We live in times when one is casting doubt upon the essential truths of faith and upon basic moral values. We are exposed to pressures of neopaganism. The crisis of identity of clerical and religious life is caused first of all by historic-critical theology (method) and by so-called respect for other religions. The majority of religious have abandoned the first love to the Lord Jesus (Rev 2:4) which stands on two pillars, namely – on the contemplation of last things (death, judgement, eternity) and on the conversion from the spirit of the world, the receiving of the Spirit of Christ and the following of Him in everyday life. Instead of this sound basis the religious have uncritically opened themselves to various oriental meditations and modern psychologies.

The substance of repentance is to break up with the spirit of this world and open fully to the Spirit of God. Without the spirit of repentance, spirit of prayer and truth there will be no change.
