“I tried to keep only the most important points in this simple translation, but for those that speak Greek, the entire recording should be listened to!

The days we are living are days of opportunity. When greater events unfold, we will need to realize that only silence and prayer are acceptable; all the homilies will cease.
I feel that these days are very near. We will have to evaluate ourselves and consider why God is allowing these very, very, very difficult events to take place, that will affect us physically and spiritually.

Those things that we consider to be trials may actually be our greatest opportunity for forgiveness of sins and attainment of holiness.
We shouldn’t think like the Roman Catholics do, that the COVID is a punishment from God, same as with the earthquake and hunger that are coming.

It is amazing that God loves this generation so much, especially since we have forgotten Him.
We are living in an idolatry relying with extreme confidence in technology, medicine and vaccines, and masks which are simply muzzles. A mask covers the eyes, a muzzle covers the mouth…so you see what a clever use of words are being deployed, behind which hides “Alexeis” not “Tsipras” because he’s gone, but another one who when he will reveal his face, our Panagia with Christ will make him disappear forever.

Our children are the real victims and this will be seen clearly when the second “coronavirus” ends and hunger begins. That is when the children will ask us why we used everything up and didn’t leave anything for them.

And you know why God allows all these things to take place? Because we denied His mother the Panagia during these difficult days. We “use” her when we get a little sick, or we have a family problem.

Recently, it was revealed to a man of God by Panagia that in fact many prayers were raised during the pandemic; unfortunately the majority of those prayers were requests for health so that ultimately we could preserve our physical life for maybe 10-20 more years. There were very few prayers for eternal life or in order to better get to know Panagia and her son who gives us His body and blood at each Divine Liturgy. In fact, how many more were concerned about whether they will get sick through receiving Holy Communion?
You understand how much we hurt Panagia, even we the clergy, when we all say different things and the people, when you come to Liturgy and are more concerned about whether you will get sick by how Holy Communion is distributed … we see practices emerge such as using multiple spoons and cloths and only God knows what else.
All this is being waged during major feasts if you notice, first at Easter, now on the feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos, and mark my words, next will be Christmas, so we need to be ready.

There are incredible events coming that we cannot explain or understand, so we all need to increase our prayers. You want to help your family, yourselves?
The embarrassment of wearing a mask will not help you.
Only to be joined with the body and blood of Him who conquered death. Try to receive Communion frequently, that is the only medicine and that is the only vaccine.
All the rest is intended to create problems between Russia and the USA, China and Germany. Don’t be fooled.
Every 100 years there are pandemics, this isn’t the first. Does God allow it? Yes He allows it because of our sins.

True repentance is missing. True liturgical life is missing.
Try to find some time at night when it is quiet, for prayer, be it 30 minutes or an hour. Do it for yourselves, for your family, for your country and for the entire world.
Pray for God’s mercy for the entire world. Open your heart and speak with Jesus the way that you would speak to your close friend. If you are embarrassed to speak with Jesus because you are not accustomed to doing so, then speak with Panagia. She is our mother. When we go to the other life we will understand, but only if it’s not too late - how much love our Mother has for us and how we lost the opportunity to know her.

Just as each day we have time for food for our body, we need to have time for spiritual food.
The souls of most of us are malnourished.

Forget about the phones and internet and SMS and TV’s etc. Through word of mouth find a few good websites and focus on only those.
Spend more time on your soul. When a person first learns to pray he is sweetened and wants to increase more and more. Only then do they understand how hungry their soul is for God, because the soul is made by God, and belongs to Him.

Increase your prayers not just for your kids but for all the children in the world.
First pray for every other child and then for your own.
When we have prayer that is humble in this way, where we place our own needs last, it is not possible that Jesus and Panagia will not respond.

For so many years we did not understand that everything that takes place is because God wants to give us His mercy, to save us; since we didn’t understand this, He must perform surgery and the surgery began in March.

Don’t be fooled by the news reports about the actions of Turkey etc., those are not the major news events.
The major news stories are those about the illnesses.
The earthquakes and the hunger that is coming.
The shortage of goods and fuel.
Those are the big events that are coming.
And this does not apply only to Cyprus or Greece, the entire world will experience these. God is very just.
Whoever gives, God will give to Him, whoever has mercy, God will have mercy on him, in a miraculous manner.
We will live for the glory. Those that live. And those that don’t live will have paradise. That is the value of everything.

What’s the point of living another 10-20 years without taking action to save our souls? What counts is what happens after. Will you see God? Panagia?
What will you say you did with all that time that you had on earth.
They will ask you to open your “passport” and show what you accomplished with all the years you had. Did you have Repentance? Mercy? Forgiveness?

That’s why I urge you aside from increasing your prayers, to look to repentance and the mystery of confession.
And only when you participate in confession regularly should you receive frequent Holy Communion.
If you don’t participate in the mystery of confession, you should not receive Holy Communion at all.

This is not to say that if you participate in confession regularly that you can receive Holy Communion regularly. This is guidance that you must receive from your spiritual father.
This applies to priests and Bishops and everyone. We sin daily and we must repent daily.
Just as you eat daily and clean yourself daily.
This is how God arranged everything, so that the body and the soul both have their needs and priorities met.

Take care of your soul as you care for your body. When you sin, clean yourself with the mysteries of repentance, prayer and Holy Communion.
This will provide better communication with ourselves, our environment and all others.”

May our Panagia enlighten us, for all the things that are to come.
