The August 2012 issue of "The Shepherd" and the calendar insert for August are now posted on the Brotherhood website: <www.saintedwardbrotherhood.org>
Pray for us as we enter the fast of the Dormition.
With love in Christ,
Fr Alexis, sinner
The correspondence with "J.P.O" is confusing. But the crux of the response is very important. This is the perspective we need to have – we need to remember what Christ told us "must come to pass". And at the same time we must forsake chiliastic ideas of working towards or seeing any kind of soundly Orthodox oasis on earth.
ReplyDeleteThe Church in heaven is already very big in numbers of souls, having doubled in size in the past century... Now twice as many saints are praying for us who are left still on earth. The Church on earth is just a scattered few, and becoming even invisible to the eyes of the world.
