“{…} The time has come when everything will be humbled… they will be humbled so they can be crucified, to be resurrected and glorified again in Orthodox manner in all the earth. Since we don’t have an “ethnic or national” God, but the Trinitarian God, the God of the entire world, Who wants the apostolic faith of the Orthodox to try the faith or lack thereof of all of us–leaders and populace-in our days. Because Christ needs His own people now, to create “the new crew of His ship”, as St Porphyrios the Kafsokalybite used to say. What is the ship of Christ? It’s the Orthodox Church. That is the ship of Christ. And Christ has decided to clear the crew of His ship, which is not only you simple Christians, but the priests, the bishops, the patriarchs, and the civil authorities. Now we will all take exams. Let us, with the Holy Spirit –the Spirit of Truth– struggle to cleanse ourselves through repentance, to pass from the unnatural to the natural, and to reach the supernatural, which our Orthodox Church wants to give us–and not only to us but to every well-intentioned person, European or not.
