Patriarch Elijah’s message on the feast of the Transfiguration

Three disciples, Peter, James and John, were witnesses of Jesus’ transfiguration on Mount Tabor in Galilee. The light of Jesus’ Divinity shone on them. It was a great experience for them. You think to yourself: If I had a vision, my faith would deepen. But we can see what an impact that vision had on the apostles. After a few days these three disciples were on the Mount of Olives in the Garden of Gethsemane and instead of praying with Jesus and staying with Him in His abandonment, they were sleeping. After His transfiguration, Jesus says to the apostles about His suffering and resurrection. He said to them so many times that He would rise from the dead but practically they did not believe in that, not even when it happened. How strong our corrupt nature is!

In the mystery of baptism, the work of Jesus’ death for our sake is accomplished on His part. We have been baptized into this reality. On our part, however, we must begin to live our own baptism, to actualize it. It means that when we unite by faith with the power of Christ’s death in relation to our corrupt nature, or in other words we actualize our baptism, at that moment we die together with Christ to our selfishness, our egocentrism, our pleasures and passions which enslave us and lead us away from salvation. We cannot do so by our own strength but only by faith in the power of Jesus’ death. This power of God, which works in us, is called the working of the Holy Spirit, or God’s grace.

Reflection on Col 1:27

In verse 27, the Apostle points out a mystery. We ask what this mystery among the Gentiles is. It is the mystery concerning us who often live among non-believers. The mystery is this: Christ is among us and in us at the same time. In verse 29, the Apostle Paul says: “I strive according to His working which works in me mightily.” He thus points out that Jesus is in him. But Jesus is in us, too, and we have to know about this might of God. We have to rely on His might in our struggle with original sin which is in us, as well as in our struggle with the system of the world which boycotts divine truths concerning our salvation and in our struggle with the spirit of lies and evil which works through this system of the world and has a direct impact on our thoughts and feelings. So it is an ideological and spiritual fight.

Dear Mr President, we hereby address You with a request for help and protection of our monastery in Lvov-Bryukhovychi since the lives of our Sisters are repeatedly in danger! On 13 July 2017, at 23:30, there was an attack on our monastery. An unknown group of men threw Molotov cocktails at the windows. There were 30 religious sisters and 5 guests sleeping inside. Only by a miracle of God there was no catastrophe and the monastery was not turned into a mass grave.

Reflection on Eph 6:11-12

It is said that we should put on the whole armour of God. So not only part of it, but the whole armour. And it is said that it must be the armour of God, and not of man. Why should we put it on? That we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. And what does the devil, the spirit of lies, wile us into? Into doing evil under the guise of good, or into promoting lies through a sophisticated mosaic of partial truths. So we need the armour of God, for we do not wrestle against human enemies but against principalities, against spiritual powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. It is a spiritual battle.

We must be careful, every one of us. Careful about whom? About ourselves. And about what? About how we live. And why? Because we should live not as unwise but as wise. So what should we do? Redeem the time, because the days are evil. What does it mean to redeem the time? Not to walk after vanities which pass away but to do our best in time to store spiritual treasures which thieves will not steal and rust will not destroy.

The Vatican is responsible for the most serious crimes against humanity

Post date:   2017-06-07

How can the Vatican be a conscience for the believers and the world if it supports satanic globalization? It approves perversion (e.g. the kissing of the feet of transsexuals), promotes the Islamization of Europe, and denies the existence of basic moral norms (see Amoris Laetitia). The Vatican must repent of heresies of the Second Vatican Council, which are the poisoned root of that all. It must renounce false reverence for pagan religions and thus even for their demons! It must renounce the heresy of identifying the Triune God with Allah, the highest (akbar) of 360 pagan gods of Mecca. Through Vatican II, the spirit of the world (of aggiornamento) denied the fundamental truths of faith and morals.

Reflection on Eph 4:11-12

The Lord Jesus builds up the Church, which is His Body – the Body of Christ. In building up the Church, He uses truly converted Christians, not only priests or monks. Every baptized Christian, who has been converted and received the Spirit of Christ, should thirst after the salvation of souls, especially those living around him. It is a mistake to think that it is the task of priests or monks or special missionaries to convert people. A priest should be a shepherd, but sheep give birth to sheep, shepherds don’t. So every Christian has a duty of mission – he should be an evangelist to this effect. He is called to save the souls in personal contact, face to face, in the place where he is.

Hurricane in Moscow – God’s punishment for abusing the relics of St Nicholas

Post date:   2017-05-31

On the feast of the translation of the relics of St Nicholas, 22 May, Patriarch Kirill solemnly welcomed a delegation from the apostate Vatican in the Christ the Saviour Cathedral in Moscow who brought one of the saint’s ribs. It was said impressively that his rib was far more powerful than other relics the Orthodox Church had possessed long ago. The delegation was led by the Secretary of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity (in heresy), Msgr. A. Palmieri, and members of the delegation were also representatives of the Ecumenical Institute in Bari. Russian President Vladimir Putin was forced to thank Pope Francis for lending the rib. Kirill awarded the First-, Second- and Third-Class medals to the Vatican delegates who manipulated the holy relics with the aim of opening of the door to ecumenism and consequently creating globalization unity with the heretical Vatican.

We do not wrestle against flesh and blood...

The Word of God says clearly, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age – so-called kosmokratoras.” (Eph 6:12) Are we aware of it? If we want to fight with a sling or a bow against an army with tanks, it is de facto suicide. Similarly, if we want to fight against the kosmokratoras with our feelings or anything human only, for example with our cunning, the battle is lost in advance. First of all, we must realize that the spiritual powers are leading a spiritual struggle against us. In the spiritual struggle, as the Apostle Paul writes in the Ephesians, we must have spiritual weapons and spiritual armour: the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. The sword of the Spirit, i.e. the Word of God, is not a physical sword, but a symbol of a spiritual weapon. The Apostle Paul also constantly repeats and emphasizes that we should act “in faith”.

The beauty of heaven surpasses everything

Heaven surpasses all our imagination. Let us imagine supreme happiness, unspeakable beauty, and yet heaven is far more beautiful. The Scripture says about heaven that no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him. What then this heaven must be like if it surpasses our imagination?!

How to pray the prayer of unity and power

Post date:   2017-05-22

If you are absent-minded during the prayer and you use the prayer model as a mere formality, you benefit minimally from the prayer. If you pray with the heart, you benefit more. But what is most important is to pray with faith, to concentrate your thoughts and to be in union with Christ, with His death – and the power of God works.

Reflection on Eph 2:8-9

These Bible verses need correct interpretation. Mainly: we have not been saved through our works. God has given us the grace of salvation; it is the gift of God, as the Scripture says. So no one can boast. But it does not mean that once we have obtained salvation in Christ we do not need to do good works. We should do them in cooperation with the grace of God and in union with Christ. But the foundation – salvation – has been given us freely. That is why it is necessary to carry out mission of prayer. To obtain the grace of God for the conversion of particular people, and above all to pray for the spiritual resurrection of the nation.
