For Metropolitan Moses!
I have asked God to send me a teacher for ten years, but I understood that he was near my door and if I were ready he would come… Of course I understand that I wasn’t ready. That’s why I want to justify hope. I thank God that I have an opportunity to contact with Lord through You, dear Vladyka Moses.
I will not write that we need Your lectures because You see it without any words. We all are spiritually hungry without truly knowledge. This knowledge helps our hearts to open for God’s Love. This Love helps us become spiritually clean and light. And this Love unites us with God.
It has passed only 4 month from the beginning of our lectures but most people have some positive changes. I feel them and I am very glad. What I’d like to change in our lectures? Mainly nothing. We have to thank God for things He has given us. Maybe I’d like to hear more practical advices from You and from us more practical stories about our changes, feeling, processes that are near us. I think such stories will help us to understand everything better. And for me they also will be useful.
Respectfully Yours, Oleksandr.

Letter to Vladyka Moses, Metropolitan of Kyiv and all Rus-Ukraine Canonical Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Cathedral Church.
I thank God that He brought me to You; You are bishop who in really simple way have told people about God’s Truth. I am attending Your lectures with great pleasure they reveal secrets how to life with God. After these lectures I usually feel happiness and peace in my heart. Also my physical health improved. I feel myself much better on my work that is connected with communication with people. It became easily for me to understand people. These prayers You taught us help me to cope with everyday problems. I have checked it by my own experience. I used the water that was consecrated by You after Liturgy and I had Salvation in my flat. This accident happened with us. My son Alik forgot to close the door and left our flat opened. The doors had stood wide open for two and half hours. When I was returning from my work I thought: “If the God wanted our flat robbed it would be so even with armour doors.” And this thought disappeared. When I came to my flat I saw the doors stood wide open. I entered my flat and I saw that it was empty. Everything was in right places in flat. Anything wasn’t stolen. I understood that God protected my home these two and half hours. I thanked God hundred times for love and care that He gives us.
I’m saying the words “Glory to God” all the time and they help me.
I thank You for these lectures.
I feel that You are good and affectionate Person.
I am praying for You.
Gorobuszceva Olena.
if You could, make a lecture for men, please.
A lot of things have changed in my life due to Vladyka’s Moses lectures.
1.I thank God that He gave us His Pastor. He is clever, kind, handsome, with good sense of humour and beautiful voice.
He knew how to hold audience and to tell very important things in very simple and practical way that are useful in different situations.
2. My views about roles of husband and wife in family life have changed. I have understood that they are different and you can’t change their places because it can destroy harmony in the Universe.
3.Every day I use practical prayers in my life that were taught us by Metropolitan Moses. And they really work and give great results.
4.I have started to visit Metropolitan’s Moses Liturgies. I hadn’t visited Liturgies for about 10 years before it.
Yours faithfully,
Procyuk Olga.
God bless everyone!
There are no flukes in our life. Teacher comes only when student is ready. Thanks God, I have a chance to meet You and I think that all people who have such opportunity can say like that. Personally, I never went into the Church. I was far away from it six years ago. Almost two years ago I came to Your lectures for the first time. I can’t say that I was atheist at that time. Maybe in my own way, but I believe in God. But time came when we were need a person who would lead us along a spiritual road and would throw light on the road right ahead with a help of spiritual light. Just then You started Your serving in Uzhhorod. After the first lecture it became understandable that God send You. Nobody before You, and I think after You, wouldn’t give me so much as You gave. The Priest who gives God’s Light can give only love, the priest who knows the truth can teach only the truth. You are full of great love, invisible but perceptible light, good, commiseration and understanding of our problems; also You have a desire to help us, to teach us, to admonish us.
You taught us how to understand the point of the God’s Love; You share this Love with us because it was given to You by Lord. Nobody except You couldn’t raise the eyes of my soul up to light, love, understanding of God’s truth. You taught us how not to lose courage, how to cope with our problems. And the words “God loves everyone” give me a huge strenght which hepls me in difficult moments of my life. Isn’t it enough that You have done? Isn’t it enough that You have inflame the light in soul there was darkness? The light of Christ’s truth will be my guide in life. Personally for me the main thing is to feel warmth of faith and light of truth. I remember all Your words told in the Church; I will try not to lose all Christ’s knowledge that You gave us.
I was very sad when I heard about Your removal to Kyiv. I even envy people You go to. Let the God bless Your life. I hope I will have an opportunity to listen to You again.
Respectfully yours,
Vira Stepanivna.
Good day, Metropolitan Moses!
I am very glad that I have an opportunity to send You a letter. I have a lot of words, thoughts and feelings. We often think of Your sermons with Leonid. Especially the sermon about love; how we have to love all people and how we can communicate, touch another souls through the prayer of God’s love. To tell the truth it does not always come out, because of different reasons. Carelessness and fear are the main reason why I can’t be open and trust God. I often forget that all people have sanctity. It lives in them modestly and quietly. Obedience and humanity are with it. These personal qualities seem to be unnoticeable and very quiet. But person lives and keeps his spiritual, physical strength with the help of these sources. Arrogance, on the contrary, cries and shows itself entailing deprecation and another vanity. People have to be afraid of it. Because it seems to be not dangerous but with time it can involve you more deeply into the darkness. But if the person sees your prayer in God’s light and feel this grace only once, he can’t leave. And if the person has some troubles he will suffer a lot and reach for this God’s love. We have to talk about love as much as possible, because only through love the person have a chance to redeem, only with the help of love we can find the way in the endless and interminable space, in which our hope is situated.
All parishioners in Detroit, state Michigan, often asked about You, phoned and mourned for You. Whatever way we will choose, we will be happy, because our heart made us to go along it again and again, but now the way is selected for us.
Bless us Father.
With low bow Irina, Leonid, Anastasia. The USA, Detroit, state Michigan.
Glory to Jesus Christ!
Thank God that Vladyka Moses appeared in Uzhhorod to help people find the way of truth, belief and good. Dear Vladyka Moses, the lectures You carrying out have opened to me some simple truths of life and it is even strange why I didn’t understand them before. Belief, hope, good, love, forgiveness… And if they are inside you, if they are in your heart and soul, everything in you soul will sing and be glad of the world nevertheless he is so cruel now. I thank God that I am here, that I see this world and live in it; I thank God that my parents are safe and sound, that my child is healthy, that he give me strength to be strong in this life. I have changed after Your lectures, I have peace of mind now, I don’t feel anger to people that hurt me. Talking with unknown people in the shop, in the bus, on my work I noticed that if you appealed to them with smile and pleasant words, they would answer you in the same way. But, Vladyka Moses, there are some moments then evil spirit tempts me. It can come light in squabble; squabble can turn into crossness and soon into anger. I try to control myself and I pray to God with the help of my Guardian Angel as a result the prayer is spiritually warm for my soul. And then in the prayers I ask God to give me love and forgiveness to all people that wish me evil or I wish it them. You know, I don’t feel anger or detestation to this people, I remember them without any umbrage, but I can’t say that I feel love to them, maybe only forgiveness. I feel light chant in my heart during our prayers, which disappeared after the prayers and I feel myself easily, comfortably. I almost always see a light appearing before my eyes during the prayer, I see it like a stream of energy and at this moment I want to go up and unite with this Godlike stream and fly with it; and sometimes it seems to me that I am under God’s Cover, protect that’s why it is easy and calm.
Glory to God!
Lyba B.
Thank you, God! Thank you, Lord!
Thank you, Vladyka Moses (our dear Father Oleg)!
I have changed like person for half and one year; this time I have been attending our Church. Some images and fear disappeared; new spiritual interests appeared. It’s a pity we can’t change everything. God forgive me. God save me.

Dear Vladyka Moses!
There are no accidental things in the world. I rarely watch TV, but last summer I switched it on and saw a Men talking about my thoughts, ideas and spiritual search. I have understood that strong spiritual thought appeared in Uzhhorod. I recorded on tape Your voice. It was a great happiness for me to see You in Church. Perfection and smoothness of motions, gentleness of voice and talent for speaking create feeling of power, beauty, wisdom, grandeur. But it is understandable that it is God’s gifts they are result of great assiduity, strong faith and serving God. Even when You are silent God’s Grace infest people only due to Your presence, inspire to noble sentiments and improve imperfections of souls. You have very important and difficult mission to lead people to Light of knowledge. It is great responsibility for spiritual evolution of people, for salvation of our planet that is on the blink of ruin. People have to realize a huge responsibility for their Earth, appreciate God’s care and know spiritual law of creating the Universe. I have already devoted myself to improve spiritually. I am vegetarian, I don’t drink alcohol and I try not to lose my temper because I know that every effect has its cause. But the world is so aggressive and even if you work hard it will quickly destroy your spiritual skills and when you feel chronic tiredness. You see it.
I am attending Your religious lectures and masses to fill myself with strength. And speaking about that attacks on You, I must admit -“If the light is strong, the darkness will also be deep.”
I’d like to say more. But of course I can’t write all on paper.
These words are for You:
(Poem in the Russian language)
Учитель Истины
Учитель Истины!
Ты так велик, что все мое сознанье, войдя в тебя, увидит лишь
отдельный лик,
И каждый раз, и каждый миг непредсказуем ты и не прописан,
Меняя фокусы всех тел своих, вбирая каждый раз частицы света, мне
незнакомого.
Так сколько ж света в тебе накоплено?
Когда успел ты все в себя вобрать?
Когда за каждый обращенный ко мне лик
Я трепещу и торжествую.
Учитель Истины! Как ты велик!
Я это знаю, чувствую и чую.
Я вылечен тобой, я ослеплен сияньем, лишь для того, чтоб правду
обозреть.
Я стройным поражаюсь мирознаньям и мирозданьям, и миролюбием, и мира
творчеством, и мира обозреньям.
И спать ложусь и пробуждаюсь я с именем твоим,
Оно так многогранно и так величественно милостью имен,
Учитель - таинство моих знамен, моих знамений.
Не испрошу других я позволений - лишь право быть твоим учеником,
Да и просить не вправе, в праве только ждать,
Когда священная рука главы коснется.И с песней радость трепетно взовьется:
Учитель правды! Ты учи, я - Ученик!
Bows low, Nadia Ivanivna.
When I have started to visit lessons of religion, I stopped getting up in the morning with fear that something bad could happen, now I feel calmness in my soul. I know that God loves me. You taught me how to pray, to appeal to God, to love. Confession also gave me calm. My reaction on falsehood and rough words has changed. I see that the world is beautiful in spite of all his defects. I study how to appeal to God with request and I feel that His love, kindness is unbounded.
Ivan K.
With God’s Blessing.
I asked God’s Mother to help me to start visit Church. I stopped near Your advertisement about lectures, but I rarely do such things. I talked with three women attending Your lectures and first I came on religious lesson and when on Liturgy. Your religious lessons gave me a lot, thank You Father Oleg. I am absolutely unlettered, I am studying how to make my first words, but it is difficult. Your lessons help people to form their characters and behaviour in the right way. I didn’t pay attention on some things, and now I am trying to change them in better way.
Evgenia P.
God bless You, Vladyka Moses!
I have visited only 7 your lectures. When I for the first time had come here I understood that I found the truth I have been looking all my life and it was difficult for me to find it. At the beginning I have had a shock from things I heard; now I feel happiness but I can’t say that my life is easy. I want to live in accordance with God’s Commandments and it isn’t very easy to lose the habit of living in another way. Now I’m radically changing my life and for people who are around me my doings seem strange, incomprehensible. I don’t explain them anything because I know that they sooner or later will find their own way to God. I have done the first steps and I have understood that it will be difficult, but my belief in God is so strong that I don’t afraid of asperities. Earlier I believed in God but I had doubts. I always said “God, if you exists, help me” but I never asked God to forgive my sins. Now I am absolutely certain that God and my Guardian Angel are near me. During the day I am constantly trying to speak with my Guardian Angel. And in the hard times I imagine near Guardian Angel Your image. These two images are equal for me, but You are teaching us to apply only to God with the help of Guardian Angel and to reject other images. After Your lessons it became easily for me to communicate with people, I can clearly, easily recognize good and bad people, now I’m sorry for all people {the rich and the poor, the kind and the nasty}, because they are so inner-robbed, as I was. That’s why I want to help everyone. As all in this room I live from lecture to lecture, form mass to mass and I can say that I’m absolutely happy!
Yours truly, Nely G.
I am a person, who have been looking for truth for 10 years: for what I live, who am I, whether I rightly understand my role in this life, whether my way in the world is correct {because it can only seems that it is correct but it can be wrong}, how to educate children, what to teach them, what they have to inherit. I didn’t know how would be better to do it: with the help of nature or God. I went through monarch Mykolay’s teaching {Chernivtsi- Kyiv}, acquainted myself with Krishny’s teaching and others. I read about Saint Lavreniy, Saint Serafum-Sarovsky. I have been studying Shri-Matadchni’s teaching for four years, how with the help of Holy Spirit you can get to know a lot in this world by method of love and forgiveness. I went to the Orthodox Church. I’m telling You about it just to compare with feelings I felt on Vladyka’s Moses lectures. My friends told me about You lectures but I didn’t have opportunity to come to Your lectures and only by accident I came. I was late and then I came in there were no free seats, thanks God I found one in the first row. For the first 10 minutes I understood that Vladyka knew answers on all my questions and knew how to tell me this Holy knowledge in the way I could realize it, also I felt communication with the Holy Spirit and it was great. I visit lectures and Liturgies. Due to Vladyka’s chant I feel happiness, love to all people; it’s a pity I can’t feel it before. Vladyka taught me how to pray. After Vladyka’s consecration of our flat, everything in my family is good, my husband went on confession and he has listened to my advices. I also have to tell about my mother: she is very ecclesiastic person; she is praying a lot, has strong faith in God and mighty doings of Bigots. Vladyka Moses told and explained her a lot of things, He blessed her pray that’s why she is very happy. Then I come on lecture I never ask anything because Vlabyka usually answers on all my questions during the lecture. I thought that He answered only on my questions but friends told me that they have the same situation. I have the feeling that Father Oleg – Vladyka Moses read our thoughts. Thanks to Vladyka’s Beneficial prayers in the cold church hall I usually feel warm and happiness in my soul and I know that it is action of Holy Spirit. When my husband for the first time came into the cold church and felt warm after Vladyka's prayer I was glad, because I felt the same. During the prayers at home or in the church I am always crying, I use my tears to express my gratitude to God and at this moment I feel good. But one day there was an accident: my daughter burst into tears in the Church, she came out and cried for 10 minutes. I was happy because through the Holy Spirit and due to prayer she cleared herself. I have started to attend Vladyka’s Moses lectures in June, now my husband goes with me. God really help us through St.Mukolay when it is necessary. We finally got married {we were living 32 years together and 3 years we were going to do it}. We are praying together every morning and my husband became better due to Vladyka’s Moses teaching. {He told how to live with peace in the family}. I all the time want to say to newcomers: devour Vladyka’s every word, every thought and do as He says, because He wants we to take as much as possible and He tries on 110%. I can describe a lot but the main thing that I have changed with the help of Vladyka’s Moses lectures for 4 month more than alone for 10 years.
Let the God bless everyone.
God’s slave Olga.
My family and I thank God for our meeting with Vladyka Moses, now we know how to live according to God’s commandments. We are trying and as a result we’re coping with darkness and we are rewarded by God’s help, presents, prompting, being happy every day. We are living and exulting. Then my husband say “ I am afraid of something” I answer him: “Don’t be afraid, just thank God”. I wish You, Vladyka Moisey, God’s Blessing on Your beautiful plans and bright road. We are Your helpers.
With love, Your family P. We are praying for You.
Good day and God’s help we wish You, Vladyka Moses!
(Poem in the Ukraine language)
З святами Вас вітаю
І Божої Благодаті бажаю.
Такого задуму в нас не мав ніхто -
З'єднати всіх Боговіруючих
Воєдино, спілкуватись
З Богом особисто
І попасти в Царство небесне просто.
Взагалі, починаючі були цих справ,
Но, мабуть, завершити Вам Бог наказав
І не тільки на Україні, але в ближніх краях.
Прямої дороги і результату у Ваших ділах.
Ми в душі з Вами, тільки не маємо ще такої великої Божої сили.
As I could, so I wrote about myself and your teachings, Vladyka Moses.
Спаси Вас, Господи, Владико Мойсей!
Ми просимо Спасителя,
Щоб Вам здоров'я слав,
У Києві від злих людей
Завжди оберігав.
Щоб щасливою була у Вас
Проповідниця - Доля,
Щоб Вас обминало
Нещастя і Горе.
Спаси Вас, Бог,
Що нас вчите Добра і Любові,
За ті знання, що даєте
В Недільній нашій школі (Середа і Субота).
По Божому Закону
Ви жити нас вчите,
Ми знали - хто ЗАКОН порушить
Кара не мине.
Ми молимось, як Ви вчите
Постійно, щоденно,
За Вас, за рідну Україну
За недругів і за всю Вселену.
Хай Вас Мати Пресвята
Завжди оберігає,
Хоронитель-Ангел допомагає,
Бог Благословляє.
Хай Бог веде Вас далі
Як вчора і нині
Нести Любов Христову
По рідній Україні.
Нехай Творець Небесний
Ваш ПУТЬ БЛАГОСЛОВИТЬ,
Хай завжди з Вами буде:
І кожен День, і кожну Мить.
The faithful of Sviato-Troyicka UAO Catholic Church, Uzhhorod city.
At the first day when I came into the room,
I felt Grace, calmness and smell of frankincense.
Lectures go off very interesting, we find out a lot of new information or remind forgotten knowledge and in another way start to understand it. During our lectures I’m calm, confident and I have faith in priest. He is also calm and well-balanced then He carries lectures out. We’d like to listen Him all the time. Then we ask questions and He gives answers on them. This questions are always different and on different topics.

After visiting Vladyka’s Moses lectures
I have understood that I lived in darkness and was like blind kitten with my problems, making bumps on my forehead. I felt that someone has helped me but because of our atheistic breeding I didn’t think that it could be God or my Guardian Angel. After unexpected adultery of my husband he said it was only passion but not truly love I started to fight for him and made a lot of mistakes {I appealed to extrasensory perception adept who helps to return husband into the family}. And only on lectures I realized that I have courted disaster. But better late than never. That’s why I’m glad that with Vladyka’s Moses help I came to God. My soul filled with spiritual calmness, my doings are improving, I fill burst of energy, I want to help people in different ways. I don’t afraid of tomorrow day {whether we will survive or not?} I certainly believe that we will survive and I wait impatiently for the next day which surely bring happiness and delectation: happiness for successes of my son and delectation from my work, I know that I am not alone in this world, I am protected by God and my Guardian Angel, with whom I’m constantly talking in my heart. I feel their presence and love to me, to my mother, to my son and I thank God for our meeting with Vladyka Moses. I wish You rude health and many years of life. Let Yours and ours dreams came true and we will build our Cathedral Christian Church, here in Uzhhorod, where certainly will be going my future grandchildren. Glory to Jesus Christ!
Vira Vasylivna.
Glory to Jesus Christ!
I thank God for opportunity and You for help to join to God’s glory, I wish You from the bottom of my heart inspiration to preach God’s Word and success to build up our Cathedral Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which I believe will lead people out from darkness and spiritual decline. I want to say that I had been waiting a lot for the time then I’ll go Church in which I will feel myself like at home with family. Now I’ll tell a little bit about my feelings after first lecture. First of all I can’t even imagine that I could change so quickly. I can compare it with situation then a man has driving licence and skills to drive, and he bought a car in motorcar showroom, of course there is some petrol in tank for you to drive away, but if you want to move you will have to refuel your car with energy {petrol}. And I got it, I believe that I will get God's wisdom to move on to the God’s glory. I live in Veluke Beresneve it is town 40kl near Uzhhorod and I didn’t like to waist time on trips in electric trains but my feelings have changed. Now I am happy that I have to hurry on, during this one and half hour trips I can read books about God’s Word or think about it. When I went on Wednesday on my second lecture, before it I came into the shop and wanted to buy a roll. I stood near the counter for salesman to notice me but suddenly some other people came in and salesman accommodated with them first, I wouldn’t noticed it if the man near me didn’t say: “You are so calm young man, youth isn’t like you ”. It was very pleasantly because I can’t say that I can always calmly react on such situations. All the more I was hurry. Earlier I went to Church because it was a kind of tradition but now it is necessity, I’m planning my domestic details and work beforehand to come on lectures or Liturgy. My family live in Perechun this town is between Uzhhorod and Veluke Beresnave that’s why I am at home two times a week. But at home thanks God everything is good. My wife is calm, my elder daughter studies better, my younger daughter behaves herself better when we left her with grandmother. My work is put in order, I have became confident and brave then I talk about God’s Word. I’d like to say more, to ask advice and I hope I’ll have such opportunity. Thank You very much that You have found time to read my letter and I hope that I can called myself
Brother in cross – Myroslav.
Dear Vladyka Moses!
I attended Your wise, useful course of lectures and I want to say what they gave me. I had infarct, insult and prayers helped me a lot. I almost lost the use of my tongue and my left side is paralysed. I had intensive treatment but everything is good now due to prayers. To my surprised I started to move better, my speech became clearer and my locomotor ataxia returned. I waited impatiently for Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I went to Church, read the Bible, the Gospels, and didn’t understand a lot but Your lectures helped me. God’s Liturgy on Ukraine language is clear and comprehensible for me. Many thanks for help.
Let the God redeem and bless You for wise knowledge.
Yours faithfully, Maria Petrivna.
God, forgive me my sins and give me love to You.
I lived 54 years with sins, which I was doing all my life. Now I fall to thinking: why it is so?
My son and daughter are so negative. I have been upbringing them on my own and I wanted them to be honest, good people, in spite of my own drawback. I thought about visiting Church several years, however I have one “BUT”. Opposite house, there I’m living; Church of Moscow had been built. And I was watching how people were going there. They came out after Liturgy in bad mood, I heard their words and I was astonished – it is Church!, Holy Place! – but people quarreled, talked about sinful things. This picture stopped me to go to Church. Then one day came and my heart cried: you have to go, to repent, to pray. My best friends went with me to Pokrovsky friary, there I felt myself better, but in the beginning I cried and didn’t know what to do during Liturgy. I know that I have a lot of sins that I have to implore them many years with help of good doings. And the day when I went on Liturgy that You served was the most unforgettable for me. From our first meeting till now I want to go to our Church every day, where You, our Spiritual Teacher, with the help of Your knowledge and prayers give us understanding and love to God. Of course I have to learn a lot from You, but I will try to love God. Expiate all my sins for the sake of my children, for sake of our Family and love to neighbours. Now I am praying every evening and every morning, as You told, ask God forgiveness. My Guardian Angel helped me to pray I feel it. One day my landlady offended me and because of it I cried. But at once I applied to my Guardian Angel and through the minute she asked me to forgive her and kissed me. Let the God protect You!
I set my hope on You. I will help to build Our Church as I can.
Ludmila Garifovna.
Only once in the life you can meet such personality, as You.
I thank God that I’m among Your parishioners. Thank You for unique endowment into the people fates. I feel how prayers, that You shown us, influence on our souls. I sometimes talk can with my Guardian Angel but rarely. Then I started attend Your lectures I felt that Angel healed me (there were warm flow and unbelievable symptoms). As You warned malicious strength became more active in daily life. I’m worrying that they can drag me from right way by different methods. I know that I have to pray, but my prayer and my soul are still weak. In spite of it I have noticed some positive changes in me. Thank You.
With respect, Your Kate O.
Glory to God!
Thank You, Lord, for Father Oleg, for rather difficult knowledge but simplified and made accessible to apprehend them. Thank You for religious lessons that are teaching me how to pray, to believe, to hope, to tolerate, to forgive, to love… Thank You for perception of love what I didn’t know all my life. In prayers to God I feel such enthusiasm like I’m dissolving. This happiness of love continues from one prayer to another, from one lecture to another. I’m waiting impatiently for Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday … It is interesting that nothing have changed in my life only perception of the word are different. Not big flat became bigger, the room there I’m praying now like a big hall, I have the same money as I had but it seems than now I have them more, even can share. In my family is peace and love. I’m consort with my Guardian Angel. I think he is very wise because his advices are always weighty and true. My husband, children, grandson, sons-in-law began consider my opinion. I’m not suffering from illnesses now; I think I was ailing because of my unhealthy soul… God save You.
R.Magda.
Glory to Jesus Christ.
I don’t know whether You could read my letter, because I write a bad hand, but thank You for opportunity to say several words. I don’t want to delay You after the lectures because as I see You don’t have a lot of time. However, I want to thank God for people who helped me to open my eyes in this life. I came to the Church due to one Greek-Catholic priest in Lviv, there I have been studying. He explained me the necessity of becoming practiced Christian. Although during the last years I lost sincerity of prayer, which I felt earlier. I have been asking priests how to return this sincerity during the confession? I was told that I have to do short prayer. But it didn’t help. I have been praying but my mind didn’t concentrate on the prayer. On You lectures and common prayers I feel like I’m breathing new fresh air. Now my spiritual state is better than it was at spring. I’ve become easy-tempered and now I don’t need valerian drops, which I used all the time. I thank God for new feelings and emotional experience that I feel when we are praying together.
Mr.Myhaylo.
Because of different reasons become my physical and mental weakening. From corky, courageous woman I turned into irritated, helpless, godless person. My soul got entangled in the meshes of darkness. But I have a strong desire to get free from snares and go to light. How? And I found the way – Your religious lectures. They were my salvation, which helped me to overcome physical and mental weakness. Thanks to Your advices I began to see clearly, now I don’t care about little troubles, little failures and disappointments. There are another world – world of Love and Good. Now I’m with hope look into the future because it is with God. I think that such religious lessons have to be in all schools and universities. They will help young people to find their place in their lives, to make right choice and become patriots. The God send You to help me to redeem. However, it’s a pity that religious lessons are missed, because they were about real cultural wealth, hope and beauty.
Yaroslavna Ivanivna – lecturer in college of culture.
I have attendant three lectures. I feel myself on Your lessons really great, I’m listening God’s words from You with big pleasure. When I have heard You words to audience for the first time I wanted to take all my relatives, friends with me next time. I didn’t feel my body during the first prayer, my tears were running down my cheeks… I feel the smell of miraculous aroma as if the fresh air enveloped my body. I have recollected my sins during the third prayer, how I gave offences to my brother, his wife, and compassion, shame, pain for my behavior. It’s a pity that my heart didn’t answer when I was offered to come on lectures for the first time. We have to be thankful for our Spiritual Teacher.
Let the Angel protect You, Father Oleg, from all disasters, God’s Mother cover You with her defense, Jesus Christ bless You with strong physical, spiritual and soul health for long years of life.

Dear Vladyka Moisey.
When I saw You in the church for the first time I‘ve understood that You are Great Teacher. Your lectures ennoble people, teach them love and wisdom. For all my life I for the first time asked my colleagues forgiveness when I cried on them. I’m working with computers, making balance sheet for bank and listing for all departments. I have to work from 3p.m. to 11p.m. Because of work it is difficult for me to communicate with people. The sounds of printer make me feel aggression, commotion. Then I come home in the evening I only cry on my son all the time. Your lectures helped me to thank God and ask Him to give me love to my relatives and colleagues. Before lectures I have been crawling because my legs didn’t want to work but now I can walk. I have a lot of illnesses and for women 54 years old is more difficult to be lonely than for younger girls – they have hope. I understood on Your lectures that our life doesn’t stop, we will realize a lot of things on the higher levels. That’s why, would You be so kind to announce when new lectures will start because I attend them only month. Thank You and God.
O.O.G.
