The 30th Assembly of the Serbian Orthodox Youth of Montenegro was held in the Prevlaka monastery

The 30th Assembly of the Serbian Orthodox Youth of Montenegro was held in the Monastery of the Holy Archangels on the Miholjska pass near Tivat.

The holy archbishop's liturgy in this ancient sanctuary was served this morning by His Eminence the Archbishop of Cetinje, the Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral and the Exarch of the Holy Throne of Pec, Mr. Joannikius.

His Holiness the Bishop of Pakračko-Slavonia, Mr. Joavan and the elected Bishop of Dioclia Archimandrite Paisija with the clergy and clergy of several dioceses of the Serbian and Universal Church.

In the homily after the reading of the Gospel, Bishop Jovan said that the Lord had to come down to earth so that our names would be written in the heavens.

"And look, what He does on earth." Here today, dear brothers and sisters, as in the time between 1939 and 1945, the Lord has released Satan. Let's remember the millions and millions of people that that antichrist from Germany killed all over the world. When he started his campaign, he referred to that part of the Lord's Revelation where it is said: You dwell where Satan's throne is. And the throne of Satan in Pergamum was the throne on which human sacrifices were made, the one that was so terrible that it was called by the Lord the throne of Satan on earth. And that throne, who took it? The Germans took it and took it to Berlin. Pergamon translation - it is still in Berlin!. "But, not only that, but where they were preparing and gathering for the departure to the slaughterhouses of humanity, in Nuremberg, they built a huge stadium where they gathered according to the model of that satanic throne," he said.

He said that Hitler did not set out to conquer the world because he needed the land, but to destroy the sacred human race who were said to have been made temporarily lower than the angels.

"And that's why the sacrifice of the Russian people who stopped the antichrist was a sacrifice for the entire human race and creation." Not for Stalin, not for Marx, not for Engels, not for Lenin, but for God's creation, for what God has given to all mankind: to live, to breathe, to exist. All that should have been destroyed! And we, as much as we could, joined in that holy war," said Bishop Joavn.

He said that even today, as then, Satan is loosed.

"And last year, when we were standing here, brothers were being killed in Ukraine." And the year before last, when we were standing here, we were killing each other in Ukraine. There is not a war there only between people, there is not a war there only between Christians - there is a war between Orthodox Christians, and which Orthodox Christians! All those whom Prince Vladimir once baptized in Kherson. And there is breaking and beating around Kherson, and around Pechersk Lavra is breaking and beating. Around the shrines. surrounded by war where we, baptized in one bath, kill each other. There was no luck for those who look forward to anyone's death in Ukraine," Bishop Jovan said, among other things.

After the intercessory prayer, the blessed tears of the Slavonic gifts, and Metropolitan Ioannikije said after the dismissal that the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel, to whom the Holy Prevlačan Family is dedicated, lead the ranks and armies of angels in the heavens.

"When the Holy Archangel Gabriel announced to the Blessed Virgin Mary that she would give birth to the Savior of the world, she wondered before him how it would be, since she did not know of a husband. He told her what was going to happen, but he didn't say how it was going to be. He only said what he received, a command from God to say: The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. And you will conceive a son and you will name him Jesus, which means Savior. And how it happened - it remains hidden even from the angelic, let alone from the human mind. It is the secret of secrets," said Metropolitan Ioannikije.

He added that the Holy Archangels constantly glorify God in the heavens and sing the Triholy Song

"Of course, it's not one and the same song, but many hymns, but it was revealed to us that they sing that song Svjat! World! Holy Lord of hosts! Heaven and earth glorify Yours... They glorify the name of God, glorify His majesty and His creation and His wisdom in all visible and invisible spaces. They, standing before the throne of God, are filled, through their holy service, with the light of God. God's truth, God's love. This is their life, this is their service," he said and added that it is also the service of the Holy Archangels and angels to come down to this world and guide people to salvation, to direct them to good and to prevent them from all evil, protecting always their freedom.

He explained that if a person has a good intention to do something good for the glory of God, the heavenly angels are with him.
