weepingI can’t believe that Russia has suffered another horrible tragedy. The new death count is at 350 people including over 150 children. What kind of people would shoot at innocent children running away in panic? The answer, of course, is evil people. The recent acts of terrorism in Russia, like the attacks in Madrid and New York, show that this is not only a war against terror, but a struggle with evil.

Along with your saints, O Christ, give rest to the souls of Your servants in a place where there is neither pain, nor grief, nor longing, but life everlasting. (From the Orthodox funeral service)
