We must never forget to thank you all for your generous donations even when most people forget to do so...

Hope, a lot of hope, and help, so that sickness, poverty and despair goes away, at least a little with your help! Our friends, YOUR friends, may they be in Central America or in Russia, Romania or elsewhere, need your help.

They need our help, they need your help! Every donation, even if it is just a few cents, counts and brings them a little bit closer to well-being. Their needs are without measure. Schools, clothing, churches, medication, etc.

It's always a scandal when we see people centered on themselves when so many need our help. We must have compassion for the poor and always keep in mind that we must promote fairness and equity in the world, not only the one that surrounds us, but all the world.

Lets not forget Africa, South and Central America and Mexico. They seem to suffer in silence! Help us make their suffering heard!

Let's put our energy on charity! Help us help those in need. Send your generous gift to our mission to facilitate their relief. Christ will be in your hearts

"A Self-Defeating War"

Is a very important commentary, by George Soros, that will change the way you see the war on terror.

By George Soros -- The war on terror is a false metaphor that has led to counterproductive and self-defeating policies. Five years after 9/11, a misleading figure of speech applied literally has unleashed a real war fought on several fronts -- Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Somalia -- a war that has killed thousands of innocent civilians and enraged millions around the world. Yet al Qaeda has not been subdued; a plot that could have claimed more victims than 9/11 has just been foiled by the vigilance of British intelligence.

Develop a personality

By Richard Wurmbrand

A sage had a disciple called Moses. When he called, the disciple would reply, "Yes," and come immediately. The master would then tell him a few things, but with disappointed expression on his face.

Moses did not understand why. Again and again, the master would call, "Moses!" Each time Moses would reply, "Yes," and elicit the same reaction. Eventually he came to the conclusion that his answer "Yes" was not what his master desired.

He changed, and for a time, as often as the master called, "Moses!" He replied, "Here I am." But neither did this answer satisfy the sage, though he continued to impart love to his disciple and to teach him the ways of God.

One day Moses had an illumination, and when the master called, "Moses!" He came, smiled, and said, "I understood." With this, he left his master forever.

The master gave a sign of relief. Moses had become himself. He now knew he was Moses and no longer had to be the copy of his master.

Likewise, I urge you to develope a personality that is able to discern the truth among the many lies that are told.

Tropar of the Resurrection

Christ has risen from the dead, trampling down death with death and granting life to those in the graves.

Condac of the Resurrection

Although thou didst descend into the tomb, O Immortal One, yet hast thou destroyed the power of hell; and thou hast risen as a conqueror, O Christ our God, proclaiming unto the women who went to anoint: Rejoice! And bestowing peace upon thine Apostles: thou who grantest resurrection to the fallen
