Kyrie Eleison.
Yaa Rabb urHam.
Gospodi pomiluj!
Orthodox Ping!
Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!
This looks like a version of the old islamic drive to reconquer EVERY country that used to be under muslim rule!!!! PHOOEY!!!!
If it weren’t for the US meddling in Syria—pushed forward by obama, Samantha World Power, Hillary Rodham Izetbegovic Khomeini, John “send in the ground troops to Kosovo” Kerry and Crazy John McCain—there would be no ISIS and no caliphate!!!!
Then there is the US Ukrainian adventure—pushed forward by the same set of miscreants, plus Victoria Nuland (Noodleman) Kagan, Mad Halfbright, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and George Soros. Putin and the good people of Novorossiya are only DEFENDING themselves—and the Orthodox world—from the mad excesses of our liberal interventionists and neocons!!!!
This is all bad news for the entire Orthodox world, and the entire Christian world. It’s VERY bad news for ALL Americans as well!!!!
We Orthodox have been thrust into the position of the leaders of the entire Christian world. That even includes the weak and tiny American Orthodoxy, which is really inadequate for the task.
However, if we are tempted to give up when we consider our weakness, we should reread the Acts of the Apostles, and consider the lives of the Leaders of the Apostles, Peter and Paul. Lord have mercy!!!!
