Thank you for your insights! Very helpful to me, as i struggle with the whole toll house idea. Christ died to free us from the power of evil. Christ will be our judge, not demons!!!! Thank God.

Thank God for Holy Saints but also thankful that orthodox theology does not require infallibility of all the Saints ☦️ to believe what is written here about the Holy Theotokos allegedly terrified by the power of demons, obviously contradicts 2000 year record of the Grace of God in our Holy Mother ☦️ we pray in many of our hymns of the incredible power that is granted to her by which the demons flee from her in terror, rather than she is allegedly terrorized in weakness and fear of demons. Glory to God. Holy Theotokos save us ☦️🕊️🔥

Before birth we live an existence for 9 months where we breathe no air, we are warm and our environment is fully fluid. At the end of our entire existence in this realm, the baby about to be born goes through the equivalent of a heart attack (physiologically), goes through a tunnel – to the light, and is greeted on the other side of the tunnel by unconditional love of creatures the like of which it has never seen before. I like to think that we repeat this process once again at death.

I just lost my daddy-o 29 days ago, and am making plans for the 40 days coming up soon. I just wanted to share my vision with anyone going through this in their lives… and right now, 2020, there are millions going through the loss I feel. Blessing to you all.

An excellent reminder, as always. Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco, pray for us sinners! Amen. +
