Theophany in Romania ☦️

Saint Paisios used to say: “If psychological books did not exist, we would have fewer suicides.” Be careful—psychological books have caused great harm; do not read them. People read these books and fall into despair, because behind Freud, Jung, and all of them are hidden evil spirits (demons), since they were occultists and cooperated with magicians. And the evil spirit is a murderer of humans. It wants to push a person toward suicide. Many who read them condemn themselves. *Hieromonk Savvas Agioritis (Homily, 9–03–2016)*

“I am firmly convinced that the Reformation of the sixteenth century was as near as any mortal thing can come to unmixed evil. Even the parts of it that might appear plausible and enlightened from a purely secular standpoint have turned out rotten and reactionary, also from a purely secular standpoint. By substituting the Bible for the sacrament, it created a pedantic caste of those who could read, superstitiously identified with those who could think. By destroying the monks, it took social work from the poor philanthropists who chose to deny themselves, and gave it to the rich philanthropists who chose to assert themselves. By preaching individualism while preserving inequality, it produced modern capitalism. It destroyed the only league of nations that ever had a chance. It produced the worst wars of nations that ever existed. It produced the most efficient form of Protestantism, which is Prussia. And it is producing the worst part of paganism, which is slavery.” - G.K. Chesterton

Not my memes but you all should enjoy them too.

Blessed feast of The Theophany of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! When Thou, O Lord, wast baptized in the Jordan, worship of the Trinity wast made manifest; for the voice of the Father bore witness to Thee, calling Thee His beloved Son. And the Spirit in the likeness of a dove confirmed the truth of His word. O Christ our God, Who hast appeared and enlightened the world, glory to Thee. ☦️
