Deliver me, O Lord, from evildoers; protect me from those who are violent, who plan evil things in their minds and stir up wars continually. -- Ps. 140 1-2
لقد دمروا مدننا، وسنعود.
Christian Solidarity
To Our towns they have destroyed, We shall return.
As Christians we are repatriating the places our ancestors lived, some indigenously for thousands of years. We are rebuilding our communities, churches and monasteries both ancient and new without compulsion to convert to Muhammadanism, Hinduism or other belief systems, emigrate, pay extortion fees, be tortured, enslaved, raped or executed.
As Christians we reject and resist the injustice aimed at preventing us from choosing and following Jesus Christ, Son of God, our Saviour and Redeemer, or deterring us from the Commission to evangelize all peoples and nations in His name.
The following charities are helping persecuted Christians survive, build and grow in peace:
Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith. -- Galatians 6:10
Guido Reni, Saint James the Greater, c. 1636–1638
Prayer to Saint James
O glorious Apostle, St. James, who by reason of thy fervent and generous heart wast chosen by Jesus to be a witness of His glory on Mount Tabor, and of His agony in Gethsemane;
Thou, whose very name is a symbol of warfare and victory: obtain for us strength and consolation in the unending warfare of this life, that, having constantly and generously followed Jesus, we may be victors in the strife and deserve to receive the victor's crown in heaven.
Amen.
