☦ Orthodox Church In America/Synod of Bishops Encouraging:

Orthodox Church In America Holy Synod of Bishops reminding us:-

"In the midst of our Lenten journey to Pascha, beloved children in the Lord, we are given an opportunity, paradoxically, to honor and serve our neighbor as we struggle with this virus. May our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, by the grace of the Holy Spirit, enable us to bear the struggle that is set before us, granting us the wisdom and discernment to know what is well-pleasing to him, and the strength to accomplish it."

the other traditions of Christian worship communities, but the original 'message' and 'spirit' have been sorely perverted to accommodate and give 'validation' to those who use a 'front' of 'Christianity' for their own self-serving means.
