Every year at the end of the Great Lent we commemorate the death and resurrection of Christ. The Lenten period is the time of preparation when we need to stop and devote more time to God and our soul. Jesus said about the liberation of man from the evil spirit: “This kind of demon does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” (Mt 17)

Fasting can be physical or spiritual.

Spiritual fasting: We should abstain from useless and harmful information. It requires discipline of vision and thought. Our thoughts are influenced by the mass media, billboards, people we talk to who think only of earthly and vain things and do not think or speak about the most important things, such as death, God’s judgment and eternity.

There is not only a “negative” aspect of fasting – that you abstain from something, but also a “positive” one – that you receive information leading to the recovery of intellectual and spiritual life.

“‘He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said,

out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’

But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive;

for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.”

“‘He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.”

On the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus came to Jerusalem despite the fact that the Jews sought to kill Him. They even sent Temple guards to arrest Jesus. But when the guards heard Him talk, they failed to carry out the order. And when the chief priests and Pharisees asked them: “Why have you not brought Him?”, the guards answered: “No man ever spoke like this Man.” (Jn 7:46) Jesus appears to be the Messiah (v.28-32), and the Church hierarchy refused to accept it. It was for this reason that He was crucified in the end. Jesus speaks here about the living water and about the Spirit. We are going to repeat these words for two weeks in our prayer stops.

To Bishops, priests, religious and the faithful

Dear Roman Catholics!

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate from Ukraine, which defends the orthodox Catholic teaching and Tradition of the Church, turns to You at the beginning of Lent.

Here in Ukraine there is a danger of civil war, and even a danger of global conflict. We have to point out that great responsibility for this situation lies with the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, namely Cardinal Husar and his successor, Msgr. Shevchuk. They are responsible for the so-called Euromaidan in Kiev. They deceived Greek Catholic believers. Parish priests permanently organized at least one bus from each parish to the Maidan in Kiev. The deceived Catholics were used as a human shield for the hired extremists from abroad who, according to the U.S. scenario of revolutionary technologies, pursued the overthrow of the legitimate government. In consequence they would promote homosexual ideology and the stealing of children, both being a priority of the U.S. foreign policy and also a priority of the EU.

Ukraine, February 21, 2014

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate calls on all the Christians of USA to start an active fight for the restoration of God’s laws. The prerequisite is the overthrow of the official and secret supremacy of Freemasons – the Illuminati – over USA and the world. Unless this evil secret government is removed, the American nation will be the main accomplice in the genocide of humanity which has already been started, and it will likewise perish.

The current political government of the United States destroys humanity by elevating homosexuality as a priority. It is associated with gender ideology and so-called reproductive health global programs resulting in a catastrophic demographic decline and civilizational diseases, including the abuse of children from early childhood through so-called sexual education. USA also provokes conflicts and organizes bloody revolutions around the world.

“Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the

last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh

and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.”

Jn 6:54-56: “Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.”

Chapter six of the Gospel of John describes the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves, when Jesus fed five thousand people and twelve baskets were filled with leftovers. Then Jesus departed to a deserted place by Himself and prayed there. The Apostles went over the sea in a boat and Jesus was walking on the sea. On the next day, the people who had eaten of the loaves and been filled came to Jesus and He spoke about the bread from heaven. He said: “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” And then: “I am the living bread. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. If any man eats of this bread, he shall not die.” He also said (v.53): “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.”

Vatican Secretariat of State

Città del Vaticano

At the time when USA and the EU have elevated gender homosexuality and the stealing and devastation of children as a priority of their policy, the Vatican makes a mockery of Christianity and all humanity by being hypocritically silent on these crimes and thus de facto approving them. The tragedy is that instead of taking a resolute stand the Vatican canonizes an apostate Pope who paved the way for mass apostasy in the Church and satanization of the nations in Catholic territory.

Canonization of the heretical Pope John Paul II is scheduled for Sunday 27 April 2014.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word

and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life,

and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life

Jn 5:24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.”

Whenever Jesus meant to emphasize a certain important truth, he introduced it with the words: “Amen, amen, I say to you”, or “Truly, truly, I say to you”. It is similar to the words of a judge claiming authority when he delivers a verdict on behalf of the nation. What important truth concerning each of us is Jesus going to say? He speaks about eternal life, death and judgment. These are very serious things, existential and unavoidable. The first truth relates to the present time and eternal life. Jesus says: “has eternal life”. The second truth relates to the future: “shall not come into judgment”. And the third truth relates to the past: “has passed from death into life”.

Lvov (Ukraine), February 12, 2014

Your Excellency,

You have written an appeal to the U.S. Government to punish the Ukrainian Government for alleged crimes on the EuroMaidan.

Quotation from Your letter: “Today I ask all Catholics in the Greater Philadelphia region to pray urgently for the Church in Ukraine and to press our elected federal representatives for financial restrictions on Ukraine…”

Response: You hypocritically call for prayers for the Church in Ukraine. The leaders of this Church, Card. Husar and Msgr. Shevchuk, exploit the common faithful of the UGCC as a live shield on the Maidan. The power behind them is trained foreign terrorists who are seeking to overthrow the Government by means of the so-called U.S. revolutionary technologies.

Lvov (Ukraine), February 9, 2014

Due to unlawful interference of the EU and USA in the internal affairs of Ukraine, Ukraine has found itself on the brink of civil war. Only thanks to the prayers of the faithful God does not allow this war. The U.S. have financed and organized extremist attacks of radicals, given both financial and political support to the EuroMaidan, sent extremist groups to Ukraine, etc. The U.S. revolutionary technologies used the networks built in Ukraine by so-called charitable, in fact subversive organizations. The paradox is that the most powerful ideological force behind the current globalization efforts in Ukraine is the treacherous Church hierarchy, namely the Head of the UGCC S. Shevchuk and the Head of the UOC KP Filaret, along with the leaders of the so-called Council of Churches. Shevchuk and Filaret have made several visits to Brussels. They present themselves as representatives of the nation without the authorization of the legitimate government. Moreover, these days Shevchuk and Filaret hold talks with representatives of the U.S. government in Washington, asking them for “active intervention” even at the cost of bloodshed. The aim is occupation of Ukraine by active leaders and recruited Masons, who hypocritically call themselves “the nation”. The U.S. sponsor 150,000 activists whom they have used to build out a network. Through million-dollar bribery in the highest offices they have created a shadow government.

Lvov (Ukraine), 30 January 2014

The most abominable form of tyranny over children and population is taking flesh under the “humanistic” slogan of the fight for human rights and freedoms in Italy today. The Italian government has attempted for several years to legalize gender ideology which places all forms of sexual perversion on the same level as the natural intimate relationship between a man and a woman. Not only that, all these forms of sexual perversion are termed sexual orientation and given the status of “human right”. If anyone opposes, he is accused of “phobia”.

In 2013, the Italian government removed the use of the words ‘father’ and ‘mother’ from official state documents, thus manifesting its anti-family policy. By legalization of gender ideology the words ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ are eliminated and replaced by the word ‘spouse’, whereby the sound natural relationship between a man and a woman is completely destroyed. Various forms of sexual perversion are more important to the Italian government than the primary cell of society, which is the family – a natural and stable relationship between a man and a woman.

Lvov (Ukraine), 6 February 2014

On 4 February 2014, the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate and the Bishops’ Synod of the UO GCC called for prayer mobilization. Today they call for forgiveness.

In the past, the Ukrainian people suffered from Poles, Austrians, Russians and Germans. In the 20^th century, they were struck by famine and went through two world wars.

In the 1990s, Ukraine achieved independence. Patriotism founded on hatred and unforgivingness was false. Galicians use a derisive nickname “Moskali” or “Muscovites” for eastern Ukrainians and eastern Ukrainians use “Banderivtsi” or “fascist bandits” for Galicians.
