I am glad that you enjoyed the book. I certainly enjoyed writing it. <br /><br />You are right: I should have said more about Surma d'Beit Mar Shimun, who as you say was the 'power behind the throne' in the 1920s. Modern Assyrians tend either to love her or hate her. If there is ever a second edition of the book, I'll try to pop in a couple of characteristic anecdotes about her.

Today, His Body is shredded and torn to pieces. Love is missing. <br /><br />Unity will begin not with a signed treaty, but in the heart. <br /><br />The first step is to UNITE THE DATES OF EASTER, out of pure love for Jesus, so that every Christian heart is united to the Passion and the Resurrection of our Lord, with one mind, on one date, in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised that if we UNIFY THE DATES OF EASTER the Holy Spirit will come in full force to give us the next step to take for complete unity and peace. But the Church must UNIFY THE DATES OF EASTER first, and then the Holy Spirit will do the rest.<br /><br />Let us raise our hearts in prayer for the Church to UNIFY THE DATES OF EASTER, for the sake of Christ alone.weusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024883167909901324.post-91890274546957301062010-07-12T08:54:03.659+01:002010-07-12T08:54:03.659+01:00FOR THE UNITY OF THE CHURCH IN UNIFYING THE DATES ...FOR THE UNITY OF THE CHURCH IN UNIFYING THE DATES OF EASTER<br />If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand (Mk 3:24)<br /><br />If we, the Body of Christ, are to be one, it can only be in the unity of the Holy Spirit, for we ought to have the words, “Through him, in him and with him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours Almighty Father forever and ever” written in our hearts by now.<br /><br />Christ, offended, said in a message, “My Kingdom on earth is My Church, and the Eucharist is the Life of My Church, this Church I Myself have given you. I had left you with one Church, but hardly had I left, just barely had I turned back to go to the Father, than you reduced My House to a desolation! You leveled it to the ground! And My flock is straying left and right. For how long am I to drink the Cup of your division? Cup of affliction and devastation!” (Nov 14, 1991 TLIG)<br /><br />This division, our intolerance with one another, our stubbornness and pride is not according to the Spirit of our Lord. These things prove that Love is missing. We need to ask for the grace of the Holy Spirit for a deep repentance. We need to have a true conversion of the heart, so that the Holy Spirit can lead us to unity, for “It is not just through words that unity among brothers will come, but through the action of the Holy Spirit. Unity will come through humility and love.” (Sep 30, 1993 TLIG)<br /><br />Easter is the greatest feast we share, yet, it is divided and torn apart as one part of the Body of Christ celebrates His Resurrection, while the other part is entering His Passion. This division massacres daily our Lord's Body. We see this massacre reflected on the whole earth, as well. “Every Easter season I must drink of the cup of your division since this cup is forced on Me. The more time passes for them to unite the dates of Easter, the more severe their sentence this generation will receive.” (May 31, 1994 TLIG) <br /><br />The world will not have peace until the East and West Church takes the first step towards unity by UNIFYING THE DATES OF EASTER. Jesus promised that if this is done, the Holy Spirit will come in full force to give us the next step to take for complete unity and peace. But the Church must do this first, and then the Holy Spirit will do the rest.<br /><br />Let us pray for the Church to be One Body in Christ, glorifying one Lord with one heart, united to His Passion and Resurrection with one mind, on ONE EASTER DATE, in the unity of the Holy Spirit. <br /><br />God bless us.weusnoreply@blogger.com
