this doesn't mean at all that today’s story of zakeya calls on everyone to be soft-hearted, so prettyno at all, this is not a renunciation of one’s official powers, this is not an attempt to do what is called good for others at the expense of some obligations assumed by oneself in connection with one’s official position, this is about something completely different , about how... no matter what position a person has, he should never forget that he is saved before god not by his official position, not by his salary, not by his power, but by the fulfillment of god's law, and may the lord help all of us, secular and spiritual, everyone who has some kind of leadership position, to remember more often from zachea, in accordance with the wisdom of this gospel story, to organize our own lives. i cordially congratulate you all, my dears, on sunday . and in memory of my stay in this wonderful, majestic temple, i would like to present this also majestic, beautiful icon of st. sergius and nikon of radonichsky. please accept. and when will you, my dear parishioners, approach this image, be sure t
