Psalms 2:11-12
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Firefox = Evil


Mozilla has turned Evil, Firefox is no longer a good private browser. The opposite in fact. They will now sell your private data.

Uninstall Firefox and go for either Brave or maybe Librefox

Mozilla has lost it's way. Thunderbird is also under the cross hair. Alternatives will be proposed soon.

“Much effort and labor is needed, for a man to be changed and to be the good tree that brings forth good fruit. Strive, then, for nothing else but to change, renew, and correct yourself. And pray for this...”
St. Tikhon of Zadonsk

Spiritual life in Orthodox understanding is not about getting some high emotions. Based on the Holy Scriptures, the Patristing interpretations and Holy Tradition, we know that Orthodox spirituality is expressed through prayer, worship, Sacraments, and grows through hardships….. for “narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Mt,7,14)

Psalms 4:1-2
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 2. O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

The Great Lent started. And we again and again bring to our mind why we do it.
Church teachers explain one of the reasons.
“It is in one's personal effort to eradicate evil and to implant good that the essence of Christian struggle or asceticism lies. One must coerce oneself in every way, constrain oneself to refrain from every type of evil, and compel oneself to every good. Unseen warfare is impossible without one's own efforts.”

Psalms 4:3-4
But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him. 4. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Each time we start to doubt and be torn between sin or right thing to do, when we have a wish to avoid fasting or give in to “just a little sin which is barely a sin”, it is good to remember the following words and ask ourselves the following questions.
“These labors, which are such a burden to me and are so unaccustomed and vexing for me, will not last forever. They will end with my earthly life. And is earthly life long, even if it lasts a hundred years? All of eternity is the reward for life on earth, if it is spent in obedience to the Lord God. How can I not work diligently and wholeheartedly?”
Metropolitan Gregory (Postnikov) of St. Petersburg

Psalms 4:5-6
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord. 6. There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

The Final Judgement

Psalms 4:7-8
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. 8. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.

"Don’t worry too much about how spiritually poor you are—God sees that, but for you it is expected to trust in God and pray to Him as best you can, never to fall into despair, and to struggle according to your strength. If you even begin to think you are spiritually “well off”—then you can know for sure that you aren’t! True spiritual life, even on the most elementary level, is always accompanied by suffering and difficulties. Therefore you should rejoice in all your difficulties and sorrows."
