It is not always easy to understand and accept God’s ways, especially when they are very far from our own. Then the temptation arises — against all the reasoning of faith — to think that the Lord is the one who is wrong, or worse still, that he is not listening to us or is not concerned about us.
Orthodox Christianity which has been practiced throughout Ethiopia since the 3rd century is now a crime according to Orommuma!
The Patriarch is being complicit in this state sponsored extermination of Christians by not mobilizing all believers to protect their religion. You must stand against Abiy, just like Abune Petros stood against Rodolfo Graziani! If change is not made, we will all soon be forced to believe in the “all mighty Oda tree”!
Ethiopia: Abiy Ahmed’s Oromo mercenaries are killing civilian Christians, who are ethnic Amharas, in East Wollega, while the PM is drone-striking schools and hospitals in the Amhara and Tigray regions. The picture depicts a priest who was killed by Abiy’s Geda mercenaries.
They were given a choice between life and faith, and they chose faith. The 21 Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo martyrs of Libya stand in the ancient tradition of Ethiopia’s monks, hermits, nuns, and faithful who held fast when the price of conviction was life itself. Their memory carries particular weight today, as the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church faces profound pressures and its faithful continue to suffer violence and persecution in parts of Ethiopia. One of Christendom’s most ancient living institutions has endured invasions, revolutions, and centuries of upheaval; it must endure again. May the martyrs’ grace strengthen us, may their prayers be with us, and may their souls rest in eternal peace. Their bodies were taken, but their faith was not.
