What is the most important thing in the life of an Orthodox Christian? Christianity has the most. These two are beautiful and bring radical thoughts about the establishment of Christianity before Holy Communion, depriving us of St. Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain. Kozhen can create for himself

“Father, nothing has been lost that we could have asked from our Savior, and, having given up, they said with Pilip: “Lord, there is enough for us!” (In.14: 8). If we are looking for something beautiful for our life, then He will tell us: “This Sacrament, which I have given you, is a replenishment of all blessings, and there is nothing more in Me, no less. I have given you all the good things from this Bread and from this Wine.” ("Establish the Venerable Nicodemus of Svyatohirts")

How marvelous and marvelous is the thought of the holy Athonite ascetic! As a believer, he broadly and wholeheartedly accepts these words, his desire for all the blessings and honors of this world to change radically. Moreover, I believe that faith in the truth of this thought of St. Nicodemus can give a Christian freedom from everything that goes wrong and superficial (as it is, of course, not possible). As a person does not have a family, children, work, or a marriage, there is no drive for evil, and there is also the possibility of receiving within himself the precious Blood of our Savior. Shelter, drops Which do not protect the whole Universe.

The sense of Christian life is union with God. On earth, this connection is closely established through the Holy Communion of the Body and Blood of Christ. If a person who calls himself a Christian believes that in his life there can be anything greater than the participation of the Body and Blood of the Lord, then there is no harm in the Orthodox view. As a Christian of conversions, who has nothing important or meaningful in earthly life, except the union with Christ at the Sacrament of Holy Communion, then it is not necessary to approach the Chalice with such a buttery one. most amazing. Whoever firmly affirms this truth in words, I hesitate to take communion more often.

There are no saints who would feel the need for frequent Communion. However, in unison, there is no need to talk about anything else. “This is the thought of all the saints that there is no peace without communion and no success in life without frequent communion,” wrote St. Theophan the Recluse. And Saint Ignatius (Brianchaninov) realized that the chant “Give us this day our daily bread” places on Christians spending today the obligation of sacrificial communion to the Holy Mysteries. There is no need to overprotect all the holy readers of the Church who were called upon to regularly participate in the main Sacrament. One can also pay tribute to the profound work of St. Nicodemus the Holy Mountain and St. Macarius of Corinth, “On the Intangible Communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ,” in which, based on the Holy Letter and the Holy Transmission, which the saints testify to the 14th list of opponents, th communion. The Canons of the Church also call before communion during the Skin Liturgy. The ninth canon of the Holy Apostles dictates that a layman must attend the Liturgy rather than receive communion. And another rule of the Antioch Council also speaks about the excommunication from the Church of those who were at the Liturgy and did not want to receive communion. The Tlumachian rule, Zonara emphasizes, is that prohibition is imposed on the one who does not partake of anything out of reverence and humble wisdom. And this is easy to understand. About how humility can be said, as at the Divine Liturgy Christ, through the lips of the priest, speaks to all the faithful: “Come and go,” “Drink from Her, all of you,” and the faithful cross themselves and bow, but in the empty words of the Lord, go take communion, heaven and Christ for all without going crazy before them? St. John Chrysostom read: “As you are unworthy of communion, you are also unworthy of participation (in the liturgy of the faithful, and that means in prayers)… …As if someone, being called to the banquet, showed up at this time, appeared and already began before the meal , and if you then didn’t take her part, then - tell me - without showing you who clicked?” Such terrible words seem to Saint Chrysostom to those who do not dare to approach the Holy Chalice! Of course, there is no need to worry about those who are under penance, women of uncleanness and those who come to the Liturgy, pass through the temple and are not ready to take part in the Divine service.

One hundred percent of the Divine Liturgy and Holy Communion test the Christian’s trust in God. If we believe that in the Blood of Christ there is everything that we need, then the Divine Eucharist will become for a Christian the center of his life, from which there are exchanges that sanctify all his activities. If you are of little faith, you will not be pleased and try to convey that if you take part in the Liturgy today, you simply will not achieve anything. Saint Feofan Recluse Vidpovydav (ale, in rudeness, cos, the relevant for the laity, yaki may be able to boti on the liurgi) on Tsvyvannya: “High do not neutwent you, Peresha, Pillet-lower the divine service, according finish Remember that robots are not prosperous if the blessing of God is not on them, but the blessed need to be received and recalled from heaven... What and where? - And the day passes in vain. Neither social nor missionary activity can be important in addition to the Eucharistic life. And even without sanctifying your souls at the Liturgy and without joining together More often than not, with Christ at the Holy Communion, a Christian will not have the strength to regularly help the needy. The mission is the same: partaking and being in the presence of Christ, the missionary brings Him to people. By placing Holy Communion at the Holy Place, the Christian accepts God's blessing for all his other services. At the Eucharistic Chalice with By the Body and Blood of the present Kings of Kings. And where is the king, there is his kingdom. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things will be given to you” (Matt. 6: 33)

And the other words of St. Nicodemus, which sound like a low thought: “Our Lord wants one thing: to unite with your damned soul, but you don’t want to unite with Him - everything that will overturn the Good? The Creator shows such a hot fire, and gunpowder shows such coldness? The Lord deigns to live with you and create for you His home, but you, incredible creature, open the door before Him and don’t want to let Him in? You, showing such carelessness, become similar to those Jews who, in the desert, wanted the Egyptian tsibula and chasnik, like carnal feasts. What else can God do to overcome your inhumanity?” . The Lord wants to unite with us! This thought makes me want to look at the food about communion from the other side. Since we are children of God, it is our responsibility to please our Heavenly Father. Since He wants us to join Him at the Sacrament, why should we stop working to avoid running to the Chalice? Of course, the thorough God wants to be with us steadily, and not just a week. Therefore, He holds His Divine meal for us every day. This is the thought of Saint Nicodemus, as an additional motivation against people’s laziness and coldness: if you don’t want to go and receive communion through heaven, then guess what God wants to connect with you and go (primarily, having prepared in advance), so that it will come and Youmu.

These two are so beautiful, and they bring radical thoughts about the establishment of Christianity before Holy Communion, depriving us of St. Nicodemus the Holy Mountain. Kozhen can create a masterpiece for himself: and believe in these words of the Athonite saint. Aje, if we trust these words, the stench of goiters bothers us a lot.

Plenty of food - what is the sense of life in Christianity? Try to know how nutrition helps you feel calm. Religion helps every believer to know the path to a happy life. Undoubtedly, it is nourishing philosophical, but a clear testimony on this will help to know faith and prayer to God. We will brighten up the religious belief in the metastasis of the soul by exchanging light and walking towards calm and harmony in everything. Let's embrace the three world religions and try to convert - which is the sense of human life.

Christian understanding of the sense of life

Many holy fathers, in their sermons and rites, pay special respect to the nourishing desire of the true life's path and to himself. People began to think about the eternal and the headache already in the distant past. Guess the legend about King Sisyphus, who is said to always drive a stone to the top of the highest mountain. Reaching the peaks, the king again stood up from the bottom and began to descend into the depths. This myth is the most beautiful example of the stupidity of the human butt.

Mysteries about the real sense buttya

Philosopher Albert Camus, who spoke about the sense of life in Christianity, condensed the image of Sisyphus into the image of a human being - his companion. The main idea of ​​the philosopher was in the present - the life of the skin's essence, surrounded by the framework of the butt, which suggests the Sisyphean practice, is in line with the absurdity of those empty parts.

It's important! Often a person, who has reached an important age, remembers his life and mind - he had a lot of awkward ideas that turned into a never-ending list of heartless fillings and days. So that the earth does not guess the Sisyphean work, it is important to know the meaning of life, to clearly pave the way - your own, united path to harmony and happiness.

Unfortunately, too many people live in an illusory world, pursuing pseudo-goals. However, it is impossible to know the true meaning of a Christian’s life in the light of specifics and realities. The best way to confirm this idea is through the exact science of mathematics. The number divided by infinity is equal to zero. It’s not surprising that if you try people who are far away from the world, they will seem naive to explain the sense.

Great creators and philosophers understand the inconsistency of the earthly struggle. Blaise Pascal realized just two years before his death that science is nothing more than a robot, a craft, and the true sense of Christian life is rooted in religion. On my reading lists I often muttered richly about sense buttya. He wrote that people can only truly be happy if they realize that God is. The true good is to love Yogo and stay in New, but the great misfortune is to be separated from Him and to be left in darkness. The modern religion clearly and clearly explains to people the reason why they trust God’s greatest good. True faith tells us how to know the necessary strength, so that in the face of powerful mercies, how to accept God, know for yourself.

Great doctrine of Orthodoxy

As of today, the situation has not changed fundamentally. A deeply moral person, having reached great heights and results, clearly understands - this is not a matter of justice, not a meta. Great people have constant, meaningful, and meaningful feelings. Let's paint the butt of the life of Academician Korolyov. In addition to the largest space program, we understand that the sensation is in the turmoil of the soul, that it is directly far beyond the boundaries of the earthly butt. At that time, Orthodoxy and faith experienced serious persecution, but then Korolyov became a mentor, offering forgiveness and sacrificing great sums for charity.

The maid of Silouan wrote about this wondrous person, who worked at the hotel at the monastery. In her accounts, she describes Korolov as a representative man of a fur-haired kurt. We were aware of the fact that the academician, having lived for several days at the hotel at the temple, was deeply amazed at the poverty and misery. His heart burst at the sight of the sick, and the Kings wanted to help the monastery. The academician complained that he had few pennies on him, but forgot the address and phone number, asking the blueberry to come to Moscow without fail. Chernitsa gave the Korolev the address of the priest, who, having stumbled into a difficult situation, asked for as much help as possible. About an hour later Silouana arrived in Moscow and picked up Korolyov. On this day, the man is alive in a luxurious mansion, very happy, having soaked in blueberries, asking the guest. There were icons near Korolyov’s office, and on the table lay an open book of the Philokalia. The academician donated 5 thousand carbovants to the monastery. Before the speech, the priest became Korolyov’s mentor and good friend, to whom the monk gave the address and asked for help.

It's important! For the King's beast, religion was only a short episode, but the academician learned the sense of Christian life. The veneration is alive to the Orthodox, having renounced his lofty station, having read the hour of reading the works of the holy fathers.

Pushkin about the Gospel

Great singers destroyed their creativity in the eternal diet of sensational people and buttya. At the beginning of the 19th century, Oleksandr Sergeyovich Pushkin wrote the poem “Three Keys”, declaring endlessly the turmoil of the soul. At that time, the poets were only 28 years old, but they still wanted to become aware of the existence of living things on earth and their people. And 3 months before the tragic death of Pushkin, write about the Gospel - a single book, where the skin’s word is illuminated. He sings, saying that only this great book is stagnant to whatever circumstances and conditions in life, its redness will smell and have eternal beauty.

The answer to nutrition - what can you do to change your life? A more precise understanding of the Holy Gospel. It says here - life is more important for the hedgehog, and more important for the Sabbath. Apparently, before the Gospel, Jesus died for everyone, resurrected, and became the Ruler of life. The right sense butt lies with Jesus, and the right side is happy and light. The Gospel says that a true believer is always resurrected after death.

It's important! The entry into eternal life begins with the earth, through the church. If a person could not step on the feet of holiness, but lives her life spiritually honestly, she knows about the sense of her butt. Whom is helped by prayer, which is to pray to God and pray for him. One of the most powerful is Mikoli’s prayer to the Wonderworker, who changes people and opens the path to eternal life.

Sense of life in Buddhism

Buddhist practice recognizes that the invisible part of a person’s life is suffering, and the most important thing is to recognize this suffering. Buddhism adds a specific sense to the word “suffering” – the struggle to give up material wealth, the suffering that people who have not reached the nirvan suffer. Suffering can be overcome in one way - by reaching a special state - enlightenment and nirvana. Where a person seems to be losing his or her worries, it is obvious that suffering will be reduced.

The meta-butya in Buddhism of the ancient tradition is awareness of the special knowledge that I will achieve when a person is freed from all earthly banalities and accepts butta from the celestial meaning of the word.

Whenever we talk about Buddhism from ancient tradition, the main goals are re-examined here. Human beings cannot reach peace, and the living essence cannot reach enlightenment.

It's important! Nirvana can be achieved not only through practice, but also as a result of a sinless, righteous life.

Sense of life in Islam

The sense of life in Islam conveys special conflicts between God and people. The main goal of followers of Islam is submission to God, entrusting themselves to Yoma. The very followers of this religion are called followers. The Koran has words about the fact that God created mankind not for a specific purpose for God, but for the worship of Yom. The worshiper herself has the greatest value.

Obviously, to the basic Islamic dogmas, Allah is supreme, He is merciful and merciful. All believers are obliged to please Allah, speed up and reconcile. Under which all people stand for the rulership, which the Lord will give at the Great Judgment. After the Judgment, the righteous will end up in Paradise, and sinners will face eternal punishment in Hell.

Holy Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia

Word of the Holy Patriarch Kiril on Great Wednesday at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, April 11, 2012

In the Name of the Father and the Son of the Holy Spirit.

Today, on Great Wednesday, we can imagine what is of great significance for a Christian’s understanding of what what is most important, most important in the Christian way of living, in the way of life of a believer, which contradicts another way of living - the way of living of people who do not know God, do not recognize God and do not have a common bond with Him.

What happened in the house of Simon the leper (Mt. 26:6-16), when the woman, the harlot, poured out myrrh on the Savior and destroyed the whole family, destroying the feeling of anger, hatred in the soul of Judas, that is what we are in for. In truth, the woman gave away, singsong, all her pennies and all that was small to buy this expensive land with which kings were anointed in ancient times. There was truly great material value, and, hanging on the head and body of the Savior and the world, she dedicated everything and everything that was small to the Lord.

Here, every day’s peculiarities cannot be destroyed - there is such a deep idea, such a vision, which, of course, that woman could not have formulated and conveyed to us. Ale mi, having thought about these things, we can clearly understand what kind of light it is and what kind of way of life that makes sinners righteous. At the center of this way of living is the willingness and ability of people to sacrifice themselves, to those who are dear, to those that are dear to me, in the name of God.

How Godly this way of living seems to people who do not know God and do not recognize Him! Yuda, who was the Savior, who was one of Yogo’s disciples, would adopt these thoughts and this way of living, even learning about the Savior, knowing about the sufferings of the future, because the Lord spoke more than once about those who would die if He died. yatim. . You cannot help but remember these words - always remembering before you the One who gives His life in the name of God's truth. And what? Without destroying this butt and this word of Yuda. And the sinful woman, who melodiously disdained the rich and did not feel the words that Yuda felt, who was not as close to the Savior as Yuda was close, saw in her heart the need to turn to the Sufferer who was going to death at the end of the sins of the human race, everything is too small.

Where it is stormed, and this storm is recorded in the Gospel according to Ivan. Himself, and not just any of the apostles, it seems: “Is this a waste of money? It couldn’t have been better to sell this expensive myrrh.”, - And then, as if he had become embarrassed, he adds: “And distribute to the foals”. Yuda wasn’t thinking about foals, as the Evangelist said, but he was saying that because he was a villain. Wearing the screen itself, it was the pennies of all the apostles - the skins from them were not drained of their special treasures, but brought into the underground treasury everything that was washed, and it was necessary to remove them from the skin. So, Yuda herself became the guardian of this box and launched her sinful hand from him, otherwise he would not have called his evangelist a villain.

From the look of Yuda, the wife’s daughters are God’s God, even though they need not to give money to anyone, but to brothers, and, if necessary, then not only justly brothers for their work, as God has blessed, because it’s a difficult year for everyone, and they are stealing along an unrighteous path. , depicting the fact that it brings suffering to other people. What about the casualties? Whether someone else suffers or not, it would be good for me. That way of living and the way of thinking that Judas shared, being a godless way of living and a godless way of thinking, in which there is no God, no fear of God, no high ideal - at its center is man himself, for which there is opportunity. any ways to please the powerful sinners Bazhanya.

And we know how it is the godless way of living has often appeared in bright clothes. Sometimes, calling the Church, it seems: what is the future of mother churches with golden baths? A message for the mother's robe to the clergy, who is waiting for the throne of God? Perhaps it would be better to sell everything and distribute it to the foals? It’s not about foals that these people are talking - they’re talking about themselves, because the unbelieving people cannot understand the one who believes in God, who dedicates himself to God through service to his neighbor. Even a harlot poured costly ointment upon her neighbor, and she served her neighbor, singing to God in His sufferings and sorrows, and in this manner she served God. If we serve God, we will always have the strength to serve our neighbors, we have an understanding that we should conduct our lives in such a way as to share our resources, our abilities, both material, intellectual and spiritual, with other people. This very way of living is blessed by God, and to that the skin of a person calls out to the point of giving, more than one brother: “It is more blessed to give, it is more blessed to receive”(Acts 20:35).

Today we remember the work of the woman who shed peace on the head of the Savior, and about the hero Juda, who was not just overwhelmed, observing this feat, but at that moment he himself sang and gave joy to the Savior. The speculations about these ideas give us clear indications about those who are hostile to God’s light and, in the form of a religious way of living, cause the support of God and the fight against Him. At this moment, Judas himself became a prisoner, when his light-gazing and light-taking were met with a different look at life and a different way of living, burning with terrible hatred, which could no longer be replaced by anything. And, as we know, through this path of hatred and opposition to the Lord until the end, which led to His torment and death.

It’s unusual for the Lord to say: even if the Gospel were not preached, the whole world would know about what this woman has done great butt servant of God, yak great and holy butt of sacrifice And the desire to give to your neighbors, which is considered in God’s eyes as the greatest service of worship, as a sacrifice to God. I everyone calls us today According to the Gospels, such service to God through service to one’s neighbor is the only way to restore our souls and transform more light. Amen.

Professor Oleksiy Illich Osipov

The problem of sensu life.

The problem of the sense of life is not the problem of the desired ideal or truth.

These meanings indicate the meta, directly the nature of the entire activity. However, the highest nutrition itself, as they say in essence, is determined by the existential-special attitude of a person: freedom, spiritual and moral status.

In the historical arena, three main forces lay claim to the ultimate nutrition: religion, philosophy and science. Briefly, their types could be defined in this way.

A religion that respects such a complete system of belief, where the ideas of God and eternal life are central, is to create the sense of living in oneness with God.

Philosophy, matured - in rational truths.

Science is to the maximum knowledgeable world.

Of course, these skin findings are subject to wide interpretation.

Why is the Orthodox diet so special?

It is important to gain the sense of life from eternal life in Bose, which is also called the salvation. This means, first of all, a reconsideration of the fact that God is, and that God is not only the Lord, but also the Gods themselves, in which the greatest possible good of all things is possible, a full-fledged understanding of the Truth and knowledge of the creative world is possible. It’s in this essence. In another way, it conveys the understanding that a good (earthly) life is not a self-sufficient value, but a necessary intelligence, which takes the form of but speciality for the achievement of a complete life in Boz. The Christian witness to this is an anti-natural atheistic cry: “Believe, human being, eternal death is upon you!” - the fragments in no one are lost for the sense of the most important thing - life, in which only a place can be made.

The essence of the Christian faith can be summed up in two words: “CHRIST IS RISEN!” - they contain all the endless and, at the same time, very concrete perspective of life. This place is likened to Christ and united with Him, otherwise - deification, theosis. What does this mean? To put it briefly, this is the thoroughness of kenotic (Greek - self-deprecation, sacrificial humility) love, which becomes the very essence of God, because “God is love, and the one who is in love is in God and God is in the new” (16 ).

The Apostle Paul writes more eloquently about this camp with his messenger to the Galatians, when the fruits of God are overflowing among people. Vin characterizes him as love, joy, peace, patience, mercy, kindness, mortality (). In another message, he describes this state in these words: “Without opening the eyes, nor the sense of the ear, nor did it come to the heart of man that God prepared for him to love Him” (9).

The apostle, as a matter of fact, writes about those people who have been spiritually cleansed, healed from addictions, who are spiritually healthy, who are in deep joy, love and the light of the soul - speaking in my daily life - in happiness, but not in the short term, in the fall, in happiness due to the fact of nerves and the psyche, and the power of the soul of the “new” people, and that invisible, eternal one. However, it is important to respect that this country in itself is not the method and sense of people’s lives for Christian pursuits. This is just one of the inheritances of the goal - worship, adoration, union with God, in which the specialness of a person reaches the fullness of its revelation, God-likeness.

However, the thoroughness of the Kohanna is not less than the moral and emotional benefit of the people. Kohanna is no less a world and a thorough “tool” for the knowledge of the Truth and the created world. Unusually those who, out of their special spiritual purity, are called venerables, called spiritual life true philosophy, mysticism from mysticism, science from sciences. They called it that correct asceticism, the renewed unity of the soul with God, reveals to people the knowledge of the Truth, the glimpse of its imperishable Beauty, and the knowledge of the essence of all creation. It is clear to the Church that the spiritual thoroughness of people, to which the Gospel calls, is not a fantasy of the ignition of the world, but a reality, a fact, countless, practical, many times translated Irena in the history of life in the world, and has until now been presented to the searching people as a single reasonable metabottle.

Naturally, such a sense of living is unpleasant to the pagan world, the essence of which the first Theologian of the Church deduced from these words: “... everything that the world has: greed of the flesh (hunger of the people: sensitive, aesthetic, intellectual), greed of the eyes (hunger for riches stva) and the pride of life (search for power, glory), not before the Father, but not before the world” (16). The psychological basis of the world is the “ostrich syndrome” - mainly the inexorable and inevitable reality of life - death. That is why people throw all their strength into obtaining the indicated “goods.” And although it is completely obvious how mercilessly all the stinks are seen from the simple smell of death, the ideal for the world that goes beyond the interests of one’s life, the IDEAL, the crucifixion of one’s life, and, in the words of the Apostle Paul, with bite and madness ().

The Christian sense of life, which lies in the speciality here on earth, of God-like spiritual values ​​and faith in the real resurrection body for endless life in Bose, becomes such a rank in an irreconcilable super-eternity with the ideal of t .z. atheistic humanism.

It would be more useful and important to analyze those spiritual currents that are contrary to the Christian ideal. There is no doubt that these are the currents of a spiritual order, and some not of a rational one. Who would like to reconfigure such a world?

Perche. Any correct theory must at least satisfy two main requirements: the facts that it confirms, and it must be verified (obviously, it must be unreasonable). That Christianity satisfies these minds is obvious, and that atheism does not contain (and cannot in principle) any facts that would confirm the non-existence of God, nor any evidence on the brand for new food: “What can a man do in order to convert in the heavens of God? » - Not a mensch, obviously. More precisely, atheism owes its full benefit to religion in the fact that for a person, who seeks the sense of life, there is only one way to know (or not know) who he is - religious.

Friend. Christianity propagates a human ideal, a greater religion than any other religion in the world has ever known – a pure, selfless bastard. This love, in the image of Christ, is the greatest form of good (to use Plato’s terminology), happiness (to use the terminology of light), the bliss of spiritual people, and at the same time the means of true knowledge of God and all creation. That this ideal of complete love is within reach is real, and not just a figment of fantasy, as the history of the Church and the lives of its saints can eloquently say. Why is it that this time, it’s not so easy to be overwhelmed by the light, and often, with baked fire and a sword, “examined” from human knowledge? Isn’t this very cruelty of the hiba an indicator of a healthy life that is interfering with the light of the Christian ideal of life?

Third – widely known in other words. "Pascal's Wager". In truth, the recognition of Christ, without taking away anything worthwhile or reasonable from people in their lives, at the same time gives them renewed hope for prosperity in eternity, since Christ is God and Savior. However, the offering of God, as the ideal and sense of life, which is not rich in anything on earth and the foundation of people, saves everything from eternity, as God is. Well, if you are a Christian, it is “virtuous”, but to give up the Christian sense of life is unreasonable. But in this case, why does this sensation arise?

Christianity is emerging, obviously, not through any of its principles that are contrary to human nature and life. The reason is different. This is reflected in the full extent of the goals and nature of life in the pagan world.

For the world, wealth, wealth and fame are the essence of life, but for Christianity - these are passions that inevitably entail suffering, disappointment and inevitable physical and spiritual death. For paganism, the sense of life is earthly blessings, and for Christianity - spiritual blessings: love, light of the soul, joy, purity of conscience, generosity, those things that people can enjoy forever. Let me tell you, for paganism the very holiness of Christians is intolerable; for them it is like a proof of confusion in an unrepentant soul, like a ring that reminds one of the eternal truth. Before the speech, the revolution of 1917 in Russia did not suddenly ring a bell with such hatred.

About the most

Father Sergius said that I would give lectures. Don't lie - forgetting your glasses. Get to talk!
You know, our age is of such a kind that when we are tired of it, and when we need to preach, then sometimes we are aware, sometimes we are aware, sometimes we ask ourselves - what should we give? For a little while now, Zahid has become accustomed to marveling at speech pragmatically. Finish vitati u hmarakh.
So, precisely with this very approach, it is often possible to get along, even if we are talking about Orthodoxy. What can you give me? What does that give people? There are a lot of luminaries. And, you know, we marvel at them as they are applied. The axis is life – this is our life. These are our troubles, these are our pains, as you wish, sorrows, joys. This is our life. We know our work, we know how we live, what we live. And light-gazing and religion are just an appendage. I try to talk about those that, like me, are felt by so many people. Religion has become an addition to life! Life is one thing, religion is another! The hardest people can work for every day is a week or go to a holy day. At the Academy, I often say that the priests perform services during the services, the professors attend the services, the students sing during the services, but I don’t know who to pray. And then, what is it? Why should I pray?
On the right is that whatever thought, opinion of the essence and religion especially is not an appendage to our practical life, but it appears that those who mean our life mean it in the most important speeches. And what is most important for us - perhaps we know everything. The most important thing for us is that there be goodness in our souls. You know, smokers are passionate about it! But you can live near the palace and be a miserable person.

Having told the story of his life, the abbot, about whom, perhaps, you felt. I myself came from an Orthodox family, a religious person, and then went to school, and from school to a real school. There is a reconversion that there is no God, that these are just empty fantasies that mean nothing. And the sense of life itself lies in getting to know this world. As much as possible. Reach out to this world and obtain all the blessings that this world can bestow. All of us, it was said, were infected with materialism.
And once, having said wine, we were all deeply enemies. There was a report in the newspapers, in a large font, what is called, “with hailing signs”: “The millionaire has ended his life with self-destruction!” - We were all enemies. “We were already, as it were, taken in by the materialistic worldview.” Well, well, it was before the revolution, be respectful, before the revolution! Don’t think about what’s happening right now, here, in heavenly hours. No, it was 1900. "We were all materialists." “I remember,” it seems, “I go as far as I can and don’t take off my hat, so as not to follow the Orthodox call, I demonstrate my atheistic conversion.” The millionaire ended his life by self-destruction. So what is the most important thing in life? It's all good! It appears that there is a farmhouse not far away - and everything has disappeared.

And even a great myth among the Greeks, the stench has ignited even a great many myths. The deep myths that are revealed are effective even often, such as other aspects of human life, psychology, and sometimes they begin to implicate the very essence of humanity. The myth about the Sword of Damocles. Remember how one of the nobles greeted the princess who lived in luxury. The Tsar arrived and held the banquet. Having seated the nobleman in his seat, he hung a sword above his head on a thin hair. And then he said: “Well, how do you feel? Why don't you eat or eat? Why are you so crazy? Why are you so smart? The whole idea of ​​the Sword of Damocles is a great idea, I’ll tell you. The skin of a person, as soon as it was born, I don’t even say - it was born, now it’s time to sit under the sword of Damocles. When a hair breaks, no one knows. Then we feel, naturally, feel - over this, over the other, over the third, over the tenth. This is how wars begin - over millions, one fine hair is cut off.

And the axis of the person puts food, because he wants to get out of everyday life, because of the vanity, which, to the point of speaking, is the most harrassing, you know, the axis that drank in the eyes of what: what am I living for? A person will learn, but if he drank the tabletops, they can flatten his eyes, but he won’t learn anything, everything, it seems, is – but he won’t learn anything. So, this is our everyday life, this is our turbo, problems, torment, stress, stress, etc. Tables cover our life for an hour that we never know, what is called, think: what am I living for? Where am I living? What sense does my life have? What is the meaning of all my activities? What sense? Well, okay, I’ve earned everything, but what next? Zrobiv. Well, I've earned it. What next? True, there are different tests of the power supply. If it’s true, don’t come back. “I pay for this in order to live!” - Already often we are very timid, not at all in order to live. In order to live, we need much less. “Robimo for others!” – but we need to think: what can we earn for others? The nutritional values ​​of those we care about are one of the most important. Sensation and value are the place of our activity. This sense and value can be assessed from either one glance or another. Just a thought that can change the answer to the question – good or bad? I am engaged in activities that will bring justice to me and other people?! But there’s simply nothing to be gained, I work like a squirrel in a wheel: I work with one hand and ruin with the other!

Well, first of all, food, as it seems to me, stands in front of people, and it really stands, no matter how much we sometimes drowned it out. This is, after all, food: “I, as a special person, live for a few years - and that’s all? Why am I special in continuing to live, living?” Axis, as you wish, two strongholds that are impossible to please each other and reconcile. This is an alternative. Or: Believe me, human being, eternal death is upon you - that’s how atheism speaks. Abo: Believe me, human being, life is counting on you forever. And this [earthly] life means, whatever you want, the ability to reveal to yourself what is special, how it is moral and straight forward.

Who is this person? This is the people's faith! What do you want, what do you want, what do you think. Faith in those who have no God, no eternity, no soul, is miraculously shown by Dostoevsky in “The Brothers Karamazov”. I remember that when I marveled at the film, I was simply in my heart, saying at the time: “Now the apologists have nothing to do!” There is Chudova Rozmova, Ivan Karamazov, and her boyfriend, that is. demon: “And if there is no God, then everything is permitted?!” If there is no God, then what is there to live?” The person is healthy, everything is miraculous, everything is good at the same time. Has the person fallen ill? Did the problems start last night? Aren't they the same ones in this family? I etc. What is the sense of life there, you might say? Only at a glance can we correctly evaluate all our activities and our entire life. Therefore, in connection with this, the food is even more important, with which I began: “What does Orthodoxy give to the people? What does the Christian faith give us? I am not talking about the relationship between Orthodoxy and other religions, about the relationship between Orthodoxy and other confessions. This is food, you understand, even now. I immediately want to say literally about the main thing - what truth Orthodoxy gives to people.

The axes immediately started talking about those who are our encampment, the encampment of each of us - this is a true encampment under the sword to hang. We don’t know whether we are healthy or already sick, who knows? How will we manage tomorrow, what will we have in our family, what will we have at work, what will we have in the state, what will we have in the world? We don’t know anything! It is important for all our sacraments to be of an approximate nature, and then, they are sacraments and nothing more. What do we know? We don’t know anything.
And axis, to increase respect: people believe, I especially say this word - to believe that there is no God. Because it’s impossible to know, you yourself understand. It is impossible to know that there is no God. According to science, what is our cognitive activity? The world that is known is endless, and, therefore, all our knowledge at any moment is just a speck in the ocean, so from the looks of science, no one in the future will be able to say that there is no God, let alone God i there was no truth. Science can't say anything. The most that can be said is: so, perhaps, Vin is! Marvel at the authenticity of this.

Anyway, maybe we’ll talk later. Now let's talk about something else. About those who fundamentally believe in God, while concluding that our life is more than earthly life, connected inclusively with the body, and there is no soul in people, the knowledge of people knows, the specialness knows, there is no God, - then and that's all What will our life be based on? We can’t destroy everything that we all know. We are insuring as little food as we can insure. I’ll say it again: we can’t know anything about everyday global, sovereign, sovereign, natural shocks! And we can’t earn anything, as we all knew.
Otherwise, I'm healthy and get on with my family. The people, who do not believe in God, are always in the camp: “I wish something had not happened!..”. As if denouncing what I would lie to, it did not change its position before me. Yak bi htos on me schos without dripping. As if they didn’t set me up anyway. Such a person does not care for the hard ground under her feet. Mi bachimo, as coups arise: mittevo. Htosto buv KIM, becoming NOBODY then.

What does Orthodoxy give? The Orthodox faith and the reconfirmation of a person that God is and that God is Lyubov, and nothing else, completely changes a person’s acceptance of everything that happens in her life. How he survived that millionaire, who laid his hands on himself! And how many people end their lives for other reasons - they stopped fasting, they stopped planting... We have so many stresses, strokes, heart attacks, how many we’ll see. Stars? Stars that are not on solid ground under our feet. This we repeat to our hearts and faith in God, who is Lyubov. I know that nothing will happen with me, nothing will happen without the will of God! Only an alien can marvel and say: “Oh... this people, the white robe is less likely to wield a scalpel. How greedy are they, why bother with him, why bother with him? Bo doesn’t know anything. And the people, who know, will say: “So this is the surgeon, the greatest surgeon in the world, who saves people from cancer.” Those who are persecuted by me, in the Christian faith, are accepted as the kind and wise Providence of God according to me. I know this for sure, because I believe it. I believe that this is not a random phenomenon. What is not the hatred of all people, what is not the hatred of all people. No one and nothing can touch me, as God does not allow. I have the greatest respect for the greatest misfortune of our life.

Faith in God gives supernatural courage in spite of all the sorrows that plague people. People who are trying to kill the evil of me - and I can see how to stop the stink - from a Christian point of view, they are too blind - you feel it, they are blind! - are in the hands of God. A scalpel understands nothing! On the side you might think that you are torturing my skin, my organs. Really, what is going on? This is a noble and wise operation, without which I cannot live. Think about what Christianity is like! Faith in God gives me a firm footing in my life. It gives me the courage, I repeat once again, it gives me the ability to make completely different decisions before other people. There is no need to be sympathetic to me - the requirement is to put the truth before the people. There is no need to hate me - the demands of my truth are put before people, just as I want them to be put before me. Christianity establishes a greater principle, a central principle, for whom no one can truly enjoy happiness here on earth.

I’m not saying anything about the future, because I often hear and read about how Christianity is nothing but a pie in the sky. Whatever you take away after death, there will be eternal blessings for you. And there’s nothing here. Nothing like that. Nothing like that!!! Here Christianity itself gives people things that nothing else can give. Marvel, immediately run to psychologists, psychics, chakluns, I don’t know who else not to run to in order to capture this vantage. “I can’t do this anymore, why bother me, I have a tightness...” You can’t tell yourself, at one of the meetings in Finland they brought up statistics: more than half of the people – the poor, the wealthy – more than half of the people have lost their sense of life and are degenerating into psychiatrists. The cause of self-destruction and terrible stress is the loss of the sense of life. I don’t know what happened. The axis is everything - what next? What's next? Christianity gives people a perspective for life, it does not confine them to any university, to these dozens of rocks. It’s like, no, you’re not a creature, you’re a human being. Your specialness is not diminished. I'm grinding the axle on it. How important it is for people to turn their gaze! The people are supposed to be reasonable. I must make sure to move wisely to the point where the faith is correct. Why is there speciality in eternal life? Why is there specialness in eternal death? Where to lie, I’ll tell you, all our life is far away.

Pascal is a well-known physicist, as physics we know everything, and we don’t know anything else - which is a person who spent almost all of his known life in a monastery. He has deprived us of miracle thoughts. The book that he had planned to write as a proof of atheism, he did not manage to write, he died too early. Ale lost his note. From afar after the death of Pascal, if they knew. “Thoughts about religion” have not yet lost their relevance. If you're interested, you can read it. And the axis, close up, there is one great thought that has been lost in the history of human thoughts as “Pascal’s couples”, couples – that’s it, super girl. So why is this bet? It seems that a person who does not believe in God gains nothing here, absolutely nothing gains here, except that God is there - he loses everything there. A person, who believes in God, does not lose anything here, she does not have two boats and ten shoulders, but everything wins there - as God does. The first food for that is God? Without it, a person’s thoughts are no light. Of course, you don’t have to joke about anything, you can indulge in such a life, if people don’t need anything in the world. Well, we know what kind of life this is - so be it, created, biological, grown, as you wish, not human. People can’t get enough of food – I still live and what sense does my activity have? Christianity confirms the sense that this activity has, be it: sovereign, economical, creative, sovereign - it has no meaning. What sense is there? Because God is Lyubov, and I want to tell you once again that God is not the essence of being here at the head of Alpha Centauri, sitting there and doing everything, pressing all the buttons. God is by the Spirit. It's not material. This is not the law of gravity, this is not some kind of ether that permeates, this is not material at all, those that we, naturally, cannot describe, but what is more important: God is fundamentally superior to everything material.
Since God is Lyubov, that is the essence of our whole life, our whole being, our whole being, both cosmic and human, then the Christian faith is centered on the principle, or, let’s say, “law number one”, on which all other laws will be based, s what all other laws are being introduced. This is the law of the law, you understand, the axis of principles, the eternal principle. Because God is that eternal essence, as He permeates all our lives and people, first for everything. This is the principle of kohannya. Christianity seems to be that the main idea, the whole main part of human activity is activity consistent with this principle. All those who do not conform to this principle of love are wrong activities. What does incorrect mean? We know that this is such a wrong action in any kind of justice: we do things wrong, and then we smell the police - what should we do now? Unfaithful activities are those that in Christianity are called sin, but in Christianity are called mercy.

What is evil? Christianity speaks about one marvelous river, which, unfortunately, is little known to people. It seems approximately like this: Are you stealing? Have yourself a vikrav ti! And not in New York. Are you in charge of evil? You have created evil for yourself! Not a youmu. Are you okay? You only know what you gave to someone else! Christianity calls sin all those that harm the souls of people. The axis is even more important. Skoda, to whomever I bring anything: whether to myself, or to others, or to nature, is a sin. I've lost my skin, it's a scratch, and I'm going to die. It's a terrible sin, for which I pay. For the short-sighted only, killing, great theft, terrible disease, etc. are called sins. And Christianity marvels a little more deeply and urges people to put on eyepieces. However, all great sins are inherited, and not an independent act. The legacy of what is in the soul of a person. No one was killed immediately. Having hated this person, having spun this cat a thousand times in my soul, I have twisted this cat a thousand times in my soul, without having really done it right. That is why Christianity seems to be that the first and most important sin is found in the soul of a person. You know, when people are on the mountain, and there are sleighs standing there, it will take a long time to come down from the hill. It seems to me that there are stages of abyss there. It seems like you better not sit by the sleigh. As you are, you don’t miss the middle. Therefore, Christianity places respect on the so-called spiritual side of people. The axis of mi is said to be very rich – spiritual, spiritual! Suddenly you start scratching yourself - am I not a spirit?! What is so spiritual? And the axis is more spiritual! These are the ones that exist in me, in the middle, those that no one knows or feels. I can really hate a person, and this hatred can then lead to terrible consequences, and these consequences, the remains of which are already felt not only in the soul, but also on the material plane, the smells appear as less important wounds .

We are talking about Divine Revelation, we say that the New Testament is revealed. Old Testament, New Testament, Gospel - revelation of Who? The revelation of Him whom we call God. Who is God? - Kohannya, What is Vin revealing? Lyudina! don't harm yourself! Yak? And that's it! At first there were rough commandments, when you take the Old Testament, then there were the roughest commandments. You know, don’t kill, don’t steal, that’s it. The most rude commandments, which is the axis of everything to climb. Christ came and pointed out the reason for these speeches and said that people will harm themselves, they will make their life miserable, they will smoke their life, waste begins in their thoughts! Never again will you wake up! So Christ just foreshadows this: people, show respect to your soul! According to your own thoughts, according to your own feelings, according to your own beliefs. Think about the purity of people who speak Christianity. Talk about Yogo's soul. To what shrine does he call! Think about how miraculous this is. This is beautiful, as Chekhov said: Everything about a person is miraculous - the soul, the body, the hands, and the face. The people are called upon with their royal essence. In what sense? It matters to the saint. Before speaking, only one can kindly treat others who also treat themselves. One who is not able to treat himself cannot properly treat others. This is the law. This is the law that the ancient pre-Christian sages spoke about. Christianity only confirms this. And it seems that the most important thing that a person has to know is that he is completely different from himself. I overcame and overcame - overcame oneself!

You will gain respect: who is most glorified by Christianity? Devotees. Why are they stinking around the desert, you say, screaming? Well, there is more. Climbing into the desert somewhere and sitting there, he swears to himself. You can even think so! The truth is about what is going on: no one and nothing has been achieved, without seeing anything that respects you. It seems that having written an etymological dictionary, they burst into flames after seeing friends, acquaintances, and everyone else. Literally pishov on the second shutter. For the longest time, there are few fates left. Then, having seen the truth that is required. What a dictionary! And what will the desert ascetics do? The most important! I will try to clear myself of what hurts us, what hurts, what kills. That is why we glorify them like this. These are true people, pure in soul.

Unfortunately, we don’t talk much about this anymore. Our life, of course, has little to do. The infection of life is becoming more and more materialistic in nature. The materialism in which Zakhid is alive and in which he is at once alive and for which materialism is the only method in life, literally panics there. The infection, of course, also attacks our awareness. Ale is still alive in us, I say bi, soul. Zagalom in Russia is a striking phenomenon, after so many fatalities to atheism, where, it seems, people who have been recruited by the Dusya to atheism, who were generously given freedom, you will marvel at what a shock it has become! Stars? It has vanished, this is a phenomenon that would have been melodiously occupied with in the past, as if humanity had still been awakening for a long time, but it’s a pity that it will never be so soon, because it seems so forever. This is a shocking fact: only a few understood the fence - and people flocked to the temple. Moreover, you, melodiously, noted: fathers are guided by children, and this directly evokes the sense of the words of children. Children - ten, fifteen, twenty years old - visit their fathers. Our soul still has a voice, which evokes the search for truth, the sense of holiness, the understanding that I am not just a creature, I am human, and I cannot believe in those that I will never be, that with the death of my body I will cease. Sleep.

Before speaking, I don’t know what this means for you, but I want to say that atheism, as a scientific view, does not evade criticism any more than the scientific view, which I was talking about: that science cannot say at all that there is no God. Atheism does not evade criticism from the other side. You may need to rely on your diet. And the most important thing for new food: what am I trying to earn in order to roll over, because there is no God. He insists that there is no God. I want to jump into something. Do you want to listen to me? Vibachte. I want to convert, not believe. Tell me, what am I trying to earn to get around, that there is no God? Do you want to do science? How many things do you need to re-invent? Great scientists who believed and believe in God. Do you want to study mysticism, literature, philosophy? It is clear that this sphere does not seem that there is no God. What am I trying to earn in order to transfer, what is there no God, what is no soul, what is there no eternity for me? Atheism is out of the question. There is no news. There is no power supply. Christianity only knows, however, that it seems like: for the sake of God, for the sake of all that is holy, try to live like this, try it, and you will see that God is. Specifies a specific path. Before speech, regardless of people of different eras, different social developments, different worldviews, different intelligences - from the lowest to the highest - if they stood on the roads signified by Christianity, then they came to this faith, or, to put it more simply, to the extreme, special knowledge of the Divine . It turns out that Christianity shows this practical way to everyone who really wants to change hands with someone. I’m no longer talking about those that Christianity has very few arguments, both negative for atheism and positive ones that confirm its truth. If you want a theory, how is it confirmed? Remember, neutrinos: once it was discovered, theoretically, then they wondered for thirty years whether it was true. All data is that neutrinos are, but really nothing? Christianity has a lot of people, and it’s not easy to believe that the stench appeared in the Christian environment. This faith is inexpensive, I’ll tell you. So many people who were inspired by the Muslim faith would be Muslims, and those who would be inspired by the Buddhist faith would be Buddhists. I'm not talking about just a few people. I don’t want to talk about just a few people, there are a lot of such people. Whatever religion you have. I’m talking about other people, I’m talking about those people who, figuratively speaking, “with bow and sword” went through life, actively searched for God and found Him.

Since we have the utmost respect for only one fact, only one fact: the history of the journey and formation of Christianity, then we singly recount what kind of religion it is. As you know, Christ was roasted, then. They were pleased with the greatest strife at that time. His learned apostles sat in fear, as it is written: “for the sake of the Jews,” locked in their room. Why? Because they knew: only they will appear, they will be lost. They also rose or walked on stones. This is where Christianity began, think about it! The Jewish Sanhedrin ordered that everyone who preaches about this name be brought before him. And many of the disciples of Christ, as we know, suffered. Stefan, called the first martyr, was stoned, Jacob was thrown from the temple. The worst reinvestigations and justice of terrorism have begun. Ax the word, we really need it now. The axis of the era, in which Christianity began its life. Few showed up. There were very good ties with Rome, with the royal house and with us, so that already in the 60s, perhaps, like the 50s of the first century, there was a law behind which skin, who would be recognized as a Christian, as he himself would say, If you inform someone else, there will be a lot of suffering. Christians - before the left. You see in what situation Christianity was born. If we had shown ourselves so realistically, realistically, in life, we would have realized that Christianity was not to blame. It may be reduced at the very root, at the cob itself, at the center itself, and at the very beginning. To him they beat in Christ, to him they beat in His teachings. Before the speech, one and all, the creme of John the Theologian. Everyone was suffering. All of their followers. Stratum after stratum. Christians before the Levites. Circuses were of different types. In the Nero Gardens, Christians were tied up, oiled and scorched from the walls of the dark like tar. Tell me, how could religion exist here? And everything continued until 317, with several interruptions. I ask myself: how could Christianity exist, how could it awaken, how could it be lost?

I point to this fact as one of the various arguments to prove that Christianity is not just, as you know, a religious philosophy or a sect, a sect, and you won’t forget it in any way. There are a lot of sects to blame, and so these sects will lose their stink. And then they know. And this religion has spread all over the world over the years. In such minds! I wonder what fact is enough to believe in God. Only if you know this can you understand the origin of Christianity to this day. And it would be impoverished, but it could have been through Yaku? Through the entrance to God. For no other reason.
This historical fact has a lot to talk about. That Christianity is not the product of any kind of dreamer, or dreamer. And then, when we read the Gospel, we see the image of Christ. He’s completely blatant, let’s put it this way, Lyudina. Tverezy. There is no darkness there. Moreover, Lyudina, if you don’t strive for power or glory, you are not ambitious. Having resurrected the twelve-year-old daughter of Yair, first, to stop Vin, he punishes no one about this. He kills one leper, another, and then orders him not to tell anyone. Lyudina did not give up anything earthly. Neither power, nor wealth, nor fame touched Yogo.

So, I want to say that Christianity, it has very strong arguments that confirm those that effectively God is and this God is the very thing that Christianity gives. In this section we are entering the sphere of “Christianity and other religions”. Each religion represents God in its own way. That’s right, he’s Ivan Petrovich. Do you wonder who is the culprit? "Wretched people." And you? - “Oh, wonderful person.” How do you look? - “Oh, you idiot.” And you? - What a genius! Ask ten people about another person, and sometimes we have ten thoughts. People realized that God was... All peoples believed. Before speaking, here is a very clear fact: all peoples have always believed in God. And to this day no single atheistic tribe has been found among the so-called wild peoples. Zhodny. Nikoli. This is the most important river. Everyone believed. And the one on the right - believe that she is Vin, and the other - who is Vin! Various peoples had strong personalities, either thinkers or strong “charismatics,” who said: “From whom is it. “Vin is like this and like that.” This is how Vchennya about God was formulated, from below on the mountain. The feeling of God, the idea of ​​God, and who is, already preached by the other “active creator of religion.”

This is how the many manifestations about God came about, and so did the impersonal religions. It got to the point where religions had already appeared, which claimed that there were many Gods. Not one God, but an impersonal one. And it was very simple, to the point of speaking. I think you and I will soon get there. Acceptable trend up to this point. You know that the Greeks had the God of Trade, the God of War, and the God of Cohanna. Yak tse viniklo? Well, of course, there is only one God. But then it became clear to the media that those who are especially concerned about this or another type of human activity. This is how degradation began: from the “awareness of the one God” came awareness of the impersonality of those who control their skin area. It started in Catholicism, and then it began to come down to us and, I think, will continue to take root. That other saint rules this or that other area. The churches have a duty and charge to come up to you with everything and food, to whom to pray, so that…. And everything, no longer the Lord God, no other saint - only this saint and no one else is needed. If, for example, a person is drunk, then who should he pray to? No one! And it is necessary to oblige in front of the icon “The cup that cannot be drunk.” If you simply pray to the Mother of God, then nothing will be given. The icon “Inexhaustible Chalice” is required. This image of the Mother of God will also help. The Mother of God herself was divided! I remember once, back in the 70s, Kremlin doctors came to us, and we took them to our museum. And there, on view, is the icon of the Mother of God “Add to Reason.” So, you know what the discussion was like. One doctor shouted: “My son is starting to get sick, give me this icon!” And to a friend: “And I have a daughter. And give me.” Do you understand? In our country, we have such light thoughts, not even anecdotal. It's not really a joke. It is a very rare occurrence to come to a priest and ask to serve a prayer service to the Mother of God in order to relieve the ailments of drinking. It’s best to come and ask to serve a prayer service in front of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon, and such are the devils. You feel what’s going on. It’s no longer the Mother of God, but an icon. I’m just showing you psychologically how you can imagine that people, if they believe in one God, began to believe in anonymous gods. We still value this in this regard: when we believe in Bogomatir, we share our icons. I remember that one grandmother, in response to my statement that God’s Mother is alone, began to cry very strongly. “Yak alone Mother of God? And Volodymyrska? And Iverska? And Kazanska? Why teach you this in the seminary?” And I had a lot of trouble! I, of course, gave up right away, there’s nothing to say here. This was the process by which faith in the one God disintegrated, among the godless gods.

So how did these manifestations about God happen in people? It is a skin religion to believe in your God, so you have your own image of God. The axis is revealed by which religions are divided. In truth, there is, of course, only one God. And these statements about God sometimes reached such depths that it was simply scary. Until then, let me go again. Goodbye to Satanism. And the gods were here. Well, how is Christianity distinguished from such religions? Let's just think about it. As God is God, as Vin is Lyubov, Vin cannot help but confess to people. You can’t help but crack up. Wine opens up. So the path is not only from the bottom to the mountain, but the path is down to the beast. This axis is called Divine revelations. Christianity claims to replace other religions because it is a sincere religion. Whose sense has a true religion. I’ll give you one more argument, a historical argument, showing in what minds Christianity developed, in what terrible persecutions, persecutions and persecutions, and the strata of the first Christians succumbed. All religion lost, expanded and gained an all-worldly character. However, it is clear that Christianity is not simply a product of our fantasies. And this is a religion that is constantly supported by the power of God. You won’t find an explanation unless you talk objectively with historians - there are no good human reasons to explain the fact of the preservation of Christianity in history. Where would I like to end the lecture? Now let's talk.

Power supply

Nowadays, the situation in our country is such that we live in the midst of the impersonality of religion, or rather, not religion, but light-gazers. There are a lot of sects, a lot of representatives of other religions. Catholicism is already becoming more active. This trend is called “twofold”. We have already advanced the rank of our dioceses, or rather, our establishments in Russia. There are now a few dioceses, bishops, and now metropolitans. And, as you see, the situation in this relationship is complicated. Moreover, all the calls of our Church and the messages of our Ministry of Health in order to combine our activity with this camp of speeches, which we always have in our place, and to call for Orthodoxy, all of our statements were lost, in fact, undivided. Catholicism, they say, has gone to Russia. It’s just that we won’t come to Russia yet. This, of course, is your dream, sacred. Ale has already visited us. And in Ukraine, and in Virmenia, and in Georgia, we too, so to speak, are in a kind of Catholic aura, which is immediately trying to permeate our Church, as far as possible. I think that it’s really possible to change your mind for someone, obviously.

– Oleksiy Illich, this question was asked: “Why do believers respect a person who believes in his soul, but does not follow the church and does not adhere to fasts?”

You know, the axis of such a hidden form is important. Behind the formal signs – obviously, no. For the formal ones. Because, as soon as I believe that you want to rush in here and say: “We’re on fire!” And if I don’t believe it, I won’t destroy the place. Really?
So, how can I say that I believe in my soul, and don’t go there, where can I come with just a little bit of myself? Pray a little. Where can I get a little bit of the Gospel, let me explain it. If I believe, then why won’t I go there! If I believe, then I am obliged to confess, to cleanse my soul, even just a little. What am I, sinless essence, what? I believe, I am Yangol. So I need to confess, I need to take communion. I need to pray. It’s impossible without this.
So I will tell you: faith, there is always a virgin. If I believe, then I’m afraid of it. Because I don’t hesitate, that means I don’t believe, that means I’m just tossing around my idea in my mind, because it doesn’t give me the desired concrete direction in my life. This is deprived of an abstract idea. Like geometry has a point, without dimension. But be it a point, no matter how it was, you can measure it, take a point on some paper. No! The geometric point of measurement is not large. So here too.
So I really doubt that such a faith can bring harm to this people. But I can’t say until the end. Because the faith is similar to the grain, the plant that we plant and that can then produce steam, then it can sprout more, and maybe become a tree. I hope to bear fruit.
So everything should lie in front of this person. It is true that it begins, perhaps, while we are at this stage. If people have already believed in God and no temple for dozens of years, and know nothing, then I even begin to doubt it. I think it’s no longer faith. It’s simple, as Khomyakov, one of our geniuses, said: “not faith, but faith.” Still, it is necessary to separate two concepts, and I would call the axis of this situation that way.

- I'm running out of food. We are worldly people, we live among the world, and the Savior showed us the way, but in me there is a squad, children. Where is the line that I can recognize in this diet? It is clear that the holy stinks could sing in the desert and fight through the ceremony. What about us? How do we know that line so as not to spoil our family and loved ones and forget about ourselves, our savior?

Tse garne food. I’ll recite the text a little, and then, perhaps, read it often and confirm. Yunak Yogo asked: What should I do to calm down? Jesus said: Do you know the commandments? - I know. I overreact on them. I’ve lost everything, even if I’m a young man. Then go ahead, if you want to get to the bottom of it, then go and sell the mats and give them to the foals. You feel like you want to turn around, then so, in front of you, it’s like Jesus. There, in the Gospel, it is written so directly. Bachite, there are two different steps taken here.
Why should we, worldly people, what should I say? We can live according to our conscience. Vlasna, what does it all come down to? All the commandments. If you don’t want to go out, then you must repent profusely. The one that was destroyed. If you want to effectively achieve more, then we understand that, being in our midst, constantly colliding with people, we are constantly literally sinning. We won't stop condemning any more. There is only condemnation, but zadrіst, and jealousy, what else is there, and witchcraft? We are spinning around here, talking about each other, since one of the other is constantly, we are straining our skin, there is so much that is impossible to reach. I told you about the ancient, who, in order to write an etymological dictionary, closed literally on the river for two. Only then can you earn money. And I’ll tell you in the future, no one could have accomplished anything great, because he didn’t devote all his strength to this task and didn’t see anything else. So, if people want to be thorough, then so be it. Then I need to rightly say everything that I can rightly say. Whatever the world is to say, such a world takes away the ability to become comfortable in its nutrition. Why did they go to the desert, to the shutter, to the darkness? How can the nobility be called? Greenhouse kviti. Marvel at how the lush flowers in the greenhouses do not grow like this in the fresh air. So the stench was like greenhouse flowers. They created the blameless, ideal minds for spiritual life. And that’s why the stench could reach more. That which we cannot reach. We cannot achieve such a goal in order to love everyone equally. We simply cannot achieve the goal of loving our enemies. I say love, sense, feel with your heart. We can understand with our minds, we can rightly put ourselves before the enemy, but in order to love him - vibachte. What I can’t do. The stench reached him.
Tell me, what does this give to people? The answer to this question is very simple. Kozhen, who has just started to squirm, knows what it’s like. So they stink: they brought love, and not tangles, into everyone’s mustaches, and this is their soul’s frame. The axis is like the camp of the soul of the slaughtered one, which is ready to give in everything, ready to be walled up, the axis is also a shambles. This is the country for which people are ready to give everything. So, it appears that the more correct Christian life and the thoroughness that reaches out to people for special minds will bring forth delicious fruits for this people. Yesterday, when I was at the church, I heard the life of Mary of Egypt. I’ll tell you that what happened to her is a unique episode in history, and it’s impossible for me to explain it in human terms. So she, having immediately lost her hectic life, went to the desert and was there alone for 47 years! At the same time, it’s just pure fantasy and fact. And as a fact, we must understand what was in her soul for which she paid everyone. Neither hunger, nor fears of animals, nor cold, nor selfishness, nothing could drive her away - this is how she will become. It's so thorough.
Thoroughness means maximum proximity to God, Who is Love. Apostle Paul and even - spiritual fruit - love, joy. You remember that he overdoes his speech. Aje mi, it’s a pity, we don’t know what it is. We forgot about this speech. We don’t understand anything. That’s why we didn’t understand how Maria of Egypt could have been there. How can you explain the suffering of the martyr? Even tens, hundreds, thousands perished in three hundred fatal persecutions. Well, how is it possible, if I know for sure that a Christian will be given to beasts and roses, or else I will still be bothered with him, and I will accept Christianity? So, are you laughing? What kind of religion do we need to accept? This is how it is possible - to voice yourself as a Christian. Or if I feel like throwing some grains into a hot frying pan in front of the standing idol, that’s it, and you’re free. Nothing more. And thousands of thousands of people faced a wildly terrible death, but were never seen again. The Great Martyr Eustratius said from this occasion: “This torment is joy for Thy servants.” We forgot about these categories. Vzagali, these categories: happiness, joy - these are real speeches. And the most correct Christian life cleanses the human soul from the unholy, from the unclean, from God’s and other thoughts, feelings and fears. It is necessary to work for the soul until it receives God, perceives God, experiences God, and then the soul is filled with truly incredible joy, love, etc. This axis gives thoroughness. For whose sake is it necessary to liberate the soul. The soul sings songs of dimensions: the more it is filled with moths, the less bark, the more ballast, the less bark vanity. The axis is our soul.
So why do we forget about it? Oh, I’m constantly filling my soul with all sorts of dreams and thoughts. Be-what kind of films. Be some kind of trash, hostility. The more I fill my soul, the less I am deprived of what I can live. And we don’t worry about that. There is no joy, no love, the soul is dead. The axis is bad. That is why in our secular life, I respect and owe it to you, to the extent possible, to try to live beyond doubts, beyond the Gospel. And then, it’s even more important: with my soul I would like not to get attached to anything. So, we know: we are to blame for our work, for our work, for our right, and for our work. Don't get attached to your soul. Because you know who is so rich, the words have a nasty meaning: the one who is attached to his wealth. And this richness may be the remaining foal. Bagach - who? The one who is tied to his heart, who is alive, who is precious, for whom life is worthless. Who's rich? And at the same time, a lot of people can be people, as long as they don’t get it, they’re not tied to anyone. Before speaking, I want to say: the more connections there are to the earth, it is more important for people to die. Nobility is required. Because you will have to cut some of the motorcycles. It is necessary not to become attached to anything internally. And I will say that it is a great good if a person is not tied down. And if we: “Oh, my God, what did Princess Maria Oleksiivna say!” If we are disturbed by human thoughts, if other speeches are disturbed, then it is important, people, it is very important. Therefore, our task is to fight this bond as hard as possible, so that we can achieve singing freedom.

– Through God's Providence, we can all appear in the hands of the Almighty.

There is no need to mix two different speeches here. One word is human freedom. I am faced with a choice: I can do good or evil. Because this is my freedom. And here I am confident and, obviously, I can see the results of your choice. This is one river. What do I want to earn and what am I already earning for myself? And it’s completely different that I will be allowed to do the same things to other people, as much as possible. I can hate anyone with fierce hatred and am ready to kill them. But I can’t kill the axis anyway. Having killed the bi, there is no way to get out. Axis of God's Promisle de die. Ale is not in my freedom. My freedom is being taken away. That's why we say that people can sometimes be considered morally pure. Tobto, what does morally pure mean? It is possible to be reckless in human affairs and not say anything bad about anyone. So, don’t steal wine. Vіn sacredly celebrates his certificates. Everything is in order with his family. Look, everything is fine. She's a good person. This is the moral side. And in the middle there is a spiritual side, and we can be completely energized. We don’t know, but what do you want? Why is it wrong? What is it about this moral person? What can we dream about? About Slava. As I live all my life, I strive for human glory, but at once I feel that the desire for glory will rechristen my entire spiritual life. So in the middle, a person can be proud, or glorified, or fame-loving, etc. And you can be a completely moral person.
So from Shodo Cain, for example. Those who Cain wanted to kill his brother, hated him, are on the right of his freedom. Yogo individuals. Yogo sin. And those who were allowed to kill Abel are on the right hand of God's Promis. Of course, the most important source of nutrition is to blame: what else is needed? Was Abel supposed to be driven in? You could live another 900 years! I think that you and I will not find any residual evidence on this diet, but the principle of evidence. I can’t say specifically, but the confirmation is important. There is no glory without heroic deeds. I respect that martyrdom is always one of those moments for a person that brings him particular good. Either they are silent for your sins, or they will bring glory to you eternally. Not for the earth, but for eternity. And I marvel at it. Whoever was killed here because it was a waste of time, we say - that’s what you need! He will be like this, like this and like this. What is Christianity? God is Lyubov, having given this man suffering, it is possible for him to repent, we don’t know how he will be alive. Having suffered, the mercy of God is great. You feel, as we marvel at the sight of eternity, our assessments emerge of a completely different character. Zokrema is right next to us, before we rang in this life. Mi - so you need it, vin vartiy tsyogo. And it appears that she is less likely to perform an operation with a knife, a scalpel. The Savior will not perform the operation. A completely different understanding of the facts. Those that God gave Cain to earn, perhaps, and for him then became the subject of kayatta. We don’t know the future of this life. And for Abel this served as the crown of glory. Oh, I’m guessing, this is how this fact and similar ones can be understood.

– We, Russians, representatives of Orthodoxy, are under the protection of the Mother of God. On one side, take pride for yourself, on the other side, smell three rubles of your self-aggrandizement. How can we draw a cordon here? We, the noses of Orthodoxy, are like the “Aryan nation,” and the whole world is like nothing.

I think that you yourself have already confirmed, conveyed my testimony. If you want it to happen, you should know that it’s not true. This is often said thickly: “We walk under the protection of the Mother of God.” What's this? What does this mean: that I can work no matter what, and God Mother protects me? What? I know the same reason. Who the hell? All these people, it seems, accepted Orthodoxy without knowing anything about it, and their worldly prejudices began to introduce them to you. It's just a disaster. I just told you at once - to serve a prayer service before the icon of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” and the other. If you are in front of “Volodimirskaya”, then there will be no service. Those in front of the “Sovereign” icon, but if not in front of the “Sovereign” icon, then there will be no way. You see, this is no longer the Mother of God, but an icon. So soon we will come to paganism. It's not safe at all. Icons are images of someone who has faith in us. Before whom I pray. This is the image. And these images are impersonal. There are nearly 700 images of the Mother of God. Different images before which we pray. Just like you and I can take photographs of you and me for a long time. The axle is on the right. These pagans thought that their images, paintings and sculptures were gods. For this, Christianity and twisted them.
And the same goes for Russia. What is it like: “We are the third Rome.” Well, Elder Philofey had such an idea, but now he had a completely different idea. Thought: Rome fell, Byzantium fell, where it was still the center, then the power, where Orthodoxy was the power religion and there was little opportunity to survive, expand and live. So it is in Russia. Yes, near Moscow. The axis was simply an idea - that’s all. Todi. Let me say that it will be so forever and ever, but it’s all the same to say: our ancestors robbed Rome. Almost the same.
So it’s just as well to cover the Mother of God. The Protection of the Mother of God is not insane. Shall we condemn the Jewish people? Buv. They threw up Christ - the congregation was chosen. Nothing and no one can live forever. Everything is subject to our will. Well, I don’t respect God, but I don’t respect God Matir! I can depict Sin II, but I can’t depict him? Think for yourself. And Athos says: “No, we are under the protection of the Mother of God.” Greece seems like: Ni, mi. Russia: "Ni, mi." Let's chat. Well, what's this? The protection of God, the saints and the Mother of God is offered only to those who actively want to follow God’s commandments. The one who throws up these commandments, himself throws up this cover. This is the law of life.
You know, in one article I read how Mikola the Other was canonized, and the author of the article wrote, through the river of the post: “Now the whole river of the royal family is enjoying heavenly blessings.” Just think about what a new theologian is writing here, I know him, he is an electrical engineer, a mathematician, and a rapist - the axis of all his knowledge of the theologian. It appears that before the canonization, all the same, as if the stench was holy, all the same, they were not used up, but after the canonization, the stench was built up. And if they decanonize, eat yogo, then what will happen? Then I’ll go back to hell, right? Well, what kind of logic is this!
From such looks, from such intelligent speeches, similar views are formed. It’s really crazy, I’ll tell you. Christianity speaks about one thing: the people’s docks cannot be conquered, God cannot approach them. I can’t earn anything. “Come out,” it seems, “Lord, I myself.” Until you reconcile, you cannot begin anything, but God Himself. Do you understand now why pride is the most desirable thing? The axis is pride, the axis is pride, the axis is I - the Mi. These are the best ways to conquer God. God should resist no one as much as we are proud. God makes us proud to resist, but gives grace to the humble. This is how I understand this situation.

Think about the words of St. Nicodemus of Svyatogorts.
Anthony Dulevich, missionary branch of the Kizil Diocese.
“Father, nothing has been lost that we could have asked from our Savior, and, having given up, they said with Pilip: “Lord, there is enough for us!” (In.14: 8). If we are looking for something beautiful for our life, then He will tell us: “This Sacrament, which I have given you, is a replenishment of all blessings, and there is nothing more in Me, no less. I have given you all the good things from this Bread and in this Wine.”(“Establish the Venerable Nicodemus of Svyatohirts”).

How marvelous and marvelous is the thought of the holy Athonite ascetic! As a believer, he broadly and wholeheartedly accepts these words, his desire for all the blessings and honors of this world to change radically. Moreover, I believe that faith in the truth of this thought of St. Nicodemus can give a Christian freedom from everything that goes wrong and superficial (as it is, of course, not possible). Just as a person has no family, children, robots or marriages, there is no drive for evil, and there is also the possibility of receiving within himself the precious Blood of our Savior. Shelter, drops Which do not protect the whole Universe.

The sense of Christian life is union with God. On earth, this connection is closely established through the Holy Communion of the Body and Blood of Christ. If a person who calls himself a Christian believes that in his life there can be anything greater than the participation of the Body and Blood of the Lord, then there is no harm in the Orthodox view. As a Christian of conversion, who has nothing important or meaningful in earthly life, except for being united with Christ in the Sacrament of Holy Communion, then, like a buttery yak, he is not afraid to approach the Chalice more often most amazing. Whoever firmly affirms this truth in words, I hesitate to take communion more often.

There are no saints who would feel the need for frequent Communion. However, in unison with the stench, it is possible to talk about something else. “This is the thought of all the saints that there is no salvation without communion and there is no success in life without frequent communion,”- wrote Saint Theophan the Recluse. And Saint Ignatius (Brianchaninov) began that the chant “Give us this day our daily bread” places on Christians spending today the obligation of a spare journey to the Holy Mysteries. There is no need to overprotect all the holy readers of the Church who were called upon to regularly participate in the main Sacrament. One can also pay tribute to the profound work of St. Nicodemus the Holy Mountain and St. Macarius of Corinth, “On the Intangible Communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ,” in which, based on the Holy Letter and the Holy Transmission, which the saints testify to the 14th list of opponents, th communion. The Canons of the Church also call before communion during the Skin Liturgy. The ninth canon of the Holy Apostles dictates that a layman must attend the Liturgy rather than receive communion. And another rule of the Antioch Council also speaks about the excommunication from the Church of those who were at the Liturgy and did not want to receive communion. The Tlumachian rule of the Zonara emphasizes that the ban is imposed on the one who does not partake of anything out of reverence and humility. And this is easy to understand. About how humility can be said, as at the Divine Liturgy Christ, through the lips of the priest, speaks to all the faithful: “Come and go,” “Drink from Her, all of you,” and the faithful cross themselves and bow, but, not wanting the words of the Lord, do not go take communion, nothing and Christ without going after them at all? Saint John Chrysostom begins: “As if you are not a celebrant, then you are not a celebrant and a participant (in the Liturgy of the faithful, and that means in prayers)… ...As if someone, having been called to the banquet, showed up at this time of year, having appeared and having already begun before the meal, and then If you didn’t take your share from her, then - tell me - without having figured out who was clicking?”. Such terrible words seem to Saint Chrysostom to those who do not dare to approach the Holy Chalice! Of course, there is no need to worry about those who are under penance, women of uncleanness and those who come to the Liturgy, pass through the temple and are not ready to take part in the Divine service.

One hundred percent of the Divine Liturgy and Holy Communion test the Christian’s trust in God. If we believe that in the Blood of Christ there is everything that we need, then the Divine Eucharist will become for a Christian the center of his life, from which there are exchanges that sanctify all his activities. If you are of little faith, you will not be pleased and try to convey that if you take part in the Liturgy today, you simply will not achieve anything. Saint Theophan the Recluse preached to the monks (or chanting, which is also relevant for the laity, as they may be able to attend the Liturgy every day) at the ceremony: “Let me not bother you, first of all, please skip this other Divine service and complete the necessary work as needed. Remember that robots are not prosperous if they lack the blessing of God, but this blessed need to be received and sent down from heaven... What is it? Prayer at the temple. If the blessed one is nourished, then one year can replace the work of a whole day, while one breaks and wanders without anything, and the day passes in vain.” Neither social nor missionary activity can be an important part of Eucharistic living. Even if you do not sanctify your souls at the Liturgy and do not immediately unite with Christ at Holy Communion, Christians will not have the strength to regularly help the needy. With the mission we are the same: by communing and holding Christ in ourselves, the missionary brings Him to people. By placing Holy Communion in the holy place, a Christian accepts the blessing of God for all his other affairs. At the Eucharistic Chalice the Kings of Kings are present with His Body and Blood. And where is the king, there is his kingdom. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all this will be given to you” (Matt. 6: 33).

And the other words of St. Nicodemus, which sound like a low thought: “Our Lord asks for one thing: to unite with your damned soul, but you don’t want to unite with Him - all that will overturn the Good? Does the Creator show such ardent love, and gunpowder such coldness? The Lord deigns to live in you and make you His home, but you, incredible creature, open doors before Him and don’t want to let Him in? You, showing such carelessness, become similar to those Jews who, in the desert, wanted the Egyptian tsibula and chasnik, like carnal feasts. What else can God do to overcome your inhumanity?” . The Lord wants to unite with us! This thought makes me want to look at the food about communion from the other side. Since we are children of God, it is our responsibility to please our Heavenly Father. Since He wants us to join Him at the Sacrament, why should we stop working to avoid running to the Chalice? Of course, the thorough God wants to be with us steadily, and not just a week. Therefore, He holds His Divine meal for us every day. This is the thought of St. Nicodemus as an additional motivation against human laziness and coldness: if you yourself do not want to receive communion through heaven, then guess that God wants to connect with you, and go (primarily, prepare in advance having fallen) to wait for Yoma.

These two are beautiful and bring radical thoughts about the establishment of Christianity before Holy Communion, depriving us of St. Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain. Kozhen can create a masterpiece for himself: and believe in these words of the Athonite saint. Even if we trust these words, the stench of goiters bothers us a lot.
