The Holy and Great Martyr George The Holy and Great Martyr George Once, when he heard in a court the inhuman sentence concerning the annihilation of Christians, St. George became inflamed with compassion for them. Foreseeing that sufferings were also awaiting him, George distributed his property to the poor, freed his slaves, appeared before Diocletian and, having revealed himself as a Christian, denounced him for cruelty and injustice. George " s speech was full of powerful and convincing objections against the imperial order to persecute Christians.

| Venerable Anthony of Iezerul-Vilcea Skete Commemorated on November 23 Saint Anthony the Hesychast was born in the sub-Carpathian Mountains of Vilcea county in Romania, and he loved Christ from his early childhood. He knew many ascetics who lived as hesychasts, and they had a profound effect upon his life. He received the monastic tonsure at the Iezerul Skete, where he lived for several years as a young man. In 1690, after he had gained experience in the ascetical life, the igumen blessed him to live as a solitary on Mt Iezerul. There he lived in a small cave, glorifying God and struggling against demons. Only real hesychasts know what great temptations and trials face those who wish to live as solitaries. Saint Anthony labored for three years digging a chapel out of the cliffside with his own hands. He would work during the day, and keep vigil by night. When the chapel was finished, it was consecrated by Bishop Hilarion of Rimnicu Vilcea. Saint Anthony prayed there unceasingly, reading the daily services and making hundreds of prostrations. A hieromonk from the Skete would come from time to time to celebrate the Divine Liturgy on Feast Days and during the fasts. Saint Anthony’s holy life became known throughout the region, and many of the clergy and laity flocked to him for spiritual advice or consolation in sorrows. He received them with love, gave them the help they needed, and sent them home in peace. Through his influence, a genuine spiritual revival took place in sub-Carpathian Oltenia. Saint Anthony fell asleep in the Lord in 1714 after twenty-five years of spiritual struggles. His disciples mourned him, and buried him beside his small chapel. The faithful still go there to light candles and to pray, seeking his blessing and assistance. Saint Anthony the Hesychast was glorified by the Orthodox Church of Romania in 1992. Troparion — Tone 8 With the streams of your tears you cultivated the barrenness of the desert;/and by your deep sighs, you bore fruit a hundredfold in your labors./You became a luminary, shining upon the world with miracles./O our righteous Father Anthony, intercede with Christ God that our souls be saved!

| 3. The Patriarchate of Antioch avoids controversial manners of speaking, and draws attention to two important points: A. To accuse the Patriarchate of Antioch of ethnocentricity is certainly untruthful and disingenuous. The Patriarchate of Antioch simply says to all peoples: " Come and see. " This assertion testifies to the openness of the Antiochian Church, and to the equality among its believers, and the diversity that characterizes the Antiochian ministry throughout world. B. The Patriarchate of Antioch has been accused, among other allegations, that it has renounced “the agreement of Athens.” The Patriarchate of Jerusalem has called " the Ecumenical Patriarchate, and Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs” to witness to this fact. In Response to this, the Patriarchate of Antioch asks for the permission of the most holy Father the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to quote his Protocol No. 943 dated November 12, 2013. The Ecumenical Patriarch himself is a guarantor in explaining everything: As Your Beatitude, kyr kyr John, has come to realize and assess, we, the Ecumenical Patriarchate, in our mediocrity, have issued many repeated attempts to address the problem at hand. This problem has arisen suddenly and without warning—so we have made many appeals to our brother, His Beatitude, kyr Theophilos, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, in the following vein: that he not continue on any further in his action to ordain the one whom they call archbishop-elect … Unfortunately, Your Beatitude, contrary to all the counsels of the Ecumenical Patriarchate which are fraternal and sought after, and for the sake of the common pan-Orthodox good, and the sacred tradition of the Church, and even against Your own personal appeals, the patriarchate of Jerusalem has gone forward in ordaining and establishing the archbishop in question … 10 августа 2015 г.

| For three days no one was permitted to take down the body of the martyr, and a column of cloud protected it from birds and beasts of prey. A church was later built on the hill where the holy martyrs suffered. The trinity of venerable passion bearers glorified the true God worshipped in the Holy Trinity, Father and Son and Holy Spirit. The church was dedicated to the Most Holy Trinity. The altar table was built on the stump of the sacred oak on which the martyrs died. Soon their relics were found to be incorrupt. In 1364 Patriarch Philotheus of Constantinople (1354-1355, 1364-1376) sent a cross with the relics of the holy martyrs to Saint Sergius of Radonezh (September 25). The Church established the celebration of all three martyrs on April 14. The holy martyrs were of immense significance for all the Western frontier. Vilnius’s monastery of the Holy Trinity, where the holy relics are kept, became a stronghold of Orthodoxy on this frontier. In 1915 during the invasion of the Germans, these relics were taken to Moscow. The relics of the holy passion-bearers were returned to the Vilnius Holy Spirit monastery in 1946. The commemoration of their return (July 13) is solemnly observed at the monastery each year. Troparion — Tone 4 You who have rejected earthly honor and glory,/Valiant and honorable combatants,/You firmly and courageously suffered torments for the faith,/You have died for the life of all for the Master./Therefore Christ also gloriously encircles you with a cloud column from heaven/And honors and crowns you with crowns from the throne of glory:/Standing before Him with the angels, pray to save our souls. Kontakion — Tone 3 Released from the fatherly delusions O Saints, you were led to Christ:/By the diligence of all your souls you put human cleverness to death./And so attaining the victory of true honor,/Unceasingly pray to our Master for us all.

| God is Where There is Humility. From the spiritual instructions of Elder Arsenie (Papacioc)/Православие.Ru God is Where There is Humility. From the spiritual instructions of Elder Arsenie (Papacioc) Archimandrite Arsenie (Papacioc), was one of the oldest and most respected of the elders still living in Romania. He was a representative of that golden pleiade of Romanian spiritual fathers of the twentieth century who have no equal in their fervency of faith, and experience in asceticism in the austere conditions of an uninhabited desert. He is like an abba of the ancient patericons, possessing experience combined with spiritual wisdom, a refined understanding of the secrets of the human soul, and a remarkable literary gift. Elder Arsenie labored in asceticism in the impenetrable forests of the Romanian mountains, together with Fr. Cleopa (Ilie), was persecuted by the god-hating authorities, and was imprisoned for his faith. He was the father-confessor of the monastery of St. Mary in Tekigroul, near Constanci. The wise Romanian elder, who would have turned 97 on August 11, 2011, reposed in the Lord on July 19, 2011. The following questions were asked of the elder by Archimandrite Ioannichie (Balan; 1930–2007)—a talented spiritual writer and poet, author of the Romanian Patericon, and co-ascetic and biographer of Elder Cleopa (Ilie). Elder Arsenie (Papacioc) —Fr. Arsenie, tell us, how can we be saved from our many earthly cares, so that we might have more time for prayer ? —Fr. Ioannichie, pure prayer from the heart and lips to God is a great work! Prayer is a sharp arrow that all the saints have aimed at heaven for thousands of years, and not only they, but also the simplest Christians. Prayer has pierced the heart of the heavens, perhaps it has reached those who were displeased with the earth " s inhabitants, and salvific replies have returned along the same path; thus was faith preserved on earth from generation to generation. Brother Christian, you also have your own history: you have entered into the great Christian union—the Church—and are forever redeemed by the Savior " s sacrifice. That means that you are of great worth, and you have a great and noble responsibility. Is it so difficult for each of us to simply and directly ask God to help us in our troubles and sufferings, and to thank Him?! |
| Syrian Catholic Archbishop Jacques Behnan Hindo revealed that negotiators had managed to explain to IS forces that asking for 23 million dollars to free 230 people was an impossible sum, and claimed that IS had decided to ask for " much, much less, " though he did not share the precise amount. " Therefore, now, the biggest obstacle regarding the release of our Assyrian brothers is no longer money, but the difficulty of how to organize the phase of liberation, " Hindo said at the time. The Catholic Archbishop even suggested that buses were being organized to collect the hostages and bring them back to Hassaké. The terror group, which has been persecuting Christians and other religions minorities across Iraq and Syria, has released small groups of hostages it kidnapped from Khabur, but is still holding the vast majority of people it took captive. IS has specifically targeted Assyrians, looking to drive them out of their millennia-old communities. Last week, IS released a video showing the executions of three of the hostages, which drew condemnation from persecution watchdog groups, such as A Demand for Action. " We condemn this latest act of barbarism in the strongest possible terms. The systematic ethno-religious cleansing of Assyrians/Syriacs/Chaldeans continues. They are helpless. They are children. They are women. They are somebody " s father and brother, " wrote A Demand for Action spokesperson Diana Yaqco. " We plea and beg of the international community to intervene immediately, " Yaqco added. " We have been driven out of our ancestral lands. We have been killed and crucified. The international community must act now to save lives of others kidnapped. " 13 октября 2015 г. Оценка: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Предыдущий Следующий Смотри также “To remain Christians.

| - " that orthodox people don’t have to be in agreement regarding everything just the articles of faith " - I do agree that people should have their opinion and must not accept things blindly, but when very respected reprsentatives of The Orthodox Church express their view and disagreement to what has happent to Fr. Ephrem, my personal opinion is that we have to be careful when expressing our judgement against father Ephrem despite our personal, often misleading, thoughts. - " As for Michael Lewis’ book “Boomerang: " - no one will ever know if Michael Lewis wrote truth or lie in this book; majority books are written in order to gain profit and that is the cold truth of the life.

| Holy Hierarch Ioane of Khakhuli, Also Called Chrysostom (10th–11th centuries) Memory 10 (23) March In the second half of the 10th century King Davit Kuropalates founded Khakhuli Monastery in the historical region of Tao, at the gorge of the Khakhuli River, where it joins the Tortumi River. Once famed for its holiness and academic activity, today Khakhuli Monastery is a Turkish possession and has become a tourist site. Nevertheless, the Georgian nation continues to be illumined by its grace and the radiance of the Georgian faithful who labored there. A contemporary of King Bagrat III (975–1014), St. Ioane of Khakhuli was a highly educated theologian, translator, and calligrapher. He has been called “Chrysostom” since he, like the beloved archbishop of Constantinople, delivered his sermons with extraordinary eloquence. Some sources claim that St. Ioane was first consecrated bishop of Bolnisi and later transferred to the Khakhuli diocese. It is generally agreed, however, that he left Khakhuli around the year 1019 and traveled to Mt. Athos with Arsen of Ninotsminda and Ioane Grdzelisdze. One Georgian manuscript, however, suggests that St. Ioane was not a bishop at that time, and this has baffled Church historians to this day. In this manuscript it is written: “Pray for the blessed monk Ioane Grdzelisdze and his spiritual son Ioane Chrysostom, who labored to write this holy book.” While laboring on Mt. Athos, St. Ioane faithfully assisted St. Ekvtime of the Holy Mountain, and these spiritual brothers became close friends. The countless good works he performed from the bishop’s throne, the title “Chrysostom,” and the many important writings accredited to him attest to the piety, wisdom, and patriotism of St. Ioane of Khakhuli. It is written in The Life of Giorgi of the Holy Mountain that St. Ioane reposed on Mt. Athos. Through thy works, labors, prayers, and fasting thou hast found rest in the majestic and heavenly kingdom, O Holy Father Ioane. We beseech thee to intercede with Christ our God, that He have mercy on our souls! Archpriest Zakaria Machitadze 24 марта 2008 г. ...
