we have been going to him for almost a year, don’t let us down, be happy.

moment and attracts people, because everyone becomes, as it were, an accomplice in this process. the church understood that it was necessary to speak with contemporaries in a language that they understood, and metropolitan kirill of smolensk and kaliningrad, the current patriarch of moscow and all russia, became such a voice of the church. it was he who found this intonation, he formulated this idea that... and most importantly, how to talk with

contemporaries about the life of the church, about the doctrine of the eternal gospel truths. almost every a person can say where he will be, in hell or heaven. this is all that you and i are experiencing, this is what we will take with us.

comes into conflict with his life, with his actions towards a person. firstly, i would like to say about the impression that the broadcast of the shepherd’s word made on me when i first saw it and since then i have become its regular viewer. i was still a schoolchild then, i had just come to church, was baptized at a conscious age, and when i saw this program for the first time, i became its regular viewer, in many episodes that i later greedily... literally, i’m not afraid of this word , i watched and was really looking forward to it, i found a huge number of answers to the questions that occupied me, i know that i’m not alone, that indeed for many this saturday program was and remains a window into the world of faith, and many people, precisely through these programs, came to church, discovered god for themselves, discovered the beauty of our orthodox faith, when we are asked, what does faith give, what can it give?

modern man, educated, rich, possessing knowledge, possessing technologies, well, what can your ancient faith give, we answer, it gives strength that no machine, no mechanism, no knowledge, no power can give, it is internal... necessary, the only question is that once yes , therefore, the word of the shepherd, in principle , regardless of what year it was, it was impossible, then it became possible, and if we talk about the early nineties, it seems to me that for many it was just such... well, a revelation, or something,

the concept of evil, its origin. this is the hardest thing concept in christian doctrine and in religious philosophy in general. and he is a late soviet man in this sense with such an unclouded virgin consciousness of a child regarding religious issues, that is, this is this tossing between some kind of psychics, between the fact that something exists somewhere, but what and where i have not yet i understood, i already understood that there was something, but i didn’t understand that in this situation, it seems to me, just... this program, it was the main source of such a fundamentally justified and true statement of the church’s position on issues doctrines on issues of the christian faith, this is the salvation that we gain and which opens the door to eternity, because it is

already the reality of our earthly life, if a person has joy based on the harmonious fullness of inner life, then this means that it would be salvation, he already saved, and joy is the outer manifestation of this state of mind. i think that at that time the significance of this program was really very serious, because for the first time people heard from the main television screens about what god is, they heard some answers to their questions, especially then in this situation of such a very difficult vacuum, it seems to me that many were looking and many were going in the wrong direction, so to speak, but here such a beacon was given.

why are we still alive? because we have not disappeared as a people. what is this mysterious community that unites people? this is a certain community of thoughts, spirit, moral values ​​that define such a concept as

a people. what forms the spiritual basis in a person? it shapes her. faith, faith changes and people disappear. the past 30 years have shown that this program not only became the voice of the church, but it also carried and still carries an educational component. many people have received answers to questions that are important to them in life. good morning, dear tv viewers, our program continues to receive requests.

that in 30 years, more than 1,500 programs have been aired, all of them are interesting.

our eyes open, we gain vision, we penetrate into the meaning of human existence, we become. capable of building their lives in accordance with the most important law human happiness, with the law of love, which god wished to lay at the basis of our human relationships. now i often attend the services of his holiness, there has not been a single case when the patriarch’s sermon... touched on certain ephemeral things that are not tied to today’s life, although it seemed that

the church’s sermon was a sermon about the eternal, about what is beyond this life, but it is all connected with today, be it some tragic, sad events in our lives, what tv channels are covering today, what today is the current news here now, and of course, the position of the church, so the question today is important, it is important for everyone, as a reflection. according to the existence of this world, in order to develop a full-fledged position, you need to know the position of the church. it is very important to understand that the church, in carrying out its mission, did not specifically sculpt a certain cultural image, a certain cultural figure of the russian person, it dealt with his soul, the value system in which the person lived. moral orientation of the individual, and of course, in this area there are no

forces equally great in relation to the church that would thus influence the formation of the cultural matrix of our people. it seems to me that the word shepherds program became a kind of founder of such formats of direct communication with the audience, with people. and, of course, a significant number of letters began to arrive, these letters were passed on to me,

on the basis of these letters , in general, subsequent programs were created, although my initial idea was to introduce people to the orthodox faith, but even in the context of a religious narrative, one must always keep in mind the true spiritual needs of people. and try to structure our work in such a way as to satisfy these needs, so that the program never becomes so, you know, narrowly cultural, and working only for some very small sector of our public, it should be for everyone, so that including people, not only christians listened to it with pleasure, understood it, but also perhaps perceived something useful for themselves, in general, it should be for all the people, which is why at one time, it was truly the grace of god, i managed to include this program in

the work of the first channel, so i am grateful to everyone who ensured the very existence of such a program, to those with whom i worked very friendly in subsequent years. hello, there is a news release on channel one, in the studio maxim sharafuddinov and briefly about the main thing. an attack from an extremely low altitude, footage from the northern military district zone at work, our attack aircraft and the eyes of artillerymen. it is impossible to hide from them either day or night, the all-seeing eye does not abandon aerial reconnaissance.
