metro of course, some yes, finally, to the mountains nearby, because this, of course, is the greatness of greek culture, which were perfectly engaged not only in the mind, but also in the body, realizing that this is important. yes, in general it is very important, including bilma. yes, yes, thank you very much for coming to us. it was very nice. thank you very much for your trust in participating in our regional activities. eh, this is also very promising for us. and now we are working on the issue of becoming the center of the olympiad movement. e was active. uh, it means on the agenda of yugra university. and yes, we will cooperate in all areas, including along your lines. and i wish you a wonderful greek unity of beauty and wisdom and intellectual. thank you. well , you too, dear friends, this is probably the

first thing for you. all the good heart

in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit we are all gathered together today. it would seem on the occasion of a personal holiday of the patriarch but in fact, whenever we get together. we have the opportunity, together with one mouth, to sigh to the lord, raise a conciliar prayer to him with the most the main thing is that the need today for our people is for our church and there is no greater need today than the world. and reassurance in the midst of commonplace swearing

in the expanses of historical russia. probably, there is nothing more important. what would protect our russian fatherland today? from various kinds of slanders and aspirations to deprive the country of our independence of true sovereignty , the ability to think the way our people wish and act in accordance with national interests. around these topics today there is a lot tension all you my dear know about it. the church does not participate in politics in any way, but it takes the grief of people, the pain of its people, to heart. and, of course, today is our special prayer. about peace, about the well-being, calmness in the russian land, about

ending internecine strife and admonishing those of our brothers who, driven by another dark third-party force, are also working, as it were, to divide the body of the single russian orthodox church. but we believe that the unity of the church and spiritual unity will be preserved all the people of holy russia because that we are praying for this, we are working for this, and we know that together with us, after all, all the saints in the land of the russian press pray. all the generations that preceded us, in particular, those generations that went through trials between civil wars and divisions. we have strong prayer books there who also love our historical fatherland and pray for the church for

their people. today is really difficult times. but there is such a good russian proverb a terrible dream, but god is merciful a dream that is unreal that can't really destroy a person's life. here are a lot of conflicts that are real conflicts, in fact, do not have the power to destroy the spiritual and national life of the entire people of holy russia. but this is not necessarily programmed into such a model of historical development. we know that in the past everything was in russia and between the fires of battle there was a clash, brothers, the division of a single state. and in order not to repeat

what has so dramatically weakened the power of russia, russia, we must today pray for the unity of all our people of the orthodox people. chat of the russian orthodox church living in russia in ukraine in belarus in many other countries the prayer of the righteous can do a lot, and the prayer of the church can do even more, therefore, i call on all of you to pray for the unity of historical holy russia for the unity of our church for victory over all opponents, both external and internal, who seek to use the prevailing political conditions in order to weaken, and perhaps destroy holy russia, the lord bows mercy

to our people, as i have said throughout history. here is a book i recently came across, very interesting. it does not contain any author's text, and it contains a selection of documents of historical documents. related to the beginning of the great patriotic war, stalin's memorandum resolutions that came from the front, that's what really happened, and is reflected in these documents. and when i began to read these documents, then with all? the caution of the phrases and expressions used in them was clear evidence of a deadly the danger that hung over the fatherland because the balance of power was not in favor of our country.

the enemy attacked well, prepared , organized, having defeated half of europe with full confidence that he would easily and simply reach moscow from brest. and after all, such an opinion of the enemy was based on facts on analytics on intelligence. but do all the lies bring these dispatches to berlin at all. no. we were inferior to the enemy in many ways. well, what happened already in the first days of the war, the enemy faced fierce resistance. and when useless historians write, that the russian army ran. it is not true. every meter the enemy passed with their losses. and it was the love of the people. to his country despite those

trials and sorrows and repressions that have befallen in previous years. for ordinary people here this experience is an amazing experience. how the church is overcoming some of its personal sorrows. he prays and gives his strength for the good of all the people. i think it is very important for us today. and we also, regardless of how anyone understands the peculiarities of the political situation and what is happening in russia around in russia, we all orthodox people must be devoted to the lord and love our fatherland, and if you need to lay down your soul for your neighbors, as

the word of god calls us to this, i would like to sincerely thank the pescopat of our church for unanimity. today, with one mouth, with one heart, we really glorify the lord not only during divine services, but we work together in this way at meetings of the holy synod of the supreme church council at bishops' councils. everyone has the opportunity to express their point of view, but in conditions of free discussion. how dear that unanimity, which today is shared by all our bishops, the clergy and the believing people. and on this day when you congratulate me? with this personal day of mine, i am like a patriarch, answering all of you with great gratitude with humility with the awareness of my unworthiness. first of

all, i would like to combine this gratitude with the wishes that a special prayer today for all our historical fatherland extends to the lord yes , bomb of his grace preserves our people or our peoples in unity, as they say now really in the world in love in the one sense. may the lord help each of you, my dear masters, to work in your place, really, not sparing your life. the one who regrets his life in the hierarchal post most often earns diabetes, obesity and dies prematurely, so it will not be so. it won't be like that. there is no need to feel sorry for ourselves , the more we give our strength to our neighbors, our

churches to our people, the more strength we gain, and this is a pattern. quite obviously, it has been proven by the life and feat of the most eminent hierarchs of our church. i would like to express my gratitude to the president of our country, vladimir vladimirovich putin, with whom the patriarch. there is unanimity on very important issues of our time. i would like to express gratitude to the president to all authorities for the conditions in which the russian orthodox church is serving today in the russian federation, which, as we know, is not only now limited to the walls of churches, but this service has gone out into the world into society, to the people and the church is actively attracted having worked in the education system armed forces in relations with our

intelligentsia with the world of science. yes, perhaps there is not a single important direction in public life, where the church would not be present, and where our people would not show attention and good relations to it. this indicates that we live in a different era. we went through confrontations, persecution, sorrow for the christians of russia, and today there is such an opportunity, actively, starting from our christian convictions, to participate in the creation of our fatherland. well, more once again, i would like to especially emphasize the importance of preserving the unity of the russian orthodox church , the importance of each bishop in his place really working not sparing

his belly, that each priest, considering, for example, the archpastor, also carry out his service in the parish, so that each monastic is aware of his special responsibility by the power of prayer and obedience and feat to support the spiritual life of the people. and then i believe russia, which has never bowed down and which opponents it will not face today defeated, as invincible, all holy russia will be the prayers of the holy saints of god in the russian land that shone. may the lord protect our people, the church of our fatherland, and you help us with humility and boldness in prayer to continue our historical path, which i believe will lead to good goals. and saving both in this life

and in the life of the next century. amen to all of you thank you and congratulations god save my heart
