Letters from Br. Błażej: Night 314

January 4, 2023

Thank God, in our area of central Ukraine and Kyiv, the night passed peacefully. Zaporizhzhya region, Kherson fired by drones. Apparently, on January 6 and 7 there is to be a massive attack by Russian terrorists.
God, grant us peace.
Thank God and good hardworking people we have more electricity.
10:40 am: all of Ukraine in red (air raid alert).

The Word… We are waiting for the manifestation of the Newborn Jesus, in the Liturgy “Epiphany of the Lord”: “Many times did God once speak to the fathers through the prophets, and in these last days He has spoken to us through the Son.”
To the apostles, Andrew and Peter, Jesus was revealed, they met Jesus, their lives changed. So it will be with the three kings, “they returned by another way.”
My encounter? Change of life? A different way?
“You are Simon, son of John; you shall be called Kephas.”—that is, Peter.
Change…

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