Israel has closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre indefinitely for the first time in the history of Christianity.
Holy Week and Easter services will be prohibited. Sunday masses and liturgies cancelled. A church that should be packed with hundreds of thousands these coming weeks is being forcibly shut and silenced.
Israel cites it is for ‘security concerns’ while Jewish Israelis are allowed to celebrate in mass gatherings. Alongside the forced closure of Al-Aqsa mosque, reports cite priests aggressively being turned away to perform daily services.
Throughout history, wars, tensions, or even the pandemic limited access to the sanctuary, but they had never prevented liturgical celebrations in this central place of Christian faith indefinitely. Christians must not remain silent.
Struggling to wrap my head around this. Tim Tebow gave Congress a map with 338,000+ unique IP addresses in the United States that have traded/shared images of children being sexually abused in the past 6 months and NOBODY is talking about it.
@FChristopher77 During a recent visit to a monastery a monk told my group about another monk who was speaking to them in person while simultaneously interacting in person with monks at a monastery in Greece. Witnesses in both locations. May God be magnified!
🚨 I still can't get over this: Tim Tebow showed Congress a map with 338,000+ unique U.S. IP addresses trading/sharing child sexual abuse material (kids under 12) in just 6 months.
And it barely made the news because it wasn't in the Epstein files?
We NEED Action on this!

Having trouble finding the film #MosesTheBlack in theaters. It appears it’s being suppressed by the industry (driven by the Enemy)

Omar Epps’ new film “Moses the Black” reimagines a fourth-century Ethiopian saint as a modern Chicago gang leader wrestling with guilt, consequence and the possibility of change.

“It is of great significance if there is a person who truly prays in a family. Prayer attracts God’s Grace & all the members of the family feel it, even those whose hearts have grown cold. Pray always.”- Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

"Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity (Matt. 7:22-23)"
His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America was welcomed by Tarpon Springs Mayor John Koulianos for the blessing of a fleet of sponge and fishing boats, as well as to commemorate tomorrow’s 120th consecutive celebration of the Great Feast of Epiphany.
