After tonight’s Service of the Bridegroom, I found myself alone in the narthex of our church. It was quiet and this nook shone brightly with the light of God. Everyone’s prayers shimmering in the darkness. I stood for a moment...soaked up the anticipation...reflected on my path...felt the floor beneath my feet. #greatlent #holyweek #astillsmallpoint_popofcolor #astillsmallpoint #orthodoxy #greatandholylent #bridegroomservice #orthodoxchurch #beholdthebridegroomcometh
Thus to eat, to be alive, to know God and be in communion with Him were one and the same thing. The unfathomable tragedy of Adam is that he ate for its own sake. More than that, he ate “apart” from God in order to be independent of Him. And if he did it, it is because he believed that food had life in itself and that he, by partaking of that food, could be like God, i.e., have life in himself. He may claim that he believes in God but God is not his life, his food, the all-embracing content of his existence. He may claim that he receives his life from God but he doesn’t live in God and for God. His science, his experience, his self-consciousness are all built on that same principle: “by bread alone.” We eat in order to be alive but we are not alive in God.

PSA!
The service of the Akathist Hymn is celebrated every Friday evening of Lent and is one of the most beautiful services to attend.
They’re usually at 7pm and last almost an hour.
All churches should be celebrating them, check to see if yours is tomorrow!!

"Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." that was the first thing that came to mind with today's #journeytopascha prompt. the second thing was just how soon holiday design season will be upon us you may just see this or something similar make its way to a Christmas card design.

Today we celebrate the Feastday of St. Mary of Egypt.

One of the great messages of Lent is forgiveness. Help us bring Christ's Light into the darkness of the cell.
God Bless!

Theotokos and Virgin, you are the fortress for virgins and for all who run to you for refuge. O immaculate Maiden, for the Creator of heaven and earth prepared you, inhabiting your womb and instructing all to address you thus;
Rejoice, pillar of virginity;
Rejoice, the gate of salvation.
Rejoice, initiator of spiritual renewal;
Rejoice, provider of godly benevolence.
Rejoice, for through you were born again those conceived in shame;
Rejoice, for you have admonished those whose intellects had been captured.
Rejoice, for you abolished him who corrupts reason;
Rejoice, for you have given birth to the saver of purity
Rejoice, bridal chamber of seedless marriage;
Rejoice, you who join the faithful to the Lord.
Rejoice, beautiful nursemaid of virgins;
Rejoice, bridesmaid of souls that are holy.
Rejoice, O Bride unwedded. #lent #akathisthymn #journeytopascha #journeytopascha2018 #liveorthodoxy #theotokos #greatandholylent
