It is a spiritual discipline – almsgiving- […]

Zolpidem Buy Online India 12 July 2011 · by Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/vsuiwfi52t9 I keep receiving questions from people about the military, particularly in a time of war.

C.S. Lewis on theosis

31 May 2011 · by Fr. Ernesto 8 Comments

By now regular readers know that I am a fan of C.S. Lewis, and I was a fan of him before becoming Orthodox. In fact, I consider him one of the influences that led me to Orthodoxy, though I would not have thought of it that way before I became Orthodox. You see, it was […]
