Today Patriarch Ilia II of Georgia has reposed to the Lord and the Orthodox world morns. In his saintly life the late patriarch baptized over 50,000 godchildren and promoted peace and unity wherever he went. May we seek to follow his example. Patriarch Ilia II of Georgia pray to the Lord for us!

The goal of human freedom is not in freedom itself, nor it is in man, but in God. By giving man freedom, God has yielded to mam a piece of His Divine authority, but with the intention that man himself would voluntarily bring it as a sacrifice to God, a most perfect offering. St. Theophan the Recluse

In our country, Faith has become a commodity to be traded, bought and sold. In our country, Life is also viewed as a commodity, to be traded as assets or liabilities — thus some life can be sold as a liability against the bottom line (the poor and the unborn). — Rev. Steven Clark
