the church of christ praises the high city of moscow, the wall, invincible, holding, the russian divine affirmation, the unexpected reverend lily to the light, your icon flowing fervently , we pray for us the memory of your hymns and with faith and under the blood prays your shedding intercession to the salvation of all. when i approve, peace to our country, the city of all moscow, the first-placed robbery, weighs and the abode with its goodness will keep it, so it turns out, according to the russian proverb,

thunder will not strike, the peasant will not cross himself. but external circumstances most often mobilize our religious feeling is mobilized, including our awareness of belonging to the church today is such a time of anxiety. even very disturbing. and so that all dangers pass our homeland , so that those who dream of crushing russia as an independent truly independent, the state is a great privilege. but it is also a huge cross. because there are always those who would like to introduce such a rich and strong into the orbit of their influence. country like russia, but even today we know

that the world is unsettled. and russia continues its truly sovereign historical being? and in many ways this sovereignty, if you look at our history, was determined by the strength of the spirit of the russian people. we send the garlic to the martyrs who suffered for you, the resting and weightless, to the father and son and the holy spirit, and forever and ever and ever. four years ago, the lord brought me to this place and

then had the opportunity to lay a stone in the foundation of this temple. when do you visit the northern regions of the country? in which the climate is different from those regions, where the majority of the population lives, when you see how fragile is the nature of the north, you understand how strong people must be in order to live here, work, build, create. and yesterday i managed to go down to a depth of two kilometers, and there, at that depth, to see the work of the miners, this is really heroic work . and you feel a lack of oxygen and you understand that the conditions are very difficult. the development

of the russian north is the development of those territories in which are countless treasures, huge wealth, the huge potential of our country. and when you realize the scale and strength of this potential, you understand how futile all attempts to frighten our country with what we are seeing today in the field of international relations. those scarecrows would be brought here and placed in all the conditions in which you work, work, and so that they look at your faces and see this willpower, willpower, spirit, ability to overcome difficulties. but then maybe even more thought would be worth offending the russians or not costs? lord moses god, it’s dark on your

inheritance and offer prayers to the lord christ, his own throne now ahead, may he threaten and save our fatherland, for example, from internecine strife , from strife and buildings, the russian church to observe, whole and irrepressibly cut off their enemies from unbelief, heresies and schisms and ask us about all the mercy in the lord may the saving faith of the orthodox multiply in our fatherland. but i will convert the erring, affirm the hesitant, soften the stubborn. enlighten the infidels and all of us i will imitate your exploits more often. to reach the quiet haven of the heavenly

fatherland today. our fatherland rus, historical rus is going through severe trials. we know what is happening in ukraine, we know what danger hangs over the ukrainian people. who are trying to reformat. from a part of the holy united russia , to make the state opposed to this russia, enemy in relation to russia. we must pray today that the lord will strengthen the fraternal feelings of the peoples of holy russia, so that even more and more the unity of our church was becoming strong, which is indeed a guarantee of peace in the expanses of russia. lord, have mercy, you are amazed at the

sacrifice of many, many of our fellow citizens, especially now when such a difficult situation is in ukraine, when defending all of 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, to all those who are in need, who ask, without

verbally breaking their being, ask for this help. because what's going on today expanses of holy russia of course, i know, very 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, 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 temple of god in leningrad, despite the shelling, despite the weakening of all

physical strength, i don’t want to compare the current times with what the people of leningrad lived through, the hardest years of the blockade. but in a sense , a fateful time has also come today, because many are revolting against russia, and many are dizzy in the desire to destroy. russia is its identity, its independence, its freedom. 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. 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. and this is not the worst thing, because it is bad when casinos or restaurants or some entertainment centers are arranged there, but this is a fact and it 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 story is 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 built temples are built only when there is a need for them. and along the way there will be this need for our people. russia will be invincible. oh, the bizarre eyes of the seraphim, the great sarov miracle worker, to all who resort to you, the quick-obedient assistant, the driver of a lot of your life, no one is exactly comforted by you. you to her, but sweetness to everyone

be the knowledge of your age and the prudent eye of your words. yes, he will strengthen our state. all that is useful to us in life, and all that is useful for spiritual salvation, may the sinful one protect us from the fall of sin and teach us true repentance. but you are unstumblingly in the threads of the eternal kingdom of heaven, and the same you are now invisible shining glory and there and sing and with all the saints the life-giving trinity until the end of time. amen. here, if the spiritual life of our people develops in this way. then russia will really be invincible, and if it were so on the scale of the entire human civilization, then there would be a world of well-being

and peace and love in the world, but we know that this is not so. and today our fatherland is going through trials. which is associated with the turning towards russia of the evil looks of evil thoughts and evil will, and some believe that it has come, the time when it is possible to end russia. and what is happening today, this is not just some kind of another military company, it seems that many wanted. wipe out. rus orthodox, but let it not be so. lord

god, and at the same time with all this, of course, a special responsibility arises for those who have been entrusted - this is the responsibility in russia to protect the borders of our homeland. today it is a kind of pillar and affirmation of the truth. these words were spoken in relation to the church, but our believing people, who accepted the word of god in their minds and hearts on their own. is the crowd for the truth, i would like once again from the bottom of my heart to wish the high representatives of the guards of our armed forces to all armed forces

the russian federation today has primarily spiritual strength. because where, for some reason, another force can weaken, then only the strength of the spirit makes it possible to win. and this is exactly what i would like to wish today to the representatives of our guards and the armed forces, the clergy and all the believing people, the stronger the spirit, the more strength the people have , including to resist external, and sometimes internal destructive and dangerous influence. and god help us just the way they are otherwise to pass on one's life path, strengthening oneself spiritually.
