Because we became self centered cowards interested in sex, food, gambling, and narcotics, all to the extreme.
We will be taken over from within.
Unless of course we survive till Cruz.
Even then, he will have some fight on his hands. I’l be there to help him.
Even then, what can we do. Send in more troops? Air support would help. I dont know...

Our president us supporting Islamic terrorist groups in Syria that not only attack Syrian troops but they burn Churches, kill Christians and support ISIS. Our President has turned his back on God and supports Islam

“We expect Christians in the West to help us. They do not,”

Unfortunately, we’ve got a president named barack Hussein Obama. I wouldn’t expect much help.

Maybe if the Biishop of Rome spoke about it more and called the other Christians to the plight of the Syrians. Well you know he is too busy making headlines for the dispossessed and down trodden that he has forgotten those being decapitated and exterminated. Much like the popes during the Holocaust and Armenian genocide, he is fiddling like Nero. Will historians judge him for neglect or praise him for being the “different” pope?

I think we should help them.

The West is doing a lot more for mussies than the mussies themselves.

Short of sending money, how can Christians help? We are almost forbidden to travel to Syria and our president, well the feckless one is another matter. Prayers, anything else?

Prayer for Peace in Syria   

 

God of Compassion, 

Hear the cries of the people of Syria, 

Bring healing to those suffering from the violence, 

Bring comfort to those mourning the dead, 

Strengthen Syria’s neighbors in their care and welcome for refugees, 

Convert the hearts of those who have taken up arms, 

And protect those committed to peace.   

 

God of Hope, 

Inspire leaders to choose peace over violence and to seek reconciliation with enemies, 

Inspire the Church around the world with compassion for the people of Syria, 

And give us hope for a future of peace built on justice for all.   

We ask this through Jesus Christ,  Prince of Peace and Light of the World, 

Amen. 

 

From Anonymous:

Father God, Our Savior and King,

We come to You in despair over the evil being done to our Middle East Christian brothers and sisters. We ask that You would put Your hand of protection upon them and that You would sustain them as You did the Israelites in the desert. Lord, cause our brothers and sisters to cry out to You for help and show them the peace that only You can give in answer to their needs. In their darkest moments, Lord, keep them, strengthen them, and comfort them. When they despair that no one is coming to help them, Lord, reveal Your glory and restore their souls.

We ask you these things in the blessed name of Your precious son, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

[Kolokotronis]

Every Sunday we hear these stories from the pulpit and from our fellow parishoners who have family over there. I spent last Saturday with Syrian Christians and you all can imagine what we talked about.

Fulminating against Obama, however much deserved, won’t put a morsel of food in some little child’s mouth, nor a roof over her head, nor a rebuilt church nor a book in her hand or shoes non her feet. International Orthodox Christian Charities is there on the ground with the Lutheran World Relief and the Latins and they ARE accomplishing these things under the worst of circumstances.

Send them $50.00 or $100.00; get your men’s groups and Ladies’ Societies and youth groups involved and pray for those dear people who are in every sense of the word our family in Christ!
