it is also present in the ocu, it is present in the greek catholics, who can sometimes be thought ofsuch categories that correspond to the state-church policy of russia there. that is, when there is, and specify what you mean, i mean when there is a priority church, when there is a state policy, which, let's say, somewhere makes a reference point for one, and all the others, you know, like this division, like , everything is for one's own, and the law is for others, yes, that's when people's thinking is at the level of that of the russian world, by the way, a year ago, even during this year, we had such a thing, when there was talk of a calendar reform, that is , how many, how many myths arise. precisely around the calendar reform, also historical questions, how many myths are still spreading in the orthodox environment, which are of russian origin, and they, in fact , were created at the time so that we would move away from understanding our true history, so that we perceive it as it can , and even i will tell you this, you know that it is very palpable that there is also in this en

catholic church, which gave this example of service, and as an example, it is probably the ukrainian catholic university, which we see, as what... there are ee, what are such fruits , which he provides, the good works of the church, which it is on the way out, leads, and if we are talking about the orthodox church, then it is only being rebuilt, it is difficult to do , and of course, we want everything, but we cannot do everything, and then we you have to tell your faithful and these people who want to do. what is this come and do it, no one, some uncle with a beard will do it for you, huh, and that's why i became a priest, because i wanted social service to be developed in the ukrainian church, that's why i'm doing social service, so that i, for example , i dream of the chaplain i want to see, so i can become that chaplain and try to be the chaplain i would like to see. and the church is a community of people, so any person can come and bring changes, both in the state and in the church, and in any institution, as far as it is difficult for you, or you understand, during these perio

catholics , orthodox, roman catholics, there are some literati there, and even he actively participated, this... our muslim and he also has a religious education, and he and the orthodox priests gave suggestions in the same way, and for sure what we can say when we say today , what is the ukrainian church in general, it is any religious community that brings peace, goodness and helps its people, two, almost two years, a great... war, and you too, you have this war, well and actually since 2014, probably one of the most difficult. tasks, in particular lead our soldiers on their last journey, realizing that one of them will now go to battle and most likely will not return, you also provide this support, then support their families, who will turn, i have a question, do you work with psychologists, is this exclusively, does faith help like that, well, that is, i do not imagine how it is. people how do you charge it? priests are the same people, they are injured in the same way, they burn out in the same way, they can score some things, that is, it takes a toll on health and physical and men

we see life in the kyiv lavra , the monks, and how they behaved, we have beautiful brothers, the greek catholic church, which set an example of service, and as an example, for example, probably this is the ukrainian catholic university, which we see how there are, what are the fruits that she gives... the good works of the church that she leads on the way out, and if we are talking about the orthodox church, then it is only being rebuilt, this is yours. do and sure, we want everything, but we can't do everything, and then we have to tell our faithful and these people who want to do it, to come and do it, no uncle with a beard is going to do it for you, huh, and that's why i i became a priest because i wanted social service to be developed in the ukrainian church, that is why i am engaged in social service, so that i... for example, i had a dream that i want to see a chaplain, so i can become that chaplain and try to be that chaplain , which i would like to see, and the church is a community of people, so any person can to come and bring about changes, as in the state, as in the church,

catholics and catholics also pray on christian holidays, and by the way, what needs to be done in reality , it is not a menorah - it is not a trident, so to speak , it corresponds to christ as such, it is one of the religious symbols, the ukrainian church presence in jerusalem needs to be increased that's it because of the ecumenical patriarchy that's it. an important task. now, when there is an orthodox church of ukraine, we must think about the courtyard of the orthodox church of ukraine in jerusalem. i would very much like it to happen, so that ukrainians, pilgrims who come to jerusalem, could come to this courtyard and communicate with the priests in ukrainian. here's what to think about. and it is then a daily presence, you see, the minora stood, hanukkah is over, and the minora is no longer there. but there is a sy... to which lvivians can come there every day to pray and with from the point of view of the religious importance of the holy land for every orthodox christian and every greek catholic, i would just like, because this is what i always lacked in jerusalem, to come to such

catholics said that all those who want churches, communities, and the faithful can celebrate christmase 24th, that's okay. but since the church officially still held the main services on the seventh and sixth, it was last year, so in reality no one supported this voluntary call, although if you look at lviv now, which is far from the front, of course, then in principle there is it seems as if they always celebrated here, as if everyone was preparing only for the 25th, and in general no one ever celebrated christmas on the 7th, that is, they passed absolutely without , you know, without any... problems without slipping, i also say this that, in principle, what the church does for the parishioners is very important, that is, it is a sign that it is, and here on the one hand we have a survey where more than 60% of ukrainians have accepted this transition to a new calendar and are ready to celebrate today, for example, cover the holy, holy supper, but on the other hand, we understand that much more churches are still in... under the moscow patriarchate, or it does not mean that in reality
