Enemies of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church never talk about Metropolitan Onuphry or the other holy bishops. Met Onuphry is a native Ukrainian. He is beloved by his people. He is a champion for God, Orthodoxy, and Ukraine. They want him memory holed. orthodoxreflections.com/end-…

What low information people like @RepJoeWilson and @pastormarkburns are unaware of, is the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church began 3 years prior to Russia invading Ukraine, and this began and has continued with the support of the US State Department. The plan was cooked up by Hilary Clinton, and implemented by Mike Pompeo. The war has just been a pretext for intensifying and accelerating what they already intended to do. fatherjohn.blogspot.com/2018…

I cannot say this enough: Pray. Pray every day, as often as you can.

"Do not let pass any opportunity to pray for anyone..the Lord looks favourably upon the prayer of our love: prayer for others is very beneficial to the one who prays; it purifies the heart, strengthens faith & hope in God & enkindles our love for God." ~ St John of Kronstadt
