Metropolitan Vladimir (Sabodan)
Only the Lord, in whose hand the whole world and all human lives are held, has the authority and miraculous power to fully help a person.
The day of Pascha, the day of the Resurrection of Christ, is the “Feast of Feasts and the triumph of triumphs” because no other Christian feast has such great power and significance for our faith and our lives.
Let us now glorify the Queen of Heaven. Let us ask Her for Her motherly intercession and the blessings that She generously pours out on all who flock to Her...
With Christ’s Resurrection, the sacred truth rose on earth again and all falsehood was put to shame.
Prince Vladimir is complex historical personality. In him we can see ourselves today as in a mirror, with all the complexity of our own personalities, the fickleness of our behavior, with its spiritual rises and falls.
As we see from events in Ukraine since Patriarch Bartholomew created the “Orthodox Church in Ukraine” in 2018, against the plea here expressed by Metropolitan Vladimir and the fullness of the UOC, Metropolitan Vladimir was completely correct in his foresight.
We should think of God, time, and ourselves. Within this triangle lies our life with its essence and purpose.

Christ worked many miracles During the time of His earthly life, healing all manner of illnesses in people. In the Lord’s eyes a person is, first and foremost, God’s creation, a son or daughter of the Heavenly Father. Earthly parents forgive their bad children no matter what they’ve done, and the love of the Heavenly Father also forgives us disobedient children. The Lord gave us life and He has provided in abundance everything necessary for life. However, we do not appreciate this and do not respond to God’s great love even in the least.
