The ministers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church do not intend to leave the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, they simply have nowhere to go, Metropolitan Pavel of Vyshgorod, deputy head of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, said on March 23 in a video message posted on Lavra. Youtube channel.
At the same time, he noted that Orthodox priests “They will not be like the unfortunate politicians”All you have to do is pray.
“They gave us two weeks to move out of the monastery. We are not going to be able to do this under any pretext, because for 35 years the brothers have done everything possible to improve the life of the monastery and the pilgrims, and we simply do not have a place to take everything out, and we have no intention of leaving anything.Said Metropolitan Pavel.
He also remembered the words of the prophet Daniel, saying that if the monks had to leave the monastery by force, then the abomination of desolation would reign in it.
“It seems to me that the phenomenon of the Apocalypse began precisely with the kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, although Jerusalem had already experienced it once”pointed out the gentleman.
Metropolitan Pavel also emphasized that what is happening today in Ukraine with Orthodoxy, “Worse than what happened in 1917, in 1937 and in the 1960s. This indicates that a person has no rights, only violence.”
He urged those who accuse the ministers of handing over the monastery without a fight to come to the Lavra to see with their own eyes what is happening and to pray together for the salvation of the holy monastery.
Recall that earlier, the general director of the national reserve “Kiev-Pechersk Lavra”, Alexander Rudnik, demanded that the monks of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra leave the monastery until March 29, 2023. On March 10, a warning was published with his signature on the website of the monastery.
