“Pain of heart is the condition for spiritual growth and the manifestation of God’s power. Healings, etc., occur to those in desperation, hearts pained but still trusting and hoping in God’s help. This is when God acts.” – Father Seraphim Rose There is sometimes this rather erroneous perception amongst certain Christians that after making a drastic change in

"Hell wasn't really created, just like evil wasn't really created. Hell is simply the state and the place into which the fallen angels fell. In other words, in a sense, they made it themselves." – Fr. Seraphim Rose I’ve suffered with mental illness for most of my life. But I am not alone. In the
In our world that currently seems so full of violence, conflicts, assassinations, anarchy, and madness, I am reminded of a brave woman who lived through eerily similar times. Especially during the early-20th century, Russia experienced a then unprecedented time of war, revolution, and mass murder. Yet, in the midst of this chaos, Grand Duchess Elizabeth

08/20/25 Dear Fr. Josiah Trenham: I am writing this letter regarding the upcoming event that you are organizing titled “Marriage: Bedrock of Civilization” which will feature as a speaker Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco. As a cradle Catholic (now Orthodox) and native San Franciscan, I know a little about the Archbishop and the Archdiocese of

I was born in 1969; the same year that Pope Paul VI officially promulgated the Novus Ordo or the “New Mass.” Growing up in the Catholic Church during the 1970s and 80s, it was the only Liturgy I ever knew. The “Mass” was usually a rather demonstrative event; almost always accompanied by a strumming guitar

Although gay activists continue to claim that homosexuality is an indelible trait, no definitive scientific evidence has ever emerged which proves that someone is “born gay.” In their authoritative 2016 study “Sexuality and Gender: Findings from the Biological, Psychological, and Social Sciences,” authors Lawrence S. Mayer and Paul R. McHugh found that: Some of the

[Warning: Some of the links in this article contain disturbing material.] I first became aware of Christopher Rufo when scrolling through the responses to Dave Rubin’s announcement on X concerning the imminent birth of two children, whom he bought via in-vetro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy with his same-sex partner. Those who congratulated the couple included
Recently, I read a series of incredibly poignant and heartbreaking posts on the social media site “Threads” which were written by Vivian Jenna Wilson. Dated July 25, 2024, much of what Vivian described was very recognizable to me: growing up with a father who wasn’t around that much, feeling different when you are a child,
“Behold, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I do not perceive him; on the left hand when he is working, I do not behold him; he turns to the right hand, but I do not see him.” (Job 23: 8-9) “Look to the right and see: there is none who takes

I first became an admirer of Jordan Peterson way back in 2016. When he was a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, Peterson pushed back against a Canadian law compelling speech in terms of preferred pronouns for transgender individuals. In his support, an on-campus rally was held by students that also drew the
I was born in 1969. The year of Woodstock, the vicious Charles Manson murders, and the Stonewall Riots. My early cohort of Generation X were amongst the first Americans to grow-up entirely in a world that would fully experience the impact of the Sexual Revolution. As a result of the social and cultural upheavals of

O Holy, Righteous Joseph! While still living on earth, thou had great boldness before the Son of God, Who was pleased to call thee His father, as thou was betrothed to His Mother, and to obey thee: we believe that now, taking up thine abode with the choirs of the righteous in heavenly habitations, thou

“For behold, Thou hast loved truth; the hidden and secret things of They wisdom hast Thou made manifest unto me.
