For my friend who's considering conversion
« on: May 18, 2014, 07:50:52 PM »
A friend of mine went to the Holy Virgin Cathedral in San Francisco today and must've had a heck of a religious experience because she just texted me and said she's going to look into Orthodoxy now. Apparently she had such an overwhelming feeling of "being home" in the cathedral that she wept! She's very, very Catholic so I'm surprised but really happy for her. Please pray that she will find the truth in Orthodoxy and be converted!

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
                           and both come out of your mouth
