Ukrainian boxer Vasily Lomachenko, who ended 2022 with a scandal because of a video with an anti-Ukrainian speech by a representative of the UPL of the Moscow Patriarchate, began the new year by publishing another part of Metropolitan Longin’s sermon.
In addition, Lomachenko added the following in the text of the Instagram post:
“It is not in vain that Christ the Lord says in the Gospel: “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” Everyone has ears, but not everyone has ears to hear. To hear through the ears means to have the ears of the soul open. The ears of the body are of no use to us when the ears of the soul are closed. The body has its deafness when its ears are closed. So the soul has its deafness when its hearing is closed.
