life, not i myself, not someone else, but christ our lord, he is the center of my christ, in fact, all our ascetic efforts, they are aimed at this, that’s when christ becomes the center of life, then we, as the apostle paul, yes, who was a man, of course, was a man with inherent sins, but at the same time he was absolutely chaste in the sense that he ... dedicated his life to serving christ, and

here his conscience did not condemn him at all, he never shirked this service, he did everything that christ commanded him, therefore , at his death, shortly before his death, when he understood that he would be killed, he wrote quite confidently in his letters to timothy that i know that the crown of righteousness is destined for me, and this made him convinced of that , that he, well, that god accepts him, he will be given the kingdom of heaven, in general, the church confirms that... this is so, but it all starts with chastity, as precisely such integrity in relation to god, and then righteousness is catching up, if i may, i’m here too i would like to dwell a little on this topic, because indeed in our country chastity is understood in a very narrow sense, it also assumes this meaning, yes, but what is important to me seems to be today for modern people, here we are in 2024 , yes chastity as integrity in a situation where modern man is

... dismantled, here he is completely, it’s not that he has no integrity in relation to christ, there is none at all, with us, yes, we have one thing in the morning, then another, fifth, tenth, here we scroll the feed, and this is us puts you in some kind of state, yes, here ’s the wiki, i wanted to ask you, but the post we’re talking about, from this point of view, it helps you gain some kind of integrity, or is it rather some kind of struggle, well, i don’t know, i don’t want to offer any answers here, but somehow you can relate what we were talking about... just now with your different experiences, as you already said, and going through lent, of course , it helps to collect myself, concentrate, because this is a special time for me, a special prayer for me, and purely relationships, i try to somehow trace the path of christ in myself and empathize with him, well, i don’t know, again the prophet zechariah said when he turned to him...

we must decide. bishop of pereslavl , clever fiactist, actress victoria bogatyreva, i’m vladimir ligoida, we have gathered our thoughts about lent. vladyka, here is a film that shocked many people about the passion of christ. what is your relationship with him? listen, when i saw it for the first time in the cinema, i saw it in the right one without translation with subtitles, right? but i honestly burst into tears and i can’t come to my senses for a long time, but this is it.

then after some time i watched it again, and somehow i started to see some of my own there, maybe yes, but somehow i wasn’t ready to cry, but i like the honesty of director mel gibson, because i think everyone knows, yes, well, in any case, i ’m sure you know that he also starred in an amazing role there, you know what, the hands driving a nail are the hands of mel gibson, and... with this he, well , expressed the christian truth that any of our a sin, especially a conscious sin, this is the nailing of the cross, of christ to the cross, it is very pleasing that there are directors of this level who understand this, feel and talk about it, there is another question, that in general the orthodox tradition, it is very careful about attempts to depict christ, although of course there are.

you see and imagine this image created by some person, yes, albeit a genius, very talented, who created a beautiful, but still a man-made image, it’s like instead of the real vladimir romanovich to present his portrait, i completely understand what you are talking about, it ’s like you read the three musketeers there, and you have, you fantasize about your own dartagnan, and you watched a wonderful, magnificent soviet film and... you always have a dartanyan boyarsky and you, in general , can’t do anything about it, yes, yes , well, this is not a feature of the film, of cinema as such, yes, of course, but of course, but you know, i don’t want to say so about mel gibson now to go into long - reasoning, although it is very interesting, but

you know what shocked me at the time, a lump in the hole, a wonderful polish director told me, i can’t, that’s about his impression, he said i can’t, i think it’s four hours, but he goes on for 3 hours. sitting in a chair for 3 hours watching christ being crucified, i can’t do this, not in the sense that i’m sobbing there, yes, well, he’s some kind of fake, fake situation, yes, he says, well, how am i a christian, for it’s alive for me, i’m sitting here, yes, well, what’s next, yes, this is a very interesting experience, i think so yes, it is the personal experience of a christian, because this is not an assessment of a person, an art. as pankshists certainly are , but you know, dear friends, soon we started talking about art and about the prayer of ephraim osirin, i cannot ignore the topic of the wonderful poem by aleksandr sergeevich pushkin, who , apparently, deeply experienced all this and, apparently,

knew , and i mean our liturgical tradition, and his magnificent poem the desert fathers and the immaculate wives, it’s actually dedicated to yes. translation of this prayer, can i ask you to read it? the desert fathers and the immaculate women, in order to fly with their hearts into the realm of absentia, in order to strengthen it in the midst of the valley 's storms and battles, composed many divine prayers, but not one of them touches me, like the one that the priest repeats during the sad days of lent. most often it comes to my lips and the fallen one. strengthens with unknown strength, lord of my days, the spirit of sad idleness, lust for power, this hidden serpent, and vain words, do not give to my soul, but give to me to contemplate my, oh god, sins, so that my brother will not accept condemnation from me, and the spirit of humility,

patience, love and chastity in my heart will come to life, like yours, these lines echo, one feels what? that our everything, he was a completely secular person and , accordingly, i am beginning to take offense for pushkin, he perceived fun in precisely this way, apparently carnal, yes, and for christians, the opportunity and specially allotted time there and somehow carry out such in-depth work over your soul, repent, change and draw closer to god, this is a period...

and this is a relatively recent tradition and only one of our local churches, perhaps the georgian church affiliated with it for a long time, perhaps also does something similar, i’m not an expert here, but in general there is such a variety of colors, well, in general -nowhere in the world except here,

let’s say the russian orthodox church abroad, it has preserved, so to speak, here is the tradition and vestments, it serves in bordeaux. you think that this shouldn’t, you know, from the point of view of the flesh, which we infringe on, forcing it to eat less and not so tasty, as usual, the flesh naturally resists and grieves, the flesh loves when everything is arranged differently, but still - for christians , as if primacy should be in spiritual joy, joy of the soul, benefits for the soul, the body is disadvantaged, i i repeat, this is how it grieves, well, worship. well, yes, well, again , all this tires the flesh, but

on the contrary it should cheer the soul, because it helps it get closer to that perfect state that god calls us all to, maybe there really is some kind of emotional pressure, and aesthetic, of a kind, but to what extent it is traditional and corresponds to the spirit of the meaning - that’s another question, well, or in the gospel... we also understand, well, apparently too carnal, well, you know, also, by the way, interesting , this is also a question about the understanding of joy, yes, it

’s like you know , another analogy came to me from another topic, i recently talked with a person who helps addicts, and he said that he says that i have a dream in the consciousness of our society to disassociate theme of the holiday with alcohol, because he says we have some kind of ironclad story, not only among us, of course, but in general among humanity, here is a table, that means, cups and so on, but it says: you can find joy in others, this is how it is, if you take it as a metaphor , yes, indeed , maybe, if i heard you correctly, how to distinguish joy, but with some kind of usually thoughtless fun, yes, associated with some kind of unbridledness, but certainly, bodily, bodily joy, you know, of course, we could do the ceremonies ourselves, so you said that today we are like this, well, how did it sound like that, i won’t quote it exactly, well, this is supposedly the problem of modern man. that we are too much and i’ll also nod and i also somehow nodded at your thoughts, but in fact

, st. athanasius the great has it in one of his epistles, and he says that the pagans celebrate like this so, for them this joy brings what brings joy to the flesh, well, we are christians, he says, for us, after all, a holiday should be something that is useful for the soul and not for the flesh, that is, what does the very appearance of these words and this message indicate, that: then the christians, this is what kind of fourth century we have there, it seems or the fifth, i could be mistaken here now, but then the christians were also somehow apparently similar to we are modern and for them, too, eating delicious food was a great joy, but i absolutely agree with you that we must distinguish this method, a dead-end worldly-pagan celebration and joy, with our christian holidays. today we have gathered our thoughts about lent. bishop, pereslavl oglich fiactist,

actress victoria bogatyreva, i’m vladimir ligoido, we continue. then , you know, i would still like to have time, so, since we went in the direction of art, here is the wonderful ivan nikolaevich kromskoy, and christ in the desert, yes, the picture that he spent 5 years painting, he finished in 1872, here it is in front of us. yes, this is the same christ in the desert, yes, that is , fasting, this forty-day fast, yes, which, as we found out later today, was connected, yes, with the idea of ​​fasting, and i was shocked by the words of the artist, yes, it’s clear that you wanted to say something, here’s your painting, yes, what else is there to explain, but it seems to me that this is important, look what he says in a letter somewhere, here he has someone asked about this picture, and he said, in the morning , tired, exhausted, tormented, he sits alone between the stones, sad, cold stones, his hands are convulsive, tightly clenched, his legs

are wounded, his head is bowed, deep in thought, he has been silent for a long time, so for a long time that his lips are parched, his eyes don’t notice objects, he doesn’t notice anything he feels that it’s a little cold, that he ’s all numb from sitting still for a long time, nothing is moving anywhere around him, only black clouds are floating on the horizon from... the runoff, what after that, is it possible to write it? and you ask yourself rightly ask, can i write christ, no, i cannot, and could not write. still he wrote, he kept writing until he put it in the frame, he wrote until others saw him, in a word, he may have committed profanation, but he couldn’t help but write, had to write, whatever you want, i couldn’t do without it, i can say

that i wrote it with tears in blood, well, in my opinion this is an amazing confession, man... holistic, was her ultimate goal, starting from the moment of release for public service , even baptism itself, the lord, in general , was moving towards this goal, and i won’t go into detail now, yes, what we are talking about, the most important thing in this path was obedience to the will

of god the father, fulfillment of it, in fact speaking, what we see here is not fatigue. not exhaustion a lenten feat or a fight with the devil, and here we see the same feeling that was fully revealed in the savior’s gepsimanian prayer, when he asked that the cup be carried past him, past him, but not my will, but yours let it be, there the evangelists testify that bloody tears are sweat, so i see in this, as a matter of fact... you get the impression of the audience, here, here there are no correct answers, but i don’t know, that’s who, who who is this in front of you, this is christ in the desert, both christ and not christ, each of us, it seems to me, oh how interesting, i

think every person has moments in life when he wants to sit down like this, fold his hands and... what’s next and how next, to do or not to do what he wants need to. christ, he is a god-man, everything that is human is not alien to him, and, well, my heart sank, looking at christ, if it was him who was depicted. there is another question: to what extent can we depict him? if we proceed from the hypothesis that this is christ, then. tries to portray, he writes about prince myshkin, but in his diaries, prince myshkin is equally christ, then he understands well, it’s impossible, well

, he paints a broken, complex person who is a positive person , and a person who loves two women ends up in... everything is very bad, and what kind of positive person is there, and the novel, excuse me, is about a positive person perfectly called an idiot, yes, it’s the same here, kromskoy, but you know, it’s amazing, i’m looking at her now, this is not from preparation, this may be, listening to you, dear friends, i thought, why do i have - in general, right now in the moment i have the impression that this is a landscape here he is somehow outside this landscape, but everything is before his eyes, from the big bang, and from the birth of the universe. before golgotha, this grief, what are you people doing, he ’s probably scared too, probably, but i don’t feel it now, i feel that i gave you life, i’m ready for you, that is, i i gave you everything, and you ask for some little things, this is what i want to ask you about at the end of our conversation, thanks to you it turned out not

sad, this is probably right, nevertheless, the experience of fasting... still lags some kind of asceticism, yes, that is, exercises are not necessarily physical, right? i’ve often come across the fact that people trying to live a church life, they take something personal for fasting, yes, knowing themselves, well, someone, i don’t know, some child there refuses to watch tv series, yes , someone there, well, for example, yes, i don’t mean a specific child now, well, something like that for me, someone there, well, i don’t know, something else, right? realizing that these are his attachments, these are the ropes that hold him, but do you have some kind of i’ll say this with ease, almost with pathos. some personal feat, big or small, personal, not related to the mandatory rules that

you have set for yourself for this post, well, for me it’s not really a feat, so i try to read the monastic text that is obligatory for every monk a rule that somehow slips away in ordinary life, that is, to remove it, this is a prayer rule, yes, which every monk must do. the moment is difficult and i understand that within the framework in which they existed, i am no longer suits me, and i need to come out

of this shell or not a shell, from the framework, not the framework, i don’t know when i will come out, i ’ll tell you what it was, and well, jesus said, know the truth and the truth will make you free, you are on the path to freedom , i want, in my opinion, this is... wonderful, what do you think, vladyka, i’m sitting, worrying a little, so, that’s why, because - here, the following phrase was said: come out of the shell, well, that is , to get out of the comfort zone, where it’s good, well , uncomfortable, these are the relationships that i have already lined up, they don’t suit me, that is , a transformation is necessary, this is great, i’m not fading the faith yet, i’m afraid that this may be painful, what? on the one hand, the goal is noble and , of course, wonderful, on the other hand, you need to understand that it simply won’t

happen, so i’m worried about the extent to which you will be able to withstand it, i hope that you will withstand it and i will pray about it, great, well, since i asked you, too i’ll answer it myself, everything is simple for me, i always try to reread one of my main books during great lent. life, this... blessed augustine, which is what i’m actually doing now, thank you very much, dear friends for this conversation, actress victoria bogatyreva, bishop, pereslavl uglich faktist, i’m vladimir ligoida, let’s fast with a pleasant fast, dear friends, let’s begin, oh , “play corvoy, i’ve arrived, hello, hello, welcome,

we are the hopeless option.
