Original title: “What shall we do as we are perishing?”

(From the video [1], May 7 26, 2026 – Reading: 6 mins) 

Fr. James Manjackal:

«In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (+). Amen.

Praise the Lord.

Many people wrote to me after watching my video on seven years of suffering or seven years of disasters [2]. They frightened. They’re asking themselves:

Is it going to happen?

Is the world is going to end after seven years? etc.

And many, many questions and some people ask me:

“Father what you said is true already happening? War is there; price of things went up and scarcity of things… whatever you said is coming true now and it is going to increase… so what to do father?”

Here I say a few things to you:

Number 1: be strong in your faith and the expression of faith. Pray alone personal prayers; don’t make what do you call exception –do not; daily pray together, alone, then read the Holy Bible; know the Word of God…

And daily, if possible, go to the Holy Mass, and then family prayer –“family that prays together stays together”. True.

Number 2: And then I’m going to speak about, not big prayer groups. It’s good but I say small cells. I say for example: the Bishops together, or Priest together, or married people together, families together, youth together, or teenagers together, children together, small groups, not big groups – like Jesus had.

We know Jesus had two kinds of cells, prayer cells. One is [of] three; we know Peter, John and James; these three –for taking to the configuration – taken to Gethsemane to pray with Him at His great suffering and then told together. that’s a little bigger.

Of course, He was making program for the crowd as I do everywhere in my conventions Europe: Thousands of people come together. Good. That should be there to proclaim the name of Jesus so that many may come to Jesus.

But I’m saying now, after listening to my talk, you know that what we see today is not the real Church Jesus founded.

And God is seeking for people who worship Him in truth and space. That’s true. He’ll be gathering all those who belong to Him and then that kingdom will be given to God the Father.

Repeatedly in many videos I have said it. So to prepare for that: small prayer does it; maybe [groups of] three, maybe seven, maybe 12. Okay. Now, don’t stick to the number and then, together, praying without any mask, with an open heart; not hiding it. Maybe your problems, suffering, all that you [have], then pray for each other and pray for the group to get the power of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit shall come on you. You shall be filled with the power, so that is called prayer cells: maybe three families together or, maybe seven young people together or seven unmarried people together, or consecrated people; maybe 9 or 10 or 12; and then, real from heart: love, concern and then, help the poor.

Oh, like the first group, we can see the early Church was like that. Gathered together had the breaking of the bread. That means Eucharist and reading of the scriptures, [the] teaching of their Apostles and loving one another, and none of them were poor. They were sharing.

So, like kind of small groups. Maybe in that group there may be people who need a help then together help. Of course, outside also we are to help.

But I said this group should grow not in wealth but in the spirit.

So, I wish and pray that many of you will start this kind of group and these groups will be gathered together as Kingdom when all this persecution, all this happening persecution is going to increase; especially Christians will be persecuted much more, and we see the majority of the Christians will go after the external form of religion and denying the power within; this is already happening.

As Cardinal Ratzinger, who became Pope Benedict 16, who said:

“The priest will be merely social workers and interested in the worldly affairs but there’ll be a few and, people also will be going after those worldly things and they will be praying to Jesus for getting material things belonging that to world because of secularism.”

Now amidst all this happening, a few will be burning with the Holy Spirit, who [are] really believing in Christ, joining [themselves] and together in the Body of Christ, living according to God’s Will, which is holiness of life; that will be the real Church and this purification is happening now gathering together.

These people who are really authentic and nobody can defeat them. Very, only few, but they may not have a place to stay. Not big, big mansions, big, big houses, no seven-star, five-star style of life. That is coming to an end. That will be worldly.

But I say a few people, like a few people, poor people you see in the third world countries, how they live together, maybe on the street, maybe under small tent, fathers, mothers, children together praying, maybe the dog and cat; okay, I say that kind of.

I’m not saying that all should become poor. Don’t misunderstand me I said; but not people who are clinging to this world and worldly pleasures. Many Christians today are even praying to God for material wealth, material comfort.

So, we have to come out of that comfort zones and we have to put all our trust in Jesus and then look forward to the Kingdom that is to come, and that’s what we are praying: “Thy Kingdom come.”

So, my dear brothers and sisters this is my personal advice to all my spiritual children –firstly, mainly– is they who ask me how to face the present situation.

So, I am giving you personally this advice, if you are willing: do it. […]. Yes. Jesus never taught something impossible. All that is said by Jesus is possible with Him and through Him and in Him. So that Jesus be the center of your life; center of these small cells praying together as you pray together in a family. three families, friends together, something great and then, loving each other, also young people, and all this according the Commandments of God and also the values of life, values of morality, keeping all that but, in one-word, authentic Christian life.

Now what we see is not authentic: lot of masks; this must be broken. Yes, God will make it now. This what is happening now. Yes, with this war and so on. So many who are seeking the worldly comfort and comfort zone, are going broken.

The Lord wants only those who belong to Him, those who love Him, honor Him and keep the Commandments and love Him.

So, may such group be formed by you. This personally because I preached in more than 176 countries and many of you know me, and all of you are really my children.

So, it’s my duty. I’m already 80. It’s my duty to give some small piece of advice how to grow and remain in Christ, in the love of God. Everything will vanish. Only love will continue as we read in 1 Corinthians Chapter 13.

So, grow more in love and deep in love that is possible in this small groups. Jesus will be there with them taking care of them and they’ll be under the umbrella of His care and they’ll be secure.

That’s why I have formed all the different umbrellas. You know that umbrella for the married people, unmarried people, for the family etc., etc., at the internet through the distantly, uniting you; but that’s my love for you.

But this I say wherever you are, you may be in France, you may be in Poland, you may be in Germany, or maybe in Slovakia, or Czech Republic, wherever you are. So there, this kind of small cells, prayer groups should grow like, maybe three people praying.

I know, I know, some are doing it already; that’s why I’m encouraging you in all condition where I preach. I know there are big prayer groups with hundreds but small group cells. It’s already encouraged, very charismatic in the past also; so, form small cells. I know priests or nuns and their people, maybe three days fasting, giving the poor. I know how they are devoted to the Holy Eucharist and going hours before the Eucharist, kneeling down, sometime kneeling on a rough floor, maybe on stones, and offering that suffering with the Christ, and suffering with the Christ. I know some became more compromise.

So, in this kind of small group make no compromise with the sin and the world.

You are in the world but not of the world.

So, for that you’ll be helping each other by the power of the Holy Spirit.

So, I pray that such group be formed already, and prepare for the coming… what I called events, whatever maybe, I should say, I don’t say disaster but is actually shifting, good and bad it is happening. So, in that you must be on the side of the good, on the right side of Jesus.

And finally, after departing this world also we should be on His right. Okay, my children I love you. I give this small piece of advice. May you be able to grow like that in perfection according to God’s Will.

What is God’s will for you, my children?

Yes, holiness.

May God bless you.

Close your eyes… (Prayer by Father James Manjackal)

“Lord, I pray for my children that they may grow enthusiastically, fervently in God’s love through small prayer cells. Yes, not big numbers and big prayer groups. They are all good for proclamation, but it’s for the personal growth and personally attaching themselves to Jesus although they are in this world, not to belong to the world and thus to find the Kingdom here and to perceive in that Kingdom and even after departing from this world, they will be in that kingdom seeing God face to face I pray for them I bless them.”

My children I keep you all in the heart of Jesus and bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Hallelujah. God bless you».
