🇮🇶 Iraqi Christian Villages Emptied by Fear of Turkish Attacks

— "Christian and Kurdish villages in northern Iraq continue to fear Turkish bombardment as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. On the evening of November 6, Turkish aerial bombing fell on the Christian village of Father Samir Youssef and another nearby Christian village for the first time in over a year. Turkish offensive in northern Iraq continues to escalate and increase in scope, driving more Christians from their homelands.

According to Father Samir with AsiaNews, for a long time the area “had been spared from the violence,” but today the fear “is tangible”. Continuing on he noted the impact of Turkish attacks saying they “stopped tourism after a phase of recovery and make it difficult to cultivate fields or keep factories open, for fear of being hit”."

Pro-segregation hierarch suspends priests for not taking abortion-tainted "vaccine". https://spzh.news/en/news/84115-elladskij-ijerarkh-otstranil-ot-sluzhenija-14-neprivityh-svyashhennikov
— They're quite right to say this. Compelling priests to inject themselves with experimental gene therapy made from the cells of aborted babies is indeed satanic, and vaccine rape. Does the hierarch have no shame?
What on earth is going on in the Church of Greece this week?
Any hierarch that forces his priests to get the abortion-tainted vaccine should accurately be described as a "vaccine rapist". And no, I'm not kidding. This has to end, it's satanic and unacceptable. Start calling them this term from now on.
🇷🇺 Christian emigration from US to Russia shows Moscow now ‘leader of the free world’ – Russian Patriarch

— "The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, has argued that his country’s independence from negative outside influence is what makes it truly free, in his eyes.

In an interview broadcast on the Rossiya-1 TV channel on Saturday, the religious leader was asked to comment on instances of Orthodox Christians having emigrated from the US to Russia.

“I can imagine the types of reaction to my words from different corners, but I can prove that Russia today is the true leader of the free world,” Kirill said.

"We’re free from the most powerful influences from abroad. We’re developing in accordance with our own path and, by God’s will, our path shall be successful. Russia can serve as an example for others." "

Why bother legalising abortion when the COVID vaccine exists?
🇺🇸 Vials Of Smallpox Discovered In Merck Laboratory: Elites Planning For Another Pandemic?

— "Early on in the pandemic, Bill Gates was linked to the production of the deadly COVID virus because his foundations allegedly funded coronavirus research. Recently, the philanthropist and billionaire warned that COVID won't be the last viral threat that the world will face.

"COVID-19 will not be the last pandemic threat the world faces," Gates took to Twitter to share earlier this month. He also linked to an article containing his keynote remarks on how to end the current pandemic and prevent the next one. But critics are sounding the alarm on how Gates would possibly be the one to start the next pandemic himself.

According to The Blaze, Gates recently hinted that there may be a smallpox pandemic soon and it is a coincidence that vials of smallpox were found in a Merck lab in Pennsylvania."

How to organize yourself as a Christian militiaman:
Those of us who organize our lives with various methods often get frustrated with not getting what we want. Therefore, I want to provide you with some useful tips on how to organize your life in a God-oriented way to reach the best version of yourself.

-First, focus on the Will of God. If He lets you sleep in because your alarm didn't go off, accept it and go ahead. Avoid the anger of not doing what you want and focus on what God wants. As it is with all the inconveniences of everyday life, which can prevent us from doing our duties or objectives, especially those unexpected things. The more worried we are about things we cannot change, the more we overlook that which we can. They are there to make you grow in virtue, offer them with a defiant smile against the devil, the world, and the weakness of your flesh.

-Second, we must understand our life as a war, not to focus on our material gains, but on spiritual gains. We have to see our duties through, to see our defects and virtues. Each of them is a battlefield where we are accompanied by our Lord, the Blessed Virgin, our guardian angels, the saints whose help we call upon, and our friends, many who are alone in the wilderness and from time to time want to be great again, we all want to do everything right, quickly, and be as perfect as possible, an idea which ends up demotivating them.

If you see all the struggles as a battlefield, in a battle you can rarely win on all fronts, advance little by little, set your bar low; yes, many times there are great offensives and victories that you advance a lot but the next objective is to maintain the territory, other times you have to choose well the battles we choose, other times it is prudent to withdraw.

-How to win your battles?

You may train spiritually and materially, both soul and body as we are both, always recourse God's grace to fulfill your preparation properly, also you need allies, you cannot be a lone wolf all your life, seek them, also befriend them (how?), when things get hard you will need some local allies to help you, find good generals to lead you and if you cannot find them, pray for guidance so you can step up to the plate. Find saints to help you, then plan logistics and strategy; you ought to have a lot of flexibility. God may have different plans for you, so you should be able to change the course.

When you are figuring out the situations of the battlefield, you might think your position is horrible and you might be enraged about it, on how you are alone, but you have to consider that God made you and put you in those situations to make you thrive and build virtue. You might envy other people's positions. We all think that the neighbor's grass is greener, but everyone has their own crosses to bear and you might be less able to handle those over your own.

It also may happen that you lose a battle, but never the war. Mortal sin happens to us all. Even when it seems you've lost so many battles, focus on your true intentions and what God wants for you, focus on surveying your position objectively. Remember that feelings distort the situation. Gather your forces and even withdraw. Give it time and re-think your strategies. Lower your expectations, focus on holding the line, then focus on the little victories, little by little, you will make an avalanche. Discipline is the key, not motivation.

Remember the value of suffering. Fulton Sheen said “Maturity comes through suffering and responsibility”, it’s the path of manhood sustain great suffering and keeps going with our duties, you can be happy while suffering, you can suffer well and offer that to God, that’s the path of happiness in the dark days that are yet to come.

As long as hope remains, our war is not over. When Satan surrounds us, he may think he will have his hour, but God will have His day and Satan will be defeated. We NEVER fight alone. Together, we drive the sword of God inside the snake's belly.

These tips I consider to be an excellent way to organize our life as Christian militiaman.
🇺🇸 Orthodox pro-life society to rally for overturning of Roe v. Wade

— "Orthodox Christians Pro-Life will hold a rally in the very center of Manhattan on December 1 to support the overturning Roe v. Wade that could happen during the Supreme Court’s hearings.

That day, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson, a case that legal scholars on both sides of the aisle agree could overturn Roe v. Wade and send abortion policy back to the states. On that day, pro-lifers across the country will hold rallies and prayer vigils at federal buildings, court houses, and other public places as part of the OverturnRoe campaign.

The Society believes that at this historical moment Orthodox Christians should step up their efforts towards the legal protection of the lives of the unborn. 
Information on how to find an OverturnRoe rally or to host a rally is available online."
