https://preview.redd.it/sq9ob43vkq0d1.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=00f9b50b4221afd75c3ba40d6bc078bded8781e1 submitted by Yurii_S_Kh to SophiaWisdomOfGod [link] [comments] Theodosius, whose name means "gift of God," grew up in the small cities of Vasilkov and Kursk where his father was a judge. Although his parents were Christian and gave him an education directed primarily at the study of Scripture, they were astonished to see his heart so completely overtaken by love for God. His father died when Theodosius was 13, and this caused the boy to retreat still further from the world common to one of his age and social rank. He gave away his good clothes, preferring to dress like the poor, and found pleasure in helping the peasants with their work. He often went to church, and when he learned that Divine Liturgy was sometimes not celebrated due to a lack of prosphora, he undertook to bake them himself. His mother loved him dearly, but she did not share her son's life-encompassing Christian outlook; she was very conscious of her social standing and felt that by engaging in such lowly occupations Theodosius brought shame upon the family. She tried cajoling, then threatening and even physically beating him to make him change his ways, but Theodosius stood firmly on the path of the Gospel commandments. His zeal for the things of God inspired Theodosius to slip away with a band of pilgrims bound for the Holy Land. Three days later his mother tracked him down, berated the pilgrims for having taken the boy along, and dragged Theodosius home where she kept him in chains until the youth promised not to leave her again. The humility of the youth and the sufferings he endured at the hands of his mother came to the attention of the governor who requested that the youth attend him in church. This served to calm the domestic drama, but Theodosius' heart yearned for a more concentrated spiritual atmosphere, for monastic life. Standing in church one day, he was struck by the words of the Gospel: "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me." With fixed resolve, he took advantage of his mother's departure into the country for a few days to set out for Kiev, taking with him nothing but some bread for the road. The monks in the established monasteries, however, turned him away because he had no money. Then he heard about the righteous Anthony. Coming to his cave, Theodosius fell to his knees and begged the holy ascetic to accept him. "My son," said Anthony, "you see my cave; it is cramped and dismal, and I fear you will not endure the difficulties of life here." "Know, O blessed father," replied Theodosius. "that God Himself has led me to your holiness that I might find salvation. I shall do all that you enjoin." Foreseeing his future greatness, the blessed Anthony accepted the determined aspirant and bade the priest monk Nikon tonsure him. Theodosius was 23 years old. It was a few years before his distraught mother finally discovered her son’s whereabouts. With great reluctance Theodosius went out to her. At first she vowed that she would die if he did not come home with her. But gradually God softened her heart and she came to see the wisdom of her son's patient admonitions. Following his advice she entered the St. Nicholas convent there in Kiev where she ended her days in peace. https://preview.redd.it/h10jlboxkq0d1.png?width=225&format=png&auto=webp&s=0b0cf8272c80cf80377438120ecc92fb8624389c When Theodosius became abbot, he saw need for a common rule to unite the growing community--which by that time was living above the ground; only a few hermits were left in the caves--and he sent one of his monks to Constantinople to copy out the rule of the Studite Monastery. The rule governed the daily life of the monk: it set the hours of prayer and work; monks were forbidden to have any personal possessions, everything was held in common; all monks were together for common meals: time, apart from prayer, was to be spent in working; all activity was begun with a blessing from an elder and with prayer. The monks were to reveal their thoughts to the abbot, a practice which roused them to constant spiritual vigilance and helped to check manifestations of the passions before they took root in the heart. Above all things, have fervent charity among yourselves (I Peter 4:8). It was St, Theodosius' choice of the Studite Rule, with its emphasis on the duty of charity and the common good, which served to revive the ancient ideal of strict cenobitism and gave Russian monasticism its characteristic warmth. "What is principally necessary," taught Theodosius, "is that the youngest should love their neighbor and listen to their elders with humility and obedience. The elders should lavish on the young love and instruction; they should teach them and comfort them." This attitude created an atmosphere eminently suitable for missionary work, and it was thanks to the monasteries that Christianity was so successfully propagated in Russia. Of a strong constitution, Theodosius was a model of industriousness. Even as abbot, he felled trees, carried water, and ground wheat, often helping the other brethren with their obediences. Once, the cook came to ask if he would assign a monk to cut firewood, as the kitchen supply was depleted. "I am idle," replied the Saint, and he set to chopping wood himself. He worked through the dinner hour and the brethren, when they came out and saw their abbot hard at work, were inspired to do likewise. Knowing the great benefit of good books upon the soul, Theodosius instituted the reading of spiritually profitable texts during meals, and sought to augment the number of such books in the monastery. Books were still a rarity at that time, and one of the valued occupations of the monastery was the copying and binding of manuscripts. Theodosius himself helped in this work. At first, life in the Caves Monastery was very austere indeed. The monks lived principally on rye bread and water with the addition of a few vegetables which they cultivated themselves; they wove their own cloth and sewed their own garments. When the brethren murmured about some deficiency, Theodosius exhorted them to place their trust in the Lord Who knew their needs. And his faith was often miraculously rewarded. The reputation of the monks as 'angels on earth' began attracting pilgrims; princes and peasants ca me for spiritual counsel and left donations. Grand Prince Izyaslav, who became very attached to St. Theodosius and frequently came to visit him, was a great benefactor of the monastery, as also was the Viking Prince Shimon who was baptized into the Orthodox Church together with his entire household, numbering some 3,000 members. With increased mean s, Theodosius was able to build a guest house for pilgrims where the poor and sick also found refuge. No beggar was ever turned away from the monastery without being given a meal. Weekly a cart was sent from the monastery laden with bread to be distributed among those in prison. The Saint's compassion was boundless. Once there were brought to him some robbers who had been apprehended in the act of stealing monastery property. With tears the Saint entreated them to mend their ways. Then, having fed them, he let them go. The robbers were so moved by the Saint's mercy that they repented and became honest, God-fearing men. Like St. Anthony, Theodosius also endured the effects of the princes' quarrels. At the same time he maintained his independence and did not fear risking the displeasure of his royal benefactors if he felt called as a spiritual father to admonish them. When, for example, Svyatoslav unjustly took the throne from Izyaslav, the Saint wrote a strong letter to Svyatoslav, reproving his action and urging him to restore power to his older brother. This angered Svyatoslav, and Theodosius was warned of possible consequences, but he calmly replied: "Nothing could be better for me in this life than to suffer for the sake of the truth." Mindful of the Saint' s popularity, Svyatoslav took no action against him and even went to visit him. He was surprised when Theodosius received him with the respect due to one of authority. "I was afraid you'd be angry with me," said the Prince. "Our duty," replied the Saint, "is to say what is beneficial for the soul's salvation; and you would do well to listen." Although Svyatoslav could not be persuaded to give up the throne and Theodosius continued to commemorate the pious Izyaslav as the lawful ruler, their relationship was peaceful and it was Svyatoslav who gave land for the building of the new stone church. Work had just begun on this church when St. Anthony reposed. Neither did St. Theodosius live to see its completion. It was his custom to retire to a cave for the course of Great Lent, and it was during this time, in 1074, that the Lord revealed to him his imminent departure from this world. On Bright Week, having joyfully celebrated the radiant feast of Pascha in the monastery, he fell ill. Summoning the brethren, he informed them that his time had come, and foretold the very day and hour of his repose. By common consent of the brotherhood, he blessed his disciple Stefan to take his place as abbot, exhorting him not to change the tradition s of the monastery, "but follow in all things the law and our monastic rifle." May 3,1074. The divinely appointed hour arrived and the bright soul of the Saint took leave of its earthly tabernacle. As he had willed, his body was laid to rest in the cave which alone with the angels had witnessed his ascetic labors. Eighteen years after the Saint's blessed repose, the monastery brethren decided to transfer his relics to the new cathedral church. The abbot, together with monk Nestor the chronicler, went to the cave to dig up the relics and discovered them to be incorrupt. Accompanied by a large crowd of people, the relics were solemnly transferred to the Dormition Cathedral on August 14, 1092. And in 1106 Saint Theodosius was added to the list of canonized saints. True to their promise, the holy founders of the Caves Monastery continued to watch over its existence even after their repose. There is, for example, the story written by Bishop Simon (+1226), a former monk of that monastery and principal author of the Kiev Caves Patericorn of how the stone church was completed. Sts. Anthony and Theodosius had been gone from this world some ten years when a group of Greek iconographers came to the Caves Lavra demanding to see the two monks who had hired them to adorn the new church with frescoes. They were rather angry inasmuch as the church standing before them was considerably larger than they had been led to believe and would consequently require more work than was covered by the sum of gold they had received there in Constantinople upon signing the agreement. Abbot Nikon, confessing his ignorance of the matter, asked who it was that had hired them. "Their names were Anthony and Theodosius," "Truly," said the abbot, "I cannot summon them, for they departed this life ten years ago. But as you yourselves testify, they continue to care for this monastery even now." https://preview.redd.it/k3vsiyu1lq0d1.png?width=172&format=png&auto=webp&s=a3408a2561adad1709eba7009c45d9ef7497f068 The Greeks, scarcely believing this possible, called some merchants traveling with them, who had been present at the signing of the agreement, and asked that they be shown an image of the deceased. When this was done the Greeks bowed low, for they recognized in the saints the exact likeness of the two men who had commissioned them to paint the frescoes and given them the gold. Acknowledging the supernatural power of the saints, they decided not to cancel the agreement after all, and set about with heightened inspiration to embellish the church. The iconographers never returned to Constantinople; they became monks and ended their days there in the Caves Monastery. The Dormition Church, rebuilt in 1470, was destroyed in 1941 by an explosion which the Soviets attribute to the Germans. Witnesses, however, state that it was the communists themselves who set delayed action explosives just before the German occupation of the city. Orthodox America |

For dinner ng 2 shihs namin, nagboboil ako ng mixed veggies + chopped chicken livechopped pork liveground pork, sans salt. Ilagay sa pot as bottom layer yung protein, then top with mixed veggies and water, saka pakuluan. submitted by Alternative_Zone3690 to dogsofrph [link] [comments] For this batch, sayote + repolyo + pechay baguio + carrots yung veggies. Every batch I make lasts (approx) a week. Come dinner time nila, maglalagay muna ko sa dog bowls ng konting kibble, then yung boiled veggies + konti nung veggie broth, enough to soften the kibble. I'll then sprinkle a bit of food topper bago i-mix lahat and ibigay sa kanila. For reference, I added pics of the kibble and the food topper, too. Hope you can try this for your furbabies. 🥰 Any choice of mixed veggies depende sa availability and preference nyo, as long as safe for the dogs. |
2024.05.16 07:26 ConstantSpread7 Communicate with ATmega microcontroller (Arduino Wifi project)
I'm working on a project involving a board for a Pentair Water Softener. This board stores various settings about the softener's capacity, water hardness, and tracks water usage in gallons. Based on this data, it calculates when to run the softener through a recycle process by incrementally powering a motor that moves a valve to backflush, pull brine (saltwater), and rinse the filter. submitted by ConstantSpread7 to embedded [link] [comments] I want to add WiFi capability to this device so that I can monitor water usage, adjust settings, and receive alerts during backwash cycles. I've removed the board and identified that it uses an ATMega329PA Microcontroller. I've also noticed several pin holes and purchased pin headers, which I've already soldered onto these locations. Using a multitester, I've successfully identified that the interface on the far left is JTAG, while the four pins underneath the supercapacitor are a USART. If you zoom in on the picture, you can see where I've labeled the TCK, TDO, TMS, TDI, and GND connections for JTAG, and the GND, RXD, TXD, and VCC connections for USART. My background is in software development, and I've been going through the 900-page white paper on the controller, which has provided me with some information. I have several questions:

I am a licensed full specialist so I have access to professional grade products. submitted by butter_cakes to FancyFollicles [link] [comments] I am unfortunately in a tight financial situation so I had to stop getting my hair done professionally. I am too embarrassed to ask my hair girl for advice on how to do it myself 😔 I have high-iron well water which causes my hair to turn brassy fast, even when using a full home softening system, shower head filter, and high quality toning shampoos (olaplex, pulp riot, amika, redken, I’ve tried them all) This photo was taken after doing the following treatment: Malibu un-do goo shampoo Malibu C hard water wellness treatment Malibu hard water wellness shampoo Pureology strength cure superfood treatment I am looking for a tone gloss which I can apply at home to help tone down my brassiness. I do not want to use bleach, as I’m not confident I won’t mess it up. I was browsing Salon Centric and Redken shades EQ caught my eye… but truly I am willing to take any and all brand suggestions. My natural color seems to be about a level 6 (I think?), so I need advice on which shade/ level to choose in order to tone out some of this brassiness and get me to a more neutral blonde - if that’s even possible. |

2024.05.16 02:43 AlexROSMAR Is this fin rot? What is the best way to treat it?
Hello. Im concern for my betta since his fins are looking frayed and not as vibrant as when bought. I'm thinking it's fin rot but I am confused about it because: 1. I have read that the most common reason is poor water conditions. However I perform regular water changes (about 50% every 10 days or so), and when I always check the water parameters with a test kit they are always within the perfect range. 2. Most of the fin rot tales I have read include descriptions of the fish being lethargic, not eating, hiding, sitting at the bottom of the tank. This little guy does none of that. He swins around happily, he eats his food, he gets curious and happy when someone comes close to the tank. So...he is not exhibiting any signs of illness besides the visual look of the fins. submitted by AlexROSMAR to bettafish [link] [comments] Could it be the natural aging process?? He is 9 months old (plus his age when bought). He lives in a 2.5 gallon tank, his water is a mixture of purified water and distilled water (the first time I used just purified water it was too hard. The hardness on the parameters read too high, so I add distilled water to soften it up a bit). I also add with every water change a product called "betta water revival" that adds all the minerals that purified and distilled water lacks. I also add a product for beneficial bacteria. He has a filter. He doesn't have a heater since where I live it's pretty hot most of the time anyway (caribbean). He eats just pellets, he ignores all blood worms and daphnias and the sort. His food is "Ultra Fresh Betta Pro Shrimp Patties". I also tried a product called "bettafix" that is supposed to fix fin rot but it didn't do anything. Any thoughts?? |
