"Then I'll hand myself over to love, since that purifies, and serves to expiate. He who loves doesn't have any other will but that of the Beloved; then I desire to do Jesus' Will. He who loves is sacrificed. I want to sacrifice myself entirely. I don't want to gratify myself in any way. I want to immolate myself constantly to become like the One who suffered for me and loves me. Love obeys with answering back. Love is faithful. Love doesn't vacillate. Love is the bond of union between two souls. For love, I will fuse myself with Jesus." (St. Teresa of the Andes, diary)

A visit to Medjugorje - documentary by Natasha Beliaeva - 2010 A visit to Medjugorje - documentary by Natasha Beliaeva This video tracks a young woman from Russia who visits Medjugorje with no expectations. She visits not as a believer in the visions, but as an observer. This is the most complete immersion experience into Medjugorje I have seen. Among the highlights; 1. ascent up cross mountain 2. testimonies by members of community Cenacolo 3. talk by Fr. Svet 4. visit to "the Castle" (retreat house for priests and religious, owned by Patrick and Nancy Latta). 5. testimony of ex-drug addict I thought the tour guides in this video were particularly helpful to this young woman; in sharing the true spirit of Medjugorje. ---------------------------------------------------------------- *note, this is a mirror from the original Vimeo video by Natasha Beliaeva, here: vimeo.com/18239098 Original video description: "We are ("two or three"), friends from Russia, Ukraine and Hungary made this …More

Choirs in Moscow. In Moscow, about 15 choirs attended the children’s festival of spiritual singing, which was held at the OrthodoxSvyato-Tikhonovsky University of Humanities. This Festival marks a very important stage in the revival and development of the spiritual tradition of choral singing in Russia, because the tradition had been severely interrupted during the Soviet period. "The spirit of unity is the spark which skips between two people from heart to heart. Not from any organization leading with its political plans. This is free-spoken knowledge, recognition of man, recognition of his spirit, of his faith. This knowledge is synonymous with the act of living itself". During the 15 years of its existence the Orthodox Svyato-Tikhonovsky University has made a lot of friends in Russia and abroad. They communicate news of their events with Orthodox and non-orthodox Christians, in order to serve the enrichment of each others belief. Thus, people come to know each other in the Faith. …More

Organ Festival in Moscow. In early July in the Catholic Cathedral in Moscow, the second festival-competition of young organists, SOLI DEO GLORIA, was opened. The festival was organized by the Charitable Fund "Art of Good", which supports young musicians in the performing of spiritual music. The chief organist at the Vatican, Gianluca Libertucci, was invited to Moscow to be the chairman of the panel of judges. About 10 participants from Russia, Ukraine, and Armenia took part in the festival. The panel was composed of professors from France, Poland, Russia, and Austria. "I was really surprised by the very high standard of these young people, which I really did not expect. Clearly the Russian organ school is one of the best in the world. They are very promising young men and women, and I'm sure that in a few years some of them will be known on an international level and will win some very important competitions." Gianluca thinks that there is one very important aspect not to forget: that …More
