โSpeaking of Elder Ephraim of Arizona, he [St. Ephraim of Katounakia] once remarked:
โWhatever he sets his hand to in life shall prosper, for he embraced perfect obedience and brought great consolation to the heart of his Elder.โ โ

"Was kann bedrรผckender sein als die Lage einer Seele, wenn sie von Versuchungen verfolgt wird? Es ist, wie im Hades zu sein, in ewiger Qual, und der Gedanke an jene lindert die Versuchungen im Diesseits." - St. Ignatius Brjantschaninow, Brief 79, An Nonne Alexandra Wasiljewna

In our upcoming documentary about Saint Kassiani, the Hymnographer, we also feature several women who played a significant role in restoring holy icons.
Among them is Saint Theodora, empress of the Romans, who was ironically married to Theophilos, the last iconoclast emperor.
Our video will likely come out by the end of next week.

Today is Feast Day of Bishop St Raphael Hawaweeny of Brooklyn - missionary to America.
"With the growth of his New York community came an increase in the number of children, and he was concerned about their future. He wanted to establish an evening school to educate them in a Christian atmosphere, because the future of the Church in this country depended upon the instruction of the youth. Children who did not speak Arabic were already going to non-Orthodox churches where Sunday school classes were conducted in English. Bishop Raphael saw the absolute necessity for using English in worship and in education for the future progress of the Syro-Arab Mission.""

You were a guardian and a defender of the Churchโs teaching; you protected your flock from false doctrines and confirmed them in the true faith. O holy father Raphael, son of Syria and glory of North America, always intercede before the Lord that our souls may be saved ๐โฆ๏ธ
