in fact, she introduced us, well, that is , at the very least, thank you very much, dear tv viewers, because if it weren’t for you, there would be no program, all the best, like old barrel cognac, a product of the stellar group.

everything, lord, have mercy, lord, have mercy, lord, have mercy. lord, let's pray. let's pray to the lord. lord have mercy.

i would like to immediately sincerely thank you for the way this church looks now, for the way services and other parish services are organized here, which have now become an integral part of everyone’s life... moscow parish and for today's service for your kind words. of course, the reconstruction of this temple is a great event and great joy for muscovites. in a sense, revived temples are like the resurrected dead. they were dead, but here they are alive. and here is today's one.

with the lives of all of us healthy people, but still decent living conditions, at that time to be a leper meant dying alive, no one gave you a helping hand because they were afraid to touch them, these people were hungry, unhappy, rejected by society, the people , yes everything... and so the lord heals such

a leper, it is this leper who comes to the savior to thank him, it is quite obvious that saint john chrysostom speaks very clearly about this, that gratitude to god does not add anything, but it brings us closer to god . amazing words of the saint, why. we should thank the lord, but some people thank simply out of some innate moral feeling, but we thank our parents, we thank our friends and relatives who do something for us, we thank boss, if there is a promotion there, but we thank god, but thanks to god is not present in people’s lives with such trepidation, with such attention, with such care, thank god, you can’t send a postcard or write a letter. or

when meeting your boss in the corridor, do not bow. in relation to god, we somehow don’t have this heightened sense of gratitude. and the words of chrysostom. thanksgiving to god does not change anything for god, but it brings us closer to god, this chain closes, the lord gives to us, and we respond to this thanksgiving. as a matter of fact, this chain, yes, connection, is called religion in latin, religero, the verb i connect, hence religion, religion is a connection, there cannot be a connection. with the help of force on the one hand, such a connection is very fragile, because someone who does not support this connection can easily break from this connecting link. that is why thanking god should not be some kind of

manifestation of our politeness. the lord does not need this politeness. and in general it’s not about pleasing god, as it were, he’s about that too. does not need to strengthen our religious feeling, our faith, our connection with the lord, and if we do not thank god, then the connection is weakened, undoubtedly, the connection is weakened and the power of god weakens, the connection is weakened and we move away from the lord with all subsequent, sometimes terrible tragic circumstances for human life, here is today... the gospel reading is just about this, only one person, and not a jew, belonging to another people, but in a different faith in those concepts, so he returned and gave thanks the savior, and as the lord himself said, where are

the nine, only this one foreigner, that is, as if he does not believe in god, as the jews believe in him, and does not worship the lord. in the jerusalem temple, not fulfilling all the requirements of the law, and god knows what kind of life a person lives, he felt the need to come to thank god, to come to thank the one who performed this miracle on him. of course, in order to thank a person or god, you need to do something in yourself, this is often very difficult for people who are proud or have a high position. position in society, and so accustomed to looking down on people a little, but sometimes it pops up automatically

, thank you, thank you, but it’s automatic, there’s nothing in these words, gratitude is always associated with a certain experience, with a certain emotion, feeling, that’s it thanks to god is welcomed by god, and such thanks to people is never forgotten. that is why there is a good tradition: a person who thanks someone who has done something good for him often wants to capture this gratitude with a gift, a letter or some kind deed. this is very good. you should never be ashamed of this, a kind person did you, write him a good letter, because this will be his memory of you as a grateful person, maybe someday he will be inspired to do the same in relation to the one who gave him did good. in other words,

thanksgiving connects us to each other. i will say again that it is faith itself, religion that exists. which should help us answer, but in general i am a grateful person, and i thank, and i do i sincerely thank you or so mechanically, do i thank you from the heart or in the hope that i thanked you and they will give you more?

if, after analyzing, we say: yes, in my gratitude there is something not very good , not coming from the heart, then we must certainly eradicate this sinful... side of our life in ourselves, because gratitude is truly what brings us closer to god help us. lord, this is an important feeling, truly connecting people, creating solidarity between people, and therefore a system of mutual support, so that it is present in our lives, not in accordance with etiquette and the rules of decency, in accordance with our inner need, to sincerely thank god, to sincerely thank those who do good to us. i, my dear ones, once again cordially greet you on this holiday, i rejoice

at what i have found in this temple, we are building wonderful churches in the city of moscow, there are more and more of them, and the temples are filled with people in response to skeptical statements people who opposed the construction of temples, why is this necessary, and so not all... they are not filled only on holidays, meaning churches in old moscow, but today our new churches are filled, and there is no sign that they will stop filling, but for this to be so, very it is important to remember about your children, about your grandchildren, to bring them to the temple of god, so that they come to replace you all, in the good sense of this... replace you in standing before the lord and in prayers for your family, loved ones, for the people ours, for our

fatherland. that is why it is so important that every parish has work with children, with youth, so that a new generation of orthodox people will be raised who love their temple with the temple connecting their lives. as a token of gratitude, i would like to present this one, to be honest.

and in order not to go astray, you just have to go hold the rope, it’s just such

a blizzard that you can go astray and die, that’s where people hold on tightly to the rope, knowing that there are no jokes, that’s how we have to in our lives hold tightly to the rope of faith, to the church, so as not to stray on a smooth path, because the demon is very he knows how to raise such a whirlwind and confuse his head. so that no one ever fools us again and so that our people never stray from the path on which we are walking, holding tightly to the rope of faith, may god's blessing remain over our country, our people over all of us, amen, once again happy holiday congratulations, lord, church.
