a great feat throughout his life, when we talk about the fact that he saved us, then we must clearly understand what the whole meaning is, what the content of that sermon is, which opens the door to salvation for us, in this sermon there is something that may not be found in other teachings. lord. told us all that the main law of human life is love, this feeling, sublime and beautiful, is the highest value, by achieving which a person gains salvation, but the love that the lord speaks about is not exactly the love that we encounter. everyone watching

movies or reading books, this is the love that is associated with sacrifice, but the love of a mother is that same love, because she is ready to give her life... for a child, love the savior extended so far that he gave up his human life for us, this is the kind of love he calls all of us to be his students and followers, and let’s now imagine if this is the law of life that governs our actions, but what will life be like if every person is able to love another person? so much so as to have the strength to sacrifice much that he possesses, it may also seem to many that these words, well, some such from another life, from some such a fantastic area that has no direct relationship to reality, this is not so,

everything that the lord taught us has a direct relationship to our life, not a single word of his was idle. his life, which had a lot of sorrow and even tragedy, was not idle either. we know that he suffered , died, but not just like that, he died, but died so that we all had the opportunity to live spiritually, so that we all had the opportunity to fulfill. his law is to be happy. the lord showed us the way to salvation, salvation - this is a synonym for human happiness, a synonym for the fullness of human life. we are now beginning to perform divine services,

through which we will, as it were, enter into this mystery, the coming of the lord into this world. themselves, so that the lord gives strength to go through the path of life in such a way as not to perish spiritually, not to be encumbered by sin, freed from sin, which is nothing more than a crime before god, to find happiness in

this life and salvation in eternal life. once again, i congratulate all of you, my dears, on the great holiday of the nativity of christ. and may it help all of us, lord, should be strengthened in faith, in hope, in love, including through prayer, which now lies before us all. may god's blessing remain over all of you, over our people, over our fatherland, over the world in which we live, and we believe that through prayer the lord gives to those who sincerely believe that god hears. our prayers for the upcoming holiday of the nativity of christ. so, the service begins. thanks to the live broadcast, you and i can participate in this sacred rite,

a natural and entirely appropriate tribute to the faith that... professes a significant part of our fellow citizens. the church in our country is separated from the state. it does not pretend to have any political role, but undoubtedly plays a consolidating role, showing concern for the spiritual and moral state of society, making its contribution to the creation of civil harmony, establishing among the people the inappropriate gospel ideals of mercy and peace. and those who love us and those who hate us, who commanded us unworthy, pray for them, all your people remember, lord our god, pour out your rich mercy on all, giving to everyone

it is impossible for all people, regardless of social status or material wealth, to share the joy of christ’s nativity with everyone else. polish! christmas message. patriarch

of moscow all russia kirill, archpastors-pastors, deacons and monks to all faithful children of the russian orthodox church. beloved, lord, archpastors, honorable presbyters and deacons, god-loving monks and nuns, dear brothers and sisters, the ineffable love of god has gathered us now, so that in the unity of the spirit and the union of peace, to celebrate one of the most solemn , at the same time, mysterious holidays of the church, the birth of our lord, jesus. glorifying the coming of the savior into the world, i cordially congratulate all of you, my dears, on this joyful event, which has opened a new era in the relationship between god and people. every time,

looking at what happened two thousand years ago, we try to comprehend the greatness and miracle of the incarnation of god, and we never cease to be amazed at the goodness. and the mercy of our creator, for many centuries humanity has languished in tense anticipation of the promised lord the reconciler, the righteous king who saves, in whose name the nations will trust. and so, when the fullness of time finally came, a child was born to us, so that whoever believes in him... would perish, but have eternal life. the love of god, which surpasses understanding, sent into the world not an intercessor, not an angel, not a strong and powerful ruler, as people thought, god himself

became incarnate to free man from the power of sin and evil. worthy of amazement is the greatest event in history. about which the old testament prophets proclaimed, and which even the outstanding thinkers of antiquity had a presentiment that it would happen so modestly, outwardly unnoticeable, bethlehem slept, jerusalem slept, all judea slept, the lord almighty, the king of kings, the ruler of the universe, did not appear to the world under solemn sounds. voice and general rejoicing, but humbly meekly, in the silence of the night of a wretched cave, sung by a host of angels and a few shepherds who came to see what had happened. at the very beginning of his earthly

journey, the lord seemed to want, within the limits of humiliation , to show an image of virtue, he reflects saint john chrysostom. only perfect love acts so nobly, which does not seek its own, does not put itself on display and does not demand the honor of glory, but is ready to endure all the hardships of sorrow for the benefit of its neighbors. that is why, the ecumenical teacher of the church continues: the lord accepts my body so that i can accommodate his word and accept.

according to the creator's intention, the whole meaning of human life is for us to love each other, but how to achieve this in a world where there is so much evil and hatred? to do this, first of all, you need to open and give your heart to god. only he can change and expand it so that it, now so weak and limited, becomes able to accommodate those near and far, both those who do good and

those who offend us. all those whom we are called to love according to the commandment of christ, imitating in perfection our heavenly father. bowing in prayer before the newborn god-child, let us think, what gift will we offer to the rulers of the universe, can there be anything at all? worthy and commensurate with the greatness of the eternal creator. yes, there is such a valuable gift that the lord desires most of all. our humble, loving and merciful heart. let us glorify the incarnate christ not only with beautiful songs and congratulatory messages, but above all with good deeds. let's share the light. christmas joy with those in need, we will warm you with our care,
