Today is truly fateful and important day in the life of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church Canonical and all humanity. 50 years ago, on that God's given day, the Holiest Moses Patriarch of the UAOC-C was born. He is devoted and loving God's son, great ascetic and messenger of Jesus Christ's doctrine, prominent Church man, true and sincere pastor of human souls. Such people come to this world at that time, when humanity needs help, when people reach a deadlock because of their doings.
In the person of His Holiness Patriarch Moses people were given a gift from God - the mission of the high soul to save the humanity, save every lost soul. All his missionary activity is directed to build up the Christ's Church bequethed by Our Savior.
With the blessing of God, His Holiness Patriarch Moses carries out the great missionary work, giving spiritual lectures. During the eight years his lectures in Kyiv were visited by more than 10 thousand people. These lectures have changed the lives of many people, turning a lot of people to God.
The words of Patriarch Moses told during his lectures, public speeches, interviews, sow the grains of the true God's knowledge in the human souls, becoming the guide in the earth pious life and giving the hope for the salvation to every soul returning them to the father's home - to Our Heavenly Father, to His Kingdom.
The activity of Patriarch Moses is aimed at the propaganda of such ideals as ecumenism, serving to Christ Church as the follower of Saint Apostles, serving to Christ Church as the Missionary and Preacher of the Holy Gospel. This missionary activity is recognized and honored by the world spiritual community and graced with numerous awards.
All his strength, knowledge and means His Holiness Patriarch Moses directs only at the development of the God's affair, development of the God's Church. The Cathedral of Transfiguration of the Lord, which has become the great decoration of the Ukrainian capital, was build at his own cost.
For, already 23 years of his earthly life the Holiest Patriarch Moses serves to God. Spiritual service of future Patriarch began in 1989 when he was the regent of the Episcopal professional choir of the cathedral of "Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary" in Khmelnitsk city in Ukraine. For his devotion, beneficence, sincere love to God and great pastor service God honored him with the greatest and most responsible church rank - patriarch dignity on 17-18 of June, 2005.
It is difficult for the good to push through and preach the true Divine word in the world, where evil dominates,. In 1990s with the God's help future Patriarch with the devotees began to revive truly Divine Church - the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, founding almost 200 parishes. Although evil forces then tore this Church into pieces, so that His Holiness was in exile for eight years, he remained faithful to the idea of revival of the true Ukrainian Orthodox Church. UAOC-C which he created and headed is the Divine Church - the Church of Christ, which is based on teachings of Jesus Christ.
But so as Jesus Christ was persecuted and belied, the same they do with His Church - persecute and belie it, inventing different slanders, fabricating cases, poisoning and crucifying the Divine Truth, pouring it with the dirt. But for God the Church and its Patriarch blessed by Him are clean, faithful and favorite Divine children. With His large Paternal love God has saved Patriarch from possible death. Although Patriarch is in temporal exile, he remains the faithful son of Ukrainian earth, sincere God's servant and continues his work for the development of the Divine afair.
Truly "a prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown". Therefore the people of Ukraine have not realized yet what a gift they received from God in the person of His Holiness Patriarch Moses. The servants of other confessions do not realize it; they do not understand him that is why they are simply afraid of him. They are afraid of the person, who gives love and teaches how to love, the person, who carries the veritable Divine knowledge, the person, who makes people see, who opens their eyes and helps to clear the souls and become happy. They are afraid of the person, who manifests himself the torch of the Divine Love and Truth, which burns for others, carrying them true light and comprehension of the Divine origin of each person.
May God bless, inspire, grant you, Your Holiness Vladyka Moses, long years and strength to continue Your great service on the Earth. May the Divine Mother guard you from misfortune. May the Divine Angels help you in Your selfless service and become the defence which surrounds all the light and all that is sent from God.
Many long and happy years in God to you, Your Holiness!
Many good years to Patriarch Moses!
