we worship to catch your sunday. we worship your lord. allah of christians, sunday is yours.

your heart is your sunday. in the name of the father and son and the holy spirit, the cross for those who are perishing is its kinship, and for those who are being saved, the power of god is what the holy scriptures teach us today - foolishness is, in fact, a slavic word, and the russian word corresponds to this slavic madness? and what happens? if we

translate the cross into our modern language for the perishing madness and for the saved the power of god and so, after all, it is. what is a cross a symbol of suffering , torment and death? but what about these terrible phenomena of human life? can be attractive to a person, how can they determine the positive direction of a person's fate of his life? and those who do not understand the meaning? the sufferings of the lord on the cross, and who in ancient times did not understand, yes, and today does not understand, they simply brush aside all these the greatest revelations of the new testament why don't we brush it

aside, why do we agree with it? what 's the cross? it brought not only suffering. and through suffering brought salvation. because the greatest human feelings were revealed on the cross. and on such a global scale that it is impossible for any human person to realize. and what are these feelings? what kind of manifestation of the human soul is sacrifice and love? here, if we define the apogee, the development of a person's ability to sacrifice and love. that apogee will fit into the line leading to this

calvary. through the cross of christ we realize that sacrifice and love. is it the greatest value? for a person for the fullness of his life and what happens if we brush aside these values, but why should i sacrifice something for another person? and a person who denies the meaning of sacrifice can bring a large number of such utilitarian arguments related to his life, his hopes, his desires and aspirations. so why should i sacrifice something in the name of what? and here is today. can teach

everyone even those who fundamentally deny the possibility of bringing not only that oneself is often out of the question, but some part of one's life of one's time of one's own material possibilities for another. now today can convince those who deny the benefit of the sacrifice that the sacrifice brings salvation to a person? is the word happiness synonymous with salvation in our usual language? now, if we are able to match sacrifice. with happiness then change human relations will change radically. because a person always wants something to get done work money to get work. good

career advancement. but you never know , some values ​​are attractive for us in exchange, for which we are ready to work and even donate. and that's exactly what happens to our lives. he who works well loses his time, sometimes even risks his health, but in return for this he most often receives material incentives and promotions. but what about in this spiritual life? and today helps us to understand. what happens when we sacrifice ourselves? when we share our time, our material possibilities, our love , sincerely non-opportunistic, not out of necessity from the heart. then we acquire the great gift of god. we

become closer to god the lord forgives us our sins. our redemption here is sacrifice, sacrificial love, first of all, help with those who suffer. and not to show up in front of tv cameras or to write about you in the newspapers, but to come quietly and help. and i must tell you that many people do this today. some kind of information is flowing to me that does not fall into the public space, and therefore i cannot announce and name any names, but you are amazed at the sacrifice of many and many of our fellow citizens, especially now when such a difficult situation in

ukraine, when protecting all our historical fatherland and russia and ukraine when are our soldiers? sacrifice health and life how important is it that all our people? was able to donate. in the name of christ's to all those who need it, who ask not verbally, but by their very being ask for this help. sometimes they ask a question. well, who can help? so i look to the right to the left, i don’t see it. and here you need to pray for the lord to open. opened ours. spiritual eyes to see who

needs help. once again i want to say that today is the time when we should especially ask ourselves this fateful question. and what am i doing? because what is happening today in the vastness of holy russia of course, i know, it darkens the hearts of many. i won't speak. about myself but with these thoughts, with this suffering, i go to bed and get up and spend the whole day. because i am not only the patriarch of moscow, but also of all russia. but they believe at the same time. that by the grace of god will pass this attack. that it will not undermine all the deep foundations of our joint existence, which unites and preserves

in unity our united people of holy russia living in russia and ukraine. may the lord this is a very difficult time. he will strengthen us all in faith and piety. i am the first to address now those orthodox people. some of whom believe that once a year you can visit the temple and that's enough. others say, well, that's just a must visit in lent. and communion is enough. and the third one is said, but once a month is enough. and one and the other third are not right. sunday is given to us so that we consecrate it to god. and who is greedy? and he does not want to give god a part of this

sunday, thinking that he will do something better for himself, watch tv, take a walk. goes to visit, then he is deeply mistaken. same day the seventh says to the lord your god, the commandment of god, which means that sunday should begin with prayer. well, if for some reason a person cannot come to the temple, although most often these circumstances are far-fetched. then, at least in the morning hours, you need to pray yourself with your family and ask the lord for forgiveness for not coming to the temple that day. but everything is so important right now, my dears. my parents survived the leningrad blockade. and they told me about how

god's temples were filled. like almost hungry people, that the dying flocked to the temples of god in leningrad, despite the shelling, despite the weakening of all physical strength, and the churches of the city of leningrad were overcrowded during the blockade. or maybe it was prayer that saved the city. i don't want to compare the current times with what the people of leningrad went through during the most difficult years of the siege. but in a sense, a fateful time has also come today, because many are revolting against russia and many are dizzy. ruin. russia is its identity, its independence, its freedom. and therefore, today we must especially

strengthen ourselves in the faith and fill our churches. pray for the authorities for the hosts for their loved ones pray for the orthodox church, which in these difficult conditions preserves the spiritual unity of holy russia and yes, the lord helps us the holy saints of united russia the reverend of kiev-pechersk and the reverend fathers of numerous monasteries includes the trinity-sergius lavra in the open spaces great russia let's trust in their prayers, because their souls are grieving and suffering today about what is happening. and let's hope that by common efforts. without having to follow the path of dangerous compromises. capable of harming united

russia, we all simultaneously walked along the path of reconciliation and the restoration of that spiritual unity. which was formed in the bowels of the single russian orthodox church. may the blessing of god abide throughout all holy russia over those who rule over spiritual leaders over warriors and over all those on whom the peaceful and prosperous outcome of the current very dangerous may depend. clashes between two fraternal peoples. may the lord keep us all.
