tea of ​​great complex scary people, but nevertheless it is tempered, and this, well, such stories have always attracted me, therefore the captain's daughter. thank you very much on air. i briefly ask our viewers a question, because i very much count on it that maybe they will answer by writing a little, but this is a direct road to us. if you answer those questions, what questions do you have? pushkin's work is closest to your soul and heart . and why is it? write. all the best to you god bless you and read pushkin with him fine. good luck with him.

we climb everyone, often help ourselves to our own detriment, and instead of gratitude , hate, contempt will stand for russia, this question was asked by alexei bogomolov from the city of labinsk, krasnodar territory countries hate. dyat, i would say, on the contrary, the authority of russia is growing very precisely among people among peoples. and

this is often expressed in various kinds of statements and informal expressions. feelings of a large number of people. i think in most countries. but as for the fact that many take a position today, aimed at isolating russia to limit its influence by people to undermine its authoritative. what does this stem from? in order to have an independent foreign policy , a country must be sovereign, that is, independent of other countries. in europe , most countries, including orthodox countries, and like bulgaria romania, these countries

entered the european union and joining the european union implies the rejection of a significant part sovereign rights. well, it is known that the policy of the european union and the policy of the united states are also closely copied, so we are talking about manifestation. political sentiments of the authorities of the united states and the european union towards russia if you ask me, why is this happening, the answer will be very simple, because russia does not want to give. even parts of their sovereignty to other countries. it holds regardless, including international ones. and this policy. very warmly received by a huge number of people. we are facing

expression of this sympathy in different directions. sometimes people are afraid, even ordinary people, to speak openly about their sympathies, but these sympathies exist. and russia is not alone and it is supported by very, very many. but today we are in such a difficult position. and if we are in such a simple position, we should understand. what price do we have to pay in order to radically change the situation? we need to give up our son. we need to give up our independence, we need to obey. strong, that is, necessary obey others. can someone say?

let's you obey, there, it seems, how people live richer, maybe we will live richer. here is such an uh, primitive uh, everyday approach to this topic, it is erroneous. because we are talking not only about technical issues of organizational issues. there is more talk today. we see what is happening in many western countries. we see how human morality is disintegrating. how does the law support the most terrible manifestations of sinful human nature? how, under the slogan of protecting human rights, is being introduced sin? here to become right and good for those

countries that practice. politics internal means for us. from our very colors which are rooted in the gospel of the christian faith. and which formed the spiritual image of our man. and no revolutions, no upheavals could destroy this natural morality. this does not mean that our people are all good and bad. this does not mean that we are fine. there is a lot that needs to be corrected, but the moral is the spiritual values ​​accepted by our people. here are the ancestors and kept today are a pledge

. because living according to god's law is life. but a life that neglects life is not. therefore, choosing loyalty to our tradition, we believe that many people already understand this today. and the thought does not leave me. what is even better is this will be understood in the near future, offer prayers to the mistress. christ is his own throne, and he is not in front. may he threaten and save our fatherland from

the invasion of the tribes from internecine strife from strife and moods, the russian church to compliance. a whole and irresistible cut in the wind lives from unbelief heresies and schisms and ask us about all the mercy in the lord to the many saving orthodox faith in our homeland world. you often talk about prayer as the main thing for a christian, using the expression prayer feat. please tell me, what is the feat here, or is it just a well-established image of orthodox rhetoric, so to speak, a figure of speech. but not a figure of speech at all. this is truly a feat. what is the feat? when we pray, we first must. step aside in your thoughts. from

the reality around us, we must distance ourselves from what we live in. we must focus our consciousness on the thought that we want to convey to god. but this distancing from the contexts in which we exist requires great attention and inner concentration. try it and you will understand how difficult it is. our services are long and long, and it is not always possible to maintain such a concentration on some specific thoughts during for a long time and our consciousness is concentrated, which, naturally

, a person cannot demand the concentration of thoughts for two or two and a half hours. that is why a strong and bright prayer can be long only for people who are able to lift this feat. why is concentration necessary? but because god hears the prayer then. when we put all the strength of our soul into this prayer, we call such a prayer sincere heartfelt. this is not just a mental recollection of some of his sins and actions and an almost mechanical word. sorry lord, this is not just a recollection of your problems of experiencing these problems with some kind of

prayerful addition to all this in the form of words. help, lord. this is the transmission to god of our thoughts, our feelings, our suffering, our pain. only great ascetics of the spirit have it. the ability to make a prayer is being developed, that which i have just said for a long time. we know amazing examples of the most striking thousand-day prayer of st. seraphim of sarov on a stone for 1,000 days. the dominants of his life was prayer was the concentration of the spirit. this is a huge feat and not a figure of speech in order to

understand that this is the case. try to concentrate your thoughts on what you want to ask god for, everything about the blessed and christophomene saints and the connoisseurs of the holy temple and from all the brethren who have been cut off, who hear and are orthodox everywhere. lord have mercy, lord have mercy. i am about the guardian of the country of our russian supreme commander-in-chief vladimir vladimirovich of power and its people to a quiet

silent life in itself in every way piety and purity. and another question. at every service i hear the deacon. calls to pray for the authorities and the army. it seems to me that this is very important, but sometimes doubts creep in. still. please tell me why the church should pray for them? because from decisions which are accepted by the power. and the very existence of the state and the people depends on the ability of the army to defend its people. this is the highest responsibility that exists in the material secular world. and so from the very beginning of existence

prayers were lifted up to the church for the authorities and the army, even for the pagan authorities, even for those authorities that persecuted the church. and this tradition has never been stopped, including in our church during the difficult years of persecution of the 20th century, when it seemed to everyone that the government was unfair, when it was too bloody, when it brought too much suffering and the people always prayed for the authorities and the army so that the lord would enlighten the authorities, gave her the strength of a fortress, genuine and honestly defend the interests of the people, but the same applies to warriors. no other area does not require human activity. and in the performance of his official and professional duties, go voluntarily to the position

of his life. but a military feat requires a person to be able to go to death in order to achieve it. what did the warrior swear to? without spiritual support, these ministries can, either you are born something very dangerous and unacceptable for people, or you lose your strength so that not a single one or another church happens and prays for authorities and hosts at every divine service, with this i end our program . may the blessing god is with you all message of the president of the russian federation vladimir putin to the federal assembly live on february 21 at 12:00.
