Impressive words from Bp Akakije's Encyclical. It's great that he is able to speak out truthfully :

"With these wishes we also offer a tearful cry that the Lord deliver us from the cruel yoke of the godless democratic powers, and that the autocratic crown of the Nemanja dynasty again shine over the Serbian land. For just as there is no salvation of the soul without adoption by the Heavenly Father, just as there is no healthy society without the family whose head is the father, master of the house, so likewise there is no healthy and divinely-blessed state without an autocratic King and father"

Nice video too ! Very cheerful. Interesting how the Bishop gives out little packages to the children at the end.
Christmas presents, apparently. A kind-looking nun looks on, taking photos.

Let's pray for that Novi Stjenik Convent to attract many, many more excellent novices....of immense stability !
