As kids at Catholic school, the nuns asked us to pray for the conversion of Russia.
It seems like it worked!
Are they now praying for the conversion of the USA?
The infrastructure still seems very third-worldish.
Good on them!
Only goes to show....
Very Good! Amen.
I learned that in Catholic school also. Yes, I hope they return the prayers.
COMPARE AND CONTRAST:
Gee, just maybe this is why Russia is resisting the Globo Homo Empire? Where Ukraine joining NATO was the Russia-destroying battering ram?
Where Disney, Major League Baseball etc etc etc are all promoting “drag your kids to Trans-Homo-Pride??”
Just maybe ya think not everybody wants to turn their daughters into twerking sluts, and their boys into drag queen homos? Just maybe?

AMAZING New Russian Memorial Orthodox Christian Cathedral for Military
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KOCkjEjFhw&t=01s&ab_channel=OrthodoxShahada
2020 This new Cathedral is one of the tallest Cathedrals of the orthodox church. Built just outside Moscow, this Cathedral is a sort of a shrine for Russian Armed Forces. The great Cathedral complex is designed in monumental Russian Revival style. It will be located in the Patriot Park to symbolize spirituality of the Russian Armed Forces that unsheathe the sword only to defend its Fatherland.
Our Lady of Fatima. I think we should return the favor. The Russian people have suffered much in this century. They had Godless communism forced on them. They were attacked by the Nazis and suffered in the gulags. Yes, we should all pray for Russia. We are not enemies.
Beautiful and unashamedly masculine and powerful. I would love to worship in a church building so magnificent.
The Russian people have suffered much. Suffering teaches us good values. The western world has become selfish and Godless. We think in our pride that we do not need God. God forgive us and give us humility. God bless the Russian people and the Ukrainian people too.

Well and truly said and every word of it!
Nice to see.
Blessed Ascension and Pentecost to our Russian Orthodox Brothers and Sisters!!!!
June is an important month in the Orthodox Church! In Russia, there are no “pride” events to spoil it! I pray that this will soon be the case in our beloved America!!!!
It’s great to be proud OF GOD.
