Here in the watery monastery of Agia Marina, in the cave in the very house of Agia
Marina, just two days before her feast, at this moment, we will share a shocking but truly miraculous event of Agia Marina that must reach everywhere. We must reach everywhere so that the grace of this saint can be heard everywhere. Protector of all children. The saint who also drives away the evil eye and every obstacle that comes into our lives. But a friend with this miracle experienced by friend Andreas will shock you all. Friend Andreas was 6 years old. Andreas Vassiliou, whose name was already from Limassol, was suffering from leukemia and a golden kidney transplant, and a suitable, compatible donor had to be found for the transplant within a short period of just four weeks. The family of Vasos Vassiliou's father was in a very difficult position, and the transplant was found quickly. The child was in the hands of top scientists in America to undergo the very delicate and serious Hermic operation. But before they go to America the family called the Abbot of Sierra Monis here from Agia Marina Andros where we are Father Kyprianos to ask him to pray for Andrea and completely spontaneously the abbot hold this Father Kyprianos said he will pray to the Saint and told them not to worry it will be Saint Marina herself in the operating room so let's keep it just before the surgery begins at Anderson's hospital Houston, Texas in the United States a woman presented herself there to the leading American doctor who was of Chinese descent and presented herself as the personal doctor of little Andreas and even asked to watch the operation with great insistence. The doctor said that it is not normally allowed and that this is basically how the hospital rules. But this woman persisted so much that she was finally allowed to simply leave her details there at the entrance. Finally, the unknown doctor entered the operating room and not only watched the operation, but also actively participated in the little man's life. Her knowledge of medicine seemed to be very high, and surprisingly, the group accepted a doctor from Greece, as she had said. Although it is permanent, as we said, it is the hospital's policy not to allow others to participate for three straight operations . In the end, thanks to her suggestions, the operation went very well, and Dr. Elidi stayed in the operating room for a while and then suddenly left without anyone understanding how. American doctors are excited by the hints of this woman's mystery. After the end of the operation, they ended up meeting her and went to the Vassiliou family and told them that it was of capital importance for them to meet the top doctor they had already brought from Greece or Cyprus. And the doctor even said specifically. But I can't understand how you had such a doctor for your child. You came to us here in America. Her parents told her that I had not brought any doctor with them, and then the hospital was turned upside down to find a foreign doctor. They then went to the secretariat, where she had signed with her name, and there My friends see Marina from Andra written. The parents, of course, fell to the floor in tears. All the doctors were stunned for a long time, realizing that their surgeon was a woman in the flesh, but from the past. An orthodox saint who had died a disciple's death for the faith of our Lord many centuries ago . And my friends, this saint is now here in front of us, and we are in her own house in Anthro here, where she herself said That's right, this is my house, Saint Marina of Andros. What can one say after This, after this testimony, the confession of faith, what can we say Miracles do not happen in our days; miracles happen, and there is faith. With our help, we will all honor this huge saint whose feast day arrives on Thursday, Wednesday, and in the chapel of Saint Ephraim and Saint Dapadius on the second floor behind Saint George. There will also be a battle of the holy relics of this saint from 9:00 in the morning until 8:00 in the evening continuous schedule for the convenience of all friends from every parent of Keprapolemos Patho Larnaca Eleftheri Variamo Kosto from Nicosia from everywhere And you will give all friends and apologia oil and sanctification here from her own home in Andron
Where does a story like this rest on what this spiritual
world looks like? He was a
young man for many years, a very good man, and he reached his last days and was dying, and his soul did not come out.
He was struggling, he was tortured, and he started seeing demons who told him We will take you with
us to hell. With kids, everyone knows he's going to
hell, but he's so selfish, he doesn't apologize.
If he apologized, Christ would forgive him.
They laugh, he says, and tell me they will take me to hell, you called his spiritual. The
spiritual sage knew him to be a good
man. He was confessing and taking communion. I'm telling you what's happening now because his soul
is being tortured, so he was in the hospital.
Well, another spiritualist passed by. It's not a coincidence; nothing is a coincidence. So
nothing is accidental. Well, he saw the priest there, the sad one.
He says to him, "Father, why are you so upset?" He says, "What can I tell you, he says, to have this eye on the man over here and his soul does not come out."
He says, "Let's go see." Eh, he goes inside, he says, "What do you see?", he says,
"I see the demons; they are next to me. Eh, they are laughing and threatening me and telling me
they will take me to hell with them. They are also reading a paper, he says. I have a
paper pinned to my back, and they are telling me that because of this paper, they will
take me to hell. He says to him An angel, you don't see, he says I see, but the angels are gone, as the spiritual world seems.
Eh, "You can tell the angels
to read this paper that you have on your back,
" he
muttered. "Yes, it says to me, 'I
have committed an old sin
And I am told that I will be taken to hell.
'"
You are ashamed to say them first
, but they don't forget them,
So the priest says to the others
"Go out and
confess the sin."
A very great change,
amid the sweat
He became calm, quiet,
He says to him Now what do you see, he says to him The
capacitative wish, he reads the capacitative wish to him,
He says, growling, very angry
because I confessed the
sin
The devil knows that every time we commit
a
sin, he takes it as his own.
And because he knows that the devil is
, he goes
and says, "Look,
This one is mine.
" He can go to Christ, because that's what happened to him.
The angels are gone.
They came to me
and said, "You know what this sin is on my
back
. "
The spiritual is loaded, and the Spirit is
now given to give God about this man and this sin. So it's not
a psychological discussion when we go to confess. Nor let's say
our suffering is that some go to say their illnesses. Some say
nothing. They say go read a wish to socialize. This is not
a migraine. So it's nothing, I have nothing. He says every day. What will be
so much so, should this be done right, to cut off the devil's rights? Otherwise, we do nothing.
So this is how we understand from this all what the spiritual
world looks like. As we said last time, when the soul of man comes out.
So now we need the weapons, the spiritual weapons, to defeat the
devil. Because essentially this is our enemy, and what we call the paths
and habits that we have inside us have demons behind us that
preceded us. Of course, it's our fault too because we accept them.
But when you fight the devil, you slowly overcome the bad
habits. How do you fight the devil with the mysteries? So, mainly by
confessing your rights, with repentance, with tears,
with violence to yourself, little by little, you overcome the bad habit. Because
it is not enough to confess. Nice. You go to confession. Some
even go with a lot of papers, so pages upon pages of detail, and
so on. Yes. But after everything you said, you decided to stop, and
that's the important thing. You did well to say it. Not because
you shouldn't say them, but you should be careful and then not do them again.
And that's the hard part. Well, the guilt went away when
the spiritualist read you the forgiving wish, but the habit doesn't go away. The bad habit.
You see a person who smokes has a bad habit. The vicar may
confess it, he repeats it, but the habit is not easy to
overcome, and he is tormented and wants to rape himself. As we said, the
queen is rushing him. You can go to the beach and swim. If you want to
conquer heaven, well, you will be tortured because you are not allowed to
have passions over there. You see these passions, the bad habits that are; these
are what take us to hell. Because these are the ones who will torture us with
death. Because with death, you cannot satisfy your passions. If you don't get them
out of this life, whatever it is, any bad habit.
Then you won't be able to satisfy it, and these
Passions will work like hell.
So we need the weapons to fight our enemies, the
demons, and to become as God wants
us to be, fit for the kingdom of God. That is why the apostle says Put on the
armor of God. God gives us armor.
To the power of us, what is to the devil's methods
so that we can resist the methods. Well, the devil has
methods. In other words, he has cunning; he has cunning methods to defeat us.
He also does his tricks, as we say, his strategies.
What does it do? Let me give you an example. It can give you a
dream. Many believe in dreams and that they
seduce you through a dream. You know, last night I saw my mother, let's say she
died. So I will die too, let's say I saw
my uncle dead, and so on. And all this is nothing like that
because the devil does not know the future. Most dreams are about this future.
It is from the devil. The devil just wants to trouble us.
It always has us in confusion, in a mess.
Or he may show you your mother-in-law casting magic on you, let's say, in
your dream, and you say, Look, I saw her now.
Well, even if you hate her and dislike her, let's say, because you had a
bad dream that it was from the devil. What else does man suffer, let alone
those who go to the magicians? That's how battles work. You know why they are
servants of the devil. Once you get over there, all the wizards will tell you the same
thing. You know what all wizards say they've all cast spells on you now. That's
what everyone says. Well then, they tell you you know who has done magic. It is close to you. He's there, he's like that, and he gives you negative
feelings about your neighbor, your mother-in-law, your brother,
your wife. He can put you with your husband. Let's say what makes
your wife a witch. Or your husband or your mother-in-law, usually your mother-in-law.
Well, yes. And then there's that daughter-
in-law syndrome, you know, that they can never reconcile. Well, they are the
methods of this devil, and he has many methods. Well, how will
we resist if we wear this armor? He says.
That is, if you don't have armor, think of a soldier, let's say, who goes to the front
line where cannons are falling, the enemy hits there, let's say he goes without
a weapon, without cover, without anything, they won't eat him. Yes.
