St. Gregory Palamas on the Holy Spirit
The Hetoimasia (Preparation) of the Throne, with the depiction of the Holy Spirit (source)
He is not just everywhere, but also
above all, not just in every age and time, but before them all. And,
according to the promise, the Holy Spirit will not just be with us
until the end of the age, but rather will stay with those who are
worthy in the age to come, making them immortal and filling their
bodies as well with eternal glory, as the Lord indicated by telling
His disciples, "I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever" (John
14:16).

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!

"Drink Holy Water, the more often, the better. It is the best and most effective medicine. I'm not saying this as a priest, I'm saying it as a doctor, from my medical experience."
-St. Luke the Surgeon, Archbishop of Simferopol

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
