In verse 27, Jesus speaks about His soul: “Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’?” And Jesus Himself answers: “But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.” These words are an example for us too. In verse 26, Jesus says: “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also.” Jesus did not use the word servant but slave (doulos).A slave belongs wholly to his earthly master and has no right to leave him, being his property. The earthly master can do with him anything he likes.We humans are not mere servants but slaves of sin! Sin is our master and we are its slaves. But we refuse to admit it. Who will make us free? Jesus, the Son of God, alone! He makes us free indeed.

The mystery of a grain of wheat is not a matter of philosophy but of the practical following of Christ. It is about renouncing our will in every-day life. One form is to give thanks for everything. Not to blaspheme or grumble in suffering but to accept it as purgatory on earth and to give thanks to God, being aware of one’s own sins.

The Blessed Virgin said: “How can this be?” How can impossible things become possible? And the reply was: “The Holy Spirit shall do it!” We do not need to know how but who will do it. She said: “I am the slave of the Lord, let it be to me according to your word.” And Elizabeth testified: “You are blessed, because you believed that the Lord would do what He said.” You are blessed too if you believe God. The Holy Spirit will raise Ukraine to life. The Holy Spirit will raise up heroes of faith in Ukraine. The Holy Spirit will unmask the spirit of lies and death. The Holy Spirit will bring to life the dry bones of the Ukrainian people. How? By His divine power. Through whom? Through you. “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”

Pseudo canonization of John XXIII and John Paul II

By canonizing two heretical Popes, the Church de facto canonized heretical doctrine – an anti-Gospel, for which reason the Vatican and the apostate hierarchy are under an anathema – God’s curse acc. Gal 1:8-9. The Spirit of God had been gradually expelled from the church organization and the spirit of antichrist was officially canonized and elevated to the altar. Every bishop, priest and believer must decide whom they want to obey, Christ and His Gospel or the aggiornamento and Assisi spirit of antichrist.Canonization of two heretics is a shock and a scandalous mockery of the Gospel and apostolic tradition. The Bride of Christ has become the harlot of antichrist. Rome has turned into the spiritual Babylon.
