Κατηγορίες: In English

We read that, in England, churches are going to be open for Christmas. Among these will be the Orthodox ones. As of today, Ireland is allowing 50 people at a time to attend Mass.

One next to the other (Saint Justin Popovich)

Κατηγορίες: In English

Consider all the universes, all the worlds there are, all the beings. Down with all the hearts, the minds,  the lives, the immortalities, the eternities.
