Sisters and brothers in Christ,
Hard it is with this unity between our Churches. The solution is one. Christ. And point. He will teach us how to be one again and this division will end.
All is a matter of love. Humble prayer. Alas! If we die now, will we be found as disciples of Lord Jesus Christ? Will we be able to say with all the soul: "I love You, my Lord!"?
I thank you that you allowed me here for a certain time. Now it arrived time that I withdraw. I arrived a time for dedicated prayer. My life is shaking and it is hard.
I can be reached at my usual yahoo or gmail address.
Thank you.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have much mercy upon all the members of this forum, upon Marie-Josephine and Ronald, together with their children and the two grandchildren, upon Aggeliki and Panteleimon and their family, upon Pani Rose and Deacon Stan and their family, upon Melissa Ann Talitha, Father Christopher, Jason , Anhelyna, Zenovia, Alicia Magdalena, Elizabeth Maria, Communion of Saints, Bernardo, Alexander, and all all. Amin.
Eyes on Christ, our Life and Saviour! How to be divided if we keep our eyes on Christ?
Have mercy, God, have much mercy...
In Risen Christ <><

Dearest Marian, beloved brother in Christ, Your absence from our forum will be a great loss. Your thoughts have always been profound and spiritual, without too many words--just like those thoughts of the great monastic Fathers. You are a holy and shining example of Orthodoxy and we Orthodox are blessed to have you represent the spirit of our faith. Indeed, all the debates of the world, which only serve to bring out the passions and sins of our souls, like anger, sarcasm, insults, and ego, can and will never, unite people, families, or Churches--only love, charity, respect, and 'focus on Christ' can. Thank you for reminding us of this, and for always reminding us to behave in a holy manner befitting the awesome title we have taken as 'Christians' or 'followers of Christ'. I pray that you will reconsider leaving us. We need your holy words and presence. You are always in our prayers, and I feel personally blessed to have met you on this forum..a forum which has brought many other blessed people of diverse traditions, but kind and Christian hearts, like you, together. May God's blessings be with you and your family, and may His blessings continue to be with this forum of loving people. In Christ, Alice, Moderator (and friend)

Indeed, Marian, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for your reminders of what, of Who, is important.....
Do whatever you feel is necessary, whether that means writing here to us or not to write for a while.
May we all meet someday in the Risen Christ,
Communion of Saints

Marian, DON'T GO! Please. We need you. Christ needs you. Here.
You have a rare and precious gift of wisdom. It helps keeps us focused and open to receiving the Holy Spirit. Please don't take your gifts away from us.
Instead, just take a break. That is what I did. That is what others did. When we became tired or fed up with the Forum, we took a break from it. Then, when we were restored in our souls, we returned.
I hope to see you again here after you become restored in your soul.
May God bless you.
-- John

Marian,
I think like all families we are going thorugh a rough patch - it happens . If we all work and pray together we will get through it and friendships will be strengthened.
I don't know what is happening in your life at present - but this I know - we appreciate you being here with us .
Take a wee break now till Pascha - and we all celebrate it together this year - join with us on that day when we will be able to passs the great Greeting round among us all - when we spread the Good News that Christ is Risen - as He said He would.
