Reflection on Jn 15:18-19
Post date: 2021-11-01Autor: BCP
Jesus speaks about hatred on the part of the world. By the world here is not meant beautiful nature but the thinking that defies the truth and places vanity and the pride of life at the centre. Why? Because the prince of this world, as Jesus calls him, is the spirit of lies and death. With the first sin disharmony entered not only the human heart but also the material world. The Word of God says that the world lies under the sway of the wicked one (1Jn 5:19) and hates God (Jn 15:18). This world is the opposite of everything that comes from the will and wisdom of God (1Cor 1:20-27; 3:19; Jn 14:17; 15:19). The answer to the question of how the form of this world can be compared with the Bible’s account of God creating a good world (Gen 1:31) is given in Romans 5:12, where the Apostle Paul states that through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin. However, it did not happen according to the necessity of fate, but through an act of human will, disobedience and obstinacy.
BCP: Transubstantiation in Eastern and Western Liturgy (How to experience the mystery of faith)
Post date: 2021-11-01Autor: BCP
The two moments of silence are extremely important for appreciating the Eucharistic mystery. They help both the priest and the people to experience it deeply and personally. One last question: “What is needed for those who eat the bread and drink from the cup of the Lord? Let them always remember Him who died and rose again for them. And what else have they in common who always remember Him? They no longer live for themselves, but for Him!” (St Basil)
BCP: Rosary initiative in the USA and the vaccination issue
Post date: 2021-09-23Autor: BCP
The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate (BCP), which repeatedly calls for the setting up of prayer watches, i.e. continuous prayer, fully supports the initiative of US Catholics, P. J. Altman and M. Gibson, in prayer mobilization – 54 day Rosary Novena. Archbishop C. M. Viganó as well as other bishops and priests likewise call for the Rosary Novena and, above all, this has always been the most fundamental call of Our Lady of Fatima. Today, motivation for prayer is alarming. There is a threat of autogenocide not only of America but of the whole world. God alone can save us from this self-destruction, and therefore we have to cry to Him with great fervor, praying Him to save us and our nation.
BCP: Rearrangement of the liturgy (Holy Mass)
Post date: 2021-09-23Autor: BCP
The Novus Ordo marked a radical interference with both the liturgy and liturgical space. This caused a change of spirit. The horizontal began to be emphasized at the expense of the vertical – the relationship with God. A means of achieving this spiritual change was the turning of both the altar and the priest to “face the people”. The biblical model of the Jerusalem Temple had three separate sections: 1) the place where the presence of God dwelled – the Holy of Holies 2) the place where the priest offered the daily sacrifice to God 3) the place for the people
Zwangsimpfung 2021: Tod. Wo ist die Rettung? /german version/ (Video)
Post date: 2021-05-19Autor: BCP
Machen Sie einen Akt der vollkommenen Reue! Wie? Denken Sie an Ihre sündige Vergangenheit, wie der Verbrecher am Kreuz, und sehen Sie das Kreuz Christi mit den Augen des Glaubens. Wiederholt den Namen Jesu im Glauben: „Jeder, der den Namen des Herrn anruft, wird gerettet werden.“ Betet mit Inbrunst: „Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, erbarme Dich meiner, eines Sünders!“. Wiederholen Sie es fünfmal, indem Sie sich die Wunden des gekreuzigten Erlösers ansehen. Da Sie nicht wissen, wann Ihre letzte Stunde kommt, rufen Sie den Namen Jesus mindestens einmal am Tag an, bestenfalls vor dem Schlafengehen. Aber das ist das Mindeste. Behalten Sie jeden Tag eine Stunde für das Gebet und versprechen Sie Gott, dass Sie so beten werden bis zu Ihrem Tod. Jesus sagte: „Könntet ihr nicht eine Stunde mit Mir wachen? Wacht und betet!“. Während des Gebets könnt ihr auch die heiligen Schriften für einige Zeit lesen. Rufen Sie den Namen Jesus an. In seinem Namen ist die Vergebung eurer Sünden. In Jesus sind euer Heil und euer ewiges Leben!
Blasphemy at the Vienna cathedral. Pigs symbolize unclean demons. Who has them?
Post date: 2021-04-13Autor: BCP
A group of satanists under the guise of animal protection made a mockery of the Way of the Cross at the Vienna cathedral this Easter. The cross was carried by a person with a pig’s head. What would be the reaction of the Muslim community if Muhammad were degraded in such way outside a mosque? The participants would probably not survive.
The Year of the Family. What family? An LGBTQ one?
Post date: 2021-04-01Autor: BCP
It should be noted that Bergoglio, who has declared the Year of the Amoris Laetitia Family, is an invalid Pope. His exhortation is heretical and its implementation is a crime against the family, God and the Church.

Christians, on the Day of Resurrection, 4 April, gather outside the churches! Stop to a false pandemic! The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate (BCP), which is a prophetic voice, calls by the authority of God: Christians and people of good will, on the Day of Christ’s Resurrection, 4 April 2021, gather outside the churches and celebrate Christ’s resurrection with songs and prayers! This will also be your spiritual resurrection from fear and death. Throw masks on the ground outside the churches! Trample this mark of slavery and programmed death!

Reflection on Ps 112:1
Post date: 2021-02-22Autor: BCP
This psalm shows that blessed is the man who loves God’s commandments. The first of Christ’s Beatitudes reads: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” And the last one says: “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Mt 5:11-12) Psalm 1, likewise, begins with the words, “Blessed is the man” and continues, “who does not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners; but delights in the law of the Lord and reflects on His law day and night” (see Ps 1:1f).
Reflection on Ps 105:4
Post date: 2021-02-06Autor: BCP
The psalms often encourage us to seek the Lord. We should seek His face and His strength, that is, His almighty power. The process of seeking is painful. When you lose something, you feel worried and distressed, especially if it was an important or valuable thing. The most valuable thing for us is eternal life. And this life is given us by God in His Son Jesus Christ. To seek the Lord’s face means to enter into God’s presence, to realize that God sees me, and I open my heart fully to Him, knowing that there is no point in hiding anything from Him because He knows everything. In prayer, I also seek the face of His Son Jesus Christ, my Redeemer. I can imagine it vividly and specifically. The more intimate my relationship to Jesus, the more authentic this inner image. That was also why the saints emphasized interior prayer based on the contemplation of Christ’s suffering, particularly in His final hours on the cross. They focused on three short guiding principles: see, hear, and experience. With their spiritual eyes, they saw Jesus’ pierced hands bleeding, they heard the painful moaning, and they suffered with Him.
Reflection on Ps 69:14
Post date: 2021-01-09Autor: BCP
Regardless of the human author of the psalm, who applied these words to himself, it is God’s word that applies to each of us to some degree. Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink! We are confronted with the image of a man sinking in the mire. We know that the more he moves and tries to get out of it, the deeper he sinks. The only solution for him is to be saved by someone else. In a figurative sense, for each of us, the mire is our sin or addiction that enslaves us so much that we cannot get out of it by our own efforts. What is the solution? Call on the One who can save me. The soul cries to God, it cries for deliverance. “Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink!” It is already on the verge of death, on the verge of spiritual death. “Let me be delivered from those who hate me!” Human malice, behind which is often a demonic spirit, seeks to destroy an innocent soul. Lies and evil, when part of a system, receive a certain power for physical destruction, and even seek to destroy eternal life. How does God save?
Reflection on Psalm 59:2
Post date: 2020-12-27Autor: BCP
David wrote this psalm when Saul guarded the house to kill him. “Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. And Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, ‘If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.’ So Michal let David down through a window. And he went and fled and escaped. And Michal took an idol and laid it in the bed, put a cover of goats’ hair for his head, and covered it with clothes. So when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, ‘He is sick.’ Then Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, ‘Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.’ And when the messengers had come in, there was the idol in the bed, with a cover of goats’ hair for his head… So David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth. Now it was told Saul, saying, ‘Take note, David is at Naioth in Ramah!’ Then Saul sent messengers to take David. And when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as leader over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.”
BCP: Three letters about the purity of heart (The third letter – to the youth on purity and happiness)
Post date: 2020-12-15Autor: BCP
If we asked a young person a question: “Do you want to be happy?”, they would certainly reply: “YES!” and even raise both hands in agreement. – But how long would you like to be happy? A day, a week, a year? Ten years, thirty years, all life up until your death? And do you want to be happy after death as well? Deep in their souls, people desire happiness, true happiness, which cannot be taken away. That is to say that even a thought about happiness that ends one day brings sadness. Man is looking for happiness in relationships with other people, property, wealth, career, fame, success. He looks for happiness in pleasures, alcohol, drugs, but happiness cannot be found there. What follows is a disillusionment, even bigger emptiness, abandonment and pain in one’s soul. Back in his time St. Augustine expressed this desire for happiness with these words: “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in You.”
Reflection on Psalm 51:1-2
Post date: 2020-12-12Autor: BCP
“Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.” This psalm was written by King David in the situation described in 2Sam 12:1f: “Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him: ‘There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor. The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds. But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb which he had bought and nourished; and it grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup and lay in his bosom; and it was like a daughter to him. And a traveller came to the rich man, who refused to take from his own flock and from his own herd to prepare one for the wayfaring man who had come to him; but he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.’ So David’s anger was greatly aroused against the man, and he said to Nathan, ‘As the Lord lives, the man who has done this shall surely die! And he shall restore fourfold for the lamb, because he did this thing and because he had no pity.’ Then Nathan said to David, ‘You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul...’ So David said to Nathan, ‘I have sinned against the Lord.’ And Nathan said to David, ‘The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die.’”
Pensioners of the United States, become a pillar of the spiritual army
Post date: 2020-11-23Autor: BCP
The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate has previously addressed all sincere and responsible Americans with a call for spiritual mobilization and the establishment of prayer watches (https://youtu.be/a-s2HawV0WU, http://vkpatriarhat.org/en/?p=18712). We also encouraged the Americans in a prophetic prayer according to Ezekiel 37 as well as in a prayer of faith – the lifting up of a spiritual mountain of demonic forces (cf. Mk 11:23). Over the past half century, the satanization of the world has been secretly prepared by the very strong influence of pagan pseudo spirituality. It concerns mainly the popularization of Hindu yoga, transcendental meditation, Buddhist meditations, occult yin and yang, magical acupuncture, homeopathic pseudo-healing and various forms of divination, magic and superstition. One must renounce and break with this false spirituality, that is, a sin against the First Commandment. God demands continual prayer to save the United States at this critical time. Let us build a net of one-hour prayer watches (cf. Lk 18:1; 1Th 5:17). You, pensioners, are needed to fill the hours during the working day, because students and workers can only start praying when they return from school or work.
Archheretic Bergoglio brings down a curse on the Church and nations. God wants to remove the curse.
Post date: 2020-11-11Autor: BCP
At the end of October, Bergoglio gave the nuncios orders for the bishops. He manipulated them to approve and promote laws on same-sex unions. In essence, this contradicts the teachings of the Church! This is the practical impact of the promotion of homosexuality in the documentary Francesco, where Bergoglio approved unnatural and sinful laws on so-called registered same-sex partnerships as well as the crime of child adoption by homosexuals and paedophiles as a precedent. It is just another manifestation of betrayal from a series of heretical insanities by which Bergoglio destroys the institution of the papacy and the Church itself.
Americans, stand up to fight! (+ video)
Post date: 2020-11-06Autor: BCP
In August 2020, the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate called on you, US Christians, to mobilize in prayer. You, dear Christians of the United States, who have already established prayer groups and set up guards to watch in constant prayer, have become the foundation of spiritual restoration – resurrection. You, dear believers, who have not yet joined in, because no one has involved you in the prayer watches, don’t wait any longer today, after the presidential election! Begin by making a commitment to prayer. Make a promise to God specifically of one hour of prayer a day, best joining together across the country from 8 to 9 p.m. He is looking for those who will persevere in prayer. He is waiting for you too! Brother and sister, promise God one hour of prayer a day! And God will save your nation from the net through you.
BCP: Three letters on the purity of heart (The first letter – To persons consecrated to God)
Post date: 2020-10-29Autor: BCP
The first letter – To persons consecrated to God The second letter – To married couples The third letter – To youth about purity The first letter Dear bishops, priests and religious, in a seven-part commentary, the BCP reacted to the promotion of sodomy by the Jesuit J. Martin. What was the attitude of the pagan sage Diogenes towards immorality compared to Martin? It is told of Diogenes that one day at noon he went walking in the market-place at Athens, with a candle, looking for something; and when asked: “What are you looking for?” he said: “I am looking to see if I can find a man.” “Why? Don’t you see the market-place full of them?” “These,” he said, “are not men, but beasts, since they live not as men but beasts, ruled and guided by their bestial appetites.” But the fact is that immorality literally turns men into predatory and dangerous animals – beasts – if not demons incarnate. The Gospel of Christ, by contrast, gives man true dignity.
BCP’s commentary on a journalist’s interview with a homosexuality promoter, Vatican adviser, priest James Martin SJ (Part four: Conversion therapy)
Post date: 2020-10-01Autor: BCP
Publicist: “What do you think about the idea of homosexuals undergoing conversion therapy?” Martin: “Conversion therapy has been rejected by almost all renowned psychiatrists and psychologists. It can cause great psychological, emotional, and even physical harm to a person. It should be completely rejected.” Commentary: It is a lie to say that conversion therapy is rejected by all renowned experts in the field. We must add: it is rejected by those experts who promote homosexuality. The need for conversion therapy follows from the teaching of the Church and should be the fruit of repentance.
