About the carved image ( icon ) and the sign of the cross
Basil , Gregory and John , You are the God of the living ones ! The man on earth does not speak with the dead when he speaks with Your saints , asking them for help in his sufferance and in his trials of life on earth . All of Your saints are alive , just as Abraham , Isaac and Jacob are very much alive , and there would not be any other happiness on earth for man as then when he speaks with You and with Your saints . You are the living One and so are Your saints , who have taken their life from You . You , Lord , are so mysterious and so great within Your saints ! You , Lord , are the power of Your fulfilling word , but the ruler of this age , satan , has blinded the man so much , and soon , soon , he will come to an end with his pursuit after men ’ s souls because of the spirit of envy in which he fell in the beginning when he fell from heaven through man , for the man built by Your hand became haughty at the beginning in such a way that he could not listen to You as You commanded him to obey , and by his disobedience the man fell from heaven and then the angel who served the man near him also fell , and once with him fell all his manserving host , and since then he has been feeding with the spirit of envy against You , Lord , and since then he has been trying to draw the people to him and always to make his kingdom and with it to make war against you , but behold , You have armies of saints , and the prophets of all time have been Your dwelling places from where You have always , always spoken the word of Your victory against Your enemy , satan , to make him humble and to pull the man out of his dominion , out of his darkness , as You spoke to him two thousand years ago , a prophetic word through John , Your beloved one . Behold , we speak the word of teaching from near You over the faithful ones and over those who are not faithful on earth and we are Your witnesses , for Your testimony , Lord , is the spirit of prophecy , the spirit by which You worked and work over the earth . Amen .
Oh , we are speaking to you , faithful people , and the son of God ’ s word . Oh , set down to great watch , for you have to lift up a holy and strong prayer for all the sons of men so that the Lord may turn them to repentance to the forgiveness of their sins and to their illumination with the light from above , the light of the resurrection from the death of their sins , for sin is death upon man . Oh , strive , son , strive to a lively prayer , for you have to overcome with the Lord and with His saints satan ’ s deceitful work , which works mysteriously to draw the people after him , for behold , he and his servants work hard to seal the people with his seal , but the Lord has always spoken over this nation to wake up and watch for the Lord ’ s coming and for the coming of antichrist , and then for this nation to remain with the Lord and to listen to His voice of Shepherd . Amen .
We , the three bishops celebrated today within a synod of saints , leave a threefold blessing upon you , people with a new name of New Jerusalem on earth among people . We leave upon you the seal of the living God , and we put a mark upon you in a mysterious way in the name of the Father , the Son and the Holy Spirit the Comforter , for we are chosen by the Lord
