This week's plans are vast:
Monday - communication with the detention facilities and jails  administration. Coordination of mutual work.

Tuesday – Liturgy at the AIDS hospita Church in Kriva Balka, then a funeral.
On Wednesday - the shipment of equipment to the colony,

the preparing and sending of parcels around Ukraine to places of deprivation of liberty.
Thursday - Liturgy in the colony, then a concert.
Friday is the preparation for the presentation of the charity organization "Charity Fund" Odigitria ",

Six years ago, I held the first service in a penal colony (YUK 51) ...
... and I continue priest service here to this very day.
Now the religious service in a remand prison (SIZO) was added, as well as religious services in AIDS center (hospital, in-patient department), children's departments of the TB regional dispensary and the regional psychiatric clinic ... prisoners from Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Donetsk, Kiev, and other regions call me for help and advice.

Despite of the bad state of health, I have to complete the program:
tomorrow a remand prison and a military hospital, on Wednesday – a remand prison and AIDS center,
Thursday – prison colony 51, Friday - children's departments of the TB dispensary,
and a psychiatric clinic, and at the weekend - city hospitals.
Shortage of frankincence  and candles, and even of church wine Cahors ...,  icons are almost all distributed, same as next-to-skin crosses...
Household needs are also not covered.
...

Served today Liturgy in the military unit of the armed forces of Ukraine.
Love to all

The Liturgy was held  in the chapel of the Resurrection of Christ in the Odessa remand prison.
Prayed for Ukraine, for Odessa, for all of us, and for the prisoners - yes they will manage.
They remembered those who are no longer with us today, read the Gospel,
and received the Holy Mysteries of Christ.
Tomorrow Liturgy in the colony of the colony with a reinforced regime  regime.
Love to all.

I hand over the prisoners of the Odessa remand prison food, warm clothes, blankets,

and bed linen.

P.S. To everybody who are involved in Acts of Mercy - bow to the ground and the great gratitude !

Состоялась сегодня служба в Одесском СИЗО.
Собрал арестантов на завтрашнею Литургию.
Строится часовня на тюремном корпусе -
оплатили, и уже изготовили престол, купили материал, и отдали шить облачение.
Передал арестантам одежду и постельное бельё.
Завтра служба Божья -- Литургия в часовне Воскресения Христова.
Всем милосердия и веры.

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 -
