clip and where she talked about her favorite temple and in moscow, the temple of the ascension herself in kolomenskoye here. this is literally this was this winter. yes, in general, i'm already preparing it. so you are mine in a way. spiritual son, so she's my spiritual granddaughter that 's right. i'm completely different. i saw this clip there the girl stands very confidently. she has gestures calculated for us calmly completely drawn. well, well, they are all left. everything is a little. they didn't even know how to handle their hands. this is a different generation, of course, the brains were wonderful absolutely, and in modern growth and brains have not become worse from the fact that they seem to me, they are more erudite, because they have a lot of sources of information, even this one is too much. thank you remember when you start scolding the youth all the time. remember these words, they are more erudite. all the best. lord

, have mercy on

faith, your eminence dear vladyka thank you for these kind words and for the fact that you have already managed to do a lot while being at the minsk cathedra for not so long there is a heart, my heart of the patriarch rejoices, because church life is in these

wonderful expanses. church life, which embraces the industrious and courageous people of belarus, does not stand still. here, when something does not stand still, we use the word movement. move this word has a common root with another word well known to every church person ascetic. we say the ascetic of piety, why do we call people who are distinguished by piety, who work on themselves, since they usually do not work, why do we use a word that has the same root as the word movement. yes, because the ascetic moves himself to a higher level of spiritual life. he moves

and moves. there is an essential dimension of a person's spiritual life. and in general, this is a very important indicator of the development of the human personality. there is no movement. there is stagnation, and stagnation means going backwards. this is well known from history, including our fatherland, when forward movement was accompanied, then by stagnation. from moving to some other positions, which sometimes led to great difficulties in the political , economic life of people, in other words, where there is no forward movement, there is stagnation or reverse movement. here, remembering

the ascetics of piety , we testify that their whole life was movement, forward and upward forward, horizontally. this means the material intellectual and other cultural development of a person, and vertically this is a movement towards god, and it is very important that our vector of development of personal life is social life. always included these two dimensions forward movement. to new achievements in this material life and at the same time moving up along such a line that goes to the very top there to heaven to god but this is not an easy path, everyone knows

that in order to professional activity. it is necessary to exert force. if we talk about movement, right there to this peak, about which the society or the state has just been told, then the tension of the forces of both society and the state is required. but if we talk about churches and yes, it is also coming. up and forward what if it doesn't go up and forward? that means she's standing still. and if it stands still, then it turns into a barren fig tree? and so every priest. yes, and

every responsible measure. no, we must remember, from this line of spiritual development, upward and forward, and there is no reason for us to stop in our development or, all the more so, to stagnate, because each epoch turns its questions to the church or, as it is now customary to say its challenges, that is something what demands a response from the church. and this is our answer to the modern problems of the society of the state - human individuals, it must be such that as a result of this answer, both the individual and society, and even the state, to the extent that we are able to influence, including the development of the state, rush forward

and upward . but it’s always difficult to walk a branch, but it’s easier to stand up for a breath of air to stop for a drink of water than to constantly go up the top, and some take a break and say, yes, enough, i’ll go home something break. so, it is very important that in our life movement, both personal and public, and in the state, there should be an indispensable and in no way surmountable desire to go forward and upward. why can't you just move forward? if we talk about the development of technology technology in comfort, this is where the movement forward is undoubtedly people are enriched with new knowledge new experience becomes more prosperous live in more comfortable conditions. and why this development cannot be

connected with the upward movement, because the indicator of the upward movement is the state man, his soul, his moral nature. we know that a person can turn into a beast, and here on this heroic belarusian land the memory of how people turned into beasts, torturing and torturing, is kept. including those who defended this land from foreign invaders, a person can very easily turn into a beast, and there are many examples of this. this is what happens every time when the movement of a person or a society or a state does not go forward and upward. and for it to go up. well in

first of all, the church is responsible for this. this is our word, our way of life, our participation in the affairs of people and in the affairs of our people. if we are really capable, as shepherds, of inviting and captivating people with us, therefore climbing up and forward, then the church really becomes fruitful and virtuous, because following it, following the path that it offers quality, the life of a person, society and the state changes. these thoughts came to my mind during this worship service. i had the opportunity today

bow to the memory of the heroes. to bring flowers to a famous monument and then i asked myself a question, while standing at this monument. what does this great feat of people who gave their lives for their motherland, who mostly disappeared into obscurity, mean? their names are only you , lord, it doesn’t matter now, except for the historical one at all. because the examples of those who were able to give their lives for their fatherland are the strongest illustration of what a feat means. because without inspiration beliefs, people could not easily give

their lives, so that someone after them would live in peace and prosperity, who really was, including a spiritual feat. god forbid that we remember that without this movement up and forward. we will not be successful not in this life not for the kingdom of god, therefore examples of the great ascetics those in whose name this root is the same as in the word movement of the great ascetics of those who moved up and forward. may the life of each of us be eliminated with our active and conscious participation and believe. that in response to these efforts, the lord will

bow his mercy to everyone and help in personal life in family life, which is often also a feat of love sharing one’s resources with others sharing one’s time one’s strength with others in the same way. not only in family life, but also in the lives of those who abandoned the family and devoted themselves entirely to the service of the lord and the church, so that in their lives without fail. this is the most saving movement, forward and upward, realized through it, i'm afraid to say this feat, which every clergyman, especially those who have renounced everything, as it were earthly, is obliged to bring through his service to the altar of divine truth and

mercy. so that the prayers and labors of god's mercy extend to all those people whom the shepherd serves, and so, may the lord help us all and secular people, rulers and simple workers, we shepherd and our pious people to remember that in the word the ascetic is the same root, which in another word is movement. and that our movement has a specific goal to go towards god is up to go forward to help others to walk safely and savingly along their life path. all of you my dears. i congratulate you on the holiday and i am very glad that the lord brought me to the heroic

belarusian land. indeed, marked by the great feat of our people, who stood up to defend the fatherland in the most difficult years of the great patriotic war. here in today's memory. a meeting of prayers for joint worship and joint prayer. first of all, i would like to present you, dear vladyka, with a cross and two panagas, which have been awarded. you are like the primate of the belarusian church. may the lord help you carry your cross and carry out your asceticism for the salvation of your soul and for the salvation of your pasture. health to you, the strength of the forces and graces of god
