With God’s permission, we lost our monastery overnight which housed forty Sisters, including the novices. At the same time, we lost the men’s monastery, with a retreat house and chapel, where the faithful would regularly attend liturgies on Sundays. We see it as a trial, and we try to say with patient Job: “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord!”

We put our future into God’s hands. Above all, we have at heart the whole situation, which affects not only us, and we pray that God may turn everything into a blessing both for Ukraine and other nations.

Our missionary work is now paralysed to some extent.

We believe that the only solution for Christian nations in this situation is repentance and belief in the Gospel. Repentance consists in changing the way of thinking, namely in calling the truth the truth, a lie a lie, heresy heresy, immorality immorality.
