Commanders of the heavenly hosts, we who are unworthy beseech you, by your prayers encompass us beneath the wings of your immaterial glory, and faithfully preserve us who fall down and cry to you: “Deliver us from all harm, for you are the commanders of the powers on high!”
Holy Archangel Michael, pray to God for me. "Why do you increase your bonds? Take hold of your life before your light grows dark and you seek help and do not find it.

Be careful of the media, especially now. They are doing anything they can think of to withdraw our sympathy from Israel.

| | | Crimes against Christianity - Israeli army destroyed Orthodox Church near Ramallahby Amineh Ishtay
The Israeli army destroyed the gates of an Orthodox church near West Bank town of Ramallah. They said it had destroyed the church by “mistake”. The Israeli soldiers realized the place was a religious after blowing up the gate and entering the grounds. An army spokeswoman said: “It was very dark and the soldiers couldn't see anything identifying the structure, there was no sign showing it was a religious place.” Palestinian witnesses said that all the people of Abud were woken up by the sound of the explosion, which completely destroyed the church. They added that they used explosives to destroy the religious place. The medieval church has a historical and religious significance. It is known as St. Barbara’s and it was restore a few years ago and used by monks for religious festivals. Archimandrite Attalah Hannah, spokesman for the Orthodox Church in Jerusalem condemned the aggression against a holy place with historical importance.
I don't like to judge, but how could that be done by "mistake"?
Wouldn't this Church look like the usual Orthodox Church? |
