S. Stephen, Stephanos - "the crowned" - offers us perhaps the most stirring condemnation of the Jews we find in Scripture outside the words of Our Lord Himself. Like Our Lord, and like all martyrs, he was made to suffer because he held up a mirror to sinful men confirmed in their viciousness; like the fool of Proverbs, they hated him for the truth he showed them.
Let all our words and all our actions remind us and those around us of our unworthiness before God, that we may be the wise man who loves correction, and be crowned by the Truth to which we witness. S. Stephane, ora pro nobis!

"And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights. As a result, the pandemic saw many newcomers to Telegram, including prominent anti-vaccine activists who used the app's hands-off approach to share false information on shots, a study from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows. The original Telegram channel has expanded into a web of accounts for different locations, including specific pages made for individual Russian cities. There's also an English-language website, which states it is owned by the people who run the Telegram channels. Additionally, investors are often instructed to deposit monies into personal bank accounts of individuals who claim to represent a legitimate entity, and/or into an unrelated corporate account. To lend credence and to lure unsuspecting victims, perpetrators usually claim that their entity and/or the investment schemes are approved by financial authorities. There was another possible development: Reuters also reported that Ukraine said that Belarus could soon join the invasion of Ukraine. However, the AFP, citing a Pentagon official, said the U.S. hasn’t yet seen evidence that Belarusian troops are in Ukraine.
