1. QUESTION Father, much has been written about the engraving and chip that people will be forced to put on their bodies in the time of the Antichrist. What would you tell us about this issue, which concerns us all? The human body is one of the most magnificent wonders of God's Creation. I can say that it is unique in all of God's creation. So God wanted to be our body , in which he would place our immortal soul , His Temple , to be worshiped there by all of us, His children, as a king God the Father . The Holy Bible says that we are " the temple of the living God ". Satan cannot win a man's soul unless he first wins his body. That is why he tries in a thousand ways to contaminate our body, so that it ceases to be " God's temple " and can thus dominate it . Until now, Satan has been trying to dominate man by using his human weaknesses. Thus he made man susceptible to many and various great sins such as immorality , drugs , murder , witchcraft , and many others. However, every time that man repented of his mistakes and God forgave him, the binds and his plans. So Satan was looking for another way to control completely the mind of man, and to be able to better direct , control and dominate man's thoughts , desires and feelings . found the way . With the artificial intelligence of computers and a series of specific specialized vaccines, it will interfere with the chain of the human genetic code , the DNA, and change it . Thus, the now mutated human DNA instead of acting under Divine Intelligence , as God created it, will now act under the orders of artificial intelligence , which will be directed by the satanic staff of the Antichrist! In fact, in order to better control each person individually, some elements of the code in the mutated human DNA will form the necessary basis to create an identity, an exclusive identity, with a personal number , which will be unique for each person. This personal number on the DNA of each person will now be indelible , permanent and irrevocable. This number of man, with the number 666 preceding it, will indicate to whom this man belongs and with it he will be registered in the central supercomputer of the Antichrist, the famous " Beast ", with which all the rest of his computers will be connected satanic antichrist state. In order for all computers to easily read this human number, a shortcut icon will be created on the surface of the human body, on the forehead and on the hand . Every human activity , such as saving , buying , selling , and in general every action , will be completely controlled and dependent on his specific personal number . It will be his official ID . Without that number, that person simply wouldn't exist . plan in the first phase is to turn the human body into a mobile transceiver , just like a mobile phone is , so that he can easily dominate it. 2. QUESTION How will man be transformed into a mobile transceiver, "a mobile phone"? To build a house one needs two things. The materials that will be needed for the construction and the appropriate technicians that will work to build and perfect it. As for the materials needed to build the new human mutant DNA, Satan made sure to slowly and cunningly collect them gradually in the human body. He transferred them to our body through what we eat , drink and breathe , which he had previously contaminated with various invisible to the eye materials , of high nanotechnology . Then, a series of 7 specially specialized vaccines will play the role of 7 specialized technicians who will undertake to make the new mutated human DNA, with the materials that have already entered the human body. The purpose of the 7 vaccines will be to weaken and in the end cancel the possibility of man to become, through the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit, the " temple of God ". The most important of the seven vaccines will be the seventh . The seventh vaccine will be the crown of nanotechnology , since it will be introduced , without any reversal , into the final mutated human DNA, the element that will incorporate the necessary code on which the number - seal of each person will be written. I must repeat that restoring human DNA to its original state will now be impossible, therefore those who take the satanic " sealing " will be captive for life to the most destructive decision for their existence. This number will not be something visible that can be removed from the human body but something invisible since it will be one with the DNA of the person , that is, his very life . This number will then be connected to a supercomputer, the famous " Beast ", which will be operated by the Antichrist himself and his people, who will also exercise absolute power. With the help of artificial intelligence , which will have developed to such a strong point that it is now deified by people, the Antichrist and his demonic staff will be able to control , dominate and direct thoughts , decisions , desires and the feelings of each person. Every form of different thought or reaction will be made known through the technical intelligence of the " Beast " and the demonic staffs of the Antichrist, will decide the death or, at best, the erasure of the existence of the particular human transceiver . 3. QUESTION Who are they who will help satan carry out his plan to destroy man? Lucifer in recent years has managed to place many satanic people devoted to him in key positions of the world's threefold power , i.e. politics , science and religion . Thus Lucifer will be able to rule: 1. Politics, through the bankers who control the money and determine the political decisions. 2. Science, through satanic scientists who make weapons, infectious viruses and other satanic constructs capable of destroying man and God's Creation. 3.Religion , through religious leaders subordinate to him, which he slowly took care to raise to leadership positions in the church. His religious leaders are willing to obey , implement and promote easily and without resistance , his antichrist plans and laws. In fact, they are the only ones who can easily, under the pretext of the virtue of " obedience ", seduce the multitude of the people, as their leaders and " shepherds ". One of the most important actions of Lucifer will be to convince all these religious leaders to unite, for the sake of so-called universal love and peace , in a universal religious unity, the " World Church ". Thus, in order for the Antichrist to be believed and accepted in the Christian world, he will use, as the Apocalypse of John says, as his partner the False Prophet , the satanic man who will lead the Universal Church at that time . He, as the leader of the Church, will try to convince all Christians to receive the final sealing of the supposedly real "Christ", i.e. the Antichrist . 4. QUESTION Has this all started? Yes , but they are still in the early stages. We are now in the experimental phase of vaccines. Before the appearance of those seven special and specialized vaccines, which will build the new mutant DNA of humans, a series of experimental vaccines will first be tested on millions of people with uncontrolled and dangerous side effects. Some of these, because they will interfere with the chain of the genetic code of human DNA, will cause the natural self-defense of DNA, resulting in new powerful diseases. These will be, for a long time, incurable . Doctors will not be able to easily find a cure for these diseases, resulting in millions of people dying. Before the final stamping, which will be done on the human DNA itself , there will first be a global effort to give all people a personal number . This number will not be the actual " engraving ", but a protector of it, in order to acquaint man with the final " engraving-seal ". a document at first , on cards and other legal papers, and then, to make it more functional in government services, so that it can be easily found and read by the computers of the technical services, it will become digital . So, all governments will give all their citizens a personal number , with which they will be able to carry out all their necessary activities , which will concern either their relationship with the state , such as identity cards, taxation and others, or their survival , such as buying and selling. Then, with the help of artificial intelligence , all the numbers of these people will be connected to a central global supercomputer , the " Beast ". Thus, within the "Beast" all the people of the world will be registered and recorded , with all their personal information . As a pretext, for this great world argument, they will tell the whole world that it is the only way to better ensure world peace and the suppression of all illegal and terrorist acts. However, their ultimate secret goal and purpose is to know and precisely control all the people who will have to pass to the next and final stage of the final " sealing ", with which the Antichrist will now know all subjects of. 5. QUESTION How can we Christians react to all this? Is there an antidote that can neutralize the power of these satanic constructs? The days we live in are very wicked indeed. Tests to make the new mutant human DNA have begun . Artificial intelligence is advancing at full speed and humans are unaware or want to be unaware and indifferent to what is happening. Lucifer managed to convince people that he cares about their health, so that they would easily accept his experiments. Whether we will make ourselves the Temple of God or the temple of Satan is our choice . It is up to us whether we will remain united with God the Father, as His children, or whether we will run away from Him and join the camp of Lucifer. We are free to choose but also to shoulder the consequences of our decisions . Those of us who choose to remain faithful to Christ and His holy Church must be ready to take up the cross of confession , even martyrdom . Our era will highlight the greatest saints of the Church. Regarding all those high nanotechnology materials that are sneakily and unknowingly introduced into our bodies, like satanic poison , with what we eat , drink and breathe to contaminate us, I should emphasize that there is an antidote . As every poison has its antidote , so our holy Church has the appropriate antidotes for them . The problem, however, with the antidotes available to our Church is that they presuppose two basic spiritual elements on the part of people, so that their " power " can be activated . They presuppose " faith " and " trust " in God, something, however, that you no longer easily find among Christians. The main antidote proposed by our holy Church is Holy Communion , that is, Christ himself. The energy of these dangerous high nanotechnology materials is neutralized with the Holy Communion , which will not only act therapeutically but also deterrently , since it will not allow artificial intelligence to intervene in the chain of human DNA, to " engrave " and make the mutation of those initial elements which the divine intelligence with infinite " Wisdom " has defined! In the case of Holy Communion, the penetrating power of the Holy Spirit is decisive. The Holy Spirit himself intervenes to preserve the Divine Will ! Sanctification is also a powerful antidote , especially the " great Sanctification of Epiphanies ", because it does not allow Satan and the artificial intelligence controlled by him to carry out his projects and plans. The sign of the Holy Cross has always been the great fear of demons. Our Church has many stories, mainly from the lives of our saints, that the honest Cross abolished the power of the poison with which the holy martyrs were watered to die. Whenever they made the sign of the Cross, the poison lost its power and could not cause the death of the holy martyr. Of course, we must not forget that these holy Christians had deep faith and great love for our Christ, since for His sake they gave up everything, in order not to betray and deny Christ! The daily prayer to God and especially to the Holy Spirit , when it is done with deep repentance and humility for our mistakes but also divine love in our heart for God our Father, is also a very powerful medicine against every satanic attack. Heartfelt prayer greatly attracts divine Grace, and creates a divine protection around the body and soul of the praying person. This divine protective armor prevents any form of satanic communication that attempts to offend the human body and soul , with the powerful spiritual interference it causes. Another great and important action of the holy prayer is that it will enlighten the mind of the humble person and will reveal to him, with the grace of the Holy Spirit, the truth of his choices and of the events that will happen. This awesome power of prayer to reveal the truth to the one who prays, will prove to be a very important help to the Christians of the last days, where the Antichrist and his followers will dominate everywhere. The man who is faithful to God, enlightened by the Holy Spirit, will be able to feel and in many cases even see the truth about a person, whether it is God's or Satan's. This will help many devout Christians to discern which spiritual leaders of the Church are following the true Christ and which are the Antichrist ! chaff will be separated from the wheat and the unworthy church leaders will be revealed , as well as the holy church fathers and teachers, so that Christians will know who they should trust and follow and who they should not. The straw will constitute the ecclesiastical leadership of the " World Church ", which will belong to the Antichrist and will be managed by his friend and associate the False Prophet , as the Apocalypse of John states. The wheat will consist of holy ecclesiastical men who will staff the " Catacomb Church " of the end times. Praying Christians by God's revelation will recognize who will be the chaff and who the wheat, so that they will know who will be those holy fathers and teachers whom they should hereafter trust and follow. 6. QUESTION How close are all these things that you have told us in such detail? All this has begun and will culminate in the very near future. Satan is of course in a hurry to take over the reins of world power through his own son the Antichrist . That is why he moves insidiously, with great guile and covertly, at all levels of power, in order to immediately become the " world leader ". God, however, still for a while, does not allow it , because people are ignorant of the whole truth , so that they can choose freely and on their own, the one they will believe and follow. great mercy to man, who does not want any human soul to perish in the darkness of Hades and hell, will allow three great events to occur that will help the whole world first to ponder and then to decide freely the most important choice in human history. One fact has to do with everything that will happen from here on out with human health , which will continue to undergo multiple catastrophic operations due to some experimental pharmaceutical preparations that will promise life and health but will cause a multitude of side effects, even death . The second event will be related to the unrestrained desire of some satanic leaders , who in their attempt to lead the whole world, will cause a global conflict with incalculable global disasters . The third event will be the revolution of nature itself in the satanic Christian states but also in the whole world that reacts to the true God, as a last attempt of the horse nature to awaken the man hypnotized by Satan, so that he comes to his senses, repents and to stop his impending destruction. In short, I can say that: a chain of very large natural disasters will change the very structure of the Earth, while the specter of hunger, thirst, disease, and despair will overshadow the entire planet. Therefore, if a man becomes concerned and realizes his mistake, through all that will happen, immediately everything will change for the better and the destructive course of himself and nature will stop. If, however, he persists in his selfish course and lets Satan be his lord and god, and willingly accepts Satan's mark and seal, then greater and more terrible world-catastrophic events will occur, causing death and incalculable numbers of people. These terrible world events are mentioned in the Apocalypse of Saint John. 7. QUESTION Who is this Antichrist, who will disrupt the life of the whole world? He is the son of Satan, who will be born from a woman in intercourse with Lucifer himself during a satanic ceremony. He will live in secret at first and from there he will direct the world leaders devoted to him, whom he himself raised to power. At the right time, he will ascend to political power. The charm of his satanic thinking, his rhetorical skill, and his imposition on all the leaders and peoples of the earth will be so strong that it will charm the entire planet. As a first act of impressment, the Antichrist will stop all the wars, which he has so far secretly directed. He will be proclaimed " prince of peace " and all the heads of state will hand over to him the power of their peoples. From that moment on the Antichrist will dominate me with absolute power over everything and with the help of perfected artificial intelligence, it will control everyone and everything. With the help of demons and artificial intelligence, he will even perform various artificially believable miracles, which he himself will project to the whole world to convince them that he is a god. That he is the real Christ who came to earth to save all people. The world church, which will already be ruled by his personal friend and satanic man, the False Prophet, will accept him as a man of God, as a prophet, and as a savior of the world. Then it will be officially disputed that our Lord Jesus Christ is the true Messiah of the world and that title of Messiah will be given to the Antichrist. the greatest and most ruthless persecution of the true Christ and Christians will reach its climax. All the religions of the world will recognize his supernatural powers and will accept him as their savior and god, therefore they will accept to take of their own will his own satanic seal, with which they will secure eternal faith in him and obedience. However, the real Christians who, with the help of God, will remain faithful to the one and true Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, will not accept this sealing, even if they have to give their own lives. For their faith, God will intervene miraculously, to protect them and give them the necessities for their survival. The Christians at that time will get their strength with the help of the Holy Spirit from the study of the Holy Scriptures, Holy Communion, and the wishes of their holy spiritual fathers. For this reason, the Antichrist and his followers will fight these three forces. They will attempt to rewrite the Holy Scriptures as they see fit. They will persecute on trifling occasions the reverend those spiritual fathers who oppose them. They will fight the Holy Communion in every way, so that people do not partake, until the moment when they will definitively abolish it and all the other " Mysteries " of the Church. The awesome power of Holy Communion is well known to Lucifer and his demons. He knows that as long as it is held in the holy Churches and reverently attended by the people, he and his demonic plans will not be successfully promoted and he will not be able to come as a world leader and messiah. The sign of his coming will be the abolition of Holy Communion. For this reason, from now on we will all see and live the great and terrible war that Lucifer will start against the Holy Communion, through his own politicians, scientists, and also, unfortunately, church leaders. To begin with, the immaculate Christ in Holy Communion will be accused by politicians and scientists of being able to contaminate and transfer diseases to the people. The confirmation of these satanic accusations through the condescension of little-faithful priests will mark the official beginning of the great persecution of Christ and His holy Church. Changing the way Christians attend will be the second sacrilegious step against the Holy Communion and the transformation of the Holy Communion into a solid form will constitute the third satanic effort of the spirits of darkness. In the last and most powerful attack against the Holy Communion, before its final cessation which will take place with the appearance of the Antichrist, it will be disputed that the Holy Communion is the Body and Blood of Christ but will be considered a " substitute ". We have entered, my child, into a strange period that I could confidently describe as the beginning of the eschatological times. It is the period when even the elect will go astray, as the Bible says. I wish that the Holy Spirit will enlighten us all so that we can understand the cunning of Satan and that we all remain faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ, the true Messiah of the world

One day Abba Macarius was walking in the desert when an angel of the Lord came up behind him and said:


 

‘‘Your blessing, Holy Father.’’  
Abba Macarius took him to be a hermit and said:
‘‘May the Lord forgive you, my child.’’ 
As they walked along together, Abba Macarius noticed the figure and appearance of the monk and said to him:  
‘‘My child, I see you and marvel! How beautiful you are! I have never seen such beauty in a human face. Perhaps you aren’t a man? In the name of God in Heaven tell me the truth.’’ 
Then the angel bowed to the elder and said: 
‘‘Bless me, Father, as you can see I’m an angel and have come to teach you the hidden mysteries which you want to know.’’
The elder bowed too and prayed:
‘‘Lord, I thank you, because you’ve sent me such a guide to teach me about things unknown and mysteries which I desire to learn.’’
The angel said to him softly:
‘‘Tell me what it is you wish to know.’’



ABBA: ‘‘Holy angel tell me, do people recognize one another in the life to come?’’

Just like this life, when people go to sleep and then wake up, they still recognize the people they knew before going to sleep; so it is in the life to come. People will recognize one another speak to each other and be joyous together. This is the fate of the righteous, but sinners aren’t so lucky and are deprived of this ability.’’


ABBA:‘‘Tell me, what happens after the soul leaves the body; and why are memorial services held for the dead?’’
 
ANGEL: ‘‘On the third day after the soul has been separated from the body, a holy angel takes this soul and ascends to heaven so that the soul can worship our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Between heaven and earth, there’s a big ladder and on each step a host of demons stand, acting like gatekeepers. The demons hold a list of our bad deeds and recount them for us, saying, ‘On a certain day you stole, fornicated, or committed such and such a sin ...’ Then the angels reveal the good deeds, such as prayer, charity, liturgies, fasting, and any other such actions that the soul has performed. The angels and demons then weigh these deeds. If there is a surplus of good deeds, the angels take the soul and ascend to the next step.
This happens from one step to another as the soul ascends to heaven. Each step up is responsible for a specific type of sin. On each level, the demons are fiercer than the previous ones. Finally, there’s a fierce battle and unimaginable struggle over the miserable soul.
The demons reproach and terrorize the soul, saying: ‘Where are you going? Wasn’t it you who fornicated and soiled Holy Baptism? Where are you going now? Turn back. Return. Go to hell, the outer darkness. Go back to the hellfire. Enter where the worm doesn’t die and the fire isn’t quenched.’
Then if that soul is condemned, the demons take it below the earth where darkness, anguish, and woe await. Woe on the day that this man was born.
Who could recount for you, Father, what the condemned souls suffer in that place! But if the soul is found clean, it ascends joyfully to heaven and is welcomed by the angels, with candles and incense. They then escort the soul to the judgment throne and worship our Lord, Jesus Christ. Then they see the Holy Disciples, Holy Martyrs, the ranks of the Holy Fathers, and the nine hierarchies of the Holy Angels.’’


ABBA: ‘‘Why and how the memorial services are celebrated?’’ 
 
ANGEL: ‘‘Well listen, Holy Father. The first memorial service is held on the third day after death. As we’ve said, the soul does not ascend to worship the Lord until the third day. This memorial service is offered to the Lord for the sake of the soul of the departed. After worshipping the Lord, the soul of the departed, with its escorting angels, returns to this earthly realm. There it is shown the various places it dwelled during this earthly life. It’s reminded of its earthly deeds, both the good and evil ones.
The angels say: ‘Here you stole, fornicated, masturbated, censured, murdered, committed perjury, loaned money at exorbitantly, became intoxicated, quarreled, and scandalized.’
Afterwards, the good deeds are shown. ‘Here you have given in charity, there fasted, repented, partook in the Divine Liturgy, prayed, held vigil, gave suppli-cations, kneeled in humility, remained standing during church services, showed self-restraint.’ So it continues, until the ninth day.
On the ninth day, they again ascend to heaven to worship, as during the third day. The memorial services held on the ninth day are to help secure the Lord’s leniency towards this soul. It is for this reason that it has been written that these intercessions are of the utmost importance.
Hence prayer, charity, liturgies, and memorial services aid the souls of the departed. These actions even can return souls from hell.
After the soul has worshipped the Lord a second time, the angels again escort the soul back to the earthly realm. The angels show the soul God’s mercy, paradise, the rest of the righteous, ‘God’s tabernacle’ and ‘the bosom of Abraham’. When it sees this unutterable happiness it is consoled and overjoyed, and beseeches the angels that it may stay here with the righteous.
Then it’s shown the hell of the wicked. The angels say: ‘This is the river of hellfire, the worm that doesn’t die. This is the outer and inner darkness where one will gnash one’s teeth. Afterwards, it’s shown the torments of the sinners. Holy Father, there is nothing worse or more frightening than the torments of those who fornicate or steal, especially the fornication of priests and monks.
When all this has been shown to the soul, it’s escorted again on the fortieth day to worship the Lord. For this reason, memorial services for the dead are held then. The most merciful God will decide on this day where the soul is to reside. This outcome is dependent on one’s deeds and actions, whilst on earth. Thus, the soul sets off and will stay there until the resurrection to come, so that the body also may be resurrected and receive its just rewards.’’


ABBA: ‘‘Can you please answer me this? Is there any rest or end for the torments of the sinner?’’

ANGEL: ‘‘No Holy Father. Neither the kingdom of the righteous nor that of the sinner will come to an end. Even if one were to remove a grain of sand every thousand years from the sea, you might still one day finish, but the hell of the wicked has no end.’’

ABBA: ‘‘Please answer me this too: which saints are most merciful towards men, so that they can beseech them for their wretchedness!’’
 
ANGEL: ‘‘All the saints are merciful towards men and have a good disposition. Men are thankless and ungrateful, and it makes them angry towards you. The holy angels are also merciful towards men because they’ve seen the extraordinary acts performed by God, for their salvation. Apart from the saints and angels, our All Holy and Blessed Lady, the Virgin Mary takes care of humanity above all others. Everybody, Holy Father, should have her name on their lips constantly, glorifying her name. It is due to her interventions and supplications that men still exist. But the devil has deceived humans and made them ungrateful. Men have contempt for God and the saints, and so God and the saints show contempt for the fallen nature of man.’’


ABBA: ‘‘Holy Angel, what is the most sinful of all evils?’’

ANGEL: ‘‘Every sin, worthy Elder, severs man from God. But resentment and blasphemy stand above all other sins. This is because these two can throw man into the depths of hell, into the internal depths of the earth and sea.’’


ABBA: ‘‘Which sin does God despise above all other sins?’’

ANGEL: ‘‘God despises above all other sins, the vanity of self-conceit, which is pride. This alone has destroyed all mankind. Adam, the first man, was exiled from paradise because of this. With this, the Pharisee lost the fruits of all his labor. When man falls into this sin, it is very difficult for him to recover his senses.’’


ABBA: ‘‘Which people are tormented the most?’’

ANGEL: ‘‘I have told you, the fornicator and the blasphemer. But I will tell you this also, below all of the other depths of hell there exists a level that is frightful, merciless, and cruel, and is known as oblivion. It’s there that priests and monks that have committed fornication are punished. These perverse and wicked individuals will suffer great punishment and dishonor. For this reason honorable elder, the order of angels that fell, will be replaced by the good priests and monks, and they will be elevated to a position of great honor.
This also applies to priests who break the law of God. Such priests are those that accept bribery, are corrupt and deviate from God’s law, and disdain the Holy Services, and their liturgical obligations for secular and worldly cares, even if only a single liturgy. They’ll be obliged to answer for their actions before God. What then can I say about those priests who become intoxicated? Woe to them because frightful punishments await them!’’


ABBA: ‘‘Please can you also tell me about what awaits those who treat Sunday with contempt? Have they any repose in the life to come?’’

ANGEL: ‘‘Woe to them, Holy Father, because a frightful punishment awaits them. Whoever treats Sunday, the holy day of our Lord with contempt, holds the Lord in contempt and the Lord will hold him in contempt. Sunday celebrates the day that our Lord was resurrected, and whoever honors this day honors our Lord. Whoever honors and celebrates the saint’s days will find that saints will help them. The saints have great boldness before the Lord, and if they ask anything of Him, He won’t refuse them.
Men have estranged themselves from a holy fear of God and in doing so, neither have God nor any of the saints as their friend. They’re preoccupied with worldly and secular pursuits, which are transitory and perishable. Woe to them. Recognize worthy elder, that every person, be he a priest or monk or layman, if he doesn’t honor Sunday as our Lord’s Day, he won’t see the face of the Lord, nor have hope of salvation.
Now, Holy Father, if you would like anything else, please, ask me. For now, it’s time for me to go to heaven and present myself before the Lord, and worship Him.’’



ABBA: ‘‘I beg you, tell me, which prayer is most suitable for a monk?’’

ANGEL: ‘‘If he is educated, the psalms of David; if not, the prayer ‘Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me a sinner’ will do! This prayer is the easiest and most effective. Many learned people have renounced their knowledge, and by clinging to this prayer, have been saved. It may be used by everyone: by those advanced in prayer and those who are starting out and inexperienced. Whoever wishes to be saved should hold on to this prayer day and night, whether in his cell or outside walking, it is this prayer that should relied on with willingness and desire, because this prayer is capable of helping anyone who wishes to be saved.’’


ABBA: ‘‘As you have come to teach me a sinner, I beg you please tell me this also: if a man who is still a sinner teaches another, and in doing so, he sets him free from the sin and shows him the true path, has he any reward?’’

ANGEL:‘‘Whoever teaches another and removes him from sins by showing him the proper path saves himself and the other soul. Similarly, whoever directs someone towards evil, not only destroys the other person but also hands his own soul over to the devil. There is no worse sin than to direct another person towards evil deeds. Similarly, there is no better action than to direct someone towards good deeds.’’


When the angel had finished these words of counsel he lowered his head towards the elder and said:

 ‘‘Bless me Holy Father, and please forgive me.’’
 
Then the elder fell on his knees and venerated the angel saying: 

‘‘Go in peace, appear before the Holy Trinity, and intercede for me.’’

When the angel left, ascending towards heaven, Abba Macarius gave thanks to God and went to his cell, where he gave an account of these events to a certain brother of good faith, for the glory of our Lord unto all ages. Amen.

"A new leader is coming, and he is not the Antichrist."

MORFU NEOPHYTOS: "We are in the proponia (pains before birth), as my late mother used to say, to give birth to a great leader! Christia...
