Today is the repose day of the wonderful Archimandrite John of Edinburgh, Scotland, who I had the blessing to meet and pray with several times back in February of 1999. Please say a prayer for his soul. The Blessed Memory of Fr John Maitland Moir, 1924 – 2013

The day of St. Cuthbert of Lindisfarne
Today is the commemoration of St. Cuthbert of Lindisfarne … possibly the first Orthodox saint I remember encountering and who has shown himself to be a very quiet, unobtrusively present heavenly protector for some decades now. I was very blessed to be able to make a pilgrimage to his tomb in Durham Cathedral back in 1999!
How to be saved….
“If you want to be saved, your heart has to be in a state of repentance and contrition. When people try to have a humble heart and a peaceful mind, then none of the machinations of the enemy is set in motion. Because where there’s peace of mind, God Himself is at rest.” – St. Seraphim of Sarov
