Cardinals, begin repentance from Yourselves!
17 November 2016
The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate (BCP), which at the present time is the voice of the one crying in the wilderness, hereby appeals to all Cardinals of the Catholic Church to start a true reform of the Church. The condition is that everyone must start from himself.
The Vatican has expelled the Holy Spirit and received the spirit of the world – the so-called aggiornamento of John XXIII. For this programme of secularization of the Church he was declared a saint. Vatican II declared the heresy of syncretism with paganism, i.e. a regard for pagan religions, de facto their demons too. John Paul II put it into practice in Assisi and for this next nail in the coffin he likewise was declared a saint. Within half a century, the heresies of neo-Modernism have poisoned almost all seminarians, priests and religious.
US Vice President calls for prayer and penance
17 November 2016
US Vice President Mike Pence emphasized to the US people after the elections: “I’d like to encourage You to do one more thing. And that is to bow the head and bend the knee in the days that remain in this election. Pray for our country. Then God will again do what He has always done throughout the storied history of this nation: He’ll heal our land.” (cf. 2Chr 7:14) (see https://youtu.be/6vVKWRK40Ts)
The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate fully supports this challenge of the US Vice President and also calls not only on the US people but also on all Christians to repent and pray in these days earnestly not only in USA but all over the world. These days, an extremely severe spiritual and psychological fight is taking place – a fight of the forces of light against the forces of darkness – which is now concentrated in America but has an impact on our entire planet.
Italy, rise for prayer and repent!!!
9 November 2016
Thus says the Lord your God, Jesus Christ:
“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock…” (Rev 3:19.20)
Dear Christians of the Italian nation!
God has given your country many saints: St Benedict, St Francis of Assisi, St Clare, St Francis of Paola, St Rita, St Catherine of Siena, the martyrs of the early centuries, and many others. Each of them played a key role and changed the history of your nation as well as of all Europe. What to say about the unwavering faith of St John of Capistrano whose sermons led residents of Italian cities to repentance. After his sermons, the believers burned in the squares the symbols of their sins and sybaritic life. Women threw away their ornaments and jewellery, men renounced the spirit of hatred and revenge. The cities notorious for bloody clashes and firing turned into gentle lambs. How many young men were excited by him to dedicate themselves to the service of God! Thanks to St John of Capistrano, Christians won the Battle of Belgrade over the Muslim troops rushing to Europe. Sad to say, today the Catholic hierarchy would label this zealous man as an intolerant fundamentalist, and most probably as a mentally ill person. And what of the great merits of Blessed Mark of Aviano who united Christians and they won the Battle of Vienna over the Muslim troops led by Kara Mustafa. Mustafa wanted to conquer Rome and the whole Christian world by the sword to make all submit to the Koran.
Reflection on Acts 4:11-12
“Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven
given among men by which we must be saved.”
Peter and John stood before the high priests, the elders and the scribes who had arrested them by reason of healing the lame man and preaching the Gospel. Peter delivered his first apologetic sermon before all.
How is it possible that those who were behind closed doors, filled with fear, a few days ago now stand firm and preach the risen Christ in public and without fear of threats or punishment? The Word of God says: “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses (martyres).” The Apostles received the fullness of the Holy Spirit. And then there was no more place for fear in their souls. On the contrary, it was the high priests and the scribes who were filled with fear when they saw the fearlessness of the Apostles and the power which Jesus had given them.
There is salvation in no one else! There is salvation in Jesus alone! There are no other ways or alternatives of salvation but Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we must be saved. These words are true and will be true forever.
Word of Life – Acts 4:11-12 (20/11/16 – 4/12/2016)
“Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders,
which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else,
for there is no other name under heaven given among men
by which we must be saved.”
Declaration of anathema on Patriarch Daniel of Romania
14 November 2016
Patriarch Daniel abused the authority of the supreme shepherd of the Romanian Church and approved the wolfish Council in Crete the main aim of which was and is gradual self-destruction of the Orthodox Church. He thus committed a betrayal of Christ and the Church. By approving the spirit of heresy, he himself brought down on him God’s anathema acc. Gal 1:8-9: “If anyone preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed – excommunicated!”
The Byzantine Universal (Catholic) Patriarchate, which at the present time is the prophetic voice of one crying in the wilderness, in the name of the Triune God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, hereby declares God’s anathema – curse – on Patriarch Daniel of Romania.
A prophetic call on the US people after the presidential election
13 November 2016
The outcome of the US election was a miracle of God!
What to do after the elections? Most of the mass media in the US are in the hands of Freemasons. Information and psychological warfare continues. Therefore we appeal to You, American people, to support Your new President in extending his program of the fight against the terrorism of the Islamic state, and to demand the following:
1) the prohibition of Masonic organization and all its offshoots, which are the root of international terrorism today concentrated in IS,
2) the abolition of homosexuality as a priority of US foreign policy declared by Obama.
How should Christians and their shepherds create conditions for the President’s revival program to be implemented?
1) Start continuous prayer guards (each citizen for one hour a day).
2) Shepherds should set aside one day a week for prayer and the Word of God (Acts 2:42).
Then God will save America and all the earth from disaster!
“Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy” (1Cor 14:1)
“Pursue love.” We should pursue love, true love. Not love which is, in essence, apostasy from Christ and a compromise with the spirit of the world. The word “love” is now very frequently used in the Church. However, this term now includes everything – fornication, betrayal, apostasy from Christ. Everything is “love”; only one thing is not allowed – defending Jesus Christ and loving Him with a pure heart. What is love – true love – “agape”? The manifestation of this love is that I want to be saved and I also want others to obtain salvation; and then whether I endure pain or suffering or carry a cross in union with Christ or I have to tell the truth which hurts, this all is love. Even when I have to hurt someone unto salvation, e.g. to point out his heresies. This all is love because I want this person to be saved.
Word of Life – Acts 2:41-42 (6/11/16 – 20/11/2016)
“Then those who gladly received his word were baptized;
and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship,
in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.”
Reflection on Acts 2:41-42
“Then those who gladly received his word were baptized;
and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly
in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.”
“Those who received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship (koinonia), in the breaking of bread (Eucharist), and in prayers.” That was the fruit of the descent of the Holy Spirit and of Peter’s sermon – the Church – living fellowship – was born and started to grow. On the seventh day, Sunday, when we commemorate the Resurrection of Christ and the Descent of the Holy Spirit, we try to find time for prayer, Divine Liturgy and fellowship. Here we can receive again the apostles’ doctrine through the Word of God and also receive encouragement through the examples of saints and martyrs as well as through personal testimonies of faith.
What to do so as not to go to Purgatory?
We have to be converted, to receive Jesus as our Saviour and Lord. We have to be renewed by the Holy Spirit and to walk in the Holy Spirit. But this is still not enough for escaping Purgatory. So what shall we do? The Word of God says: “He – Jesus – will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” (Mt 3:11) So this is a very important thing – baptism with fire. Jesus says: “I came to cast fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!” (Lk 12:49) Where shall this fire be kindled? In us. It shall purify us. It is a fire of zeal, of pure love for Jesus. A fire that shall burn all manifestations of our pride, self-love, envy, self-pity, criticism, rebellion, impurity, various dependences – on people, things or plans. This all must be burnt by this fire. Jesus will then truly be our Lord. Otherwise it is a mere phrase. We need this fire. This fire is also connected with martyrdom. “When the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you shall be My witnesses (martyres).” (Acts 1:8)
Let us do works worthy of eternity
Before you stand before the judgment seat of God, do your best so as not to stand there with empty hands. We will be judged not only for doing evil. We are obliged to do good – to do works worthy of eternity. We will be judged for what we were obliged to do and did not do. Every good word, every encouragement, every step of faith, every suffering which we accept and bear, every mockery and every persecution for the sake of Christ is of great worth. So let us live by faith. Certainly, we will not be justified through our good works only but we are justified through the righteousness of Christ. Indeed, our salvation is in Christ – this is the foundation of Christianity, but the question is what we build on this foundation: wood and straw or the works of gold done in union with Christ.

His “holiness” the Dalai Lama in Prague and Minister Herman (Open letter)
20 October 2016
On Monday 17 October, an uninvited guest – his “holiness” the Dalai Lama – arrived in Prague. The President and the Government had not invited him and refused to meet him. He was greeted only by the former spokesman of the Czech Bishops’ Conference (CBK), now a Minister, Daniel Herman. Herman said hypocritically: “I will receive him as a religious representative of one of the Churches.”
1) Herman is guilty of manipulation. Tibetan Buddhism is no Church; moreover, other Buddhists consider it a sect.
2) Herman abused his office in the government against the interests and the good of the Czech Republic. The Dalai Lama’s visit had a harmful ideological background. President Zeman in this situation represents and defends the interests of the Czech Republic. Herman, on the other hand, ideologically defends anti-patriotic interests of someone whose aim is to cause moral and economic harm to the Czech nation. Even in the media he does not try at least to give the impression that he regards national interests, but he reveals that he pursues his own interests and the interests of his uncle in Canada. In addition, he is trying to compromise the President in a cunning way. Probably he wants to divert attention from the reality that he no longer holds office in the government.
