“The whole of Russia is inundated with blood, and the same fate awaits America!…And I sit away the precious time, the immense opportunities, and the freedom given to me by God and, seeing all this, I do not even shed tears!”

-Fr. Seraphim and Fr. Herman, The Orthodox Word, Nov-Dec 1973, #53

Archbishop Averky of Jordanville on worldly peace and the destruction such proponents of "peace" bring to the world:

All of these frequent, unnaturally flowery speeches, and until now, hysterical cries about peace for the world are for the most part from people who are either far from true Christianity or openly hostile towards the Church. These speeches come from people who themselves do not live in peace with God and their consciences. Their relations with their neighbors are filled with malice. Can we believe the sincerity of the words pronounced by people who reject faith in God and love for their neighbor, and do not recognize the voice of conscience? Can we believe that those who audaciously and arrogantly blaspheme, declaring war on God Himself and His Holy Church, are truly striving for peace? These are the same people who not long ago did not conceal the fact that their plan was "to kindle a worldwide fire" [Communism], and who openly preached "class hatred" as the basis for their ideology. They are not at all troubled over shedding rivers of blood and exterminating millions of people simply on the suspicion that they may not be in agreement with their ideology. Can we truly believe the sincerity of peace lovers who speak sweetly of "Christian love" and "universal forgiveness," yet at the same time sow conflict and dissension, spreading lies and slander which incite enmity and division, setting people against one another.

According to local and more national news agencies in the United States, the largest gathering ever of Satanists has been taking place in Boston, Massachusetts. This is not met with an outcry however as many Catholics and Christians took to the streets to protest and pray against it. There was also a presence from the Patriot Front. These kind of conventions should never be taking place and is yet another sign of America's downfall.

Blessed Sunday of the paralytic! Yesterday was the coronation of the king of England. In it was a hymm chanted by a byzantine choir at the kings requests for the memory of his father, Philip who was Greek Orthodox until he converted. He was also anointed with holy oil blessed by the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. The latter is definitely problematic.

The true rainbow, created by God, has seven colors, while the official LGBТХYZQLNMOP “rainbow” uses only 6. For us, seven represents completion and perfection, while six represents falling short, imitation and....Satan. The ghey flag/rainbow doesn’t have indigo, which is the color of royalty and of wisdom. These things aren’t coincidental. God Creates, Satan imitates and mocks.

Do not be afraid to confess the fleshly sins. Do you think that you are so holy? God allows you to fall in order to humble you. Get up and walk in fear and trembling. Struggle against them, but do not despair, no matter what happens. Strength in Orthodox firmness comes very gradually; what you do every day helps build it up; and if you fall, humility and self-awareness build it up.

-Fr. Seraphim Rose

🇧🇾☦️ In Belarus, they are ready to accommodate monks who are required to leave the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.

Representatives of the Belarusian Orthodox Church have stated that in the event of a forced eviction from the Lavra, the monks can "find a place for further monastic endeavors within the confines of the Belarusian Orthodox Church's monastic establishments."

The police continue to gradually launch raiders on the territory near the Savior and Transfiguration Cathedral.
Parishioners of the temple sing prayers and stand in defense of their shrine.

On the perimeter of the entire territory there are activists of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, who ensure that none of the believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church can enter the cathedral.

The Ministry of Culture, with the strong support of the police, began a “special operation” in the Lavra to seize buildings in the early morning of July 6, 2023, one of the parishioners said.

“Without any document, they broke into the territory of the Lavra. At 6 in the morning they (the police - Ed.) stood with machine guns at the entrance near the church of St. Agapit of Pechersk, so that even believers could not get to us, ”said a parishioner of the Lavra, who has been here since yesterday.

Novinsky stated that the issue of establishing control over the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra had already been considered by the Synod of the Church of Constantinople.
