its culture, its faith, its people, and its generosity. you will feel it once and never forget it again . everything is real here. orthodox christians from the ancestral days of the holy day rise up and the holy and minsk orthodox church descends into the temple. holy

bagarodzitsa on the streets of karpava. the great blessings are in full force here , if the new, great temple is being built, the package is only uzvodzitsa, but the small ones, aka utulny and familiar to many, the house of god is not holy latsi gauryil belastotskaga, day of remembrance of the little package, exactly 3 may, in the interim we stopped at the goal of this temple, we died in the last gray, sunny. hello, dear father georgy, hello, if we talk about your belarusian parish, such a constant one, well, not only do people come to consume, yes, some kind of sacrament, they probably participate in some kind of life, help, occupy the territory with charity, use the territory , to the extent that you are together with the parish, with the parishioners, some kind of family that interacts, you can say this, i think you correctly noted that... mm, our whole life, in general,

parish, it should not only be focused on worship, the life of the parish, it lies in the development of a certain direction of interest, that is , communication with god, not only through participation in this or that service, but in helping each other, that is, the manifestation of one’s christian qualities in everyday life, we have, for example, if there are classes in sunday school, they are continuous. and we indicate that there is an autumn semester, there is a winter semester, a spring semester, and there is a summer semester, that is, it does not stop teaching in sunday school, but in the summer we did this in the form of parish camps, when not just children go out, but families go out, when we pray together, endure each other’s weaknesses together, anything can happen, because we are all people, then of course we rejoice in some new ...

the discovery that we make for ourselves when visiting this or that country, naturally, the clergyman in my person, who travels with them, is more accessible, because he is nearby for 24 hours, people talk to me, sometimes this is let's just say, i'm leaving, well, one family left, another comes in, this continues until lunch, then after lunch, this is a little difficult, of course, but nevertheless we must understand that... people need communication both with a confessor and also with a clergyman, and who does not reveal their, say, some kind of trouble or question that arises in the family, if not the rector of the temple you go to, it is very wonderful when people, communicating in this way, in this format, show the most open, let’s say, sincere, feelings that they have them and experiences, there in front of... the clergyman

then what happens is just such a lively conversation, which manifests itself in its final form by making a certain decision, which suits both those who came to the clergyman and pleases the clergyman, because he helped people find some kind of peace of mind in the family. father george, we say that the temple attracts families, the temple itself, the parish itself, like a family, and let’s talk about... about the institution of the family, which today, probably, unfortunately, is still experiencing some is a kind of crisis, and this crisis is deepening in connection with such modern trends, well, even if you don’t look at europe, to the west, but here, you will agree that young people are not in such a hurry to get married, get married, start a family, it is very popularized in some circles and free movements, that is, not burdening yourself with childbearing. how do you look at these

questions, is it still possible for the institution of the family to survive the traditional family, how to strengthen this institution, how to develop it, how after all. give it such great popularity, especially among our future generation? you know, this is a question that probably concerns all states, without exception, the most important thing in raising a family, i remember, during my wedding with my mother, one of my uncles, who is now deceased, told me very wonderful words, uncle valera, when he came up to us with a wish, he told me one thing: he says: learn to forgive each other, everything else, he says, will follow. these are wonderful words that i carry throughout my whole life, because it is very difficult to live together if you don’t learn to do

something very good to a person, despite the fact that he may not be able to do for you what you expect. my first impression, namely... i got about the correctness of building a family life in the cathedral, when i was on duty at the church, and a young couple came and asked me if it was possible to get a divorce, i asked her , when did you get married, she said yes 3 months ago, i say, we got married, he says, yes, we got married, he says, what happened in 3 months that you want to get a divorce, need... the young guy is doing so depressed head, and she says, well, it’s impossible, you just can’t imagine, well, i say, well, just tell me, this is the most painful thing he has done at the moment, which worries you most, but here , starting with everyday issues, he he says he wears

shoes at home, i say, i mean, he wears shoes, he came from the street and wears shoes, i say, i understand, but what was customary in your family? and in our apartment they left their shoes in the vestibule, we always entered the apartment barefoot, i said, it’s so clear, he said, you don’t they tried to give him new shoes to put on, so he put his dirty ones in the vestibule, and when he comes in he puts on new shoes and walks around the apartment in them, if he wants to walk in shoes, especially since you know, i say, in germany, in the united states, in general , he wears shoes at home, maybe i’m saying that he was just joking from a past life, she laughed, he said: you know, i said, somehow i didn’t think about that proposal of yours, i said , i’ll think about it, i say, well you see, i say, you are making a very big mistake when, without understanding this or that situation, you don’t know how to forgive your loved

one for the mistake that he may have made, and he did something that is unpleasant for you, but you are not looking for a way out of it, you want to radically do as you decided, but... a family is a union of two hearts and it consists of compromises, there is no other way, if this compromise does not happen, then love is not born, because love is nurtured throughout life, it does not appear from anywhere, and does not go anywhere , it’s either there, or it’s not, or they’re working on it, working on it, watering it the tree, or it dries up and no longer produces any fruit, that’s what’s most important, probably in the family, and people... both men and women are completely different, it’s the woman who makes a man, it’s she who teaches him to be a father, grandfather, husband, on his own a man cannot understand this, only a woman teaches this, but so, as they say, she has been given the work of the lord, and if a woman does not

understand that she must work at this, she will have neither a husband, nor a father for her children, nor grandfather, who will, let’s say, live next to her in recent years and worry about her health. i always remember what men talk about, there is such a wonderful film, when they are talking, three friends are traveling across the country, through russia, through ukraine, to their friend in crimea, so they are sitting on the seashore, they see an elderly couple who was swimming, these three young men begin to envy these two old men, one says: “just look with what love he has, it’s covering him.” with his towel, and he wipes it under another towel, because the night is cold, so as not to catch a cold, he says, they probably lived their whole lives happily, that’s what they say, but i probably think that they also had quarrels, everything was different , but most importantly, they knew how

to forgive each other, love and see each other the best, if this whole to do life, then the family will work out, and there will be a result, and the children will look at us, there will also be... once again work, because, well, raising children is also a big problem, a huge problem, because well, all our hopes, perhaps all our best aspirations that we we want to see in them, which would show everything that, for example, each of us can achieve, but has not achieved, but our child will definitely achieve it, and we will be proud of it, another thing, yes, does the child want it? this is a different question, you need to ask him, of course, but there is such a concept,

about talents, huge talents are hidden in every child, and the task of the parents is to reveal them, and then the child will want to use, say, these discoveries, this will be his choice, but we definitely have to open up and help them. but as your parents raised you in your family, tell us a little about your home, your mom and dad? according to his project, he managed it all, he was also a deputy of the minsk city council,

well, my father was an ordinary welder, a simple worker, but their whole life consisted of raising our two children, that is, me and my brother , i can’t say that our family was religious, my grandmother was religious, she of course put it into me, accordingly. she was from the generation that was subjected to repressions for faith, the maternal family was deported to central asia, quite a lot returned, few people from the whole family, in my opinion, three or four only returned, and the family was very large, well , accordingly, she always spoke to me very carefully about religion, but nevertheless , i lit the first candle in the temple with her when i was in the village in yelsk. came to the trinity church, it was very surprising for me, she told me about who

is depicted on the iconostasis, what kind of horses are hanging, and , of course, she told me that - exactly on this temple, when the germans retreated during the occupation, they were rounded up to be burned, but such a situation later developed that some german officer decided that it was necessary to do differently, they were taken out, and then taken to the huwazararichi camp. the last day of its existence, my grandmother, along with her children, with mine, with my mother and her brother, were on the territory of this camp, then at night they dug a hole under the barbed wire and escaped from this camp, and so they hid in the forest until they saw soviet tanks, so this is, let’s say, the story, probably a little family, but on the paternal side, of course, they were all... people from the universal gentry were exiled to the urals for participating in the uprising against

the russian empire, well then, little by little, let’s say, the ancestors on the paternal side, at first they they lived in the southern urals, then they returned to minsk, and here it turned out that they met, my father and my mother, it was here that they met in minsk, that’s how it was. now let's talk about your family. about your children, mother raisa, your wife, how long have you been building your family, and you have already said that the main law that exists and works for you is to forgive each other, maybe there are still some basics, about children, of course, that’s how they continue you, well, children, of course, make us happy , the eldest daughter works, the eldest son turns out to be a clergyman, well...

different, accordingly, she heard me and came almost before retirement, as they say, she worked here, this year she is also officially a pensioner already, but nevertheless , but well, family life is of course very different, we most often meet with her in the evening, when, say, the church is closed, we discuss some of our problems, but we do not separate the life of the parish and our family, that this is separate. our family lives precisely the life of the parish, they say that this can happen, can this be good, probably for a priest this is necessary, if he separates himself from the parish, he is no longer a clergyman, he no longer knows, does not understand, for me my pain parishioner - this is my personal pain, if someone’s child is sick, he comes, i’m sure i worry in the same way as about my own,

i start to pray in the same way, in the same way, i’m looking for some way out, let’s say, from this current situation, how to help him, they even came, i remember that they needed serious financial help in operations on the territory of the russian federation, it’s simply amazing, i turned to my friends, they immediately responded, paid for this operation, now this teenager lives in germany, sends us postcards, very joyfully, reports about his successes, i’m still well i perceive him as my son, who he’s just going away from... there abroad, but he doesn’t break off contact with us, although this is not gratitude specifically for material assistance, probably gratitude for the sympathy that we were able to, well, sincerely show in relation to him and his problem, which he had, and it manifested itself precisely in the birth of that love, precisely the christian love that we now

experience for each other, this, probably, is the concept of the whole family, if in the family it will be the same as here, probably, i’m trying do when i come, at least i try, not always, maybe this happens in relation to everyone, but i think that the efforts that i showed and made, they, as a rule, were justified, and gave good results in relation to me, in relation, undoubtedly, to those people who expected to receive from god and from the church that help and that support that, well... will lead them to spiritual balance in the concept of what happiness is and what love in christ is. and again, let's go back, here is a huge family, this is your parish and this temple. and gabriel of bialystok is the heavenly patron, who this year will be a very big, significant anniversary of his

birth, it will still be a holiday, despite the fact that it falls during the preparation for easter. church, accordingly, i turned to the metropolitan with a request to lead on one of the saturdays, despite the fact that lent is going on, a festive service, you know, of course, lent so that we pray more and work more, but as they say in one

story, when a monk was approached by the abbot , they say that it’s your monks walking around here monastery? they laugh loudly, that they allow themselves, they must all walk gloomily, sort out the prayer brushes, and he says: you know, if you pull the string of a bow weapon for a long time, what can happen is that either the string is broken, or the bow breaks, just like people, exactly the same in lent, i think that there should be some small outlets, holidays that will give people... well, like an impulse, an impetus for greater spiritual work, because the saint whom we pray in the temple where we are located is the best example, that is, of sacrifice.

there are many different data that are not documented, absolutely, the only

fact that we can state is that this is a ritual murder, unequivocally, that they wanted to kill a christian child, also unequivocally, and that they did not do it in bialystok, and somewhere very close, imagine, even by car, now from bialystok to the animal, well, somewhere... 35 minutes drive, this is by car, but to drive it on some kind of, let's say, cart, hide and so on from bialystok, to throw them away under the animals, well, this is also not very realistic, i am of course not an investigator, but nevertheless there are a lot of inconsistencies, respectively, the person who was suspected of this crime was released after interrogation, that is, there were no complaints against him, although they say that there was a certain trial, there is also no evidence that this... this trial took place, accordingly, he was allowed to sell his property, so the local people suspected him of this crime, accordingly, he

would not have had a sweet life here , accordingly he changed his place of residence, and there is no evidence that he was convicted or persecuted, so there is also no, accordingly, we stop at only one thing, that either this is some kind of closed sect, there were in those days. then they worshiped the devil, especially since the crime was committed on the eve of easter, accordingly, of course, we understand that it is so and, father george, now all orthodox christians are in such a period of waiting for easter, what would you wish for all people today, in this period, how to live now, how to behave, how we need... to bring the holiday closer and, let's say, in the material world, within ourselves, here are some parting words of yours, perhaps to our viewer. i would like to wish everyone to find

strength in themselves, to make a small gift for our savior, the smallest, to read some extra prayer, although, say, maybe you didn’t work, but it will be the smallest, it may look like -different. one saint once said, it is not known whose prayer is stronger, the monk who prayed for 4 hours, or the air kiss sent icon, a baby who came from the street, but he no longer had any strength left to pray, but he lay down on the bed, sent an air kiss to the icon and went to bed, it is not known whose prayer was stronger, i absolutely agree with this, the lord did not demands from us nothing that we would not be able to do, and if... and at least a small, let's say, some kind of victory over ourselves, over our human weakness, in his name, in his name, the holy resurrection, you you will see

how easy and joyful it will be for you to come to church on this holiday and say: i did it, it may not be enough, but i did it in your name, and you do it in my name so that the good will affect my entire family and all my loved ones, and this prayer will definitely be heard. therefore, i wish you all to meet the holy resurrection of christ on precisely this note. thank you very much for these wishes for today’s meeting, father george, and we wish your temple and such special light, attraction, prosperity to the new temple, newly built, of course, to quickly build and invite believers to you, and gabriel beloostovsky, may this heavenly a patron, he helps everyone, everyone who turns to him, well, you. thank you very much for the meeting, thank you, thank you for being able to give me the opportunity to tell me about this saint, and of course,

to come again. we are always glad to see you , all parishioners of all believers in the city of minsk and the belarusian orthodox church, i invite you here to pray and offer your and not only requests, but also gratitude for all the deeds that the lord inexorably shows to all our loved ones on ourselves every day. thank you very much.

a lot of measures are being taken that allow lovely ladies to be both successful, like mothers, and successful in the profession, and today there are a lot of examples of this, there are, and the state today is investing huge material resources, this is a state benefit for women registered as pregnancy up to 12 weeks performing...
