“teacher, jesus walked the human journey to the end, on the last night he was left absolutely alone, without help, without support, without consolation. we had a story when relatives do not understand the significance of the last minutes of life, and these are very important minutes in a person’s life, in particular, an old man was dying in a hospice, and his son came to him, and he asked: “son, take me home, why don’t you feel bad here? ” ok, i'll pick you up in 3 weeks, but i don't i’ll live, i’ll live, we’ll have another drink together, take it, i won’t take it, the old man understands that they won’t take him and says: listen, but you can’t have a dog, and so to speak, his son says, no problem, the dog is in the car, will it be allowed? bring, well, we allow, brings the dog,

goes to the owner, his face lies, the dog has tears, whines, the dog has tears, the owner has tears, and a day later he was gone, when the lord was praying in the garden of gethsemane and praying in... "why is christ crying, why is he clearly afraid, because he shares the grief, fear, and mental suffering of all people, just as on the cross he shares physical suffering. of all world religions

, only christianity has the idea that god suffers with people, but from this idea the most difficult question arises, which for many has become the reason for the collapse of faith. why does the lord allow evil, illness, war, disaster. yes, sometimes people want, and i want this, i understand this very well, for god to come down, like -

god would really like to intervene, would really like to stop someone’s hand with a knife, you know, someone's loaded machine gun, there, someone 's suicide belt, he would like to, he would like to, but he cannot, because he limited his freedom at the stage at which adam and eve committed the first sin of deviating from him, this is not that there was a man living there.

the idea of ​​punishment, it is not a very christian idea, god does not punish anyone at all, and as the saint said, god has one desire to have mercy and mercy, another thing is that a person cannot be pardoned by force, a person who has been running away from god all his life, who everyone came to him, he won’t be able to to be in this, you know, like you did some kind of nasty thing to a person, but they don’t know or even knows there, and you come to him and think how he is, what he is now, and he says: listen, i i still love you very much, and i want you. to fall

down there, so that, well, well, it’s impossible, if your conscience has not yet been burned, then it begins to incinerate you, multiply this, if by a million, this is the relationship between man and god. when you begin to understand that not only you need god, but god needs you, that's it this feeling of reciprocity, the feeling that god needs you and he loves you, this is an amazing moment, out of love for people, says the gospel, god became a man, and in order to pull people out of eternal death, he had to go through death himself, like can one understand oneself, how can one imagine oneself? he is like a person next to this death, he needs to accept this death as a person, and he accepts it, like this, through such terrible torment. jerusalem resident simon of cyrene

was returning home from the field, where his wife was waiting for him. and two young sons. tomorrow is a holiday. simon did not understand anything, he had seen such processions more than once, but it shocked him with some kind of mocking cruelty, the condemned man could no longer stand on his feet. to the side, come to the side, i said to the side, but there’s nowhere, come here, i said , listen, move away, living space, well, don’t push like back, i said, disperse, this

is impossible, that’s enough already. he can’t walk, can’t you see, so help, that’s all, simon managed to think, and his wife, children, what will happen to them and put his shoulder under crossbar. this episode, of course, is about each of us, how ready we are to go into hopelessness, you know, where in human terms nothing shines, where

all the laws of this world say the opposite. a feat is not necessarily alexander matrosov with machine guns or something similar heroic. a feat in the christian understanding is the daily taking up of this very cross, these are the daily choices that a person consciously makes. met a homeless child at night, he asked us to call the police so that the police took him because he is afraid. i was faced with a choice, either open the door, unknown to whom, and expose my family

to some kind of danger, or, well, somehow try to do something, so to speak, for him, that’s another way. so i called the police, found this duty unit, i don’t know, i still don’t understand whether it arrived or not, it’s a patrol group, in the morning this child was no longer there, when we opened the door, on our handle, in the door handle a bouquet of such wild flowers was stuck in, this bouquet just completely killed me. that is you can come up with any excuses for yourself, there’s family, safety and so on, but inside i still had, i still had the feeling that no, it’s not like that, i had to act, god gave

a moral law in the heart of every person, people really understand what’s good and what is bad, and many were able to express this with great force, history knows a lot. great teachers who called to fight the imperfections of the world, preached love and goodness, captured the minds of people, and became the founders of new faiths. uniqueness christ is not what he preached. a unique moral teaching, he did not do this, and he did not even pretend to be, he is a teacher, yes, but this is not the main thing in his mission, he is a savior, he is the one who came to give us eternal life. according to the gospel, when in the desert the devil tempted jesus three times and found himself powerless, he retreated, but only until the time, his time came at calvary, the last temptation of christ, the temptation of hatred. and the contempt of people, those people who had recently greeted him as a king.
