good afternoon, comrades of suvorov, priest, let us pray before the lesson, as usual with you, to the heavenly king, the comforter of the soul of truth and everywhere, filled with the treasure of good things and the giver of life, come enter into purification from all filth and save our blessed souls. now you and i are in

the church of the holy apostle and evangelist john the theologian. it is located in the building of the former seminary, which is now sheltered by the minsk suvorov military school, that is, this temple is the home temple of this educational institution. and here services are performed, worship is performed, and of course, the most important thing. liturgy is celebrated here, and suvorovites have the opportunity to be communicants not only of the oral sermon of the clergy, but also to be participants sacraments, confession, sacraments of communion, to be involved in the liturgical life of the church, some of the suvorov students help the priest in the altar, take out candles, serve codil, thereby...

the peculiarity of this institution is that the students here are all male, churches, predominantly our parishioners, these are representatives of the fair half of humanity, in life it so happens that the main leadership positions, naturally, all the main... positions in the army, and most importantly in the family, are occupied by a man, a man is the head of the family. suvorovites , by the way, after graduation, they also have the right to dedicate themselves not only to military service, they often become sovereign men, occupy important positions that influence the life of the state, the life of the people, here the church has a unique opportunity

to communicate with men, talk to them about the most important thing, because the most important thing for a man is god, that’s how it was customary to say hello, a man was always responsible for the relationship with god, a man always stood guard over the spiritual security. it must also be said that a clergyman and a person liable for military service are united by security. the church is primarily responsible for the spiritual. the safety of a person , for the safety of his soul, the church really wants that after death a person’s soul is alive, capable of life in the next century, a free person and living with god, this is the goal of our salvation, the svorovites have those liable for military service, they also have their own security, they are responsible for the safety of the body, for the preservation. borders of the state, for

our, so to speak, physical safety, we complement each other, it is impossible to defend the state without preserving your own soul, without preserving... your own spiritual state morally pure, otherwise you will do more harm than good, but we, the church, also need to be protected by the earthly, we we need defenders, an army, so that we can preach calmly, can perform divine services calmly, and thereby serve god and the people.

our main event that is held here is the weekly orthodox hour. with suvorovites, where we talk about biblical history, we tell the law of god, we tell it on the main holidays, the main holidays of the church, we also tell the life of ascetics, glorified as saints, but also who connected their lives with military affairs. each company is assigned a priest; he is considered the confessor of his company, where he conducts his classes. of course, we pay the main attention to spiritual security, with spiritual knowledge, because military people, in the future, they will be in special situations that a civilian does not face, they need will make decisions that we, ordinary people, may never

have to make in our lives, so we often discuss situations with them at what point we can exercise the right to... take the life of another person, at what point it it’s impossible, where is the line here, when it should not be crossed under any circumstances , what the church blesses in war, what the church considers unacceptable in any case, children are also very interested in the topic of family, they love to listen, to be interested in all sorts of rules, what can help them create a good family in the future, what can they... treat their parents and their future as well as child-parent relationships, like children, they are also interested in issues of marital

relations, the topic of family is also in demand today in others institutions , education, because such... our educational institutions, maybe this is not their task, this is probably the task of the church, and maybe it is not fully covered in showing the family from the point of view of christian teaching and telling about god, but also those questions that everyone constantly encounters, there is no person who would not think about the meaning of life, about god, and these are live dialogues, sincere dialogues, for example, we have also been cooperating for more than 13 years with the thirty-third gymnasium of the city of minsk, one of the best gymnasiums of the republic of belarus, thanks to the very active position of the director oksana

borisovna yakubovskaya, who loves her students and wants to give them the most precious and most important thing, this is with. communicate to spiritual knowledge, introduce them to the life of the church, give them knowledge about family. in fact, a priest, here i am, when i serve in a parish, most of the parishioners’ questions are most often connected with the family, these are child-parent relationships, these are marital relationships, and of course, some other personal issues in terms of personal spiritual life, and over time also i...

we say that the best thing is prevention, it is best to find out in advance, consult with a priest in advance, because it is often very difficult to correct something. it is possible, but some things cannot be corrected at all, and i conduct such courses at the church of the archangel michael in the city of minsk, this is the sukharevo microdistrict, where we gather, study the bible using the example of families from the bible, the example of marital relationships from the bible, the example of how god treats a person, a family in the holy scriptures, we also we look at how... we people should live, how to build our families, so that they are filled with

bliss, prepared for god for the family. my parents were born in the city of novomoskovsk, tula region, my father graduated. on october, which produced a means of communication, my parents moved in this way, then still in the bssr, and accordingly, i also

moved there with them, then my father, he all the time, as he said, in his words, he always wanted to be a priest, on my father’s side, my grandmother, my great-grandmother were very religious people, my great-grandmother had 14 children, and my grandmother was the fourteenth of this family. she was from the nobility, she valued her faith very much, she was a very pious person, her husband was a cleric of the temple, he served in the temple in those days , all her children begged all males to live returned to the great patriotic war, this desire to serve god, of course, was passed on to my father, my dad, he was about 38 years old. he decided to become a priest, he really wanted to work for the good of the church,

it wasn’t easy, in those days everything was more complicated than now, his father was a very courageous man who was faithful to god, uh, faithful to his duty, he built, after ordination, he built a temple in the city of baran, in honor of the transfiguration of the lord, and also founded a lower temple in honor of venerable sergius. sky in the city of baran, then he moved to another place of ministry, to the city of gorki, where he built a temple in honor of the most holy theotokos, the bread-winner. my mother, she worked as a programmer at this plant, and then we have five children in our family, my mother even, in order not to send us to kindergarten for a while, worked with my father at the plant in two shifts, that is, my mother went to work at night so that during the day to be with us, dad went on the day shift, that's... it happened, and then mom, of course, looked, we have twins were born, it was almost impossible for my mother

to work, she was with the children all the time, now my mother is retired, my father had a huge influence on me, on my future life, my father and i often talked about serving in the church, the fact is that already from about 4-5 years old, i was with him at the altar, served, was a panomar, we served in a relatively small church and i was already his full-time panomar. for 5-6 years i helped him with everything, for me it was a great honor, when i grew up, i was sometimes even afraid when i thought about the priesthood, i was somehow afraid because i i wasn’t sure that i could serve as worthily as my father did, i graduated from secondary school number 15, the city of baran, and also graduated from a music school, then the question became where to go, my father advised me to go get an education. a psychologist , a practical psychologist, because he said that from his practice, most

people deal with family issues or personal psychological issues, and he said sometimes he gave me the example of st. basil the great, he said that he also first received a secular education, everything possible at that time, then he served very graciously in the field of christ, so... my father told me that i also need, first it is possible, and this is good, it will be to receive a secular education, so in 2003 i entered... . educational psychology with a degree in practical psychologist and english teacher, from which i graduated from maxim tank university in 2008, in 2009 i entered the seminary, the smolensk theological seminary, i really liked studying there, i studied in the correspondence department, but then

very important events happened in my life, i was ordained as a sandiacon, i was appointed. mikhail in the city of minsk, i was lucky enough not to move anywhere, to serve in one place. i have always worried about the church, as long as i can remember, it was always important for me when some issue was considered, how god looks at it, what is known about this issue in the holy scriptures, how the holy fathers looked at this issue, this is very important to me me was such a moment of truth for me. before how to join the clergy in the church of christ, which the lord acquired with his honest blood, of course, i joined the small church, this is the creation of a family. the fact is that i studied, in fact, in minsk there are a lot of good girls, beautiful girls, but i was always worried about the question: how to find the one

who will be my wife, i really wanted the lord to bless this matter. but i didn’t understand how to do this, even though i studied to be a psychologist, i knew a lot of things, but in fact, as the wise solomon says, the wise wife, she is from god, and when i heard these words, i prayed for a very long time, i prayed every day for about a year, i understood that this was a very important step in life, about a year later i then, when i was studying at the university , i worked part-time at all sorts of different jobs, then in the temple i met my wife, our relationship very quickly... began, from the moment we met, i proposed on the third day, because it seemed to me that i was very worried about such a girl the beautiful one was not taken away so that no one would passed, from the moment of the proposal to the moment of our wedding, 19 days passed, thus our small church was created, this is a very

grace-filled place, a family, on the one hand, on the other hand, this is a place where we need to grow to the measure of christ, this is a school of love , a place where we learn to live and love, to change ourselves. before getting married, i asked my wife how many children she wants, she says three, i say, okay, i say , come on, i say, at least, no less, if god willing, everything will be fine, and with health situation, today the lord has had mercy on our family and given us... six children, great help, this is the joy that comes from the family, this is from my wife, she is very cheerful, a cheerful person who loves holidays, her middle name - this is a holiday and joy, and thus it greatly supports the internal psychological microclimate in the family, being a father of many children

is a great honor and blessing from god for me, the fact is that my father, he was the only one child... in the family, but it was due to the fact that my grandmother and grandfather , they went through a hard life, concentration camps, they were taken to germany, my grandmother did not have health, the opportunity to give birth to more than one child, so my father grew up alone in the family, he always told us, he says: child, he says, god forbid he grows up alone in a family , live, if god willing, give birth, he says, he says, all difficulties are surmountable, he says, you will cope with all this, so that somehow... somehow at least cope a little in the big a family, first of all, needs, so to speak, a schedule or routine, otherwise chaos begins, and this is already scary , we have a routine in our family, we try to stick to it, sometimes it gets disrupted, but then we try to return to it, this makes our family life a lot easier,

our family values, of course, this is the most important thing for our spouse to raise christians so that... our children are christians, our activities in the family, if we break it down into three parts like this, into spiritual, mental, physical, as for the spiritual, we try to pray together, we also try always read the bible, i must say that my love for the bible passed on to me from my grandmother, because my grandmother on my father’s side, she was a believer, she always for her the bible and the psalter were such a center of life, by the way i taught... i didn’t learn to read our alphabet, but first learned to read in church slavonic, but my grandmother didn’t have the alphabet, she said, here’s the book, pointed to the psalter, she said, this is... come on , she says, this grandson, read, love for by the way, she gave me the bible, and i i also try to pass this on to my children, we read the bible, we read the law of god, and then

we hope that the lord will somehow allow these grace-filled words to grow in our hearts in the hearts of our children. as for emotional relationships, this is probably the most important thing for us. when i received my psychological education, i translated many. foreign article, for me the psychological climate is not an empty word, in particular, we always try to have, so to speak , physical contact with the children and spouse after morning and evening prayers, we we always hug each other, each one separately, each one hugs each other, we talk, because the whole day is ahead, so that some kind of charge of love, i don’t know, tactile memory... hugs are enough for the whole day until the evening, in the evening the same thing happens at the coming sleep, on a simple level, on a bodily level, in our family

, we try to be varied, my wife tries very hard to cook tasty, a lot, and most importantly - it’s healthy, we have been around for a long time, probably 13 years already, switched to healthy... food, i have a small mill at home , wheat, we make flour ourselves, my wife cooks only with whole grain flour, so we bake our own bread for more than 13 liters, she cooks cakes with whole grain flour, so she tries to prevent anyone from using sugar in children's food so that the children grow up healthy, we also try to give the children a musical education, with the exception of the last two... the last boys, who are almost a year old, we all receive a musical education, the children also participate in dances, folk dances, they perform in folk, this type of dance.

my eldest son played football, did biathlon successfully, but at some point he was injured , it took a long time to recover, now he just plays sports for himself, my daughter likes to lead, do exercises, she seems to me like a future... .she will like to do some kind of fitness training in the future, i also have children, especially girls, they love to cook, probably their spouse betrayed this love to them, and i tell them: kids, learn to cook, learn from your dad, from your mom , because when you come to the family, there will be a husband, you will much easier, we like to participate in some projects as a family, my wife, she is a creative person, she was involved in theater, productions, here she is... we perform in sunday school during the holidays, also my wife, she loves to take photographs, she is a professional is engaged in this, we were encouraged to go to a photo shoot, in nature

we got very good photos, which were exhibited at the exhibition in the national library, as some kind of incentive to show the beauty, large families, as for me personally, my parents brought me from childhood very varied interests. to sports, i just like to run , i like to skate, my mother always went to the skating rink with me as a child, you know, the nineties were not the easiest years, especially in baran, so it was necessary to go with my parents, my father in his busy schedule, although i rarely saw him at home, he found time to go skiing with me as a child, i don’t forget this, it was such an impression, because he usually returned late, when it was already dark and she said that do, let's go, and we're already we drove into the rez when it was dark. you’re rushing there, rushing down a hill in the forest , and it’s dark there , you can barely catch the trees, it’s certainly an indescribable experience, i myself loved

playing basketball very much, but now i don’t have the opportunity to do it, i mostly i have time, i swim, go to the pool , run, i like to run in nature, you just somehow run, silence, nature, somehow it has a very positive effect, one of my hobbies is, of course, reading. in silence, people with many children have one like this, you know, it seems to me that all people with many children have such a hobby, this is to be in silence and to be alone, that is, they need such time to recover, this is to read, lie down or do something, some kind of work, well , alone, that concerns still having a large family, i would like to say that the family is a divine project, god established the family , the lord created the universe, the lord created man as... the crown of all creation, then the lord saw that it was not good for man to be alone and created him a wife. if you asked me if i would like to change something in my life, live a different life, have a me...

prayer for help to god, so that god would help him change himself, help him give peace in the family. by the way, my wife and i try to take care of the relationship between our children, so that they are peaceful, so that when they grow up, they are friends with each other, because a brother and sister are forever, it’s not like in kindergarten: today i’m friends with one, tomorrow i’ll be friends with someone else, you can’t change the character of a brother and sister much, but you need to be friends, communicate and

sincerely. to do this and to give joy in life, then the family becomes small church, there is a lot of joy, a lot of life , it’s fun, it’s happy, and in general , well, now we’re talking about a family with many children, but if before there were many children, it was from five children, that’s because even when we count, we say one child, two children, three children, four children, but we say five children.

everyone will watch how the head of state makes his choice, but then journalists have a lot of questions. the arrival of the head of state here at polling station 478 in minsk, we are literally waiting here from minute to minute. a huge number of media representatives, belarusian and foreign, were accredited at the event, everyone wants to take advantage of the unique opportunity

to ask their question to the head of state. voters receive two ballots, this is an innovation of this company, these are ballots for the elections of deputies, the house of representatives and the minsk city council of deputies. in regional and district centers there are three ballots, but in rural areas there are four. polling stations across the country opened at 8 a.m. sharp. in your elections just over a third of voters did so in advance during early voting.

the country has approached the current elections significantly, having updated a number of the most important elements of the political system, amendments and additions have been made to the constitution, and legislation regulating the activities of political parties and public associations has been improved. yes, all this made it possible to get rid of numerous structures that existed only on paper, or those that were managed or financed from outside. well, let me remind you that we are located in the 478th section of the city. minsk, we are expecting the head of state to arrive here any minute; alexander lukashenko will vote here at his place of residence. by the way, such a nuance, with all the importance of party building in belarus, most of you...
