god. in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit. today, worship in this holy temple is accompanied by special feelings. before the relics of st. philip, metropolitan of moscow, who in life was a holy and wise man. and this personal

holiness elevated him so much in the faces of his contemporaries that he was deeply pious. tsar ion vasilyevich, who revered the clergy, revered shrines, built churches , brought him closer to himself, and was happy to communicate with such a spiritual man, and it seemed that nothing foreshadowed a catastrophe, a tragedy, but it happened, and it happened because at that time the tsar ion vasilievich. nicknamed gronzny, fought against the opposition represented by the boyar duma. having become king, he realized personal responsibility for the fate of the country. and, of course, he knew how many conflicting interests collide in the boyar duma, how

the boyars fight for their power, for their means material, for one to become superior to another, and so on. this group of people is called the boyars. and so, being in a state of constant anxiety, and resulting from this anxiety, special vigilance in relation to the activities of the boyar duma, the tsar was very , very careful in showing

trust in the boyars. the evil slander of the enemy instilled in the tsar a feeling of suspicion towards the metropolitan. he suspected him of actions that were dangerous to himself, as if the metropolitan was more inclined to support the boyar duma than to support his personal

support, realizing that the metropolitan himself was an outstanding person, in all likelihood, distinguished, of course, by morbid suspicion, he inspired himself that danger to his throne could come from the metropolitan, which did not correspond to any reality, at some point when these suspicions began to develop into a kind of obsessive state of the king, he makes a decision, a terrible decision, to kill the saint. sends the monastery where the saint was located his closest, intimate, confidant a man, malyutos kuratov, who then headed the cause, whose task

was primarily to monitor the internal life of punishment, up to and including the death of people who could pose a danger to the king. so he sends this malyuta to the metropolitan. entering the cell of saint philip, malyutoskuratov strangled him with a pillow. he killed the saint. later, the kings in this temple at the tomb of st. philip asked forgiveness for theirs. for his terrible act of killing a holy man of god, but this heavy page, it is not washed away by any repentance, no explanations, the holy metropolitan

was killed on the direct orders of the tsar, this is perhaps the saddest, most tragic story: of centuries-old russia, it is especially acutely experienced by people who know history and come to these holy walls, because here the saint stood in my place. there stood the tsar, and the tsar did not like that the saint was surrounded by such honor, respect and love, and from this hostility arose the desire to kill the metropolitan, in whom the tsar saw the informal leader of the then political opposition, history in she sorted everything out and made her own verdict... st. philip was not guilty of anything, the king was to blame because of his incontinence,

maybe even because of his illness, those who instigated the king, who did not stop him, were to blame, or maybe the king would have reconciled himself, so, of course, the murder of the saint was some kind of collective evil act, but it is impossible to hide the truth of god, this is the truth. after all, for all times, for all peoples and for our time, sometimes we do something bad, thinking that no one sees or hears, but the lord sees everything hears, starts something bad, the husband in relation to his wife, but does so that she does not see or hear, but the lord sees, hears , the wife does something bad in relation to her husband, thinking, but does not recognize, but the lord sees he hears that all this will be revealed at the last judgment. and will serve to punish people who, while married, may have committed

unkind, evil and sinful things against each other. i gave an example of marriage, but this can generally be attributed to friendly relations, or simply neighborly relations, relations between colleagues, relationships with everyone we meet in life. we have been taught by these events, taught that we never... we must achieve our goals with evil, especially with such evil that can cause irreparable damage to the person against whom we are directing these means, never, this is not a washable sin, no career, no political gain, no material acquisitions created due to this life catastrophe, never...

kill, but harm another person, well, remember the story with malyuta with kuratov and with saint philip, how malyuta entered history. russia as a monster, a murderer, and saint philip as a holy man. we learn all this from the history of our church, we learn what under no circumstances should be done. and at the same time we learn what we must be so that even human sin and human evil plans cannot be crushed.
