According to the UOC's Primate, the saints pray for everyone without exception, making no distinctions between people. It is sin that divides people, while God unites all.
On the Fifth Sunday of Great Lent, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kyiv and All Ukraine explained in his sermon why the Church commemorates the act of repentance of St. Mary of Egypt on this particular day. The address was reported by the UOC’s Information and Education Department.
According to the Metropolitan, every person living on earth sins – and in doing so "feeds" sinful thoughts, inclinations, and passions, which become inner "beasts." When someone chooses to repent and cease sinning, these passions rise up against them.
“The passions begin to torment a person who wants to be rid of them. They also harm those living alongside such a person. So that we don’t fall into despair, the Church offers us the example of the repentance of St. Mary of Egypt, who endured all of this,” said the Primate.
His Beatitude emphasized that St. Mary endured many years of suffering caused by sinful desires, enduring both cold and heat, but with God’s help, she overcame her passions and attained grace.
“May the Lord, through the prayers of St. Mary of Egypt, help us to spend the days of Lent in self-restraint and inner struggle – cutting off sinful desires, emotions, and thoughts,” the Metropolitan said.
In his sermon, His Beatitude also reminded the faithful that on this day the Holy Church commemorates the Venerable Fathers of the Zverynets Monastery. He shared the story of the life and struggles of the confessor and saint, Venerable Philaret (Kochubei), former abbot of the Zverynets Monastery, who is now glorified among the saints.
“Venerable Philaret is an intercessor for this holy place. He prays for those who come here to pray, to grow spiritually, for our city, our region, and all people,” said the Metropolitan.
According to His Beatitude, the saints pray for everyone without exception, not dividing people into categories. It is sin that divides people, but God unites all. And the saints, by imitating Him in mercy and love, also pray for everyone.
“They pray that the sinner may become righteous, and that the righteous may be sanctified even further. Such is the prayer of the saints,” added Metropolitan Onuphry.
At the conclusion of his sermon, the Archpastor called everyone to spiritual struggle, which is necessary for restoring within ourselves the image of God, which has been damaged by sin.
“May the Lord help us to walk the path of repentance with patience, never straying from it, and to continue along the way of spiritual life,” said His Beatitude.

The Kyiv Theological Academy expressed condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims.
Following the Divine Liturgy on April 5, 2025, the faculty and students of the Kyiv Theological Academy and Seminary offered prayers for all those who died as a result of Russian missile strikes on Kryvyi Rih on April 4, according to the Academy’s press service.
A memorial litia was served in the academic church dedicated to St. John of Damascus at the Intercession Monastery in Holosiiv, led by Archimandrite Markel (Pauk), a lecturer, together with the academy’s clergy and seminarians in holy orders.
“The Kyiv theological schools express their condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims. May the All-Merciful Lord grant rest to the souls of the innocently slain in the dwellings of the righteous,” the statement reads.
The service was conducted with the blessing of Archbishop Sylvester of Bilohorodka, rector of the Kyiv Theological Academy and Seminary.

Nineteen people were killed, including nine children, and sixty-one were injured, among them twelve children, as a result of the Russian missile attack on Kryvyi Rih. The city has declared days of mourning on April 7, 8, and 9 for those who perished in the recent strikes.

The Cherkasy Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) has denied the Orthodox Church of Ukraine’s (OCU) claims to churches in Cherkasy.
The Legal Department of the Cherkasy Eparchy of the UOC issued an official statement regarding attempts to raid churches in Cherkasy. The statement was prompted by an incident on April 2, 2025, when OCU representatives tried to seize St. Andrew’s Church and the Church of the Nativity of Christ.
According to the document, following the failed attempt at a forcible takeover, a post titled “Refuting False Information” appeared on the official Facebook page of the "Cherkasy Eparchy of the OCU." UOC lawyers called this post “a manipulation based on blatantly false claims.”
The legal department emphasized that both churches are legally owned by the administrative body of the Cherkasy Eparchy of the UOC, and the land plots on which the churches are situated are in the permanent use of the diocese, as confirmed by official State Land Acts.
The statement refutes the OCU's reference to “Justice Ministry decision No. 1861/5 from June 21, 2024,” which allegedly revoked the ownership rights. “This is a blatant lie and manipulation. The decision merely annulled the actions of the registrar who entered the data into the registry more than ten years ago, but it does not and cannot revoke the ownership itself, as upheld by a ruling of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine,” the statement reads.
The lawyers also pointed to fraudulent practices involving the sudden appearance of "parishes" represented by the OCU. According to their information, the UOC’s St. Andrew parish had been officially dissolved back in 2013 but suddenly “resurrected” in the registry on March 7, 2025, and immediately joined the OCU. Meanwhile, the Church of the Nativity of Christ parish “never legally existed at all” and was registered only in February 2025.

In conclusion, the Cherkasy Eparchy appealed to local authorities and law enforcement to prevent bloodshed and the illegal seizure of church property.

The UOC hierarch is confident that the time will come when the country returns to the rule of law, and those now persecuting the Church will be held accountable.
On April 2, 2025, Metropolitan Theodosiy (Snihiriov) addressed the faithful of Cherkasy in response to the ongoing threat of new church seizures in the city, according to the press service of the Cherkasy Eparchy.
The bishop explained that, departing from his usual practice, he gave an interview to Suspilne to explain the situation surrounding the unlawful claims of the OCU to the UOC churches of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called and the Nativity of Christ in Cherkasy.
Metropolitan Theodosiy underscored that no local community – religious or otherwise – has any legal ownership rights to these churches. Any attempt to seize them, he said, is "banditry", and the police are obliged to prevent such raider takeovers.
Referring to the seizure of the Archangel Michael Cathedral, which belongs to the diocesan administration, the hierarch warned against complacency, stating that "for these people, the law means nothing."
"Unfortunately, the current Ukrainian authorities are enabling this lawlessness. And for now, hoping that the law, the Constitution, and the right to freedom of conscience and property will prevail is futile," he said, adding: "But the time will surely come when the country returns to the rule of law. And all those who persecute us now – the instigators, the executors, and the organizers – will be held accountable."
According to him, "today is their time."
"There’s no defense against brute force. But we must defend our churches, show that we exist in this country. We are not 'Moscow lice,' as one city council deputy called us (in a civilized country, that deputy would be in jail, while here, it’s our hierarchs and priests being imprisoned – like Metropolitan Arseniy). We are not 'vermin' or second-class people – we are citizens of Ukraine with equal rights," the Cherkasy ruling bishop concluded.

Archpriest Oleksandr Petrenko, head of the Center for the Rehabilitation of Soldiers and Civilians of the Sumy Diocese of the UOC, has been continuing to evacuate residents from dangerous settlements in the Krasnopil and Yunakiv communities since March 21.

Surely everyone has seen the video where Father Oleksandr tried to persuade grandmother Nadia and her goat to leave Uhroidy. But she refused to leave the farm, the goat and the turkeys.
Here is the continuation of this story of risk, faith and salvation of ordinary people in the photo.

“Our religious community has a minibus that fits evacuees, so we decided not to sit on the sidelines, but to help,” said Father Oleksandr.

Most of the evacuees are residents of Ugroidi, 7 km from the village to the Russian border. There are also people from Krasnopilly, Mogrytsia and Osoyivka.

One evacuation lasts an average of 5–6 hours. In 10 days, the priest took out more than 30 people from enemy shelling.

🐐🐈🐕‍🦺Along with them, there are dozens of cats, dogs and even a goat, which gave birth to kids the next day after the evacuation.

“There were also unexpected loads – people are carrying TVs. For some, this is the most valuable thing,” shared Father Oleksandr.

It happened that enemy drones flew next to his evacuation transport.

“Recently, one flew about 20 meters from me. It was scary. I wanted to lie down, hide. But everything was ok. I am a faithful. I hope in God.”

Father Oleksandr does not wear a bulletproof vest, but he promised to think about it.

Although most people have already been evacuated from the border area, the number of applications is not decreasing. People who left in a hurry are now asking to return for their documents and belongings.
Father Oleksandr agrees.

“It happens that people leave with nothing. Then we give them money that is sent by those who care, so that these people can buy the most necessary things.”

The evacuation from the areas under shootings has been going on for over two weeks...

According to political analyst Kostiantyn Bondarenko, the Ministry of Culture’s “work” with the relics of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is an act of cynicism.
In an interview with blogger Oleksandr Shelest, political expert Kostiantyn Bondarenko commented on the Ministry of Culture’s commission tasked with “studying the scientific and cultural value of the remains of saints” in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
In his view, these actions further highlight the government’s hostility toward the Church.
“The very inspection of the Near and Far Caves, initiated by the Minister of Culture, is cynical by nature – not only are they attempting to inventory the relics, but also to assess their scientific and historical value,” said Bondarenko.
He suggested that the inclusion of biologists and even veterinarians on the commission implies a scientific, possibly even genetic investigation.

“What exactly are they going to study? Are they trying to determine whether these relics belong to Ukrainians or not? How can one even identify historical and cultural value this way? I don’t understand it,” Bondarenko remarked.

The “rector” of the seized church in the village of Dubivtsi was unable to explain how the Orthodox Church of Ukraine obtained canonical ordinations.
On April 1, 2025, during the seizure of the Dormition Church in the Bukovynian village of Dubivtsi, a discussion arose between a UOC parishioner and the OCU “priest” overseeing the takeover. The cleric from Dumenko’s structure appeared somewhat sluggish in his movements but was able to speak.
At first, the woman asked whether he, as a representative of a “local autocephalous church,” could serve in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ. The “priest” called the question a “provocation.”
She then asked him to explain how apostolic succession and canonical ordinations came into being within the OCU.
"Why did Bartholomew not recognize the UOC-KP and Filaret?" she asked.
"Because they were in schism," the “priest” replied.
"Then why didn’t Bartholomew re-ordain those bishops?" she continued. "If they were in schism and Bartholomew didn’t recognize them, then their ordinations were invalid. Why didn’t he re-ordain them?"
The woman explained that, as an Orthodox Christian, she could not justify joining the OCU because she did not understand how apostolic succession could have emerged there.
"Please explain. This is a huge problem for me. I can’t understand how OCU bishops and priests could have received grace if they were not ordained in the canonical Church. What ordination did those bishops have who were consecrated before the Tomos was granted?" she asked.
In response, the OCU cleric assured her that “everything is canonical” but could not explain where this canonicity came from. He claimed the woman simply didn’t understand what “canonicity” meant.
"Ordinations were done remotely," suggested one of the OCU activists.
The OCU “priest” disagreed with her but still failed to clarify where canonical ordinations in his structure originated. In the end, another OCU cleric approached, offered support, and led him away from the discussion.

❗️"The seizure of UOC churches is not just incitement of interregional enmity, but GENOCIDE of the UKRAINIAN PEOPLE, believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, on the religious grounds, "

❗️"I appeal first of all to the city authorities, to the military governor, to the head of the Cherkassy SBU, to the head of the Cherkassy police, and to the chief prosecutor of the region...

All officials who will not be able to prevent the crime will answer!"

"The cathedral, which is now standing empty, is not enough for them. It is not enough that they expelled several thousand people to the streets, and we are wandering around different churches and basements. They want to seize two more churches."

This time, the invaders have earmarked the churches of St. Andrew the First-Called in Mytnytsia and the Church of the Nativity of Christ in the South-West microdistrict.

In a number of budget institutions, workers were warned, fearing dismissal, that they would have to be ready in the morning to "squeeze the churches from the Moscow priests"...

◾️The anti-church publication in Volyn, “Bug,” claims that on March 31, representatives of the executive service came to the Assumption Cathedral of the UOC in Volodymyr.

Officials told the diocese that they must leave the shrine premises.

Orthodox Christians do not leave their temple, and therefore, according to “Bug,” a fine has already been imposed on the UOC diocese.

Propagandists threaten the UOC clergy with force if the diocese refuses to leave the shrine.

“Bug” echoes the rhetoric of the odious People’s Deputy Igor Huz , who constantly threatens Orthodox Christians with reprisals.

◾️On March 30, the last service was held in the ancient Pokrovsky Church of the UOC in Kropyvnytskyi.
Orthodox Christians, who had prayed in their shrine for decades, said goodbye.

A few days ago, local authorities decided to take away the House of God from the parishioners of the UOC and transfer it to OCU activists.
It's that simple, with one decision, the new Bolsheviks once again expropriated the shrine from those who raised it from the ruins. How much pain can one decision bring.

Finally, a prayer sounds within the walls of the temple, before the desolation that is being prepared for it.

In the UOC Boryspil diocese, the community of the of St. Martyr Panteleimon church in Vyshgorod sent next humanitarian aid to the Donetsk region.

The aid was collected by residents of the Austrian city of Lienz. Children from the church Sunday school helped load the shipment.

Toys, clothes, children's things, shoes, kitchen sets and medicines. All this is very important for families of refugees from the war zone, for people in need and the elderly - it is very important for survival during the war. Volunteer Denys Lukyanets, who received the shipment in the East, expressed his gratitude.

Earlier, on March 2, the community held a charity fair in support of a sick child and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

◾️The abbot of the UOC St. Paraskeva Church in Stari Broskivtsi village Father Vissarion, spoke about the raiding scheme of the OCU activists.

On March 2, a group of aggressive Epiphany's activists, led by the serial OCU raider Roman Hryshchuk, tried to falsify documents for the shrine.

Having learned about the planned meeting of activists, the church parishioners, who had time, gathered in the premises. Orthodox Christians waited for the activists for 1.5 hours.

The believers, without waiting for the raiders, held a meeting at which they unanimously confirmed their loyalty to the UOC.

Later OCU activists arrived and created real chaos.

“Unexpectedly, it happened that Tamara Synyushka came on stage and said that “we are holding a vote.”
Without a procedure, without any rules, with major violations. She simply came on stage and said: “Let’s vote! Who is in favor of the Peter and Paul Church… and Paraskeva Church joining the OCU?” That is, both church at once.”
There were 27-30 people (raiders who have no relation to the churches), from their community, which was recorded on video. The real parishioners of the churches were not even given the opportunity to vote.

The raiders reported a “unanimous decision.” Later, they announced the participation of a mythical 300 people.
After the falsification of the meeting, the raiders immediately sang the national anthem. Orthodox Christians refused to sing the anthem together with thieves and robbers.

The real parishes of the churches later held meetings of religious communities, at which they recorded their decision to remain within the UOC.

The event was attended by representatives of the SBU, the General Prosecutor's Office, the Holodomor Museum, the State Ethnopolitics Service, and the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (UCCRO).

From March 14 to 17, 2025, Kyiv National University named after Shevchenko hosted events under the title "Russia's Religious Policy as a Weapon of Hybrid Warfare: Implementation Directions and Counteraction Mechanisms," the university’s website reports.

The conference was organized by the Research Institute of Ukrainian Studies at KNU in partnership with the Office of the General Prosecutor, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the Department of Religious Studies of the Institute of Philosophy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the National Holodomor-Genocide Museum, with support from the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations, the State Service of Ukraine for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience, and several other institutions.
The conference program included four panel discussions:
-Legal challenges and strategies for counteracting Russia's religious policy in hybrid warfare;
-The ROC’s activities abroad: A network of churches as centers for spreading Russian propaganda and subversive operations;
-The ROC’s destructive activities and those of its affiliates in Ukraine: Non-Orthodox denominations in Russia following the ‘Russian World’ doctrine: Causes, motives, and consequences.

Speakers at the event included:
-Yaroslav Yurchyshyn (head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Freedom of Speech);
-Andriy Oleynyk (representative of the General Prosecutor's Office); -Eduard Lytvynenko (expert from the Kyiv National Institute for Strategic Studies, known for writing expert opinions in the UOJ case);
-Roman Fedinyshyn and Oksana Serbinenko (representatives of the SBU);
-Religious scholars Serhii Shumylo and Oleksandr Sashan;
-UGCC cleric O. Petriv, and others.
Reports indicate that these speakers "shared interesting cases regarding the subversive activities of the Russian Church, its concealed strategies of influence on specific communities with the aim of destabilization."

Participants claimed that "such cases are increasingly occurring in EU countries" and labeled UOC parishes in the diaspora as "destructive agents of the ROC both abroad and in Ukraine."

According to the organizers, the discussions should lead to practical steps in two strategic directions:
1. Improving legislation and procedural frameworks, ensuring public oversight over compliance with current laws and enforcement of court rulings.

2. Broad public awareness efforts about the destructive role of the ROC and systematically presenting evidence of its subversive activities to European partners and the public.

Archbishop Pimen emphasized that prayer should be heard in churches.

On the day of the celebration of the Synaxis of all the Kyiv-Pechersk Venerable Fathers, Archbishop Pimen of Rivne stated in his sermon that prayer should be heard in churches, and that state authorities should deal with the affairs of the state, not the Church.

"We pray and ask the Lord to grant us the light of truth. May the Lord open for us all the holy Lavra so that we may come there. God grant that there be a monastery and prayer in the monastery. God grant that there be state institutions in state institutions. May the Lord help them to rule rightly, as we prayed today, but may everything be in its place," said the Archbishop.

🇬🇧“THE CHURCH HAS ITS LAWS AND RULES.” METROPOLITAN ONUPHRY

🇺🇦«У ЦЕРКВІ Є СВОЇ ЗАКОНИ ТА ПРАВИЛА». МИТРОПОЛИТ ОНУФРІЙ

“The Church is a society of people who prepare themselves for eternal life in Heaven. No matter how beautiful or sorrowful earthly life is, it has an end. And the afterlife has no limits, it is eternal.

The Church has its laws and rules. Throughout its history, the devil has always fought with it in various ways.

The Orthodox Church teaches man to live correctly on earth. God tests our faith so that in this difficult test we can show our love for God and neighbor. These are the most important fruits that the Orthodox faith cultivates in man.

In this difficult time, we must support each other - to provide shelter, feed, or simply warm with a kind word. All problems that arise between people should be resolved not by weapons or force. God did not create us to attack and kill each other, but to live in love.

Therefore, we once again call on those on whom it depends to resolve all existing problems with the help of a reasonable word. May the Lord protect us and cover us with His Divine grace, the power of which no one can defeat, and grant us to become heirs of eternal blessed life in Christ Jesus our Lord!

🇬🇧Rector of Brovary cathedral shares details of the attempted seizure

🇺🇦Настоятель собору в Броварах розповів подробиці спроби захоплення

Since the beginning of 2025, literally during 2 months, 16 UOC churches in Bukovyna have become victims of the OCU raiders from.

The anti-church grant publication "Ukrinform" turned to the Department of Culture of the Chernivtsi OVA for statistics.

To the department in which, according to our information, there are no more state registrars left. After all, people did not want to be accomplices in crimes against Christians.

The OVA reported that 16 churches allegedly "decided to change their affiliation."

Officials added that they had already issued orders to re-register 13 parishes.

Among them there are 4 religious communities in Chernivtsi, 2 parishes in Hlyboka, parishes in Zastavna, Komarivtsi, Dubovoe, Malyatintsi, Dubivtsi, Ust-Putyl and Pidzakharichy.

Moreover, officials confirmed their complicity in the crimes of the Epiphany raiders, stating that “no one was denied re-registration.”

Let remind that earlier in the Chernivtsi OVA confirmed that they do not check the authenticity of the documents brought to them by the raiders from the OCU.

Each of the parishes listed by officials publicly announced that they did not transfer to the OCU structure.

In Chernivtsi, a crowd of activists, headed by the odious raider Hryshchuk, transferred 3 churches in one package.

Hryshchuk, his “flying raider squad” and his LGBT activist son were engaged in falsifying documents for almost every one of these churches.

Parishes in Pidzakharichy, Dubivtsi, Ust-Putyl and Hlyboka were forced to inform the US authorities about the raiders and Ukrainian officials lawlessness.
The next day, OCU raiders seized the UOC church in Komarivtsi.
