The monk of the Lavra told why the monks refuse to go to the OCU

Archimandrite Anthony, a settler of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, told why the monks refuse to transfer to the OCU. This was reported by the Telegram channel of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

“This situation reminds me of the gospel story when Christ fasted for 40 days in the wilderness. And Satan approached him, began to tempt him with either power or bread. Christ did not succumb,” said the clergyman.

Also, according to him, the brethren of the monastery, headed by the governor, will always be faithful to their Primate, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufry.

“And I want to recall one more gospel words that sound in the Gospel that “beware of the wolves that come in sheep’s clothing, because they will plunder the herd, and the herd will perish,” Archimandrite Anthony noted.
