YouTube video by SaintInnocentOrthodoxChurch Fr John's Homily on Faith

“Faith is not a supposition that something might be true.
Faith is the assurance that Someone is there.”

Come listen to Fr John's homily on Faith:
based on Matthew 17:14-23
(Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy)
and on the Life of Saint John Chrysostom

Tammy, it says I can't message you, so I put this here. There's something going on on your site: I can access today's review, but NOT your Sunday post. It keeps trying to load, and then gives me error codes. I have tried several times

In my Calibre library of Christopher Bush ebooks from @deanstpress.bsky.social 3-4 don’t fit this week’s #MurderEveryMonday theme, but happily that does leave a few others that do crossexaminingcrime.wordpress.com/murdereverym...
