"Jerusalem, Jerusalem How I would have gathered you under My wings.."

We're hanging up our harps - our Jerusalem is under seige. Only the Lord our God is able to rescue us from sinful ways. We pray for repentance for all and for the renewal of the Holy Spirit. In all situations, we "trust not in princes, nor in the sons of men in whom there is no salvation". Our hope is in the Lord our God for " Your inheritance is with Me" as He has so clearly spoken to us. The Lord Jesus Christ has never forsaken us, in spite of our sins, and has guided us and His Holy Mission through the prayer of the all-holy Theotokos. We pray for her continued protection as we, "having done all" stand in the shelter of His wings.
