Letters from Br. Błażej: Night 271

November 22, 2022

Thank God, we’ve seen less air raids from the Russian occupiers. A new day, a new gift from God. In the morning in Kyiv, SBU, the security service, entered the Pechersk Lavra (the most famous Orthodox monastery, Moscow Patriarchate). (photo) They are looking for weapons and…

God, grant us peace!

With best wishes to all our organists on the occasion of St. Cecilia!!!

The Word… Preparation for Advent and not only that. “There will rise up nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be strong earthquakes, and in places famine and pestilence; terrible phenomena and great signs in the sky will appear.” We in Ukraine have not only preparation for Advent. War. “Be ready, for at a moment you do not expect the Son of Man will come.” “Be ready” does not mean to be afraid and fearful. Be ready… God is love!

We live in war, we do not live by war.

Another endless, yet necessary shutdown of electricity, which is having a very negative impact on the country’s economy. Another face of the war. Kyiv’s electricity is getting worse and worse.
