To get help from the Lord, you need to have faith and appeal directly to God. He helped me, and not only once. I was able to recover from cancer twice.
We have the same genes and we pass down from generation to generation the memory of Feodor Mikhailovich as we inherited nothing else but the genes.
Priest Georgy Mashtaler
Our parish is growing; the church is becoming too small for the community. I rejoice!
We were brought up in the faith. We tried to preserve what we loved and appreciated in Russian culture.
Nun Cornelia (Rees)
Fatherlessness is a tragedy, and the cause of so many blighted lives. But the worst kind of fatherlessness is when people have lost their connection with God the Father.

Elder Epiphanios (Theodoropoulos)
If it’s impermissible to denigrate the mission and work of clergy serving in the world (as well as of the zealots and bearers of gifts of grace from among the laity), it’s also impermissible to denigrate the mission and work of monks. The Church is led unerringly by the Holy Spirit.

There are more than forty active Orthodox churches, and their parishioners aren’t simply Slavs who have moved to Japan, as you might first think. The parishioners of the country’s main Orthodox church—the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Tokyo—are mainly Japanese.

Our family archive contains photographs of Sinai—mine and those that my daughter took when she and her husband climbed the holy mountain of Moses.
