I am strong with Jesus. He gives me the strength

Evil is in us and around us. The devil exploits our weakness so that we love to hear lies and hate to hear the truth. He works through our egoism, i.e. the enemy in us who drags us to hell. Therefore we must resist original sin – the old self, and we must know that we need to fight and not make peace with it! There is no peace with sin. We must fight against it and this fight will only end 15 minutes after death. We must not make peace with sin nor accept it as a norm. We must not give up and say: “I am weak, I have no more strength!” Yes, I am weak but not so with Jesus. I am strong with Jesus. He gives me the strength!

On Monday 22 June 2015, a group of men in masks made an armed attack on the women’s Monastery of St Elijah the Prophet in Bryukhovychi near Lvov on the orders of the UGCC (Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church) hierarchy. The Monastery, which was established by the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi in 1925, went through the communist era, when the Church went underground and suffered persecution, and it preserved the true Catholic faith.

On 22 June 2015, a barbaric armed raid was made on our monastery in Bryukhovychi at 6:20 a.m. There were about 200 men. They jumped over the fence, dressed in black and green and wearing black or green masks. They had guns. They broke the doors with axes. I saw a group of men in disguise at the door. They wore masks and you could only see their eyes. They had guns and pistols. They pointed the weapons at us, shouted at us and commanded us to go out. Another group of men was standing behind them and flashing torches in our eyes. They did not allow us to say anything. They showed no official documents nor explained what right they had to encroach on a private territory.

In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. The Son of God became man to deliver us from our sins: “You shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” (Mt 1:21) “There is born to you this day in the city of David the Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.” (Lk 2:11)

Modern heresies

The two sentences that were preached by all the Apostles: 1) Jesus He died for our sins, 2) Jesus was raised from the dead and we are witnesses of this. Today this all is being denied masterfully! One can hardly believe that such is the state of the organization which still calls itself the Church.

Reflection on Jn 17:21

In this verse, Jesus prays for the present and future apostles and disciples and for their internal unity. This unity is no legal unity or unity within a structure. The condition of true unity is that every disciple of Christ must first be in unity with the Father through sincere repentance and saving faith. Prayers for a kind of globalization of Christians in the spirit of New Age with the aim of establishing a unified structure is the exact opposite of what Jesus prayed for.

We must learn to fight

We must learn to fight in the spiritual battle. It is no good opening our hearts to impudent and unscrupulous people. It holds true: “Don’t throw your pearls to pigs!” We need the spirit of prophecy so that we may discern correctly. Spiritual battle is no showing off; it is a tough job. But what shall we fear? Illness, suffering or death – we need not fear it. God is with us always, and if we can suffer for the sake of Christ, we shall have glory in heaven. The goal is to save our souls and the souls of others – and that is the sense of mission.

Be like Abraham

Be like Abraham, be men who give the first place to God. Because of Abraham, God gave His blessing to the whole generation. In these times, too, we need a community – the Church is a community. Where two or three are gathered together, there is power. If you put the divine truths into practice and embody them in your life, your word is with power.

Do not allow changes in the Constitution!

What are the so-called rights of sexual minorities and so-called antidiscrimination laws? It is, in essence, demagogy and introduction of ruthless discrimination against 99% of Ukrainians, involving imprisonment and unjust punishments. In other words, it is in fact destruction of the nation by sexual deviants – homosexuals, transsexuals, sadomasochists, zoophiles, necrophiles, paedophiles and other mentally ill individuals and criminals. Adoption of new “standards” in the Constitution will give these deviants the right to commit their crimes with impunity. The amended Constitution will mean public renunciation of the nation’s Christian roots and tradition. It will mean rebellion against God, paving the way for moral and physical autogenocide of Ukraine. It will be a mockery of the whole history of Ukraine if in this jubilee year of St Vladimir Ukraine will adopt the suicidal Constitution which leads to hell on earth and eternal hell after death.

1000th anniversary of the death of St Vladimir (28 July 1015 - 28 July 2015)

Three Slavonic nations - Russia, Ukraine and Belarus - retain national Christian roots and 1000-year Christian tradition which was adopted on this territory thanks to St Vladimir. Saint Vladimir was a pagan, though his grandmother, St Olga, had accepted Christianity. The process of his conversion was gradual but profound. He completely changed his way of life. St Vladimir was involved in a fierce psychological struggle against sorcerers, unconverted boyars and secret traitors. He had to be prepared for premeditated death at all times. Especially today, one ought to view the greatness of Saint Vladimir from this very perspective of the fight against the satanic system of paganism.
