We hereby present a concrete programme of preparation of priests for internal mission in Russia:

Priests shall lead a semi-monastic way of life. Saint Basil emphasized: “Woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up.” (Ecc 4:10) From Sunday evening to Tuesday noon it is necessary to create the conditions of spiritual desert – that means to seclude yourself from your family and daily worries and to devote time to prayer and God’s Word in fellowship. The model presented here has been practised by a community of seven bishops for several years and it has proved its worth.

Print the material for the spiritual programme as a brochure and use it at the prayer meetings (one and a half days).

If you pray this prayer, and you are not a citizen of Russia, so pray for your nation.
