Forpost: the Fortress

Incredible video. No one has any idea how much I needed to see this today. It was a blessing.
Please watch!!

Fr Michael: "If people are trying to scare me: "think about it, you've got more than 140 children, what will you do? We can barely manage with 2, 3 of our own, how do you see their future?" I simply trust in God. I don't think about the hardships because God carries everything on His shoulders. If He knows that we need our daily bread on the table, He gives it to us. If these children need to be fed, clothed, take their medicine on time, and have warmth - He provides everything. If He was giving us everything until today, how can I fear for tomorrow?"

Yes, indeed, really wonderful. A Romanian television made another documentary about father Mihail and his monastery and it was broadcast last year on Pasha. You can watch it here, I'm so sorry it is only in Romanian :

So many touching parts...the boy who is blind and deaf, so happy and loving, with just touch to connect him to the people in the world. ♥ The part when there is no oil and then a man bring oil as a gift to the monastery. Ringing the bells together, the boy without hands, using his teeth. We are alive!!! It is a wonderful blessing. May God help the monks who are fathers, and the nuns who have become mothers to these orphans.
