For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ,

not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.

This verse is preceded by the Apostle’s words: “Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God.” (v.27-28) The Apostle continues: “You are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.” And next: “Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfil my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition of conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.” (2:1-3)

Dear Bishops of Slovakia,

the controversial church organization called the KBS (Conference of Bishops of Slovakia), with its chairman Abp Bober, manipulated you with its resolutions, until finally, by adopting Fiducia Supplicans, it led you to the most serious crime, namely public rebellion against God! You thus publicly renounced the Gospel of Christ and received the sodomite anti-gospel, for which, according to God’s Word, the most severe punishment fell upon you, namely anathema – curse and exclusion from the Church of Christ. The Gospel of Christ is the necessary condition of eternal salvation, and on the other hand, its rejection is the cause of eternal damnation. The crime you have committed and by which you have brought down God’s curse on yourselves and on the entire Slovak nation is this rainbow synodal journey of yours, which culminated in the deliberately hidden but real transformation of the Catholic Church into a satanic New Age antichurch. The latter is still under the leadership of the so-called Holy Father who publicly dedicated himself to Satan in Canada with the assistance of a sorcerer. The Catholic faithful in Slovakia do not even know about this evil transformation of the Church. The church leaders have betrayed and renounced our Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of God and embraced the spirit of antichrist. But the faithful continue to have the same priests, the same Mass, the same baptisms, the same ceremonies, everything is the same, so nobody knows what has happened.

If our mind is not concentrated in the prayer spiritual struggle, and we are absorbed in our thoughts and absent-minded, demons laugh. If we struggle with distraction and try to abide in the particular truths of the Word of God at least to some extent, the prayer is of some – albeit very minimal – benefit. God does accept our good will. Prayer is of the greatest benefit when we have the full armour of God and we know which Bible verse to use as the sword of the Spirit – the Word of God spoken in the Spirit and at the right time – the word of prophecy – rather than the letter of Scripture or a phrase.

Sunday, 19 May 2024 is the Feast of the Descent of the Holy Spirit. On the day of Pentecost, the Apostle Peter spoke in the power of the Spirit and urged the pilgrims to be converted and repent. He said: “God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” When they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said: “Brothers, what shall we do?”

Note that some people, especially scientists, who search for certain regularities in the realm of matter, carrying out researches in engineering or medicine, often spend years in a careful search or examination in order to discover a certain law. When they discover something, they derive some enjoyment from it. Similarly, we should discover and come to know certain mysteries hidden in God. The mystery of good and evil, the mystery of the history of humanity and spiritual warfare with demons, the mystery of God’s love, God’s greatness and other mysteries which we will know in the light of God in heaven. Now we see in a mirror (1Cor 13:12), dimly, but then we shall see God and the truth face to face. Discovery and knowledge of things somehow makes man happy, fills the human heart. In heaven we will come to an ever deeper knowledge of the truths.

After the descent of the Holy Spirit, the apostles went and proclaimed two things: that Christ died for our sins and that He rose from the dead… God accompanied their evangelization with mighty signs and wonders. So it should be today. We should witness to these two fundamental truths. This is our agenda. We are to be “martyrés” – witnesses of Jesus Christ. And the Holy Spirit will bring miracles to pass.

“For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.”

For here we have no continuing city,

but we seek the one to come.

The Apostle Paul reminds the believers of his day, and us, of a profound truth that we often forget. We have no permanent home here on earth. On the other hand, we need to have and make a home here. Unfortunately, the current decadent culture, which is also massively promoted by the supranational political system with its gender ideology, seeks to break up the basic unit of society, which is the family. The family is made up of father, mother and children; they share a home. The mother has always created the atmosphere of the home. Even the grown-up children, who had their own families, would come home in times of hardship, seeking encouragement and comfort from their aged mother while she was alive. In recent years, sadly, elderly parents are being placed in retirement homes or there is even a growing tendency in Western Europe to terminate their lives as soon as possible through euthanasia, or assisted suicide. All this is brought about by this deadly, decadent ideology, which is spreading en masse and affecting Eastern Europe as well.

“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” (Jn 14:2-3)

On the fortieth day after His resurrection, Jesus ascends to heaven where He reserves a place for us. We need to realize that heaven is our home, our fatherland. For example, we can reflect on the following reality: We can see Christ on the Mount of Olives where He appears to the Apostles and to the Blessed Virgin. Jesus says to them: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Mt 28:18-19) After that, He was taken up and angels appeared and said to them: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:11)

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Mt 6:33)

Seeking is a painful process. If you have lost e.g. your identity papers or money, you seek it anxiously because you need it. And when you have found it, you rejoice. Let us seek first the kingdom of God. We ought to seek it anxiously until we find it…

Let us also seek His righteousness. It consists in the fact that Jesus took on Himself the just punishment for my and your sin and shows His mercy on us. God’s mercy is in Him. Jesus died for me and gives me freely, through faith, the kingdom of God, eternal happiness. I should know it and seek it.

“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing,

but let us exhort one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing,
but let us exhort one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

This verse is preceded by the words: “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds.” The groups meeting together at the time when the Apostle was writing this letter were probably as small as ours. However, these words applied and still apply above all to small prayer groups, which have carried the burden of the Church and called on God for light, strength and salvation.

We perceive that the biblical demand for koinonia, the formation of brotherly fellowship, is very relevant today. A group of Christian men meet together for prayer and pray to God for themselves and for the souls entrusted to them. At the same time, they seek to encourage one another to remain faithful to Christ and to the commandments He has given us in the midst of this world, despite the various pressures. Christ’s commands are not burdensome, though in certain circumstances they may require great sacrifice. But then the reward in heaven is all the greater if we persevere.

How much we have been deceived by different views of Scripture. We have forgotten to live the Scripture. The Scripture gives us directions for life. So we need to begin to learn slowly and seriously the nuts and bolts: e.g. Jesus says, “If your brother has something against you, go and be reconciled to your brother.” In other words – e.g. your brother vents his anger and rebukes you unjustly and now there is a tense situation. He becomes aware of his guilt afterwards, and is overcome with sorrow. He does not know what to do, how to apologize, and tension increases. An old proverb says ‘Silence is gold’, but in this case silence is hell – the atmosphere grows more and more tense and affects the people around too. Gloomy faces on both sides, and self-pity is working at full speed. The devil and the old self bring thousands of arguments against the brother and present his behaviour as a supreme crime. What to do? Who should make the first step, or rather, who is obliged to? According to the Gospel, he who has been wronged is obliged to make the first step. You have been wronged, and moreover, your brother has something against you!

Jesus says to the apostles: “… but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live.” (Jn 14:19) Will the apostles see Christ? Yes, they will see Him risen on the third day after His death, and then He will appear to them during forty days. And they will also see Him in the light of glory at the moment of their physical death, when they will see Him as He is. They will see Him! The first of the apostles to see Him in this way was one of the brothers for whom their mother had interceded that they should sit one on the right hand and the other on the left of Christ. Jesus then asked them: “Can you drink the cup I am about to drink?” James and his brother John said to Him: “We can.” Jesus said to them: “You will indeed drink My cup.” And they indeed did. The first to drink the cup of suffering was John, who was the only one of the apostles who experienced union with Christ’s death by being willing to die, and that was why he remained standing faithfully at the foot of the cross. His brother James was the first of the apostles to lay down his life for Christ as a martyr. He was beheaded with a sword.

When you do somebody wrong – either unknowingly or, worse still, knowingly – there is tension between you. When you then realize it, you suddenly see your fault and you see that the person you have wronged has been hurt and suffers.

I remember one example from Italy: A group of thieves – young boys – broke into a jeweller’s shop and killed the jeweller during the robbery. They were caught and sentenced to many years in prison. There was a woman with little children present at the trial. She was the jeweller’s widow. At the sight of her and her children, one of the boys suddenly understood what evil he had done, what pain he had caused them. His conscience was stirred and he begged their forgiveness. And the woman said she forgave him…

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,

let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us,

and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”
