Repentance \u2013 metanoia \u2013 means a change of thinking and metastrophein a change of lifestyle.<\/p>\n

1) Daily tithe of time to God<\/p>\n

2) Celebration of the seventh day<\/p>\n

3) Liturgical reform<\/p>\n

4) Jerusalem and 12 patriarchates<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

ad 1) Daily tithe of time to God<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

What was the sense of material tithes? Making these offerings, man expressed his dependence on and gratitude to God. The secularized world today boycotts the majesty of God, the meaning of life and the reality of eternity. A tithe of time is 2 hours and 24 minutes<\/span>. An instrument of the spirit of lies in the world is mass media and in the Church it is the heresies of HCT and reverence for paganism and its demons which results in tolerance to amorality. All this is a betrayal of God! Over the last half century, particularly the influence of television and the adoption of the spirit of the world \u2013 secularization \u2013 caused spiritual schizophrenia among Catholics. Jesus\u2019 words are always true: \u201cSeek first the kingdom of God.\u201d<\/em> (Mt 6:33) A hardy life of prayer is the way of salvation. Academic Christianity with dead theories and without prayer is the way to perdition. Many Christians received Christ as their Saviour and Lord, as well as the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, some of them ended up just like the Israelites who came out of slavery in Egypt, but died in the desert (of the world). It is not enough to be converted, it is not enough to receive the Holy Spirit, it is not enough to read or \u201cstudy\u201d the Bible. Christians must follow Christ! But this is not possible without a persevering life of prayer. The Catholic Church today is a spiritual cemetery (cf. Ez 37:1-10). The Spirit of God sets a prophetic condition for the resurrection of the dead Church \u2013 a tithe of time!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ie: 20:00-21:00<\/strong> holy hour, at 21:00 many priests bestow a blessing.<\/p>\n

How to pray? There are several forms. However, by no means can prayer have any elements of Oriental meditation. Prayer must be Christocentric. (see https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=11475<\/a>)<\/p>\n

In addition to the holy hour, we pray 7 stops<\/strong> during the day \u2013 when getting up, before bedtime, and five more times during the day \u2013 at 9:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00, 21:00 (see Ps 118:164) (see https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=4952<\/a>). Altogether, these prayer stops take 20 to 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Then there is still one hour left. One needs at least one hour a day for prayer in solitude<\/strong>. Jesus says: \u201cGo into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father.\u201d<\/em> When pressed for time, you can pray for half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening or during the day. Spiritual renewal requires self-denial, which is part of the fight for the salvation of your soul. Start and persevere for one year. Make this promise to God! Join prayer guards for one week a month. You will help create continual missionary prayer (see https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=11481<\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ad 2) Celebration of the seventh day<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

Sunday is the day of the Resurrection and the Holy Spirit. During the day, we devote 4-5 hours to prayer focused on the Resurrection of Christ and Descent of the Holy Spirit. Start this programme of celebration of Sunday:<\/p>\n

On Saturday evening, after 21:00, the family prays one-hour prayer related to the Resurrection (see https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=785<\/a>).<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, preferably as early as 5:00-7:00, two hours of prayer (see https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=796<\/a>, https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=794<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Before or after 9:00, one hour of prayer related to the truth of Pentecost (see https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=800<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Unless the priest publicly dissociated himself from the heresies of the apostate Vatican, the believers must no longer attend liturgies celebrated by him because they will thus bring down a curse on themselves (cf. Gal 1:8-9)<\/span>!<\/p>\n

In the afternoon, Christian believers gather together in small groups, either in someone\u2019s home or they can, for example, rent a classroom in a school. Between 15:00-16:00 they pray together one more truth of Resurrection (see https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=11579<\/a>, https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=802<\/a>). Then they can reflect on the word of God about half an hour and listen to a lecture. The lectures are prepared by one or two of the men present. Together, they reflect on what has been read and told. The next item on the agenda is sharing of testimonies to encourage each other. Then the community is divided. Men discuss practical issues separately and women separately. It is necessary to learn and practise evangelization also in private \u2013 a personal testimony. People converted in this mission should meet during the week for one hour of a biblical lesson and prayer under the guidance of elder brethren.<\/p>\n

This fellowship lasts about two to three hours in addition to prayers.<\/p>\n

During the holy hour (20:00-21:00), everybody prays in their own homes. It should be more relaxed \u2013 songs of praise, or reflection on the spiritual experience of the day, prayers for the affairs of the next week. One-third of an hour should be devoted to the reflection on Jesus\u2019 apparition to the Apostles and Thomas on Sunday evening (see https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=802<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Celebration of Sunday leads to restoration of the faith of the individual as well as to restoration of the family and the entire nation<\/span>!<\/p>\n

Appendix: Cleansing our homes<\/span><\/p>\n

If we do not want the TV or immoral, pagan and occult symbols to reign in our homes but we want our houses to be houses of prayer (private and family prayer and the celebration of Sunday), they need to be cleansed and sanctified.<\/p>\n

Christian homes used to have basins of holy water on the wall near the door. The Israelites had an inscription above the door: \u201cYou shall love the Lord…\u201d<\/em> (Deut 6:5-9) (cf. \u201cMe and my house, we will serve the Lord.\u201d<\/em> (Jos 24:15b). In the Eastern Church, there used to be a so-called \u201cred corner\u201d<\/em> with an icon of the Mother of God or Christ, and in the evening, when the family prayed together, they lit a lamp. In the Western Church, Christians had their homes decorated with holy pictures. Unfortunately, contemporary Christian homes have been desacralized. It is necessary to return to the sound elements of the Christian tradition (cf. http:\/\/uogcc.org\/en\/letters\/article\/?article=2186<\/a>)<\/p>\n

It is necessary to cleanse your home of occult symbols<\/span> associated with the zodiac, with various symbolic Oriental ornaments, Greek or Egyptian mythology, the pharaohs, Chinese dragons, frogs, elephants, turtles… This is the style of pagan feng shui decoration tied up with Chinese Buddhism and worship of demons. Christian soul should be the tabernacle and Christian home the temple of God, a place where the children of God dwell and God\u2019s Spirit reigns. Decoration should be used for this purpose.<\/p>\n

Similarly, your library needs to be cleansed of immoral and occult books and so does your sound archive. The Scripture is the most important book. A Christian should also have biographies of the saints and sound literature.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ad 3) Liturgical reform<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Second Vatican Council turned the altars to face the people but did not turn hearts to God. Liturgical space and liturgy have been reformed in the spirit of aggiornamento, i.e. loss of sacrality. The tabernacles have been transferred from the centre to the side chapels, and the Catholic church has lost the character of the house of prayer. God revealed the model of a temple to Moses and Ezekiel.<\/p>\n

The temple is divided into three parts:<\/p>\n

a) the place for believers,<\/p>\n

b) the place where the priest makes an offering \u2013 the sanctuary,<\/p>\n

c) the place of God\u2019s presence \u2013 the Holy of Holies.<\/p>\n

According to the biblical model, the Holy of Holies should be separated by a curtain and behind it would be the sanctuary. There should be a lamp with eternal light before the curtain and two adoring angels near it or on the curtain. The sanctuary \u2013 the Holy of Holies \u2013 is the place where God dwells under the species of the Eucharistic Bread. The sanctuary should be separated from the people according to the model of the Eastern Church, at least by a symbolic iconostasis. The priest would face the Holy of Holies. (see photographs and model of liturgical space: https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=11553<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The reform of the liturgy<\/span><\/p>\n

The Latin Church has been in theological dispute with the Orthodox Church about the epiclesis<\/span> in the liturgy for about 700 years. Leavened and unleavened bread was a controversial issue too. The Latin liturgy did not include the epiclesis, that is the invocation of the Holy Spirit, for fear of Montanism. The Divine Liturgy of St Basil (4th century) and St John Chrysostom does contain the epiclesis. St Basil only reduced the celebration of Sunday, which began on Saturday night, continued with the night vigil, refreshment, prayers, hymns and the celebration of the liturgy. Sometimes it lasted until noon.<\/span> St Basil just selected the Divine Liturgy<\/span> and gave it its present form. In the 9th century, Sts Cyril and Methodius brought this liturgy to the Slavs in the territory of the present-day Czech Republic and Slovakia.<\/p>\n

The question of the epiclesis today no longer needs to be a point of discussion, but it must be put into practice in the liturgy \u2013 not only a priest but also the believers should live this moment by faith.<\/p>\n

The words of institution spoken by Jesus at the Last Supper are followed by the anamnesis which recalls the major events of the life of Christ, and the anamnesis is followed by the epiclesis, i.e. fervent invocation of the Holy Spirit, so that the offerings as well as the Christians present may be transformed (see https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=11566<\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ad 4) Jerusalem and 12 patriarchates<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

Since 1 May 2011, the Vatican has been under God\u2019s anathema. The Vatican Congregations support globalization autogenocide of humanity. There is only one way out of a curse \u2013 adequate repentance \u2013 a reform!!!<\/span> The means towards a reform must be personal repentance of the individuals and entire nations. What can contribute to it is to decentralize the apostate Vatican and to devolve power to 12 patriarchates. The Patriarchate with the spiritual authority of Peter will no longer be the Vatican but Jerusalem<\/span>. The Patriarch can be the Orthodox Patriarch Irenaeus who has been kept in prison in Jerusalem by globalists already for 10 years. He has not sinned against Christ, the Gospel and the Church by proclaiming heresies, and is not an instrument of the globalization lobby. We suggest that the 12 patriarchates should include two Orthodox patriarchates, namely in Greece and Russia, and Western patriarchates \u2013 in Italy (Rome), France (Avignon), in the Czech Republic (Velehrad), South America, North America, Africa, Australia, China and India.<\/p>\n

The purpose of decentralization is to return to the Christian roots, to the spiritual Jerusalem \u2013 the early Church<\/span>. To receive Christ, His Gospel and the Apostolic Tradition!<\/span> The Vatican Congregations and the structure of Cardinals no longer fulfil the purpose. Each Patriarchate shall retain its own liturgical tradition and independence in the matters of consecration of bishops, canonization of saints etc. The Western patriarchates shall retain celibate priesthood and give it the right direction after the reform. This requires that priests live a semi-monastic life. They shall spend more than one day a week together in small groups, devoting themselves to prayer and the Word of God (see https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?p=11421<\/a>). They shall also learn team evangelization or reevangelization. The aim is to train disciples and to restore living Christianity ready even for the shedding of the blood of martyrs.<\/p>\n

The Vatican has given the programme of aggiornamento \u2013 adaptation to the world, which has resulted in internal decay. Therefore, the individual patriarchates have to identify a common agenda that will withstand globalization autogenocide. Every bishop and every priest must start the reform by an example of personal repentance.<\/span> They must separate from the heresies of HCT, syncretism and tolerance of immorality. If a bishop or priest remains in false unity with the apostate Vatican, every Catholic believer is obliged to separate from this priest or bishop and consider him a heretic! Unless the believers do so, they are under a curse! If they obstinately persist in this state until death, they will be eternally condemned!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christianity must become again the salt of the earth and the pillar of the truth! This is the programme of repentance and reform<\/span>: To restore all things in Christ!<\/p>\n
