True love of yourself

How often it happens that the worst vagabond, if he turns to God with a sincere heart, is saved rather than righteous pharisees. But the fact is that pharisaism and deceit is in the hearts of us all. That is why Jesus speaks about it in the Gospel. When a tax collector and a Pharisee went up to the temple to pray, the Pharisee prayed thus: “O God, I thank You that I am not like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I get…” The Pharisee’s deeds were not bad, but what was his heart like? His heart was not broken before God.

The Apostle Peter said to the Jews on the day of Pentecost: “You killed God; you crucified Jesus!” They were cut to the heart… and they asked: “What shall we do?” “Repent, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

Indeed, the Holy Spirit comes each time we repent. Every day we make mistakes time and time again, we sin by thoughts, finding fault with everyone… We must stop: “Lord, forgive me, I am twice as bad. And if this person sins and causes offence, forgive him too.” But we immediately condemn our neighbour and think how good we are.

God wants to open our eyes

If we deal with problems only by our reason or emotions, we obtain some experience but it is not sufficient. The most important thing in our life is to walk in the truth, i.e. to be humble. The devil is a very, very intelligent spirit. Even the very last spirit of lies is more intelligent than Einstein or anyone else. If we try to fight against the spirit of lies with logic, he deceives us. He exploits everyone’s weakness – women’s emotions and men’s logic. However, if we really want the Holy Spirit to lead us and to work through us, we need to stop: “Lord, I see, feel or understand it in this way but now I stand in Your light.” Jesus says: “I am the light of the world.” So if we stand in the light of God, Jesus opens our eyes as He opened the eyes of Mary Magdalene after His resurrection. She did not know Him; she supposed Him to be the gardener. Only when Jesus called her by name, her eyes were opened and she cried out: “Rabboni!” On the same day, two disciples went to Emmaus and were joined by Jesus who pretended to be a pilgrim.

God speaks to us…

God speaks to us but the problem is that we are unable to hear Him. The problem is in our receiver. Our heart needs to be attuned to His voice. He wants to work through you, through your faith too. The weaker we are, the more trust we need to place in the Lord, because “when I am weak, then I am strong”. Jesus, I trust in You.

Do not indulge in self-pity but go to Jesus, cling to Him and learn from Him. He will give you true wisdom, He will give you strength, He is alive, He is here, and He loves you more than your parents or your children can love you. He loves you more than you love yourself.

Why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?

Why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking? It is a question addressed to each of us. Why are you weeping? We weep when we lose something or when we feel pain in our soul.

Now is a time when the souls of defenceless children are being deprived of Jesus. Whenever we lose the living Jesus, we should weep. If the soul takes pains to seek God, God can touch this soul.

Whom are you seeking? Jesus! And whom are we seeking? How often we seek pleasure, money, human praise, vanity… But all glory is senseless. We should seek God, seek the truth, seek moral values, seek what gives us eternal life, and our eternal life is in Jesus. Our heart should ache at the living Christ being cast out of the souls. Without Him there is no eternal life, without Him there is eternal punishment and moral devastation.

The old self must be judged

The liar and murderer constantly pulls our leg. We have found ourselves betrayed a thousand times and yet we habitually believe and believe and believe him and ourselves, and we do not believe God. That’s the order of the day. Whenever we are to receive something by faith, we immediately get into a bad mood or feel resentment. The spirit of lies simply leads us by the nose in our spiritual life without end. Concerning material things, we can see it easily; we look back and know that we were deceived. We singe our feathers and so we are more careful the next time. However, concerning spiritual things, it is pitiful that we keep believing the liar! You ask: And when will we manage to believe Jesus at last? Answer: When we stop being curious like Eve and stop pondering on the liar’s intrusive thoughts by which he attacks us in the smallest matters every day. We fail to walk in God’s Word or to think about it in particular situations, but whenever we get an idea to do something and feel like doing it, we do it so, cling to it and take it as our own, and it never crosses our mind that we should ask in faith what God wants us to do.

The mystery of the gift of a new nature

Dying on the cross, Jesus said to the disciple: “Behold, your mother.” We are saved in the holy name of Jesus: “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (cf. Rom 10:13) Jesus assumed human nature through Mary and the Holy Spirit. Mary is not God but the Mother of God, and she is full of grace (cf. Lk 1:28). Jesus comes into our heart, too, through Mary and the Holy Spirit. Mary represents us, humans – in fact only those who received Christ. She stood by the cross and experienced the mystery of unity – i.e. crucifixion and death with Christ. She also experienced the truth of Eph 2:6: “He raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places.” She was raised up with Christ at the moment when Christ appeared to her. The Scripture is silent on this event but the Tradition confesses it. In baptism we were grafted on these two mysteries – death and resurrection with Christ. These mysteries should be actualized in us by faith and by the grace of the Holy Spirit.

The only remedy for everything is Jesus

The only remedy for everything is Jesus. On our part we need to learn to deny our self, our self-centredness, faultfinding, envy or self-pity time and again. If we nourish it, there may be a price to pay for it – the enemy will claim his right to harm us. Therefore, it is better and wiser – for our own sake – to humble ourselves, and we will be sound in mind and body. But of course our soul can only be healed by Jesus. He is our Healer and by His wounds we are healed. Let us give all our sins, illnesses and problems to Him. If we do not do so, if we are only concerned with ourselves and do not care about Him, we cannot be healed, or our problem develops into another one and the enemy is given a new chance to claim his right.

Motivation for the Lenten period

In the Lenten period, bear in mind the basic realities: You shall die. You shall stand before the judgment seat of God. Your eternity will either be happy or unhappy. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, suffered and died for your sake to give you eternal happiness after death. Your impurity made Him suffer bloody scourging, your pride made Him suffer humiliation when He was crowned with thorns and covered with spittle. Your devious sinful paths made Him walk the way of the cross. The death of Christ conquered sin and the devil and opened for you the way to eternal glory. Jesus says to you today: “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me.” Where to? To Golgotha. Narrow is the path (Mt 7:14) that leads through the death of Christ to eternal life.

In the Lenten period, make a resolution to deny yourself at least once a day. Self-pity, envy, impure thoughts, anger… Say: “Jesus, I deny myself, I deny myself… I break with the spirit of lies and vanity.”

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also

On the Sunday before the beginning of Lent in the Eastern Church, we shall hear the passage from the Gospel of Matthew: “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Mt 6:14-21)

Announcement

With God’s permission, we lost our monastery overnight which housed forty Sisters, including the novices. At the same time, we lost the men’s monastery, with a retreat house and chapel, where the faithful would regularly attend liturgies on Sundays. We see it as a trial, and we try to say with patient Job: The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord!”

We put our future into God’s hands. Above all, we have at heart the whole situation, which affects not only us, and we pray that God may turn everything into a blessing both for Ukraine and other nations.

Our missionary work is now paralysed to some extent.

BCP: An open video letter to ex-Pope Benedict XVI: annulment of invalid beatification of John Paul II

Benedict XVI
Ex-Pope
Monastero Mater Ecclesiæ
Italy

Your Holiness,

the mass media have currently launched a hurtful campaign against you. We do not want to comment on this issue here. We are addressing you in relation to another matter, namely the issue of invalid beatification of Pope John Paul II, which you declared on 1 May 2011.

On behalf of all sincere Catholics, we ask you to revoke this invalid beatification.

7 February 2022

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate (BCP) is the prophetic voice of one crying in the wilderness.

We turn to you, Dr Fuellmich, and we want to publicly thank you for bravely standing up for the truth to save many, unlike those who have been silenced by money, fear or a desire for a career. At the same time, we would like to thank all your co-workers who, like you, risk being persecuted, or even losing their lives. We also express our thanks again to the brave medical experts and doctors as well as courageous politicians, such as the President of Belarus or the late President of Tanzania.

BCP: Brave specialists from USA, Russia and the Czech Republic share the truth about vaccination

28 December 2021

The early months of 2020 were marked by an outbreak of an infection which caused less deaths than ordinary seasonal flu. An artificial pandemic not only affected healthcare, but also paralyzed the economy, education, private life, and undermined morale. The Vatican has taken an active part in this artificial pandemic.

BCP: The necessity for a profession of faith by the Pope, bishop and priest

23 December 2021

As early as 2017, Cardinal Brandmüller emphasized the need for the Pope to publicly profess the faith. He reminded that this practice had existed in the Church from time immemorial.

At present, it is highly topical to revive this practice and extend it to bishops and priests. The faithful must know whether their priest or bishop adheres to orthodox doctrine or is a heretic who has excluded himself from the Church.

BCP: Response to Card. D. Duka’s call for vaccination (28 November 2021)

Cardinal Dominik Duka

Archbishop of Prague

Dear Cardinal Dominik,

all honest citizens in the Czechia, both believers and non-believers, were shocked by your pastoral letter on the First Sunday of Advent, 28 November. The fact that the Chairman of the Czech Bishops’ Conference Graubner publicly showed who he served and serves  (https://bcp-video.org/advent-call-to-repentance/) was clear to many. But the fact that you have united with the system and the spirit of lies and thus spit in the face of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, is a painful shock. By doing so, you have thrust a knife into the heart of the Czech nation. You are sending the nation to a gradual slaughter. Many are unable to understand how this could have happened to you.

BCP: Advent call to repentance for Abp. Jan Graubner

November 19, 2021

Dear Archbishop Jan,

the Czechs and Moravians are shocked by your frivolous and criminal propaganda campaign for a fatally dangerous experimental gene serum called a vaccine. As the chairman of the Czech Bishops’ Conference, i.e. as the highest Catholic authority in the Czech Republic, you wrote an appeal to Czech Catholics at a time when brave doctors organized demonstrations in Prague on November 14 and 17. These doctors opposed the covid terror and media lies, as well as the pressure from corrupt politicians.
