ADDRESS OF PATRIARCH MOSES TO THE FAITHFUL
ON THE FEAST
OF THE PROTECTING VEIL OF THE MOTHER OF GOD EVE


     Glory to Jesus Christ!

     Dear and faithful to God... I cannot be with you; it is likely to be the will of God.

     But I want to congratulate you on the coming Feast of the Protecting Veil of the Mother of God.

     Actually, on these days begins the feast that was founded because the evil forces rose against those who loved God. And the God's people, escaping from the enemies shut the church and began praying to God to protect them. That happened in Greece, when the Saracens had attacked the faithful. They had destroyed the town and were already fighting before the church to enter it. Meanwhile people stood and prayed sincerely to Mother of God and invoked to God with all their hearts. And it was then when Andrew, the God's Fool, saw the Mother of God enter the temple and pray at the altar to God, to her Son, Jesus and having taken off her veil extended it over the people of Greece. At that moment, as the historical facts testify, the Saracens were frightened tremendously by something, turned and began to run away and the defenders of the Homeland shattered them.

      Say, you are too young for Christianity; you have heard a lot of theory and perceived it by your hearts thus felt the filling by the Holy Spirit. And continue doing that in order not to infect the heart with poison through slander as when you are listening to any slander on your Patriarch this poison goes to the heart and it's almost impossible to cure such person. If the person is demonic, it doesn't matter for his/her, such a person is in euphoria and is happy that someone feels bad, the eyes of such a person glitter wildly. If the person is divine and also listens to evil fantasies, his/her look becomes dim, such a person becomes unhappy and falls ill as the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Life leaves this person.

      Indeed, many are called, but few chosen. And the chosen are those who nevertheless stay in the community and do not go away. Christ warned: "If they persecuted, slandered and chased Me, they should persecute, slander and chase you". As the world likes and accepts its sinful and persecutes that is God`s and pure. None of you have already passed the way of slander and persecutions in the name of God. None. Thus, devil sifts you in order to only the deserved come to God. And this work for your spiritual growth will continue till you live on Earth.

     Since 1990s I have revived Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. Then I was slandered almost from my first steps. They made up anything they could to. Generally they said that I was bandera(Ukrainian nationalist), uniate and anticephalist, as then it was out of date to be a patriot, then it was a shame. Today, when it is nothing to say as it is profitable to be a patriot, they make up new lies, buy false witnesses and corrupted policemen. Some time, people of Philaret ascribed us to White Brotherhood and his adherent Porovskyi was spreading rumours about me: "Moses pierces little children with spears and fries them on fire". But anyway that haven't stuck to. Now, relying upon the jealousy of husbands, they have been developing the theory about adultery of Patriarch with women already for 2 years. As Philaret said once: "Throw dirt, something will stick and the bigger dirt is, the faster people will believe."

     They have been waylaying me for a long time, since 2002, as can't stand me because of my sincere service to God. They often send out their co-workers but we have figured them out with the help of prayer and let them go in peace. These ones, the family of Gulevatyi wasn't figured out. He is the colonel of the Interior Ministry; she is the major of the Internal Ministry, daughter studies at special school at bugging. As well as penetrated the others like Sukhorosova whose son also works in the authorities. Now they succeed in carrying out the work, pleasing only to devil by juggling with facts for money.

     Anatoliy Gulevatyi, who called me and threatened, said exactly that he was working for the devil. I have this audio track, if I switch it for you now, it's clear that you will sicken. But you have to understand that he who follows God is not only to hear any slander but to suffer it also. They cause this stir and raise this dust of defamations to throw it in eyes of people for them not to see what happens really. And meanwhile this stir was going on, they tried to demolish me physically still on Monday, October, 10, 2009 at 22:30.

     In the evening, I came after service, in a certain period of time I heard that something was going on around the house. When I had opened the door to diocese I heard that a group of people was doing something in the neighbour's territory. Then one of them said: 'Make a drug addict of him". I thought: "Some people want to inject drugs in someone; I will drive then away, say, will shout on them and call the police." But then I realized that the voice belonged to Anatoliy Gulevatyi and that people searched for my place of living to throw a drug to me or what's worse to do something with me. So then I shut the door quickly and started to call the police that went more than an hour though the distance to me is just 2,5km. It's good that the priests arrived in time. Meanwhile, the attackers had realized that it wasn't my territory, went out of there and started prowling around the diocese.

     Anatoliy Gulevatyi, Yuriy Vasylenko with gun and more unfamiliar men tried to penetrate into the house of the diocese, scratched the door and kicked the fence of my place of living. They shot and threatened the clergy that appeared unexpectedly for the attackers near the diocese to protect Patriarch as the police did 2 km in more than an hour. When they got on the scene of crime, they did nothing and having received some money from Gulevatyi went back as if nothing had happened.

     Now we have to be very careful as the church located on my territory is bequeathed and assigned to you since 2007, to the faithful of our church for you to preserve it. And with it, watch and check under the fence for someone not to throw some drug to you. The parishioners who are with that people are anathematized according to the church canons. The alienated from our church prove to be around 30 weak-willed people. Sickly curiosity led to the disease of their souls, they scared and lost their faith in all the good they had felt in their hearts.

     How much I was preaching on this topic, that you would be persecuted and that such lies would arise against me that few would hold out. And now such time has been blessed. Time, when the evil forces are always allowed to arrange demonstrations, mutinies, fight against the good. Exactly in this time happened both October Revolution and the Saracens attacks at God's people, whom the Mother of God protected through the sincere prayer. And you haven't suffered such attacks and our temple hasn't been attacked. The church is your property and no one has the right to enter there and destroy anything. You should take photo of them, call security services at once and open the criminal case on each of them.

      They are sly and they have a lot of money, distillery- they can bribe. But nevertheless, truth will win like it always was; I was always struggling and God won. If I couldn't be with us for some period of time it would be even better as from there I would control the situation through the international organizations. And it's about high time for our church to arisen and not through the advertising as we don't have money, it was said in what way - through the persecutions.

      Lord has given much to you and you haven't appreciated what God had given and now God took away. Now it's the time for suffering for God to bless me the time I will be with you again.

      Who will hold out now, even if 12 men remain, you will be like apostles and the myrrh-bearers who will illuminate such light and God's grace you can't even imagine. Yes, you may lose your faith in this and walk away at all from the grace you are bathing in today. But it's better to follow God and believe in Him no matter how difficult it may be, God will always lead out as the cross though is heavy but also is sweet. Yet haven't lied against you in the name of God, thus you haven't been honoured with such persecution.

     Lord invites you to the Kingdom of God. Build everything, that you are building. You see, how Lord is acting, how God is working and spare no effort for that. That of God is given to you for everything to blossom. Now you are in the unique situation as you don't understand where the truth is. But listen with your heart and let God to speak in it. In this way Jesus taught Judah. Judah said to Jesus: "Think, Jesus, you can be a king, you will be chosen by any party to be a king, think with your head." And God says to him: "you should feel the truth not with intellect, but with heart".

      Try to avoid communication with those who are desecrated, as within the 10th and 11th apostolic rules, you become desecrated at once and walk away from salvation. Those who have the virus against God infect the others. How the apostles teach in the Holy Scripture: "To those who walked away from us - anathema, to that- marathana", they are no longer ours - they are alien to us.

      Children of devil will always think up something disgusting, out of all reason. As Philaret said: "Throw dirt, something will stick." It's clear, that now they're celebrating the victory, but I know that everything is up to our victory, the great victory of Lord. Some time will pass and we will say: "God, if it had not happened, and we hadn't endured, the victory that we see with our own eyes wouldn't have occurred.? We have to endure these trials otherwise God won't accept us. Devil says: "they are not Yours; they are with You as they receive only pleasure and grace from You. And when I will sift them through the sieve then we'll see who are Yours and who are not, who are the conformists and who are really Your loving, serving and faithful children who have everything from You."

      We should hold together. I will also always be with you; you will feel my presence and help, no matter where I am, as the Church of God needs to be raised. I won't manage to do everything on my own, you have to endure that, go to important organizations and institutions, tell about the awful discrimination of church and violation of our constitutional rights. The persecution has started against the Patriarch himself. For that sake, the public television, police and Service of Defense of Ukraine are bought and set in motion. If we hold out, we will save ourselves. In the first centuries of the Christianity, according to apostle Philip, the names of Jesus and Mary were like the anathema for Jews. The apostle writes that those who nevertheless admitted Jesus to be the Son of God were saved, as only the God's could admit, the demonic ones mocked. It was and will be like this till the humankind is living on earth.

      The same happened with Muslims, they also killed their spiritual leader Muhammad and his family and now praised. Do you understand? If Lord wants to protect me now as yet, He will protect, if no - He will not. But let stay in your hearts everything good that was as I loved and love every, who loves God. I have served and will serve to Him in Ukraine or wherever the soul will live. It's clear that some people have thought up and will think up something against me over and over again. And it won't stop ever, till the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Truth will be built in Ukraine. God has showed me Ukraine being very corrupted. This Ukraine demolishes God's Church in Uzhgorod and here by all means, all the time and how it is just possibly.

      I believe that the time will come when Ukraine will be satiated. Don?t be surprised that economics will start to decline more and more, though the harvest is good. Don't be surprised at the difficult times that come to Ukraine. As in this country the God's Church is persecuted.

      Let the God?s Grace descend upon you.

      Now will be the Liturgy, pray for us. Don't be afraid of anything, as if you love God, who is against you? In the struggle for the God' s cause you will feel how really the demonic ones are afraid of you, not you of them and that nothing can overcome you. Exactly that will begin your formation for the future great work in the name of God. For you to gain that majestic powerful mighty energy from God to be the warriors of God, he would like to see on Earth. If you have honored such fate, that your heart heard the truth of God following the way of life you would be honored with the great reward.

      In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

     Oh Lord, bless Your people, give the hand full of strength and grace and bless soul, body, mind and feelings of all people praying here.

     Holy God, Holy Mighty one, Holy Immortal one, have mercy on us.

      Glory to Jesus Christ!
