Seven77 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Lord have mercy. This is the vigil of the Feast of the Exultation of the Cross… let's pray that the nuns are delivered from danger by the power of the Holy and Victorious Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Today is also the feast day of St. John Chrysostom who was born and raised in Syria and lived there until he became Bishop of Constantinople… St. John Chrysostom, please pray for the people of Syria, especially for these nuns. Prayer accomplishes much… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4588686 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/11/world/middleeast/assault-on-christian-town-complicates-crisis-in-syria.html?src=recg Some of the rebels, apparently aware of their public relations problem, said in interviews that they meant Christians no harm. They filmed themselves talking politely with nuns, instructing fighters not to harm civilians or churches and touring a monastery that appeared mostly intact. They said they had withdrawn from most of the town, posted videos of shelling there by Mr. Assad’s forces and argued that the government had given the fight a sectarian cast by sending Christian militiamen from Damascus to join in.

Didacus Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 That statement angered some residents who fled to Bab Touma, a Christian enclave in the old city of Damascus, said Abu Tony, a leader of a neighborhood militia there. He said three residents were taken hostage and others were told, “Convert and you’ll be safe.†Maybe they should just convert then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
