Lord have mercy on your servant Doris, lay your healing hand upon her, restore her to health and vigor that she might glorify your all honorable and majestic name.
St. Luke, pray for her!
I understand Pope Francis' desire to do something but given the ecumenical issues at play here wouldn't it make more sense to entrust Russia and Ukraine to the protection of the Theotokos anew without the immaculate heart bit?
Lord have mercy on Your servant, Archbishop Paul, heal him and restore him to health and vigor that he might rise again to praise and glorify Your Holy Name!
If you do a quick search I'm pretty sure there are a few threads on the toll houses on the forum because I remember getting into the weeds on the issue when I was a catechumen 10 years ago or so.
I was told by someone once when I was a catechumen that the only appropriate tattoo for an Orthodox person to get was a pilgrims tattoo from the Holy Land. I don't know where she got that but I've since met plenty of Orthodox folks who have tattoos so 🤷♂️
Glory to God that she's home. May the Divine Physician continue to lay His healing and on her and may St. Luke and all the Holy Physicians hold her before God's throne in prayer.
