptized Greek until my children born. Their father had little/no interest. So I am doing what I can to re-instill their faith. I am 70 this year...so much better to see it through now than leave it...to chance. Blessings to you all...With respect,
In the name of our Lord Jesus,
Who has saved us...
