I recall one of the books by W. Busch. He describes World War II. He was against fascism and was in prison therefor. He says: “5 million young boys died in the war. There are practically 5 million girls who want to get married but cannot. They say: ‘No one married us!’ And these young women ask: ‘What shall we do? Shall we now break other marriages?’ No! Think of Dorcas in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 9). What’s the point of lamenting: ‘No one married me!?’ Jesus married you! So serve Him! Life is short. Jesus married you, He paid for your soul, He paid for you at Calvary! Dorcas was single too but she helped others as best she could by making garments or by acts of charity. When her dead body was laid out in the house, many people came, and widows showed Peter the garments which Dorcas had made for them, saying: “She made this for us, and this, and this…” They were weeping because they were aware of how very helpful she had been to them. Maybe some children came there too, snotty-nosed little kids, to whom she had helped, devoted her time, doing good to all. She had no family and so she cared for the poor, sacrificed herself as best she could – she lived by faith, by faith in Jesus and by love for Him. And when she died, Peter came, sent everyone out of the room, prayed for her and raised her to life. God worked a miracle. But the most important thing is this – the attitude to life. No one married you? Jesus did!

Moreover, the present-day system, which is the work of the Masons, leads ultimately to the break-up of all marriages. It makes people unable to live in marriage. What do they say when they are getting married and what when they are getting divorced?! They quarrel and hate each other. This is how the modern system brings them up; it turns them into such egoists that married life is practically unbearable. They prefer to flee from one another because they are unable to live together. A woman marries an alcoholic who beats her, or the wife leads a loose life and the husband leaves her: “I won’t live with you! I want a wife who will care for and bring up my children and not go with a different man every week. I don’t want such a wife!” But that’s how the latest subculture forms the character of girls – no faithfulness, no responsibility, no sense of family. The Western influence has destroyed it all! It started with decadent music, it’s being implanted since early childhood, it’s programmed devastation for all the world, and the result – total corruption.

If only children were given a sound education in schools, if only teachers reprimanded them for doing wrong, guiding them in responsibility, teaching them the essentials for life… There’s nothing like this! Schools do not provide a sound education. But they are not passive either. They are abnormally active! Nowadays children in schools are systematically zombified, offered a variety of training and other courses, provided instructions on and manipulated into drug addiction, homosexuality, zoophilia and all kinds of perversion. In Germany, parents whose children do not attend the classes of so-called sexual education are put in prison or their children are removed from them. There’s no neutrality any more.

O God, what to do? They destroy and kill, and we should watch it with shut mouth? Jesus is seeking someone who has the readiness to carry His cross, who offers him a headcloth like Veronica, who confesses Him even if others spit at him. We have an example – martyrs! They confessed Christ bravely and remained faithful to Him. And God seeks heroes who in these times will be ready to witness to Jesus in this world, in the conditions they live in, not just once like martyrs but perseveringly. Heroes who in spite of constant temptations to betray will remain faithful.

I remember a story of one boy who came from a wealthy family in France. I don’t remember his name. He was declared a saint. He lived about one hundred years ago, before World War I. One day when he was riding a horse, he saw a girl and was inflamed with lust for her. But he said: “Lord, on the Day of Judgment I will say to You: ‘I could sin but I did not!’” He whipped the horse and galloped away the other direction.

But you can sin by thought as well, when you form some images in your mind. Here likewise you need the radicalism of the young nobleman: “I could fail – but NO! I want to have a pure heart!!!” That’s not just the question of impurity but of other kinds of lust as well, such as stubborn adherence to your own will, hedonism and the like. You need to fight against your own self.

The Scripture says: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You gave me a body.” We can see what human body is – there are various diseases, people have their legs amputated, are confined to a wheelchair, or suffer from one illness after another. Body is just a bearer of suffering. How many people suffer in hospitals but so often fruitlessly because there is no one to tell them about the meaning of suffering, that they can be an atoning sacrifice for the salvation of the nation, for the salvation of souls. There is no one to preach to them.

Start from yourself and make a firm decision anew: Jesus, I want to live for You, I want to serve You in this short period of my earthly life!
