Great post Prude. I've been an Orthodox Christian for 7 months now. I am amazed at the strength and faith I see in the members of my Church. Its nothing like the hyper-machismo I find in so many online Orthodox Christians. The dichotomy has always seemed strange to me.

I wish I had her faith; she sounds much like St Therese of the Infant Jesus.

Great piece, thank you Prude. I’m also a choir member. You sound like a tenor, but I may be mistaken

Thank you for sharing this. The endurance of the saints and the suffering is such an alien concept in our culture. I appreciate being confronted with the goal that Christ lays out in front of us.

Excellent read, brother Frog. There has been a great deal of suffering around my family recently, and this post truly helped me put recent events into their proper frame. Glory to God for all things.

Happy Birthday
