Broadly speaking, Catholics and Orthodox believe that Mary gave birth to Jesus without the ordinary pains of labor, since those pains are associated with the curse of sin. Catholics often connect this with Mary’s preservation from original sin, while the Orthodox affirm the mira…

I have received harsh reactions when I make comments about my spiritual experiences. When we have the gift of spirit discernment, we can identify demons in people, places and the Holy Spirit shows you what is hidden also in the media, movies, games etc. We also can feel things i…
