It is difficult for someone who thinks in quantitative, not qualitative categories, to understand the catastrophe in the church, to feel, at least with the mind, the scale of this terrible trouble. He points to millions of faithful (or supporters), and the fact that (almost) all of them are godless – this does not bother anyone (no matter how many zeros you add – even billions – the result will be zero, or rather – terrible minuses!!!). But to whom will you tell this – to the stewards (who seized power – became lords. And who wants to renounce power – the slave, the servant called himself a lord, a teacher, a father)?!
What humility should actually be in the stewards (bishops, presbyters) under the burden of duties, historically (due to misunderstanding) placed on them (to teach, spiritually guide-instruct and other services that only a Spirit-bearer can perform – appointed by God (anointed by the Holy Spirit), and not by people (or only people in the case of priests), and a hierarch is just a steward (who at best has heard by ear that there is the Holy Spirit, others told him about Him, and those who heard from others! What poverty, what delusion, what substitution, what catastrophe?! And the fruits are evident!). However, there is a way out! It is necessary to create conditions (this depends on wise stewards – this is their competence, the essence of their service as bishops-hierarchs) for the revelation of Spirit-bearers – to lay queen cells in the combs, otherwise there will be only drones (nominal ‘Christians’) – grains of selfish-pagans in a heap of sand. To lay queen cells – means to create living Eucharistic parishes in the context of total proclamation, starting from the patriarch and ending with the catechumens preparing for water baptism, to enter the Body of Christ, into the Eucharist, into the Church! There is no other way!
Therefore, let us pray for the good state of God’s holy churches, each with a prayer they are capable of. First of all – with repentance and the labors of repentance, each in their place of service in the Body of the Church. Bishops, presbyters (stewards-bishops) must become stewards (and not teachers, prophets, apostolic men-successors), the faithful must take responsibility for their salvation (learning the hypostatic Eucharistic life in Love), and not shift it to the priests (stewards), who have no relation to teaching (unless the priest is simultaneously a Spirit-bearer, although today this is a great rarity – one in millions, so rare that if we mathematically say that they do not exist, we will not be mistaken). To bear the fruits of repentance – this is true ascetic prayer, it is with this (active) prayer that the Church calls all the faithful to pray, first of all for their community (so that it becomes from a parish, a heap into the Eucharistic Body of Christ, a Parish, the members of which are paired with each other (all with everyone) by marital bonds in the Holy Spirit)! This thought-indication-call should be constantly remembered when reading these pages, which describe the catastrophic state of the churches! We not only report the trouble but give guidance – how to treat this catastrophe, how to fight this evil, reduce it! And yet not us, but the Holy Spirit testifies about this in all churches, but unfortunately, no one accepts His testimony!
