My Dearest Lord Jesus,

Please look upon Your servant Alex and guide him in his spiritual journey. Enlightenment him as to the path he should take, so that the abundant gifts given him, will be utilized for Your glory in whichever way You Yourself so wills.

May the blessed nurturing he has obtained within the faith he was raised in, and the abundant knowledge given to him through that faith and nurturing, be the bridge leading to full communion of all within Your Holy Church.

God Bless,

Zenovia

God Bless and keep you all the days of your life. May you find the peace and happiness that we all search for. Is it too much to as if you pray for us as well? As a previous post said--may we one day be in communion with all things.

Dear Friends,

Thank you all for your exceeding kindness!

May the Lord bless and reward you a thousandfold.

This experience is teaching me what real praying and spiritual struggle is all about.

I've never felt more alive.

God bless you all and, Michael Thoma, don't be depressed, pray and read the Bible until the devil leaves you alone!

Brat' Oleksandr - daj Bozhe z'drovya i shchastya. We go where led (speaking from experience), and often the utterings of the Spirit cannot, and probably should not, be put into the words of men. Pray for us stranniki as well.

Thank you, Mr. Roman, for taking time away from your reading and prayers to share with us your new turn in life. May God be with you.

Dear Friends,

Fearing, as I always have, my family's reaction, I now learn that not only do I have some real support, but also some other relatives who are likewise interested in exploring "OP" (Orthodox Possibilities) with me!

May God richly bless all of you!

Brother Alexander,

Ask your consciousness again ad again, if you want to become Orthodox, then become.

Do not be affected by sadness. Your far brother continues to pray for you.

Dear Friends,

A note of thanks for your prayers. Everything seems to have worked out with the Orthodox priest I have been speaking with helping to bring peace. He has also suggested that I not continue with any plans to become Orthodox and leave it at that.

I'm taking his advice to calm down and slow down - which was also that of a friend from this Forum who sent me a very helpful email last night (you know who you are - thank you sir!).

We can love at a distance. It still has an impact.

I like the Orthodox priest that you've been talking to, sight unseen.

May you be at peace by grace. You've been in my prayers.

Mary
