Lift the embargo on the Syrian people—Patriarch John and Syrian church leaders' cry for help
https://orthochristian.com/150909.html
The leaders “appeal to the conscience of all the people of good will to advocate on behalf of the Syrian in order to put an end to their misery and enable them to live in dignity as envisioned by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” and call on governments and other organizations to send speedy relief to the Syrian people.

Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2. Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: 3. If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

Ezekiel 33:4-5
Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

Hollywood Demonic Deception On Live TV...
They mock God on live TV with demonic and satanic performance
I was shocked to see the demonic and satanic worship at the 2023 grammy's with Maverick City Music, Kirk Franklyn, and the Christians music industry.

Ezekiel 33:6
But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

Forwarded from Quotes from the Holy Fathers
SUCH ARE THE PEOPLE OF CHRIST
...Those who desire to be truly a man of Christ and who hope to obtain eternal blessings are obliged to honor their labors and sorrows with joy with wealth, impute suffering to themselves for rest, a harsh life for pleasure, reproach for honor, insults for glory; because this is the glory of the servants of God who follow their Lord and obey His words.
An ascetic and a soldier of Christ should not only bear reproach, but if wealth also comes across, then it is decent for him to impute it to pus; and if glory and authority, then not to be exalted and not to be arrogant; if praises and honors from people, to honor them undeserved; it is better to say that it is considered glorious, to grieve, and what is dishonest in the world is to rejoice and to have fun... Just as an anvil does not yield to blows and does not print depressions on it, but always remains equal to itself, so whoever wants to be a Christian in various sorrows and temptations (both with external insults inflicted by people, or persecutions, or damages, or the like, and with internal attacks by spirits of malice), let him be himself equal, bravely enduring whatever happens. Having always the Lord as a stronghold, a fence and a pillar of the fortress from the face of the enemy, let Him resort to Him during the battle, if he is in any enemy country, and let him say: wake me, God, in a refuge and in a strong place, save me (cf.: Ps.70,3). In this way he will be able to overcome all the temptations and sorrows encountered, having always before the eyes of the Lord, as well as faith in Him and hope, similar to firm confidence.

Divine Liturgy summary for today
Prodigal son comes back, father forgives him
Brother is not happy because he doesn't see justice served
If God was only after justice, we will all assuredly end up in hell forever..
But God is full of Mercy and in this example Mercy was exercised.
Justice without Mercy is lacking and can lead to great destruction
Mercy without justice is also lacking.
God the Judge of us all and will ensure justice, but thank God for God because He is full of Mercy
"And by grace we are saved"
Repent
All glory be to God
