"There are people in our own times, who boast of pagan Greek learning and the wisdom of this world, and who completely disobey spiritual men in matters of the Spirit, and choose to oppose them. When they hear that the light of the Lord's Transfiguration on the mountain was seen by the eyes of the Apostles, they immediately reduce it to visible, created light.
They drag down that immaterial, never-setting, pre-eterna…

"Place all hope in the Lord, and His help will always be with you.
In preparing for battle, however, do not think that you will always be victorious. Often there will be only hardship that will bring nothing but affliction. You will often see that with each desire to be careful, slips and blunders steal by and creep in. Know ahead of time that this is the way things are. You will encounter them, but do not be afraid…

"Nationalism, like all false gods, leaves no space for the Almighty. We often meet atheists who burn with nationalist zeal. Modern nationalism easily morphs into imperialism, and the two are never far apart. In its darker forms, it shows not so much a love for one’s own people — that would be entirely natural — but rather a fierce disdain for neighbouring peoples, revolting in the eyes of the Creator of all nations."…

"I know people who, with the Elder's teaching, have managed to pray daily from 'early dawn' for three or four hours, apart from the evening prayers and others. I even know brothers who, with the Elder's blessing and teaching, have become used to unceasingly repeating the prayer during the day, either noetically or whispering it verbally.
There are entire families that, at least twice a day, worship together at home,…

"O Lady, generously share your mercy and your graces with all your people, your inheritance. Rescue us from the terrors that encompass us. See how many dangers of all kinds afflict us, from our own people and from strangers, from within and without. Through your power turn everything for the best."

"One can only pray that the young Orthodox people of America, and all those whose hearts are ripe for genuine Orthodoxy, will pay heed to these messages from the suffering Orthodox soul under the atheist yoke and respond to them by shaking off the worldly enticements of these decadent times and at last taking seriously the Orthodox Faith which is given too easily to us here, thus making the beginning of the genuine, …

"We [the cradle Orthodox] possess a very ancient tradition. I look at the American Orthodox. They are very passionate for Orthodoxy, but they're lacking Holy Tradition. So, in a sense, they are streams branching off the Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, or Romanian tradition, since they do not have the traditional instruction from their ancestors, as we do. We stand on a firm rock: the teachings of the Holy Fathers, the a…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @nepsisblog. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
