Word of Life – Rom 6:22 (13/1/2019 – 27/1/2019)
“But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God,
you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.”
An admonition to a Judas bishop
7 January 2019
The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate (BCP) hereby issues a public admonition to Bishop Miklós Beer before all Catholics of Hungary. By his public call he supported demonstrators against the legitimate government which defends Christianity and Hungary. The government is under great pressure because it effectively protests against violent Islamization and gender demoralization associated with the stealing of children and their adoption by homosexuals or paedophiles.
Dear Bishop, Your attitude has proved that You are in favour of gender demoralization and violent Islamization, and You should herd swine rather than spiritual sheep. Your attitude is a sign of unbelief and betrayal of Christ’s teachings and of Your own nation! Did You accept Soros’ Judas money, as was obviously done by those who went out into the streets?
If You still have a conscience, resign Your office as soon as possible and repent of the offence You have caused to the Church and the nation!
Reflection on Rom 6:19
“I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.”
This verse expresses again what this chapter has already said before, namely that we should not present our members as slaves of uncleanness, or of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness. On the contrary, we should now put our members fully at the disposal, i.e. present them as slaves, of righteousness for holiness. The Apostle indicates here that sin particularly exploits uncleanness and lawlessness. Therefore we have to stand firmly on the side of righteousness. There are as it were two banners here – the banner of slavery to evil against the banner of true freedom. In this battle, we have to learn the art of fighting. Above all, we should avoid the near occasion of sin, which is a sign of true humility and wisdom. If it is not possible, and we have done the best in our power, God will show us a way out.
Word of Life – Rom 6:19 (30/12/2018 – 13/1/2019)
“I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.
For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness,
and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness,
so now present your members
as slaves of righteousness for holiness.”
A letter of thanks to Hungary for rejecting Islamization
27 December 2018
Dear Mr Prime Minister, dear Members of the Hungarian Government,
the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate would like to thank You on behalf of all honest citizens of the Czech and Slovak Republics for having stood against Goliath like David. On 17 December 2018, You did not sign the UN crafty pact on so-called refugees the aim of which is the same as that of the pact on migrants, i.e. Islamization.
It is very sad that the politicians of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland let themselves be deceived and betrayed their own nations. If only they opened their eyes at least now and put a definite stop to the self-destruction programme.
Francis Bergoglio threatened the V4 countries with hell unless they accepted Islamization. But it is him who will go to hell unless he repents of his crimes, heresies and apostasy!
Christmas 2018, pastoral letter
The year has passed, not one minute will return. Again, we stand before the mystery of Christ’s birth to be spiritually united with Him. Before our spiritual sight a history unfolds, associated with the town of Bethlehem. The Holy Virgin and Saint Joseph came here all the way from Galilee for the census ordered by the Emperor Augustus. The child’s birth is approaching, and there is no place for them anywhere. The child is the promised Messiah, predicted by the prophets, and so long awaited by all mankind. They did not find a place in any house, in any shelter, except in the Bethlehem stable, where our Saviour was born, who is Christ the Lord!
The moving poetry of Christmas has touched the hearts of people of good will for two millennia. In the Holy Night, shepherds kept watch over their flock in the close vicinity. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared to them. His radiant appearance and his words penetrated them deeply: “Do not be afraid! I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people. For there is born to you this day the Saviour, who is Christ the Lord! And this will be the sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” And straightway, there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will!”
A Christmas call to Christians and people of good will, not only in the Czech Republic
23 December 2018
The meaning of Christmas is that God became man and was born as a defenceless child in a poor stable in Bethlehem. He came to save us from the slavery of sin, the source of which is in us, as well as from the devil, who is a liar and a murderer. We have a Saviour, and that’s the good news of great joy! It is not just about obtaining the good here on earth; He gives us eternal life in God’s kingdom! As many as have received Jesus have become children of God. If they remain faithful to Him, after crossing the bridge of death they will enter eternal glory. He has prepared it for those who love Him and keep His commandments (Jn 14:23).
Today more than ever before, we realize that we need a Saviour. Previously, all Europe with all spheres of public life were penetrated with the spirit of Christianity. The society was governed by just laws based on the Ten Commandments. The Lisbon Treaty, however, has abolished it. It has established anti-laws which promote injustice, immorality, and result in self-destruction of Europe and mankind. It is beyond human power to be saved from the extreme pressure of diabolical cunning and manipulation. Demoralizing and psychological mechanisms lead to a disturbance of mind up to bondage or even demonization of man, to hell on earth and hell after death. The only salvation for the individual and for mankind is to receive the Saviour. It is not enough that He has already come to save us, as we celebrate at Christmas. Everyone who wants to be saved must receive Him into their lives by faith. Then it is true: “As many as received Him, to them He gave power to become children of God.” (Jn 1:12) And then one can also say: If God is for us, who can be against us? (Rom 8:31)
Reflection on Rom 6:17-18
Thanks be to God that, being converted, we were given the grace to receive the salvific teaching based on the faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We have been delivered by Him from enslavement caused by sin, and we have taken the new path of righteousness.
Chapter six speaks about sin many times. It says: “…though you used to be slaves (Gr. duloi) to sin…”. Today we can see clearly what it is like to be a slave to sin. Sin in the heart of man hates above all truth and true self-criticism, so its essence is pride. It means lack of self-criticism, unwillingness to admit the truth, unwillingness to learn from our own mistake and, on the contrary, an attempt to throw the blame on others or on God, or on so-called circumstances.
Sin includes murder, seeking help from the devil in witchcraft or other occult practices; sin also includes fraud, theft, abuse, rape, unclean thoughts, words or deeds, all kinds of perversion, divorce, hatred, war. What is the fruit of sin? Suffering, tears, loneliness, prison, death. People become slaves to drugs or alcohol, they become homeless or criminals. The reality of sin cannot be denied.
Word of Life – Rom 6:17-18 (16/12/2018 – 30/12/2018)
But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin,
you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
Metanoia – orthopraxy /Advent 2018/
8 December 2018
In these times of spiritual chaos, one needs to have a clear grasp of the means that lead to spiritual life – orthopraxy.
1) Celebration of Sunday
On the night from Saturday to Sunday, Christ rose from the dead. On Sunday, too, at about nine o’clock in the morning, the Holy Spirit was sent down on the Apostles and the Church was born. The early Christians were built on four spiritual pillars (Acts 2:42):
- prayers,
- apostles’ doctrine (an interpretation of God’s Word in the same Spirit as it was taught by the Apostles),
- fellowship (koinonia),
- the breaking of bread (the Eucharist).
Prayers for the celebration of Sunday (everybody prays at home)
Advent 2018, metanoia – orthodoxy
5 December 2018
Why is the present-day Church in such a deep crisis? Much of the blame for this falls on John XXIII’s aggiornamento and the postconciliar spirit.
What then should bishops, priests and religious do in Advent time, the time of repentance? They should separate from the spiritual poison of the aggiornamento and of the postconciliar spirit promoting heresies which destroy the essence of Christianity.
Currently, the renewal of baptismal vows concerns the following areas:
1) Contemporary heresies
In terms of faith, it is necessary to break with heresies which deny the most fundamental truths. It is necessary to create such conditions as to be able to identify heresies and to dissociate oneself from them. The truths of faith will thus shine brightly again. Furthermore, it is necessary to preach the full and living Word of God and to lead the believers to conversion and to the path of following Christ!
Advent 2018, the Church has no Pope!
3 December 2018
The Catholic Church has no Pope. It is in a state of Sede Vacante. In accordance with the Scripture and Church doctrine, a heretic must not be obeyed by anyone because he is excluded from the Church of Christ.
On 28 November 2018, the Vatican under pseudo Pope Bergoglio promulgated the following statement through the mass media: “We give our full support to the UN pact on migration (Global Compact).”
The Epiclesis /Part four: The Epiclesis – The Temple and Iconostasis/
26 November 2018
The biblical model of the Christian temple is the vision given by God (to Moses). It was applied to the Jerusalem Temple. The basic structure consists of the Holy of Holies, where God is present in a special way, the Holy Place, where the priests offered sacrifices to God, and the place for people.
The Eastern temple with an iconostasis, altar and tabernacle has preserved this biblical structure to this day. The Western Church had preserved it only until the Second Vatican Council which carried out an absurd reform. After the reform, the priest, who represents the people and offers sacrifice to God on the altar in their behalf, has turned his back to the centre of the temple, which is the tabernacle where God’s presence dwells constantly. Moreover, in many places the tabernacle has been removed from the centre of the temple. The reform has also removed the rail which separated the place for priests and for those who served at the altar.
The Epiclesis /Part three: The Epiclesis – How to experience the Epiclesis in the Liturgy/
25 November 2018
The Epiclesis is the invocation of the Holy Spirit both on us and on the gifts. It has three parts:
1) The priest kneels and implores God in a spirit: “Send down the Holy Spirit upon us” (Note: Throughout the Epiclesis, the chorus sings the antiphon: “We praise You…” or there is silence).
God promises through the prophet Ezekiel (37): “Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.” – We beseech in spirit: Lord, give us the Spirit of repentance, that we may live!
“I will put sinews on you” – Put sinews on us – the gift of prayer!
“I will bring flesh upon you” – Fill us with the power of Your commandments!
“I will cover you with protective skin” – Give us living communities!
“I will put Spirit in you, and you shall live” – Put the fullness of the Spirit in us, that we may live! Ye-ho-shu-aaa
