After having received several requests, concerned emails, and prayerful emails regarding the violent and stubborn threats on Pope Benedict XVI and his office, I have decided to post one of them. In a true spirit of ecumenicism, let us all join together to pray for the safety of a great leader and holy man, Pope Benedict XVI. The following email was received by me and is being posted here with permission from one of our many brothers in Christ.
"Wednesday September 20th marks the one week anniversary of Pope Benedict’s address at the University of Regensburg. In the days that followed we have seen an escalation in threats, violent rhetoric and actual violence against Christians by radical Islamic extremists. Several threats on Benedict’s life have been made public.
I would like to invite all Christians, Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican or Protestant to join me in making this Wednesday, September 20th a special of day of united Christian action. Please join by offering prayer, fasting, penance or almsgiving for the intention of Pope Benedict’s safety and a peaceful resolution for this situation.
Yours in Christ
David (an Eastern Orthodox Christian)"
God Bless and keep the Pope. We love our German Shepherd.
