Metropolitan Onuphry: We must always be with Christ, even in days of tribulation and persecution
We
must be with Christ, not only when people are shouting “Hosanna!”, when
we are praised, when they applaud us for it, but also when they cry,
“Crucify.” Being with Christ when Christ is under attack is the greatest
gift man can offer to God. May the Lord help us, dear brothers and
sisters, to ever be with Christ—both in days of blessedness, and in days
of tribulation and persecution, because Christ is unchanging, the
unchanging Truth. And whoever is with Him always prevails.
Pray
for the canonical Orthodox Church, for persecuted Metropolitans,
Bishops, Abbots and all clergy and Orthodox Christians in Ukraine.
