Wake Up to Love, and pray the Holy Rosary, pray the LOVE with us LIVE every weekday morning at 4:44 am ET

You have to find Peace now, not later. You have to find it right now in the middle of everything that you're going through. And one way is to initiate a constant conversation with God,  to pray ceaselessly-- "Only Your Love is here." As if you're saying it to God-- "Only Your Love is Here, Jesus" (or the Name that stirs you),  and it's like you're on His lap,  or at His feet,  and you can feel Him saying to you,  "Only Your Love is here." Filling you.  Healing you.  Convincing you.  Replacing you.  We are One.  I love you,  nik  Support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings __________________________________________ "...crowning me with love beyond my power to hold." - Based on Psalm 23 from Catholic Miselette  "let your striving cease.

This week Fr. Michael talks about how to pray and providing suggestions to friends who ask for help in praying. He talks about how prayer methods (rote prayer, contemplative prayer, etc.) work differently for each person, but ultimately how important prayer is to our daily lives and relationship with God.

Welcome to a special episode of the All Around Growth podcast.  Today, I'm excited to take you on a journey through an unforgettable experience that occurred at the Ancient Faith Singles Retreat held at the Antiochian Village over the weekend.  Join me as I open up about how this event truly transformed my life. I'll be sharing my own personal reflections, hoping to give you a taste of the incredible moments we shared during the retreat.   Whether you're tuning in to reminisce about your own retreat memories or you missed out on this unique experience, this episode is your chance to dive into the beauty of that weekend from my perspective.  Thank you for being part of this journey with me.  I'm grateful to have experienced it with you.  The Ancient Faith Singles Retreat 30+ is a gathering of Orthodox Christians who are at least 30 years of age, unmarried (single, divorced, widowed), and living in the world. The weekend will include daily matins and vespers, and Sunday Divine Liturgy. The group will participate in interactive, leader-led discussion sessions, opportunities for community service, games, and social activities, and free time for relaxation and fellowship.  The Antiochian Village is a Christian conference and retreat center located on 300 acres in the beautiful Laurel Highlands of southwestern Pennsylvania, just six miles north of the historic town of Ligonier. Owned and operated by the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, Antiochian Village was established in 1978 through the vision and leadership of the Archbishop, Metropolitan Philip, who dreamed of a place where the faithful of all ages could meet, worship, and become closer to God, away from the distractions of daily life.  ~Discussion Links:Intro Music:  Byzantine chant.

Anyone inquiring into Orthodoxy will find clarity from Elder Cleopa's detailed exposition of the Scriptures, especially if the ever-virginity of the Virgin Mary is currently a stumbling block to Orthodoxy. Elder Cleopa is one of the most beloved Romanian elders of the 20th century. A confessor of the faith under the Romanian communists, Elder Cleopa was a truly heavenly man whom thousands of people from all over travelled to receive his counsel and sit in his presence. He was not only a friend of God, the most blessed a man can be, but of his contemporary saints as well, including Elder Thaddeus, Elder Arsenie, St. Justin Popovic, St. Paisios the Athonite, and more. This podcast is a reading from "The Truth of Our Faith: Discourses from Holy Scripture on the Tenets of Christian Orthodoxy" by Elder Cleopa of Romania, pp. 82-88. -BUY "The Truth of Our Faith" by Elder Cleopa of Romania, published by Uncut Mountain Press: https://uncutmountainpress.com/shop/product/the-truth-of-our-faith/ -FIND an Orthodox parish and monastery near you: https://orthodoxyinamerica.org/ In 2021, the Romanian Orthodox Church officially decided to canonize Elder Cleopa and add his commemoration to the Church calendar. His canonization is set for 2025. https://orthochristian.com/137894.html ______ Elder Cleopa teaches: You also heard that although she was a virgin, as she had never known a man, the angel did not say to her “blessed art thou among virgins” but “blessed art thou among women,” without this word expressing disdain for the Most Holy Theotokos... God, as much as Adam, called Eve “woman” when she was a virgin because she had a female, and not male, nature, showing thus the feminine sex. In no way is it understood that God and Adam called her who was received from the side of Adam (and was still a virgin) a woman with the meaning of married woman. For just as Eve was a virgin when he called her woman, so too the mystical and spiritual Eve, the most holy Virgin Mary—she who gave birth to Christ the New Adam—is virgin unto the ages of ages, even though Holy Scripture refers to her as woman. At that time, Adam, by the will of God and in virginity, gave birth from his body to a woman, yet not by sexual intercourse with a woman. When the fullness of time had come, the female nature in synergy with the Holy Spirit gave birth to a man, yet not by relations with a man. In virginity, the Virgin Mary gave birth and remained virgin—just as in the beginning, in virginity, Adam gave birth without the co-operation of a woman, remaining virgin. Thus, God deigned through the Virgin Mary to cure the fallen nature of the old Adam with the New Adam born of the Virgin.... Thus, pay close attention: Holy Scripture does not call the Mother of God woman and thereby mean married woman, as some believe, but with the word woman reveals only the sex, the given female nature of the Ever-Virgin Mary, while simultaneously (in a hidden or concealed manner) saying that she is the woman whose Seed (Christ) will bruise the head of the serpent and through whom shall come the salvation of mankind. ______ Orthodox Wisdom is dedicated to sharing the writings and lives of the Saints of the Orthodox Church.

Your breakthrough is here. But first you must break through and feel Love.  You must focus on the Love, on (t)His Light. No matter what else you're feeling, no matter what else you're hearing, no matter what else you're seeing, you have to feel this Love anyway. You have to find God. Like, where's, Waldo? Every street, every restaurant, every seeming moment. Only you're not looking for that striped shirt, you're listening for The Feeling.  You listen for the Silence until the Love rushes in. And then the search never was.  There's only 'Him', again. Every time you hear the Silence, even just a little bit,  (t)here's only Love again.   I Love You,  I Am You, Nik  To claim your free gift, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it and send it to me at nikki@curlynikki.com!  Join us on Patreon to support the show, and tune into and participate in live video Q&As with me!  Support the show ************************* "We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God. The world is crowded with him. He walks everywhere incognito." -C.S. Lewis "My world is just like yours. I see, I hear, I feel, I think, I speak and act in a world I perceive, just like you. But with you it is all, with me it is nothing. Knowing the world to be a part of myself, I pay it no more attention than you pay to the food you have eaten. While being prepared and eaten, the food is separate from you and your mind is on it; once swallowed, you become totally unconscious of it. I have eaten up the world and I need not think of it any more." - Nisargadatta Maharaj "We are the sons of light and love, the sons of God, His children. As such we must have His qualities and His attributes of love, peace, and kindness towards all." - Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica "Jesus said, "If they ask you, 'Where do you come from?' tell them, 'We've come from the light, the place where light came into being by itself, [established] itself, and appeared in their image!' "If they ask you, 'Is it you?' then say, 'We are its children, and we're chosen by our living Father.' "If they ask you, 'What's the sign of your Father in you?' then say, 'It's movement and rest.!" -  Gospel of Thomas, Sayings of Jesus "When we meditate, then our work happens easily. People are unaware of this secret. They think why to spend 20 - 30 minutes meditating, when that time can be spent to earn them money." -Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar "Suddenly a small child ran across the road and the driver pulled the reins to stop the horse just in time to save the child. Maharaji said, "Like that", pointing to the driver holding the reins. "As the mind will travel here, there, and all directions, you should always try to pull it to one point. You should center it with continuous practice, then automatically it will go to the one point on which you want to meditate. Ultimately, after years, the mind becomes quiet." - Miracles of Love, Neem Karoli Baba "Focus on Jesus, not the storm Focus on Jesus, not he anxiety Focus on Jesus, not the pain Focus on Jesus, not the struggle." -@daily_bibleverses "The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience." -Emily dickinson

Tonight we picked up with Letter 57 where St. Theophan is discussing with Anastasia the various stages of the development of the passions; the movement from feelings, the provocation of desire, aided by a multitude of thoughts, that then gives over to concrete resolution to commit to sin. There is a kind of premeditation that is fostered by giving ourselves over to these realities and stages that Theophan describes. If unchecked we begin to plot even in a half-conscious way how we are going to act and complete the sin. It is then that the conscience is violated and the commands of God are disregarded. In this struggle we are ever so capable of rationalizing sin and the path to sin. Yet, what we are called to is to put on the mind of Christ. It cannot be our own ego or our reason that becomes the standard of judgment. Rather, we must allow ourselves to be drawn into the Paschal mystery; we must put on the mind of Christ in such a profound way that it is Christ acting within us. Only then will we begin to love as he loves, to forgive as he forgives; willing to be obedient to the Father and to His commands even when cannot see things clearly. Our love for Christ must be so great that our asceticism takes on the shape described by Theophan and the fathers; that is, we  become willing to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ - bringing every thought before Him for His blessing or judgment.   --- Text of chat during the group: 00:18:21 Gilmar Siqueira: And Brazil. :) 00:18:34 carolnypaver: Awesome! 00:18:47 Mark Cummings: Thank you for doing this remotely! 00:28:12 Gilmar Siqueira: Our Thoughts Determine Our Lives: the Life and Teachings of Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica 00:28:33 Jim Milholland: Thank you! 00:45:37 Eric Williams: Turn the other cheek, love your enemy, do not resist an evil man - but in parking lot after mass, all bets are off. ;) #roadrage 00:56:04 Wayne Mackenzie: When you get this point it can be to late.. and the sin is committed 01:08:04 Eric Williams: Categories of sins too often allow us to find the minimum we must do or how much can get away with. Instead, they should be used to help us better see what to avoid and how to seek after the will of God. We should seek maximal holiness, rather than just minimal sinfulness. 01:09:03 iPhone: Venial or mortal. Sin is sin. It separates us from God. 100% agree with Father. 01:10:07 Erick Chastain: Ambroise de Lombez says that the pride to have an "orderly mind" in one's thoughts leads to scrupulosity 01:10:58 iPhone: ^ Exactly. OCD (me lol) 01:12:49 Eric Williams: Despairing that all sin damns us because God is just is the Christless cross, and rationalizing all sin as acceptable because God is merciful is the crossless Christ. 01:23:49 Eric Williams: This discussion of aggression and retaliation is very timely as I struggle to respond in a Christlike way to a very difficult and infuriating neighbor. Deo gratias! 01:24:00 Erick Chastain: anger according to st Thomas Aquinas is any kind of desire to take action to set something right 01:24:34 Erick Chastain: ...it's not necessarily the emotion which leads to violent action 01:24:52 Erick Chastain: ...for example, just calling the cops is already an act of anger 01:24:53 iPhone: Amen!

My wife is re-reading the book “Our Thoughts Determine Our Lives: The Life and Teachings of Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica” for the 3rd time. It is inspiring to watch her work through it again. The book is a testimony to learning to live in the spirit, free of worldly influence. It is an aspirational work for our spiritual journey as we draw closer to God. It also offers a clear picture of why we suffer and cannot find peace. More than a few passages from the book have impacted me over the years since reading it, but two stand out, one on humility and the other on the type of life we will choose to live: “Until you have suffered much in your heart, you cannot learn humility.” “Our life depends on the kind of thoughts we nurture. If our thoughts are peaceful, calm, meek, and kind, then that is what our life is like. If our attention is turned to the circumstances in which we live, we are drawn into a whirlpool of thoughts and can have neither peace nor tranquility.” Have you suffered? Did it cause despair, or did it lead you to humility? What draws your attention? Worldly, temporal things, or peaceful, kind, important things? We all will suffer, and we all will have plenty of distractions put in front of us. How will we respond? What will we focus our thoughts, and ultimately our actions upon?

Thank you for listening to our podcast, Chats of Mercy - a 10-minute chat using the words of St. Faustina from her Diary to bring you encouragement, hope, and light so that you can see His merciful love for your life and be inspired to spread the message of MERCY to others.   In this episode, Faustina encourages us that in midst of the most difficult moments - you are not alone and your thoughts determine how you live.   "I have understood that at certain and most difficult moments I shall be alone, deserted by everyone and that I must face all the storms and fight with all the strength of my soul, even with those from whom I expected to get help. But I am not alone, because Jesus is with me, and with Him, I fear nothing.

Many of us have read the book Our Thoughts Determine Our Lives by Elder Thaddeus which is packed with holy wisdom. However, our thoughts gives rise to our actions, and our actions in turn reflect our thoughts. We are held to account by God for both what we think and what we do. Join Michael as he discusses the relationship to thoughts and actions, how we often entertain and get seduced by the wrong thoughts, and can make philosophy, psychology, and even theology and excuse to not have the right thoughts or take the right actions.

Have you ever awoken in the night with terrible thoughts about things you've done in the past, even when you were a child? Thoughts can go around and around like a hamster in the wheel. The Evil One can instigate over and over again our returning to memories of past weakness and faults, so that we never entirely move on. Thoughts can keep us intent upon looking at ourselves. God asks us to look at what he is doing, what he is saying, what he is desiring. God says, "Look at my wounds. Look at my love for you." That is what is true. That is what is real. We explore the thought of Elder Thaddeus on how our life depends on the kinds of thoughts we nurture.
