this is where our program ends, but a new summer day is just beginning, we wish you a successful summer, not just a summer day, it’s a whole weekend, so everyone have a good time with barbecues, picnics, fishing time with loved ones, see you on the first channel, bye. to saint philip, metropolitan of moscow of all russia and wonderworker, let us pray, saint, my god. we magnify,

we magnify, we connect, our god, saw, isti. in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit, we remember today the memory of st. philip, metropolitan of moscow, saint of god, who became famous for many virtues, starting with his service on solovki and ending with martyrdom. he did not die, as

the ancient christians died in pagan rome, no one demanded that he renounce god or his ministry, but the formidable king, asserting his sole power, suspected that the metropolitan... of course, great influence on the boyar class, that he can be that person, being a boyar from a boyar family, having one who will move the boyars to resist the formidable tsar, and maybe even encroach on the tsarist power itself, these were fears that had no basis, then... ivan the terrible

was not a completely healthy person mentally, unbalanced, as some luminaries of medicine claim, studying his life, but so that there was no reason for this madness, the result was a terrible crime, the innocent saint, who gave birth for the good of russia, for the good of holy orthodoxy, humble, pious, beautifully preaching the word of god, fell from the hand of the insane tsar. and remains on the sidelines the question is about the causes of this madness, either illness, or the spell of evil power. god knows what agitated the king. but he committed a terrible crime. and therefore, when now some... representatives of our

patriotic forces are almost demanding from the patriarch the canonization of ivan the terrible, i answer everyone, i take the opportunity from this ambo, i answer, there can be no canonization, this does not mean that we do not value historical merits of sovereign ivan, that we are not aware of the important political mission that he... carried out, but all this is not the reason it cannot be for canonization, so i ask you to consider this topic closed, but as for st. philip, he fell as an innocent victim, was killed by evil power, but how did the lord jesus christ fall? and was

nailed to the cross, perhaps for some guilt, for some crimes, but not at all, for the same reason that metropolitan philip... was killed, and whatever, the engine of this hatred that led the lord's death on the cross had power, so here too there was power. in other words, the saint is for us the greatest example of fidelity church, genuine love for his flock, humility, patience, and, of course, courage, spiritual courage, today we remember with special feeling his feat in life and his difficult but blessed death. through the prayers

of st. philip, may the lord protect the russian land, may the lord protect our church, our city, moscow, the authorities and armies and all of us. we believe that saint philip stands before the face of god, and of course, out of their love for the earthly fatherland, they offer up their prayers from him, once again we say, turning to the saint, with your prayers, may he preserve lord, russian land, amen, we congratulate you on this holiday,

fatherland, i would say, i will not be afraid, so to speak, on this day i would like to cordially greet you all, in the place of the ascetic labors of st. sergius, here is the example of st. sergius

testifying to the power of god, after all, it is said that god, by his power, can make the children of abraham out of stones, he can out of a humble monk. to make the leader of an entire huge nation, a person capable of inspiring, at the most difficult moment of the then history, the people to fight, and not just inspire, but convince, that victory would certainly be for our fatherland, everyone understood that if the reverend says so, if he calls to go to war, then... after all, he does not call to go to war for the sake of destruction, only for the sake of salvation, this is the faith, including in the reverend , in his legal strength, in his piety, in his life feat, and became that inspiring signal

that really sent our soldiers to the kulikovo field, where...

to st. sergius and, of course, to the courage and heroism of our soldiers who won real victory on... over the enemy, this one history, it testifies that the power of god is made perfect in weakness, but in what kind of weakness, if weakness is from our laziness, from our weakness, from our reluctance to learn, from our reluctance to carry out the feat, then there will be no benefit from such weakness, in addition to the harm for oneself, which laziness... is also for those around him, but the lord always

promotes those who go part of their way towards the result that is sought. this is something we must all understand well, the grace of god does not automatically make us children of abraham, it does not automatically grants us victory, and therefore equals. with prayer, which attracts god's grace to us in the events we experience, we must remember that part of the responsibility for the results that lies with us. and this applies not only to fateful battles or some historical moments, this generally applies to many moments of our personal professional activity.

from god, from the divine commandments, and not just a refusal, they refused in the past, moreover, there is a desire to build a powerful, mighty, universal civilization, without god, without any hope in his providence, solely relying on our own strength, we know from the old...

leads to those results that are so necessary today in order to preserve the true

sovereignty of the country, its freedom, its independence, and therefore spiritual and material prosperity. this is what our prayers should be about today. once again i want to say that at a fateful time the lord promised you and me, dear bishops, to carry out archpastoral service. dear fathers, i also remind you of this time, so that everyone carries out his pastoral ministry with boldness, sparing no effort. and turning to our believers, to our people, i urge you to preserve the orthodox faith, to strive to organize your life, personal, family, public, state, in accordance with god's law, so that...
