Fellow-Christians:
Our great festival of the Resurrection of Christ draws near. It is many
years since, put to death by the Jews, Our Lord expiated by his blood our
sins and those of all the world, pouring out in his mercy his holy blood
for the salvation of all the nations of the earth, of us Christians as well
as the adherents of other religions.
But the vile Jews are not content with having shed the blood of our Savior,
whom they crucified, and who suffered for them. Every year they shed the
innocent blood of Christians. They shed it and use it in their religious
rites.
You have doubtless been told that at Dubossari they crucified a Christian
youth, whose blood they offered in sacrifice.
The story is quite correct. The authorities know it too, though they
do not breathe a word in order not to excite our anger against these miserable,
bloodthirsty men who should have been driven out of our country long ago.
A similar case has just occurred at Kief, where they bled to death an innocent
child and afterwards threw its body into the street.
At the present moment, whilst we are preparing to celebrate the Passion
of our Lord, they are drinking Christian blood among themselves. Brothers,
We are overcome with horror when we think of the number of Christian souls
lost through them for many years.
They aspire to seize our beloved Russia. They issue proclamations in order
to incite the people against the authorities, even against our Little Father,
the Tsar, who knows them for a cowardly, vile, rapacious people, and will
not give them liberty. They try, therefore, to provoke disturbances by which
they hope to obtain more liberties for themselves. Now, if liberty is granted
to the Jew, he will speedily become master of Holy Russia, lay his greedy
hands on everything, and there will no longer be a Russia, but only a Jewry
left.
Brothers, in the name of our Savior who gave his blood for us, in the name
of our very pious Little Father, the Tsar, who watches over the wants of
his people, and alleviates their lot by generous manifestoes, let us join
on Easter Day in the cry, "Down with the Jews ! " Let us massacre
these sanguinary monsters who slake their thirst with Russian blood !
Act in such a manner that they will remember the pogrom [i.e. massacre]
of Odessa, where the troops themselves assisted the people. This time they
will again aid us, inspired as they are, like ourselves, with the love of
Christ.
Brothers, lend us your aid. Let us massacre these vile Jews. We are already
numerous.
