Baptize your children . OO, ACoE, EO, and RC all baptize ours. Always have. Don't wait for a profession of faith. Just do it!.
@WassonWatch To be accurate to Demon lore from the originators, the Catholics, the boy sounds baptized, which means demons can only influence but not possess him. The picture illustrates my point by depicting a demon in the mirror influencing him, rather than possessing him.

BOOM!.Why the Devil 😡 Mary (so much) - because of her obedience, his reign of death is over. Why we 😍 her (so much) - because she is Christ our God's mother & the model Christian .🙏♱❤️.#Luke1v38.#Theotokos.#MotherofGod

This Pope St Cyril VI story with Elvis Presley is one of the coolest, funniest saint stories ever 😂.#PopeKyrillosVI .#Elvis .@AAAAAAAAAAracis @AUGUSTINUSMAXIM.
@cyrilmatthai @rachelpaiigedav Glad to hear that ppl today are familiar w him. My mother would sit on his lap and pull on his beard and my grandparents would be so embarrassed and yell at her to stop immediately and he'd tell them it's ok and to let her have her fun. As a teenager, she loved Elvis Presley.

Fr Ibrahim shares how God chose Pope St Kyrillos VI. He lived the Gospel. His life was an act of prayer. It wrought miracles. He was humble and a friend to the communion of saints, devoted to daily liturgy and sacraments. He glorified God in life and death .🙏♱❤️. End of thread

🧵7/7.In the eyes of many men, you died like all men die, confirming the vanity and futility of earthly life. But in the eyes of God, your death was the moment of a new, truer, and more potent life, an eternal partnership with Him Who makes all things new.

🧵5/7.In the eyes of many men, you relied on superstitious invocations of saints and angels as a deflection of your own insufficiency. But in the eyes of God, you were the beloved of those in Heaven, and they eagerly supported and defended their friend.

Friendly reminder. Without #SemiticChristianity, there would have been no #Christianity and everyone else would still be pagan #OrientalOrthodox .❤️♱🙏. @SubDeaconDaniel thanks for that line. When I watched you say it, I thought, "Duh!🙄".
@RC_UTSA @StevenP30730282 @CatholicCassie think of themselves as the church's 'two lungs'. Maybe, but there is no doubt that Semitic Christianity is the very heart of the Church. Without it, there's no Greek, Latin, or Protestant church. Our Church is no one's weak sister. If anything, it is Christianity's mother. 21/21.

One of my own favorite defenses of the Church - 21 points long. In case anyone needs any handy reminders when people dismiss us or preach against us. #OrientalOrthodox.
@RC_UTSA @StevenP30730282 @CatholicCassie Weak sister? in what way - that's strange. In terms of money, numbers, buildings, what? We don't have that bro culture among the OO. Except for very rare exceptions you can count on having a civil conversation with us.

🧵4/7.In the eyes of many men, you lacked the human capacity for planning, organizing, and managing the Church's affairs. But in the eyes of God, by your limitless humility, you provoked Him to act in your stead, accomplishing what was impossible by mere human effort.

🧵3/7.In the eyes of many men, you wasted your time in repetitive praises, empty liturgical rites, and desert escapism. But in the eyes of God, you knew how to secretly and quietly procure divine grace from all its hidden sources.

🧵2/7.In the eyes of many men, you were considered ignorant at best, and at worst, a sorcerer and charlatan. But in the eyes of God, you were the living Gospel and the ambassador of His power and strength among a weak generation.
