An Arabic Prayer for Divine Mercy

An Arabic prayer for God's Mercy. In the tradition of the Church of Antioch founded by Sts. Paul and Barnabas, whose first bishop was the Apostle Peter. Where the faithful were first called Christians. From the Troparia of Penitence, Ceremony of Forgiveness, Byzantine Worship.

There is a brief history of this tradition here:

The first stone cross in the video is from the altar at the ancient Byzantine church on top of Mt. Nebo in Jordan. John Paul II prayed before this cross as shown in this picture:

(Pope Benedict XVI also in 2009)

The second cross is at the Orthodox convent of Our Lady in Saidnaya, Syria.

The frescoes of the praying saints (Dormition scene with Theotokos stolen) are from an obscure ancient Byzantine church in Maad, Lebanon, named after St. Charbel the former (martyr of the Church of Antioch, year 107). Originally a Greek temple with a dedication to the Master of the Universe, the church was eventually converted to Maronite and later had Crusader additions.

Why did Saudi Arabia grovel to the Dollar after 9/11 when it was so obvious that the world trade towers were demolished by design? Because Roosevelt and then Nixon made the core of the dollar based on Saudi oil and the kingdom and Mecca sold out their dignity to western deceit.

That is why the US, UN, NATO, and Israel only pick on countries outside this banking system, like Iran, Iraq, Syria, and now Libya.

May God's Mercy be with all of us.

@mohand7777 The Arabia of Muhammad's day was found Christians, and Arabic Christians today are Catholic, Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox, too. Yes, there are many Arabic Christians, in the nations of the Mid East and around the world.
