Thank you, Fr. Justin, for your invite to listen to your teaching.

Absolutely beautiful information. I’m going to listen faithfully today. Love the quote on the chambers of the heart.

Beautiful teaching. I am a Catholic and I shall remain in this church as I am 70 now and my parents were both faithful Catholics. But I must admit that the Orthodox church and liturgies and sacred artwork, the singing are exceptionally drawing me towards Orthodoxy. I wish I could participate in life - I am really torn.

Dont deprive yourself of the grace of Orthodoxy just because you think yourself to be “set in your ways”. Dont deprive yourself of Eternal Life!

[@ChristopherOlson]

Wherever you see Christ to be truly present, you must surely go. How could we who love Him resist running to wherever He truly is, and to abide in His presence? Don't think of it in only terms of Catholic or Orthodox, but of Christ. You know that what you're sensing is true, so don't hold back. Go to Him, wherever He is to be found.

There’s a woman in my Orthodox parish who’s mother left Catholicism and started attending when she was in her 90s.
