Сегодня в светлый праздник
Введения во храм Пресвятой Богородицы
состоялась Литургия в храме при СПИД центре.
Помолились с болящими, прочитали Евангелие,
и причастились Святых Христовых Тайн.
Кто смог прийти на службу - причастились в храме,
ну, а кто не смог - причастились прямо в больничных палатах.
Завтра служу в СИЗО.
Всем любви
It is hard to explain to the person who is treated as the cattle,
that he is a man,created
after the image and likeness of God
Today, I confessed the prisoners and prayed with them at the prison corps in the Odessa SIZO (remand center).
I was not allowed to bring them to the Prison Chapel,
so I had to serve in an empty and not repaired uninhabited prison chamber.
But I was informed by the prison Governor that in future prisoners can be allowed to Prison Chapel after he gets all the necessary approvals.
These approvals do not completely eliminate the urgent need
of an Orthodox Chapel in every prison building -
Today after the Liturgy in the Chapel in the Lermontovsky sanatorium,
I baptized and gave the Eucharist to two homeless persons in Troitskaya street hospital
.
I'm writing this not for the purpose of boasting,
but to give the opportunity to someone else to help them -
they need diapers, shaving machines, cups,
cookies for tea ... and something else, I forgot now - that, but I'll ask ...

At the moment I am preparing documents for Malinovsky Reg.Court tomorrow's hearing (sitting),
and one more set of documents for the sitting of the Primorsky Reg. Court on October 9.
Also it is necessary to make an addition to the contract of cooperation with the SIZO, and several more documents ...
Patience to all
Today,the God's Church Service in the convict colony took place.
We have revealed and fulfilled the Church in the fullness of its gifts,
composing the Eucharistic assembly, and offering a sacrifice of praise to the Savior.
Today we had a singer and a sexton who came from the prisoners,
and several members of the colony participated in the service along with the prisoners.
Joy and delight: great and wonderful are your works, My Lord!
To all the faith of God, and His holy love!
Today, on the bright holiday of the Resurrection of the True Cross,
the Liturgy took place in the Church of the Image Not-Made-By-Hands of our Lord Jesus Christ
at the AIDS Center in Kriva Balka.
Prayed for all of us, for the sick, also read the Gospel, and received Holy Communion of the Holy Mysteries ...
I kindly beg You to pray for the severely ill Feodora - a young woman who screams for the whole hospital for the third day, and
After the Liturgy, according to tradition,
on Bright Monday – the blessing ofprisoners’ cells, the preaching of the Gospel,
and communication with prisoners of the convict colony of intensive regime.
