Hidden Mickey

I bought this small icon of St. Nicholas of Japan when we visited Smolensk. I saw the real, full-size icon a few months ago.

“Alabadle por sus proezas… Señor de las potestades, quédate con nosotros.” “Praise Him for His mighty acts… O Lord of Hosts, be with us.” Chanted by Patrick Haddad 📿

Hebrews 12:28-13:8 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. Remember the prisoners as if chained with them-those who are mistreated-since you yourselves are in the body also. Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may boldly say: "The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

New Martyr Euthymios of Peloponnesos (1814) "Strengthened by long years of ascetical labours, thou didst endure the pangs of martyrdom steadfastly, O glorious Athlete Euthymios. For thou didst hasten to renounce error while holding the Cross and palm branches in thy hands. And with these thou dost stand crowned and rejoicing in Christ's presence."

@ManassehRJones This doesn’t mean never contradict her but do it in love. Jesus’s teaching on how to handle authority is clear. St Paul’s teaching for husbands even clearer. Matthew 20:25-28 Ephesians 5:25-33
