Almost every Christian family needs spiritual rebirth which is not possible without family prayer. It is time when we can learn in practice to give our life problems to God. For the beginning, it is enough if at least two members of the family begin to pray together every evening, best from 8 to 9 p.m. – this is the so-called holy hour. At this hour, all members of the family turn off the TV, computer, the internet, and pray to God together. The beginnings are the hardest. However, if you overcome the obstacles and develop this holy habit, it will become the source of blessing and strengthen your relationship both to God and to your family. The family will begin to function properly like a healthy organism. It will be formed by the Word of God, by the wisdom of God rather than by the programme of the world which implants lies and amorality in people.

The Orthodox believers in Russia used to have a prayer corner in their houses with an icon of the Mother of God with Christ Child in her arms. This was the place where the family prayed together every evening.

At the end of the holy hour at 9 p.m., the orthodox Catholic bishops and priests give a blessing to all who prayed during that hour.

How to pray?

Jesus said: “Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray.” (Mt 26:40-41) The essence of prayer is to realize the presence of God – that Jesus sees you, hears you and loves you. First bring your sins to the light of God and call on the name of Jesus (Aramaic Yehoshua) with faith. You can repeat: “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, have mercy on me!” (Yehoshua, khuonayny) Then it is true about you: “The blood of Christ cleanses you from all sin.” (1Jn 1:7) This is perfect contrition. You will need it at the moment of your physical death, and this is what eternal life in glory with God depends on. If you refuse to repent, you will be eternally condemned! (cf. Lk 13:3)

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate encourages Christians to turn to God in continual prayer. He will give you the wisdom and strength in the fight against demonic forces of darkness. Through your faith He will save your nation. Therefore, set prayer guards. Let all pray daily from 8 to 9 p.m. (holy hour) throughout the year. 23 people divide the remaining 23 hours of the day among themselves – this is one prayer guard praying for one week. There are three other prayer guards which pray during the next three weeks – each guard prays for one week. This rhythm is repeated all the year round.
The changing of the guards is on Sunday evening, at 9 p.m. Make a list of 23 people who will keep prayer guards 23 hours during the day and start your prayer of faith the following Sunday. After the end of your week of prayers, you have a break for three weeks, and then you continue the fourth week. Pray so all the year round. God promises the salvation of your nation.

Part one: Diagnosis and the first step

The Vatican started the process of autogenocide of the Church as early as the beginning of the 20^th century. Modernism based on atheistic philosophy has penetrated into many seminaries under the guise of a scholarly exegesis of the Bible, and its adherents occupied the highest posts in the Church.

With the publication of a powerful encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907), Pope St Pius X gave the Church a rescue remedy for the deadly infection. A large percentage of professors and students of theology were dismissed. World Wars I and II followed. In 1943, Pope Pius XII, including a vague statement in his encyclical, opened the door to a so-called scholarly research of the Bible. Liberal spirits of neo-Modernism abused his authority and began to take secret measures towards self-destruction of the Church.

What is the purpose of the pseudo Pope’s appeal for hosting immigrants? Islamization of Europe! First he created the impression that the issue of immigrants is about helping Christian families in need. When the reality showed that it was not about Christians, the clergy immediately fabricated an explanation, saying that Christians should not mind whom they help. They should be, according to Card. Duka, like the Good Samaritan and help anyone. The clergy purposefully concealed the fact that the fruit would be self-destruction – both their own and of their dearest ones.

A truly patriotic attitude towards the artificially induced wave of immigrants can be seen with the Czech President: “Not a single immigrant, otherwise it will start an avalanche!” To distinguish whom to help and whom not, as the clergy suggest, is a trap and loss.

“Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture

might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” Now a vessel full of sour wine was standing there;

and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.”

“Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” Now a vessel full of sour wine was standing there;and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.”

Jesus feels physical thirst caused by the loss of blood during the scourging and crucifixion. However, He also experiences spiritual thirst. He thirsts for the accomplishment of the work of redemption and love: “God so loved the world (you) that He gave His only begotten Son…” Jesus fervently desires to finish the work of salvation. But He also thirsts in you – He thirsts for your love, He desires you to be spiritually transformed, to be in spiritual union with Him. This is the way of following and the way of the cross. It requires daily self-denial in small matters.

Reflection: Where and when did Jesus say those words? He said them when He was dying on the cross, in the last hour of His life. Who did He speak to? He spoke to the disciple standing by the cross whom Jesus loved (with divine love – agape). The disciple also loved Jesus, and so he overcame fear of death and stood by the cross. The other disciples were overcome by fear and so they did not stand by the cross.

Jesus wants us too to be disciples standing by the cross and united by love to Jesus crucified. A disciple forsakes everything for the sake of Christ, even his fear of death, because he knows that Jesus conquered death. In reward for faithfulness in the following of Christ, which is a demonstration of practical love, Jesus gives eternal life.

Jesus “saw the disciple”, “said to the disciple” and “the disciple received” the last will, or testament, of Jesus. He received the mother of Jesus. He is an example to us. Let us be Jesus’ disciples. Let us receive the mother of Jesus too.

To Orthodox priests

This year is the year of St Vladimir. Saint Vladimir broke with paganism, threw Perun into the Dnieper and adopted the one true faith which leads to salvation. The Christian monarchy in Russia was replaced by an atheistic regime and 25 years ago this regime was replaced by so-called democracy according to the Western model. Such democracies today are a transition period to US-promoted globalization. The atheistic regime was followed by a kind of revival of the Orthodox Church in Russia. However, American pastors took far greater advantage of religious freedom. They managed to establish their communities in almost all cities within a few years. Baptist and Pentecostal Churches are supported by USA. The fact is that US policy seeks to paralyze the authority of the Orthodox Church and works towards globalization not only in Ukraine but in Russia too. If Baptist and Pentecostal Churches or even some Orthodox ones are supported by USA, who are they beholden to? NWO architects and USA promote destruction of Orthodoxy in Russia and autogenocide of the nation for Judas money!

Theodore II, Patriarch of Alexandria, visited Russia (18-29 August 2015). He and Patriarch Kirill celebrated the liturgy in the Kremlin, and Theodore II gave an interview to RIA Novosti. At every step during his visit he emphasized how much he loves the Russian people and appreciates the Russian Orthodox Church… He spoke so in order to gain popularity with the public. He radically condemned fanatical Islam which, he said, creates problems wherever it exists. But then, surprisingly, he added: “I would like to emphasize that it is necessary to distinguish between the traditional orthodox Islam and fanatical Islam… Muslims are the true fountain of nobleness and goodness.” After the visit of Patriarch Theodore, most of the Russian media carried a bold headline: “Patriarch Theodore II does not see a problem in Islam as such but rather in fanatics.”

Jesus baptizes us with fire too so that this fire will burn up all dirt of moral impurity in us. If there are some impure images in our mind, let the fire burn it up. Our eye, the inner eye, must be clear. Everything must be brought to light. We need to repent time and again. We must call a lie a lie, evil evil, just as it is. This is repentance. God will then work. Do not seek help from psychoanalysts but come to Him who is the Physician of both the body and soul – to Jesus. He heals us wholly. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. And when should you come to Him? Immediately when a speck of dust – e.g. an impure image – gets into your eye: Stop! Get out! Lord, let Your fire burn it up! This is a lie!

Pseudo Patriarch

Theophilos

Jerusalem

Dear pseudo Patriarch Theophilos!

You have committed a number of crimes against God and the Church, and occupied the office of Patriarch of Jerusalem illegitimately for 10 years. You have kept the legitimate Patriarch Irenaeus in prison until this day. It is only by a miracle that he has not yet been poisoned or killed in another way.

Who took a chief interest in removing Patriarch Irenaeus and why?

It was the chief interest of globalists (NWO architects). Why? Because Patriarch Irenaeus is not in unity of spirit with them. Who was and is in unity with them is Bartholomew, the Patriarch of Constantinople, and Kirill, the present Patriarch of Moscow. In 2005, Patriarch Bartholomew and Archbishop of Kaliningrad, Kirill Gundyaev joined hands with the Greek government and staged a coup. Within two days they summoned a synod where some representatives of the Orthodox Churches did not even manage to come. They overthrew the legitimate Patriarch on a fabricated charge of selling the Church’s hotel to the Israeli government. However, the hotel is the property of the Church up to this day and there is no evidence to support the accusations against the Patriarch. After Kirill helped in this cunning crime and You occupied the office, he returned to Russia on that very same day. Soon afterwards, in reward for this and other services of his, he was promoted to the post of the Patriarch of Moscow.

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” (Mt 6:24)

God gives us His Word. It is the lamp for our life paths. The light of God’s Word must be the norm for us. Here it says to us that we cannot serve two masters. We cannot serve God and mammon. What is mammon? We suppose it to be money but it is not just money. There are a lot of things which can become mammon. Mammon is all that we prefer to God whom we should love with all our heart. In other words, it is all that our heart clings to and we then serve it. We unite to it in our spirit, open ourselves to it and then we are no longer able to serve God.

“When Jesus saw His mother, and the disciple

whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother: “Woman, behold your son!”

Then He said to the disciple: “Behold your mother!”

And from that hour that disciple received her spiritually into himself.”

Let us serve God. Yes, we are weak, but the Apostle Paul says: “When I am weak, then I am strong.” (2Cor 12:10) I keep falling but I must repent. Do not say: “Only when I become better, I will be a true Christian.” Let us come to God as we are, wretched and miserable. Jesus is waiting for us to give Him our weakness, our sin, because He wants to give us His forgiveness and peace. He wants to teach us through situations, through repentance, so that we may change our way of thinking.
