Grappler with God. Lover of Jesus. Perpetual Truth seeker. Servant. Husband. I will settle for nothing less than more of you, God. ♱ Orthodox Christian ♱
You can’t tell me Orthodoxy isn’t the fullness of the faith.
I can see it in their eyes.
The sober joy of their demeanor.
Weighty burden made light— sustained by the easy yoke of Christ.
I look in their faces and see the Christ living through them ☧
Glory to God ☦︎
Just a reminder that St. John the Baptist was both the perfect picture of the monastic life and the evangelistic life. He was perpetually secluded. Fasted. Unkept and untidy. Extreme asceticism. The people flocked to him. Many thought he was mad. Truly monastic and evangelical.
