I never knew as much about angels as I do now. They are really with us!

Spiritually dense. Good thing I’m reading it with a group of women who are much smarter than me.

I love Sister Anastasia’s story. I’m reading it slowly because I never want it to end. I want to be friends with her 🥺

Sister Anastasia really completed her New Age bingo card before returning to Christ, wow

God willing, I will learn how to live a holy life

Rereading because I’m still not holy

Welp, I found someone to marry so now I have to read this. Thank God.

God willing I will finish this whole book before I am baptized and receive communion for the first time

Essential reading before my baptism tbh

Still not reading this book. I wish the holy women volume was twice as long or that they’d make another one!

I’m actually reading volume 10 of this series, The Lives of the Great Holy Women. There isn’t a listing on here for it. So far I’ve read the life of St Mary of Egypt (probably going to be my patron) and St Eugenia

I have to immediately read this book over again to glean even more from it

Elder Thaddeus is Christian Thich Nhat Hanh. I love him.

I can already tell from the bit of the biographical section about Fr. Thaddeus that this book is going to be very good for my mental health and may help me in the future with my clients. I have a figment of a dream of applying Orthodoxy to my professional practice once fully licensed.

This tiny book is important and I should probably just read it continually.

This little book is the spiritual food I need right now, especially during fasting. St Seraphim pray for my discernment and the transformation of my attitudes and habits through the reading of your holy words!

Thank God for sober Orthodox Christianity. Just because something gives you an emotional experience doesn’t mean it’s true! Looking at you, corny charismatic guitar worship nondenominational Protestantism.

This just in: UFOs are just demons but we no longer use Christian reasoning so no one knows how to deal with them.
