My patron saint! O holy St. Mark, well-pleasing to God, we fervently entreat you, who are the sure help and intercessor for our souls, pray to God Almighty for us. Amen.

[@ChildofGod315]

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you today asking for your blessings as a single mom. I’m raising my children with strength and courage, despite the challenges I face with my sons being autistic. Lord as I struggle to pay my rent every month and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. I ask that you bless me with your wisdom and guidance, as I navigate parenthood on my own heal my lupus and heart disease and continue to give me strength to keep going so I may watch my sons grow into men. ❤

[@kaybeekal]

Amen!

☦Thank you Father Peter Heers. Are you standing on the grounds of a new church? We certainly need more of them in America.

[@LadyMaria]

It's beautiful. I love the woods.

[@KyleNewsom-v8x]

In Oklahoma we have around 5 churches in Oklahoma city and a monestary connected to elder amilianos spiritual children although that monestary seems to be slandered by some of the parishes but the monks love them☦️

[@QSD22]

What really??? So I'm actually looking for an Orthodox Church near Medicine Park or Elgin.

[@KyleNewsom-v8x]

@@QSD22 there are quite a few in Illinois

[@yourneighbour3309]

love this! Thank You Fr Peter Heers

[@KINGOFGLORY-40]

Fr. Peter Heers, can you please make a video explaining everything we ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS need to know about the Coptic Christians and if we can mix with them? Thank you and GOD BLESS You+++

[@pdballerina]

Thank you, Father. This is very encouraging 🙏

Contribution of the St. Mark of Ephesus is obvious. What is less known is the fact that at the time of St. Mark and gathering in Florence, reps of Serbian Orthodox Church were not present. King of Serbia did not send any legates as he knew what is about to happen... outcome is that ever since Vatican did not forget and forgive Serbians for not coming... hence in later centuries numerous atrocities against Serbian Orthodox people took place by the hands of the Catholics blessed by the Popes.

[@Imitatinghim]

croatian genocide of 800,000 serbians, the catholic church road on the coat tails of the ustashe and forcefully converted thousands and killed others who did not convert, the archbishop that lead this atrocity was beatified by the vatican and is on his way to sainthood. may we never forget it

St. Mark of Ephesus, a true servant of our Lord.

[@LadyMaria]

The gates of hades shall not prevail as Christ God promised. St. Mark of Ephesus was the instrument of God to stop an unholy union.

[@DanicusRex-m1m]

I'm grateful that, if the latins and some orthodox do unite, the actions of this current pope (gay union blessings, abrahamic family house, destruction of the traitional latin mass) should make it obvious that we shouldn't follow along.

[@FideiDefensatrix]

John Plousiadenos remarked that Mark of Ephesus died spewing his bowels up as punishment for denying the filioque, similar to Arius expelling his bowels for denying Jesus' divinity.

Algorithm boost.

[@SaltShack]

St. Cyril’s opinion on Christology or any other matter isn’t the only factor to consider just as no other saints opinion about anything is the beginning and end of any issue or matter of theology. Doing so narrows the Church, history and Christ to limiting elements of only one mind. That is Roman Catholicism in a nutshell which gives that authority in trust to the Papacy. 12 Apostles, dozens of disciples and Hundreds of Saints Martyrs, priests and Bishops have through the Holy Spirits inspiration combined to all have allowed us our infant like understanding of God and Christ. It’s the Heresy of Protestantism selectively harvesting Scripture to justify this or that. I don’t mean to diminish the extraordinary role of St. Cyril on the Body of Christ but we must avoid elevating any single Character other than Christ for risk of diminishing all the other voices of the Saints and the Apostles themselves as it’s the resounding and enduring voices of the many that is pleasing to the Holy Spirit.

And do not call anyone on earth your father; for only One is your Father, He who is in heaven. Matt 23:9

[@whitenoise1620]

Not a fan. I pray that one day the schism will be healed and the church will finally be united as one again

[@troyspiller]

Sometimes union is just a simple attempt to have unity. The Orientals, Orthodox, and Catholics need to seek unity for Christs sake.

[@Orthodocks]

Or the orientals and Catholics need to repent and come to the true church

[@LadyMaria]

We can't compromise on the Faith.

[@TheOnlyNathaniel]

May Christ use your own standards against you on the day of judgement. I recommend watching Sam Shamouns latest guest series on Christology. Unity is possible while preserving the apostolic faith but the hearts of man are stone and intellectual pride flairs.

[@josephk4310]

There can be no compromise with Satan/Roman Catholic Church..... Lord Jesus ☦️ Christ, have mercy upon us, Amen.
