Mt. Athos monks anathematize Putin



 My proviso: I have read parts [ in fact, some of what all is alleged here, I may not agree with at all!].... of this Russian text, through the rough machine-English translation, so I do understand SOME of what is in this text, and I do agree with SOME of it,  but, I do not vouch for it all, and I leave it up to the individual reader to decide for themselves. But I must admit, that I like...any conservative Orthodox anathematizing Vladimir Putin, as he richly deserves it, especially for the terrible destruction and mass murder which he!... is causing in Ukraine (not the government in Kiev!)...and shedding the innocent blood of many Orthodox Christians!...and of other innocent people.     Rd. Daniel

How to help Abbess Juliana

For those who may want, How to send monetary help to Abbess Juliana in Chile


Regarding sending aid to Abbess Juliana (Hazbun) at  her St. John of Kronstadt Convent/Orphanage
near Santiago, Chile:

 For any questions to her: Her email address: 
abbjuliana @ g mail . com
 

She is most fluent in Russian,
 but she also communicates in English and Spanish, and Arabic.


Rd. Daniel Everiss'  question to her:

[Quote]-  "PLUS, do let me know, of the safest way/method/address, etc. for
anyone to send you money help!"

Abbess Juliana's Response:
In Christ, Dear Brother Daniel.
I hope you did not LOSE HOPE, waiting to hear back from me.
The problem here, is that the Chileans were having their Independence week.
I had to go to the Bank to answer your questions. First, of course you can send my letter to anyone you want to. I have nothing to hide as I live in the realities of  the present day.. Usually, when I was younger, I would plan to do this and that and go here and there, and sometimes only one quarter of my plans came to reality, and the others, - three quarters -NOTHING WORKED.
Bad moods follow, to be honest, but  I never raise my voice and I never ever banged any doors.
This is Father Benjamin's [good influence on me].!
The first question in Confession he asks you
Are you at peace with everybody? as  if you say NO! He simply quits. So  he wants us to have peace in our hearts all day long and all night and in the winter and in the summer.
But still we are not saints   Do you understand humor?
But what I say about Father Benjamin is true-
Well I found the answer for your second question, this hrimata in Greek, masari  in Arabic, dengi in Russian, money in English, plata in Spanish / srebro in Slavonic  is a serious matter., and not humorous. So what I can suggest is a very long story. And it took all my time to write it down. I could send a scanner if you want.
Do you have time? have patience? 
This is the Bank's address
                                  S.W.I.F.T    BECH  CL RM
                                  Banco del Estado de Chile
                                  Manqueheue 338
                                   Apoquindo 6095 Santiago Chile
To send masari [ money ] to Abbess Juliana, one needs  to send it to the saving's  account in the name of:
 Julia George Hazbun Zarzar  
Camino el Cajon 18060 el Arrayan
Fono 223215334
Account number is: 33861283173

One thing I would suggest:  is to collect a sizable sum of money in one specific place,  and then to send it all at once, as that is easier than to deposit: $ 5,10 or 100 dollars, as for each donation, no matter what the sum, [ large or small] each  time the bank will call me to tell me the good news!

Once a lady, Katya Ogden used to collect for us, I am quilty, for not giving her these numbers. I still have her e-mail if you will want to talk to her. She is a very pious person and her husband is Gregor and their child, is Alexandra.

Enough of chattering today, as it is raining. 

I think I will stop now. I am waiting for the rain to stop, so I can go to my cell.  I  love winter., but have to hurry, as  we also live in the mountains, and as the Computer is uphill,  and I live  down near the gate and  the kitchen.
Have a good night.
Can someone translate this sentence for  you?....as it is in Russian?
"Отъ многоглаголанiя не избежишь греха"
 (Human translator's note: This translates literally as: From speaking much, you will not escape sin. многоглаголанiя may also be translated as “loquacity” or “talkativeness”).
 .....and this is the TRUE Abbess Juliana!
[Abbjuliana]

These two older links for St. John of Kronstadt's Convent/Orphanage , show past people, buildings, and events.A big fire destroyed a lot there, some years back.
I am not clear as to how things look there now.

In his homily, Bishop Andronicus reminded us of the need to remain faithful to the Holy Orthodox Church in our times of trouble.  The bishop also spoke of the need to distance ourselves from the world and find spiritual nourishment in the monasteries for the salvation of our souls.
After the Liturgy, Bishop Andronicus blessed the new cross and dome on the gate, at the entrance to the monastery. 
This work was by the  master-carpenter  and patron, Dmitry Kichakovym.

• Not everyone in Russia is fooled by Putin's lies about his dirty little war against Ukraine-
     http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29300213



• As Atheists and other anti-Christians try to make America a Godless atheist country: A small victory for the Ten Commandments
And this battle is not a small one, but the cosmic ageless universal war  between God 
and the Devil, Good and Evil.

The Devil and his servants, especially hate the Holy Cross, the very instrument  of their defeat,  and the very name, JESUS CHRIST, the Saviour of the World.

Under the excuse of 'tolerance' and the false claim, of 'separation of church and state', the leftist anti-Christian forces in this 'progressive/modern'  country, are struggling to use our constitution and governmental and our heavily leftist-activist court system, to force...  the removal of crosses, or of any Christian religious representations, NATIVITY SCENES!,  and any public & historical markers of Christianity, out of our national life, -our schools, and actually in all places...even in or on the top of churches, and from cemeteries (!)...even from military cemeteries!

Among this crowd, are militant anti-Christian Jews, and now the huge influx into America of  Moslems, ( who world-wide, have been oppressing and murdering Christians since Muhammad created their foul evil religion), and the various stripes of deluded  outright Atheists.

These un-American alien-cultured people are destroying our traditional NATIVE  Christian American values and culture, while the majority of the population...do not protest, again, for 'toleration sake'.

God does not bless the nation that does not bless Him.
"Blessed is that nation whose God is the Lord!"

Another example of how un-Orthodox is the MP

article found on:  < http://internetsobor.org>  

 Because, here by photographic evidence, the 'holy patriarch' is baptizing a baby, not by Orthodox full triple immersion, but by the Latin style pouring.This practice is apparently now normal in many parts of the MP, even for adults.

Also, since they teach now, that: 'Every Russian is Orthodox by birth', [ i.e. 'by blood'???, automatically?not what the Holy Fathers ever taught or our Orthodox Holy Tradition teaches] no pre-baptismal/chrismation catechism/instruction in the Orthodox Christian Faith,  is offered for many adults. And too, many are given communion without baptism, and without confession also.
And also by this photo, it is clear that this baptismal vessel , is plenty deep enough, for infant  triple full immersion.
Perhaps, 'His Holiness' does not want to get his hands or arms wet?...with a messy Orthodox style old fashioned outdated, infant baptism.
And too, we have viewed many other typical MP baptismal photos, of their adult baptisms, which they usually do by, pouring too....with the newly being baptized, standing [ i.e. they are obviously healthy enough to be submersed, Orthodox style,  under a stream or in an indoor deep  pool] with their heads bent, in front of a small vessel, with the MP priest pouring water over their heads, Latin style.

Esphigmenou Monastery Update


OPEN LETTER, in machine-English: Esphigmenou Monastery Update: Their Thessaloniki (income producing) property taken from them, etc


Rough machine-English translation:
 

Open Letter of the "monks zealot" of Esfigmenu Monastery to Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, regarding the judgment for removal of the monastery of its property  in Thessaloniki

Author: i-sobor incl. September 21, 2014. Posted in CPI Greece (Views: 27)
Monastery Esfigmenu
Athos
September 16, 2014
Your Excellency, Mr. Prime Minister Antonis Samaras
Today, the bailiff announced to us (judgment under № 1228/2014), that within three days we had to leave the Residence located on the street Venizelos Thessaloniki and transfer it to the monks of the "new brotherhood."
Once again, we see that justice has taken toward a stronger and conveys the property acquired by the long hard work of our brethren, Katsulrieram - false esfigmentsam who themselves have dubbed themselves "neo-esfigmentsami" (by decree of the Ecumenical Patriarch).
All of this is illegal and against the rules, but he continues, because no court is unable to take a proper decision. This brotherhood was scheduled outside of Mount Athos, and it itself has proclaimed itself the "new brotherhood" Esfigmenu. This was followed by restrictions on the delivery of the monastery of food, medicine, fuel and other minimum necessary for survival. Then was appointed the confiscation of our movable and immovable property. Fanarionu nothing left as soon as we give the orders to be executed by crucifixion.
And it's all because of pressure on us by the "father" of our - "compassionate" and deep "Christian" Ecumenical Patriarch, so that we finally took popery as "equal-dignity, respectively, and Orthodoxy," as having the same apostolic succession and the same sacraments, and welcomed all of this along with the rest of the Holy Mountain. And all because "some" Bartholomew went against the rules of the Church Fathers and the confession of faith. Ecumenist and defender of false faith.
We also want to bring to your attention that something like Do you believe it is impossible to impose any judicial decisions, nor any law enforcement authorities in Greece.
Needless to say, we're not going to surrender their positions traitors of faith. We took a defensive position against all those who seek to destroy us. All that was our fraternity is acquired belongs to him and only him. When this false Esphigmenou something created to argue with us today?
What right have they to demand anything? They arrogated to themselves the right of it, because, as it involves the Constitutional Charter St. Mountains, they were illegally granted the name, but in fact they have never celebrated St. Charter. Mountains, and why is it we have to give them the last thing we have left? Why? Why all public Greek judicial authorities pleaded incompetent in litigation with regard to the adoption of illegal administrative decisions by the Ecumenical Patriarch and the Holy Community of the Holy Mountain, while the persecution of the Holy Mount Athos zealots do not stop? We're not going peredavvt anything in his hands and let us Katsulieridov pressured tanks though - we will stand till the end!
We do not bother, do not bother anyone and we provoke clashes. Keep away from false esfigmenitov everything that belongs to our monastery. Traitors of faith and their monks have arrogated to themselves the illegal part of our property, which allows them to lead a luxurious life, when for us - 128 monks that was the only source of income for our survival!
We do not tolerate anything more from these monks. Keep them away from us, otherwise we do not accept any responsibility for the actions that we will have to take in case of collision. We ask for protection and assistance from the country's political leadership.
Dear Mr. Prime Minister, please give a political solution to the issue, to stop any kind of persecution against us and our monahov.Radi God, because we are patriots of their country and Orthodox monks!
We were attacked with crowbars, to us is letting excavators, and this is the real violation of basic human rights. We ask for your help and the entire political leadership of the country. We have selected an immoral manner everything: our name, our belongings ...
I need you to know that the last Seventy years on Mount Athos secretly and silently unfolds religious persecution against the monks who remained faithful to the traditions of Orthodoxy! Their persecutors - people Patriarchate and Priest. Kinot consistently seized power on Mount Athos. These people, acting together: a) do not allow any of the monks anti-Uniates, how old he was, to take to help make disciples; b) do not allow any of these monks to buy the cell to monashestvovat there.
Their aim is to gradually limit the Holy Mountain zealot to create believers the impression that no one in the St.. Woe is not against the conclusion of the union, betraying the faith.
Finally, all of us fathers - the victim of persecution, express the wish that you have desired to the covenant of God, and not friendship with strong land.
That concerns us, we monks Esfigmenu, we do not accept violence, whatever it was, and no matter where they originated, and we will not leave our confession, as did the holy martyrs at Vecchio, preferring death to betrayal, even the slightest , the Orthodox Faith.
With all due respect to you.
