♰♰♰🕯️ A PRAYER FOR PEACE 🕯️ ♰♰♰
Almighty God and Creator, You are the Father of all people on the earth. Guide, I pray, all the nations and their leaders in the ways of justice and peace. Protect us from the evils of injustice, prejudice, exploitation, conflict and war. Help us to put away mistrust, bitterness and hatred. Teach us to cease the storing and using of implements of war. Lead us to find peace, respect and freedom. Unite us in the making and sharing of tools of peace against ignorance, poverty, disease and oppression. Grant that we may grow in harmony and friendship as brothers and sisters created in Your image, to Your honor and praise. Amen

Revelation of John 12:12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Anyone defending the Filioque - reference this verse to them.
Good to know
John 15:26-27
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

Good reflection and statement:
More than anyone, I pray for the Orthodox Christians in Palestine.
The inheritors of the true Israel.
The people who believed in the fulfillment of Judaism with Christ the Messiah.
That established the Church in Jerusalem after the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Christ while Judaism went into irrelevance for hundreds of years.
That had their land sieged by Muslim conquests in the 600's.
That had their Patriarch expelled by Roman Catholic crusades in the 1100's.
That had their land taken from them again by Jewish settlers post-WW2 who were backed by American and British protestants with a terrible theological understanding of the place of Israel and the Jewish people in Christian eschatology.
That now are forced to live as minorities between two people groups, Jews and Muslims, that both equally hate and disdain them.
Yea, it's those people that I'm praying for.

This is "church" for some people
American evangelicals are absolutely insane.. Followers of Christ they are not.. Political useful idiots? 100%
They want to bomb people to build the 3rd temple to "Usher in the 2nd coming"
These people are lunatics and evil and depraved.. That's where you end up when you erase your own history and follow satan

People often do not understand what salvation means, what the Kingdom of God, Heaven mean. That is why such questions as “why just good people don’t go to Heaven” or “I am good enough , I don’t need Church and repentance” arise.
ST. IGNATIUS BRIANCHANINOV explains
“Salvation consists in the restoration of our communion with God.
Unhappy is he who is satisfied with his own human righteousness, for he does not need Christ, Who says of Himself: I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance (Mt. 9:13).”
Obviously we can’t restore our communion with God without God.

I would challenge anyone who supports the state of Israel no matter what they do to watch this video, and to honestly ask themselves what they might be driven to do in response had they been on the receiving end of this. https://youtu.be/pWPijzzinKg?si=GKLb5B_PBP_PvHOv
