This year, Pentecost falls on Sunday, May 28. It is followed by the octave. Russia and Ukraine will celebrate the feast of Pentecost on Sunday, June 4. The Lord showed the prophet Ezekiel (Ez 37:1-9) the condition of the nation of Israel in a valley full of dry bones. Today, this image fully applies to New Testament Israel, that is, to the Church. The Holy Spirit has been expelled from the heart of the Church and replaced by the spirit of the world, and today also by the synodal spirit of LGBTQ, i.e. the spirit of death, which has turned the Church into a spiritual graveyard full of scattered dry bones. Church dogmas have been scattered, God’s commandments destroyed, God’s laws overturned, milestones uprooted and removed from their place. Restoring all these things to a previous condition entails a struggle to restore the true faith.

Without the personal contact of faith with Jesus in prayer we are like a fish out of water

The Gospel is for our everyday life. We must put it into practice. To be able to do it we need the Holy Spirit, because it is not possible without Him. Without Him, it is a mere letter that kills, but the Spirit gives life. The Holy Spirit leads us to the living Jesus through the death of our old self and through our entering into Christ’s death (2Cor 4:10f). All this is not possible without the personal contact of faith with Him in prayer. Without it we are like a fish out of water.

Give thanks in helplessness and stand firm in a living faith

We must learn to accept helplessness, immediately give thanks for everything, and take God’s word as the sword of the Spirit against bitterness or complaining – in other words, put our trust in it. God’s word – the Spirit behind it – will give us strength. We only need to stop and confront our situation in a living faith: “Lord, You see it! I trust in You!” And then try to stand firm in that faith and return to it again whenever all kinds of invisible, cunning pressures or seemingly innocent or good thoughts seek to divert us from our union to Christ.

Self-humiliation and little sacrifices

The first form of love is constant self-humiliation. But you need not fabricate anything. You only need to accept the truth! If you feel bitterness towards your neighbour, remember his good qualities and his good deeds, and on the other hand your bad qualities and evil done in the past, and humble yourself before him in spirit and see Jesus in him. And God will then give you the light and fill your heart with love for this person.

God’s word to be lived out rather than philosophized about

We can do nothing more for thousands of thirsty, seeking, helpless souls than resolve again and again to surrender ourselves in meekness and humility to Our Lord Jesus Christ, so that we may have His Spirit. We see the exact opposite in the history of philosophy. The founders of various philosophical trends, obsessed with a false thought, subtly grew in pride and their rise in pride opened the power of spirit, but not the Spirit of Christ. Unlike them, we need to allow the Spirit of God to work in power. Our hidden and invisible struggle is a struggle for the salvation of thousands of immortal souls! It is faith that overcomes the world. We have to remain faithful to Jesus and His word – the Gospel! His word is to be lived out, and not philosophized about! We need to put God’s word into practice! May we live our days with Christ, so that Jesus may really be in our midst and it may be true that if two of us agree concerning anything we ask, He will give us! Jesus wants us to have this unity, and in order to have it we must each die to self on the cross, enter into Christ’s death.

Heaven is at hand!

Heaven is at hand, for I will die soon. Just a few more years and I shall stand before the gates of heaven. And should I even live a hundred more years, they will pass in no time. How powerfully the thought of heaven should motivate me! The thought of heaven filled many a saint with the fire of zeal, urging them to make the best of the short time and to lay up for themselves treasures in heaven.

Live by faith today, not tomorrow

Let us stand firm in the faith, a living faith, even in little things. Therein lies holiness. Let us open our eyes to these little things, let us accept them with faith and stand firm in the faith without complaining about the circumstances, enemies etc. We have to live by faith today, not tomorrow, though everything is seemingly calm today!

BCP: Will the Bishops of Poland refuse to participate in the sodomitic and satanic Prague sabbath?

Dear bishops, priests and faithful of Poland, on 5-12 February 2023, an assembly is to be held in Prague related to the so-called continental stage of the Synod on Synodality. It is to be attended by all presidents of the European Episcopal Conferences accompanied by three different delegates, plus ten more online. You need to be aware that participation of your president of Episcopal Conference, Archbishop Stanislaw Gadecki, and three Polish delegates would, on their part, be a multiple crime against God, the Church and the Polish nation! It is a rebellion against God and the Church, because by mere passive attendance in Prague the president of the Episcopal Conference (EC) gives consent on behalf of himself, the entire episcopal conference and the entire Polish nation to the ecclesiastical legalization of LGBTQ perversions, the punishment for which, as the Scripture warns, is both temporal and eternal fire. This criminal ecclesiastical legalization of LGBTQ abolishes God’s laws and God’s commandments. Abp Stanislaw Gadecki will thus bring down God’s curse on himself, the entire Polish bishops’ conference as well as the Polish nation. This can manifest itself in war fire and a tragic disaster for the whole of Poland.
