Today we go to the Mount of Transfiguration and Qumran and return to Jerusalem. My heart overflows with many things, some of which I will share soon. Thank […]

On the Edge of Heaven
Read more: On the Edge of HeavenWe traveled today to the Monastery of St. Saba, in the Judean desert. Founded in the 5th century, it is the longest continually functioning monastery in the Orthodox world.

Deliver Us From the Evil One
Read more: Deliver Us From the Evil OneThe following words of St. Silouan are fairly straightforward. God give us grace and good hearts to hear him.
