A Prayer Before Communion
by St Dimitry of Rostov

Open, O doors and bolts of my heart
that Christ the King of Glory may enter!
Enter, O my Light and enlighten my darkness;
enter, O my Life, and resurrect my deadness;
enter, O my Physician and heal my wounds;
enter, O Divine Fire, and burn up the thorns of my sins;
ignite my inward parts and my heart with the flame of Thy love;
enter, O my King, and destroy in me the kingdom of sin;
sit on the throne of my heart and [You] alone reign in me,
O Thou, my King and Lord.

QUOTES from around
"God loves us more than a father, a mother, or a friend can love, or whoever else, and even more than we ourselves can love ourselves" (St. John Chrysostom)
+ + +
"Do not skip the occasion to pray for any man by his asking or by the asking to pray for him by his kin, friends, fans or acquaintances. The Lord looketh with favor at a prayer of our love and at our daring before Him. In addition, a prayer for others is also very useful to the one praying for others: it cleanses the heart, strengthens the faith and the hope in God and warms up love of God and neighbor." (St. John of Kronstadt)
+ + +
"Persecutions and embarrassment are useful to us, for they strengthen the faith" (St. Nikon Belyaev, the Elder of Optina)
+ + +
"A disciple of Christ is only then carrying his cross right, when one acknowledges that namely the sorrows sent to him, and no others, are necessary for one's formation in Christ and [for one's] salvation" (St. Ignatius Brianchaninov)
+ + +
"There is an external cross – it lies on the breasts. These are sorrows, misfortunes, privations, illnesses, attacks, slandering. There is an internal cross – selflessness with self-mortificaiton, i.e. the fight with oneself, ruthless fight with oneself. There is a spiritual cross, God's or Divine [one] – the crucifixion on God's will" (St. Theophan the Recluse)
+ + +
"Do not be like a horse that can be ridden by any person or demon. Be serious, firm and steadfast" (St. Serafim Sobolev)
+ + +
"Remember of your sins and you will be assured that you are always worthy of punishment" (St. Serafim Sobolev)
+ + +
"It is namely repentance, which reaches its fullness in deep lamenting, and couples with the revelation of thoughts, that opens up the spiritual eyes, making them capable of seeing God's greatness" (Metr. Hierotheos of Nafpaktos goo.gl/6EM7YB in Russian)
+ + +
"The Church is no gathering of holy persons but a crowd of sinners" (St. Ephraim the Syrian)

Orthodoxy

(Gr., Ὀρθοδοξία).

The etymology of this word is more complex and controversial than most think. It is made up of two Greek words, ὀρθός and δόξα. The first word, orthos, means “right,” “correct,” or “straight.” While the second word, doxa, means “glory,” it has also been used in historical forms of Greek to express thought, belief, opinion and even anticipation. Orthodoxy, therefore, refers to correct belief, correct thought or thinking, and, by extension—as the Church Fathers often use it—rightness of confession or faith. Although amateur etymologists, who do not understand or take into account the development of the Greek language, often overlook or deny this fact, it also means rightness or correctness in worship, by virtue of its modern meaning of “glory”; i.e., the proper way to glorify (or worship) God."

EQUATION OF POWERS
[EQUATION OF ENERGIES]

... Let no man, therefore, imagine that we argue about times, months, and days – or suffer privations and persecutions for the sake of full moon and equinoxes (cf. Col. 2:16). To us, the Great Indiction [Cycle], the Julian Calendar, and the Orthodox Paschalion are not one system of measuring time among many others. They are the fruit of the collective genius and work of a number of anonymous champions of science and Faith, an integral part of the precious heritage of our universal Church Tradition, to which the Holy Orthodox Church holds firm, proclaiming its Good Tidings to the world.

[INSPIRED WORDS (about THE CHURCH CALENDAR OF THE FATHERS...) – from the Introduction to the 1994 Church Calendar of the Orthodox Old Calendar Church of Bulgaria – by Bishop Photii of Triaditsa] (as translated and printed in “Orthodox Tradition” Volume XII, Number 4, 1995)

РАВЕНСТВО НА СИЛИТЕ [РАВЕНСТВО НА ЕНЕРГИИТЕ]

... И така, да не помисли някой, че ние спорим за времена, месеци и дни, че търпим лишения и гонения заради пълнолуния и равноденствия (срв. Кол. 2:16). За нас календарно-пасхалистичната система на Великия индиктион не е просто един от многото календари. Плод на гениалното съборно творчество на безименни подвижници на науката и вярата, тя е неразделна част от драгоценното наследство на общоцърковното Предание, което Светата Православна Църква съхранява и благовести на света!

[ВДЪХНОВЕНИ СЛОВА (за ОТЕЧЕСКИЯ ЦЪРКОВЕН КАЛЕНДАР...) – от Увода към Православен календар за 1994 г. на Българската Старостилна Православна Църква – от Триадицкий епископ Фотий]

St Vladimir of Kiev

Holy, holy. holy...
БъЛъ Тъ /Vladi-/ - велик прави, велик баща - т.е. могъщество, власт, владетел, намира широко лексикално разпространение - владея, владика, власт, validus/силен, могъщ/, die Gewalt/власт, сила/, valid/солиден/ и пр.
На езика на азите прабългари Владимир - БъЛъТъ МъИРъ означава “владетелски син”, “син на могъщия”.
In the language of the Azies Protobulgarians Vladimir - BuLuTu MuIRu means “ruler's son”, “son of the mighty”.

for you ... за теб...
for Love, за Любовта,
that keeps която ми
me going дава сили

защото как може малката песъчинка да не обича морето

for how could the little sand grain not love the sea

Пиша този блог за всичките си приятели и непознати - и особено - с уважение и възхита за Православните американци (което включва мнозина руснаци и други емигранти от традиционно православни страни, как бих могъл да не спомена тук брат Йосиф Муньос! (Кортес) - хора, които изпъкват- силно стърчат! ...), на които се възхищавам - за смелостта, разумяването, искреното и чистосърдечно усилие, осъзнатата им ежеминутна борба...

I'm writing this blog for all my friends and people unknown to me - and especially - with respect and admiration for the Orthodox Americans [which includes many Russians and other expatriates from traditionally Orthodox countries, how can I not mention here brother Joseph Munos! (Cortez) - people who stand out - protrude a lot! ...] whom I admire - for their courage, comprehension, sincere and pure-hearted efforts, ans their conscious minute-by-minute fight...

На тях им липсва спокойствието да са Православни по произход, обичай, да (си мислят, че) дишат Православен въздух - точно същите неща, които пък на нас тук ни пречат - пречат ни да постигнем това, което те вече имат - напълно осъзнатата действеност на Православни християни...

They lack the calmness to be Orthodox by descent, by habit, to [think they] breathe Orthodox air - exactly those same things that hamper us here from - are an obstacle for us to achieve what they already have - the fully aware pro-activeness of Orthodox Christians...

Това, което нас ни успива, тях ги подбужда към постоянна борба - и ги храни с увереността - със знанието, че Църквата е тяхна... (Един ли е само пътят - и възможно ли е да бъде определен от прашинката в крайпътния прашоляк?!...) 'Айде стига... Не ставай глупав - и извини злощастните ми усилия! /ВД/

What makes us dormant - prompts them to permanent fighting - and feeds them with the conviction - with the knowledge that the Church is theirs... [Is the path just one - and could it possibly be defined by the sand grain in the roadside dirt?! ...] Come on... Be wiser - and excuse my poor efforts! /VD/
