Matthew for last month has been doing well, but we are completely without food. local food bank give us something to last couple days, we ARE VERY DESPERATE..dear friends..it is because Fr.

Matthew can go into diabetic shock and die, once he is stabilized , Fr. Matthew and I both get jobs in world, must do so, even though we are ill and sick, we only ask your help so we can be self sufficient in future.....we have been too ill to respond Fr. Deacon Nikolai, but be assured we are very grateful to you for your love and prayers...and we ask all to pray for us. We have not received but from about 4 people on the list and we are grateful Brethren.....Please, for the love you bear Christ our God and the all pure Mother of God and Holy Orthodoxy, be merciful and help so Fr.

Through the Prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us...

Dear Father,
I have a suggestion which could provide immediate relief. Perhaps you could contact Catholic charities in the diocese of Fargo. I'm sure they would be willing to offer aid on the basis of Christian charity. May our Lady Panaghia Theotokos intercede for you before her Son and all things go right! Holy Blessed Ksenia of St. Petersburg, pray for these impoverished and suffering fathers!

In the LOVE of Christ,
Rostislav

Dear Brother: Glory to God. God Bless You for your prayers for us, but as Orthodox, we came on this list to ask fellow Orthodox, traditional folks for help, this is Fr. Matthew and I assure you, we would never ask the heterodox for help.....If our fellow Orthodox will not help, God's Holy will be done, but for us to ask heterodox , who I am sure would help us, I just can't do it....for the Orthodox is the only true church and no way would I ever ask the catholics for anything. We have the true Church and if folks in that true church will not help us, I will starve rather than beg for bread from the church that persecuted all orthodox, yes, I would rather accept diabetic shock and die. What did shock us is that even if folks could not give to help us, only 4 or 5 did say they are praying for us, it is ironic that heretics such as catholics would help us, and yet only 4 or 5 on this list said they are the true church, yet not even a word to email us saying they are praying for us. I will be silent now, and accept God's Holy Will.....I even got email from one on the list saying God was punishing me , for I have diabetes. ...I do have love for the heterodox, and believe showing that love is Christian, but not to be ecumenical, but if i go into diabetic shock, so be it, but I will not beg bread from heretics as you suggested. God Bless You. We just needed help until we set up web site and start selling things to be self sufficient. May the Lord Isus, the all pure Mother of God and all our God Bearing Saint grace you all on the list and apparently, you are not even going to pray for us, but we will pray for all 5OO+ of you on the list, and may the approaching Nativity Season, the feast fill us all with the wonder of His grace and love for us poor sinners. May Isus, our Christ God grace you, He whom did not even have a place to lay His Head , the sacred scripture says, grace you all for your great love and charity. God Bless You.

Dear Father,
You are in my prayers- may God bless you richly and help you through this difficult time. "Silver and gold have I none" but I will pray for you in this situation.
And I will also pray for the knucklehead who pretends to understand the hidden judgements of God in your life.
In Christ,
Rd. David

Dear Reader David: God Bless You. Your note means more to us than silver or gold, just to know you are praying for us, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.....If you know anyone who wants to buy our property, please let us know...if we don't get help soon, we must sell, give our pets to no kill shelter, and where then? We abandon ourselves to Most Holy Trinity.

We both are almost 6O yrs. old, if this stress could be eliminated, we could get jobs, but right now, Fr. Matthew doesn't even have medicine he needs...he has insulin, but without 3 medicines, he can have heart attack or stroke if he goes off his meds and he doesn't have funds to purchase those meds, so your prayers mean more to us than you will ever know......a monk can beg if he must, all monasteries on their web sites sell things, yes, but also they have that donation button as well....we await social security and ssi ruling and as you know that can take even couple years...we hope to set up website, but don't have any money to stock with items to sell, so your prayers mean everythig to us dear Reader. Charity also includes prayer, and May the Holy Spirit whose divine unction is with us orthodox, May He grace you for your gift of your prayers....we are eternally grateful for your prayers dear friend and Brother in Christ. In our Christ God , the most Holy Mother of God , the Theotokos and all our Light Illuminating Saints...

For all members:
Hornbachers is a local grocery store in Fargo ND. You can go online at
http://www.hornbachers.com and purchase a gift card with a credit card for the skete. It would be like taking out a loan to help those who are devoted to pray for us sinners and for the whole world.

Father Bless!
I think and pray for you and Fr Mathew often, now during Nativity even more. I hope this helps.
kissing your right hand,

humbly in Christ
