of all the good.

your eminence metropolitan your excellency mr. governor, dear vladyka fathers, brothers and sisters. first of all, i would like to thank vladyka for his kind words, but

most of all. i would like to thank his clergy and all of you for what i have gained in this place. i had to visit arkhangelsk more than once when solovetsky was still closed monastery? and when exactly did excursions to the solovetsky archipelago depart from arkhangelsk on a motor ship? the last time i was there was with my mom. she was already old. and by the way, i was very afraid of heights. but when i told her that it would be nice for us to visit solovki together, she immediately responded. and when i said that it would be necessary to fly by plane? she could not even cross over the railway, the road over the bridge, she was so afraid of heights. po froze for a moment and said. we'll fly anyway.

and there were several reasons for this, firstly, solovki shrine. and secondly, my grandfather, the confessor, spent many years in exile. in severe trials on the nightingales, including the crankcase axe, grief, from which few people came out alive. and he, by his faith, by the strength of his spirit, went through all these solovetsky trials and remained alive. and then he accepted the sacred garden and worked in the urals in a remote place until his death until the age of 92, without leaving his parish. here, in a sense, what i said, connected with the solovetsky land, and therefore with the arkhangelsk land. and, probably, not by chance, because arkhangelsk

always played a special role in the life of russia, especially until a new capital was created in the baltic. archangel was really a city turned to the world and all trade routes and cultural exchanges. all this went through arkhangelsk at the same time, arkhangelsk was also attractive for the invaders. and therefore, from ancient times, this earth was heated by the blood of the defenders of russia, in other words, a perfect place both in the spiritual sense and from the point of view of the history of our church, from the point of view of the ascetic martyrs confessors and so, when he visited, including arkhangelsk, so, on the way to solovki, of course, he also visited the temple that was here. and the soul grieved. regarding the fact that the greatness of this northern city, so

important for russia, was not expressed in church life, a small temple. well, when i entered this temple, i saw a fairly small number of elderly people. and my heart kinda sank. it was the first visit, arkhangelsk well, now all these images of the past passed in front of me today in front of my mind's eye, when i looked at this wondrous beauty. to the cathedral cathedral built here by your faith with your efforts by the cares of the authorities by the cares of the lord and the clergy , this wonderful cathedral, which, of course, is a symbol of the revived faith, and therefore a symbol of the revived northern region. no, maybe the land is not reviving when he built

such a majestic beautiful cathedral. indeed, this is a symbol of the resurrection of our souls of our life, the renewal of our life and at the same time a visible sign that much more needs to be done in order for holy russia to truly find that power, when no one would dare to encroach on it, when it would really be good to live in russia. they are so skeptical about it, one revolutionary-minded poet. so that really life is peaceful, calm, spiritually strong without this, nowhere. on a good salary alone , nothing can be done in life, you really need a strong spirit, the right goal - beliefs, or what we say is a holistic

christian worldview. so, then we are able to perform feats in secular life and feats spirit. and that's kind of familiar. such a spiritual revival of the north was this majestic cathedral. and my great gratitude to all the authorities and people who donated money and who made a decisive financial contribution to the construction of this temple. and, of course, vladyka, first of all, to you, because you were the engine of this whole thing. i thank you that you were not afraid not afraid of difficulties. based on the very modest material factual side of life, they nevertheless decided to build this temple, and we see that your intentions have ended in such a

great good and holy deed. it seems to me that russia in general is now going through a special period in its history. i have had to travel the world a lot in my life. by virtue of the positions that i held in the church. i had to visit 119 countries of the world. and in different historical eras. few people can say that he was in the same country in completely different historical eras under different political regimes, so in a sense, i have a special experience of knowing that what is happening in the world. and today, starting from this experience, among other things. i will say that nothing like this happens anywhere. what's going on in russia everywhere churches are closed and converted into

mosques at best, because muslim communities in europe are growing, and pious people need to pray. so very often christian churches are sold or rented to muslims. and this is not the worst, because it’s bad when they arrange casinos or restaurants or some kind of entertainment centers, but this is a fact and he testifies to the deepest spiritual decline. and if this happens, it means that that civilization is not viable, because only that civilization is viable, which is strong in spirit and the whole history speaks about it. well, and even more so, our russian history is very much about this. i think

everything that i have just said becomes convincing when contemplating this holy temple. god's temple has been built once again, i will say that temples are built only when there is a need for them. and as long as there is a need for our people, russia will be invincible. because it is impossible to correlate the strength of the spirit of the people who believe in god and love their homeland with the power of the conditional strength of those who relaxed in comfort forgot what love for their fatherland is and who is driven by only one desire to get more money and get. it is very important that we do not lose this spiritual dimension of the development of our personal family and

social life. but with all this, we must remember that the enemy of the human race is strong. temptation and temptation visit every man and sometimes someone is not able to resist these temptations, and there are many of them in secular life and in church life, when the enemy of the human race pushes bad thoughts, bad words, and sometimes to bad actions. it is very important when we fall into a period of such temptations that you remember the great spiritual history of our people, and the spiritual and heroic deeds of our people. we would also remember that even in this difficult time. we are all witnesses of the consecration of this majestic cathedral. how a visible sign of the living faith of the russian people living

here in the north of our country, and may the lord help us all continue to move forward, keeping faith in our hearts and doing good deeds to which the lord calls us, for faith without deeds is dead . showing attention, love and care for each other. and i would especially like to say about this, caring for each other in the language of the public. it's called solidarity, but caring is a warmer word than solidarity if we care especially for those in need. help. if you care about each other. if you in families try not to irritate each other, do not quarrel over trifles, do not offend, keep marital fidelity, build a house as a common

space not only material, but also spiritual life. then the life of all our people will undoubtedly be strengthened and it will be possible to build a strong country and destroy families. it is impossible to talk about social solidarity and destroy marriage it is impossible to talk about the future and not care about raising children and youth therefore, today everything these are the tasks that are on our national agenda and in the solution of which , by the grace of god, our church is actively participating today. i would like to once again thank you, vladyka kornili, and all the local clergy and authorities, and you, my dear ones, for the majestic temple that was built, but now the most important thing is that this temple is always filled with you. here there is no temple, it seems like i walked through

this place where there is nothing, but nothing moved in my heart either. and when you pass by a temple or pass by, especially on sunday, you hear bell ringing, and you yourself do not go to the temple. that's it. a bell in our conscience we build temples so that people come there, pray, become better and stronger, do not miss this chance in this majestic cathedral church. gain your souls , as the word of god says about this. i would like to wish the help of god's strength of strength to all of us. well, the prosperity of the heroic arkhangelsk land, which is inhabited by strong, courageous and kind people. god bless you all
