On Thoughts

"When under the pressure of stupid thoughts, we will find relief and joy by rebuking ourselves truthfully and unemotionally, or by confessing everything to the Lord as to a human being. In both these ways we will always find tranquility, whatever troubles us." --St. Hesychius from the Philokalia, Volume One. Quoted from "Christ the Eternal Tao."

I am an Orthodox Christian with an M.A. in Russian Studies, having written my thesis on the Russian Orthodox mission in Alaska. At some point in the future, I would like to do PhD. work on historical cultural interractions between Native Americans and Euro-Americans, focusing on the role of Euro-American and Native American Christian missionaries. I enjoy researching, writing, and sharing what I've discovered with others.

St. John Maximovitch, pray to God for us!

Pray for the repose of the servant of God, Sergei Kourdakov, who was murdered by atheists for speaking the truth about persecuation of Christians in the Soviet Union. Pray that Christ our God give him rest with the Saints and forgiveness of sins. Amen.

God bless you for visiting!

Rejoice, O Virgin Mother of God, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, for thou hast born the Savior of our souls.
