“Persecution has come upon us, right honorable brethren, and persecution in the severest form. Shepherds are persecuted that their flocks may be scattered. And the worst of all is that those who are being treated ill cannot accept their sufferings in proof of their testimony, nor can the people reverence the athletes as in the army of martyrs, because the name of Christians is applied to the persecutors. The one charge which is now sure to secure severe punishment is the careful keeping of the traditions of the Fathers.” PeopleMayChristianFormSufferingFatherNamesAcceptingWorstTraditionArmyAthleteIllCarefulProofPunishmentTreatedSecureCatholicismReverenceHonorableSeverePersecutionTestimonyMartyrFlocksShepherdsBrethrenPersecuted Author:Saint Basil

Can you destroy the decrees of the Almighty? You cannot. Yet our Christian brethren think that they are going to overthrow the sentence of the Almighty upon the seed of Ham.

“The philosopher stands at his desk in the lecture hall, and demonstrates away the soul of man, and with exact thought measures out his atoms and resolves him back to gas and air. But the revolutionary, below in the crowd, hears, and only translates what he hears thus to his brethren: 'Let us drink while we may; property is robbery; this life is all; let us kill and eat; there is no God.” MenMaySoulLife IsAirDrinkPropertyPhilosopherCrowdsThis LifeRevolutionaryGasResolveHallsAtomsTranslateDesksLecturesThere Is No GodBrethrenRobbery Book:A village commune.
