Quote from the press: “The day before St Vladimir’s Day, 27 July 2021, more than 300,000 people from all over Ukraine passed through Kiev, according to police. Hot weather, the so-called pandemic (none of the participants wore a mask), and 35 degrees in the shade. But the nation gathered! The nation went in procession! The nation prayed!”

Thank God that the nation gathered, that the nation went in procession, and that the nation prayed. The Orthodox Christians in Ukraine expressed their manifesto of faith by commemorating the anniversary of the baptism of Kievan Rus. They do so every year, with ever greater participation. The last time there were over 250,000 participants in the march. This year there were more than 300,000 of them.

On this anniversary, let every Christian realize again that we were grafted through baptism into the life of God. We became children of God and heirs of God’s kingdom. “We were immersed through baptism in the death of Christ” (Rom 6:3-5), which means that the root of evil in our nature – original sin – was paralysed.

However, baptism alone will not save us. Jesus says: “He who believes and is baptized will be saved!” In addition to baptism, the condition of salvation is faith, faith in Christ and His Gospel. And this faith grows when we talk to God in sincere prayer, when we confess our guilt and sins before Him. Also by reading the Holy Scriptures and the lives of saints – martyrs and heroes of faith – we open ourselves to the same Spirit of truth that was in them. Today, being a true Christian means being a hero. One must resist the enormous pressure that seeks the genocide of true Christianity, that is, hell on earth and hell after death. Scripture warns us especially today – those who will receive the mark of the beast will end up in the lake of fire! Every Christian and every person of good will is facing this danger today. Every bishop and every priest should warn against this path to destruction and encourage us in faith and true heroism. Every baptized person must be willing even to lose his temporal life for the salvation of his soul. Thus he will receive the crown of eternal glory.

It is a tragedy that today the papal office is occupied by a man who promotes idolatry with the Pachamama demon, sodomitic marriages, and dangerous mRNA vaccination. This is the programme of satanization of the Church! Every Christian must break with this path and the spirit of death and must not obey Bergoglio, a Judas.

We ask: Who does the Polish episcopate, for example, serve today? Christ and the salvation of souls? Or Bergoglio and the system of death? This question, however, applies to all bishops of Europe, America and the world. Are any of them willing to organize at least once a year such a mass procession, connected with the manifestation of faith and relationship to Christ, as was the case in Kiev?
