🇨🇾 Cypriot hierarch: euthanasia is a combination of murder and suicide

— "The Cypriot House Human Rights Committee began a debate last week about euthanasia becoming legal for terminally-ill patients.

MP Irene Charalambidou, who heads the committee, commented that the choice is between a serene pain-free and respectable death and a crucially painful one at the last stage of terminally-ill patients, reports in-cyprus.

However, the Orthodox Church, to which about 75% of the Cypriot population belongs, stands against euthanasia.

Speaking on Cypriot television last week, His Eminence Metropolitan Isaiah of Tamassos explained that the Church’s stance is well known and can’t simply be changed, reports SigmaLive."

🇵🇸 Jerusalem Christians: ‘We shrunk from 20% to 2% of population due to Israeli violence’

— "As tensions escalate in Jerusalem in the wake of Israel's latest wave of evicting Palestinians  from the city, it is important to note that Israel's targeting of Arab civilians has not been limited to Muslims alone. It has also reached the Palestinian Christians of Jerusalem, which prompted Christian leaders to let out a cry of distress: “Our existence is shaky and our future is in danger.”

According to figures released in 2017, Jerusalem is has a population of 901,300 people, made of around 342,000 Arab citizens in East Jerusalem, nearly 345,000 Jews in West Jerusalem, and 215,000 Jewish settlers in East Jerusalem. The Christian presence is limited to 15,800 people (12,600 Arab Christians and 3,200 non-Arab Christians)."

🇵🇸 Hegumen Nikon (Golovko): We must not silently endure oppression in the Holy Land

— "In recent months, more and more alarming signals have been received from the Holy Land about the beginning of real persecution of Christian denominations. Abbot Nikon (Golovko), secretary of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem, spoke about what is happening today in the Holy Land, about vandalism, attempts to seize church property and street fights.

“Destructive processes have intensified with the onset of the pandemic and the chain of lockdowns in Israel. In our Russian sites and in our churches in the Holy Land, in the last 2 years we have noted an increase in problems associated with religious radicalism."

🇷🇺🇺🇦 STATEMENT ON UKRAINE:

Regardless of where you stand on today's events, let us all take the advice of our hierarchs and pray for peace in Ukraine and a swift end to the ongoing war gripping the country.

Pray for those who have lost their lives — on both sides — and let us hope that further casualties can be avoided as much as is realistically possible in a conflict of this magnitude.

It's never a pleasant sight to see brother countries at each others' throats, and I hope none of this spills over to the parish level, where, of course, many Russians and Ukrainians share the same places of worship.

For the sake of preserving brotherly unity in the faith, it would be best advised to refrain from discussing the events of today at church, unless it is to comfort those directly affected by the humanitarian crisis currently unfolding. They deserve our utmost love and support right now.

This is a pivotal moment in history, possibly the end of the terrorist OCU organisation as well. Let us pray for peace! 🙏🏻

A relevant Orthodox prayer for times of conflict and suffering 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Assume that every new person at your church, particularly if it's Russian Orthodox, is a federal agent until they prove otherwise.

They're going to keep tabs on Orthodox churches in the West now, you better realise that. Don't say anything outlandish or anything that in the future may be used to incriminate you. Just a friendly heads up 👍🏻

"The global elites have been conspiring with one another to change and control the world. They want to re-establish this world, but in a faustian, cunning and utopian way. A world that promises liberation, but brings captivity; which promises eternal health, but which overwhelms hospitals; which promises happiness only if you are deprived of all things natural. In fact, this "reset" is a lot like what we Romanians experienced just a few decades ago. A world of control, surveillance, rationing and scarcity. Of planned deprivations, a permanent state of terror, of domination by division. We used to call it communism. And now it has returned, this time in a new form and with the help of new technologies."

A lot of people are sharing the image above about St. Paisios' prophecy on Turkey without much research or actual understanding of the geopolitical situation in Ukraine, or the Black Sea. Some key things to note:

1) Turkey has closed off the Bosphorus strait to ALL warships, not just Russian vessels.

2) All the warships that Russia needs for the war efforts are already in the Black Sea. In fact, if anything this only helps Russia as it cuts off Ukrainian allies from sending warships through the strait.

3) President Erdoğan condemned the Russian invasion, but he also announced only yesterday that he wouldn't abandon ties with Russia as it wasn't in the "national interest" to do so.

Let's not get hyped up in prophecies folks, it's good to read and be aware of them, but from my own experience, fear mongering about current events only usually serves the devil in distracting us from more important aspects of the Christian life, such as prayer and repentance.
