Pray for peace during Holy Week services. The world as a whole needs it and our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, Russia and the Mideast especially need our prayers and the intercession of the Theotokos and all the Saints now more than ever. Lord, have mercy.

May all the guns that stand poised to fire remain silent, and all those who are eager for conflict lose their eagerness; may the glory of true peace shine forth, in the name of Him who conquered death by His death on the cross!

"Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh."
A. Lincoln, 2nd Inaugural, 1865.
Food for thought this Holy Week.

May the Peace of our Lord, God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Peace that the world cannot give, reign in our hearts and minds during this Holy Paschal time and always!
