lord save me , we are deeply convinced, knowing this from the experience of our country, which went through something similar in the post-revolutionary years, that no political force is capable of crushing the church. it only thereby undermines

its own strength, and ultimately collapses. and the example of the godless revolution in our country , which followed persecution and oppression, is a witness to this and a clear evidence of the victory of the church by the power of god and not the power of man is this cathedral of all russia , which it was impossible even to approach in vestments, which, as it were, was forever torn away from our church, today is the main temple of all russia, and today we celebrated the divine liturgy in it. the history of the church , the history of our people, teaches that those who rebel against god. those who challenge god’s work , god’s providence, including the church

of christ, never win. never only a temporary victory lasts in some longer than others, less, but the end is always the same, we believe that today those who create and provoke splits in ukraine who thinks that by doing so they are strengthening the faith? although they do not think in the faith, they are strengthening, as it were , their political position and mainly expecting the encouragement of the powerful of the world who are far from ukraine. these hopes will also not come true. we believe that all these persecutions will pass. and the falsely created schismatic structures will collapse, as happened in our country. but only patience is required by our

brothers and the clergy, and we are all called to pray for them in our personal prayers and church prayers in memory that from them the preservation of the truth of the orthodox church on the land of ukraine depends on their ability to bear reproach and sorrow. in this historical cathedral of all russia , the sorrow of our brothers and sisters there is especially keenly felt. well, at the same time , being present within these walls seems to require a special prayer from us for strength. god has protected our church and darth pious people. but from our entire church, of course, special spiritual strength is required today so that

we bow down to the mercy of god with our prayers him to all of us in the russian church, to our people, to our clergy and our monastic youth, so that his grace would strengthen our weak human strength and make us capable. to be guardians of the orthodox faith, defenders of the unity of the church and children who love their god and father

, lord have mercy, let us pray to the lord in celsius , lord lord, let us pray in the church. once again , i congratulate all of you, my dears, on the feast of the most holy theotokos, dormition. this day, according to tradition, we perform the assumption service under people and over the fatherland for overcoming all the terrible civil strife and struggle of the twentieth century for the peace and tranquility that visited our land today for our authorities for the president of our man, orthodox for our army reliably defending the borders

of the fatherland and for all our people and we believe that the protection of the most holy queen of heaven, through the prayers of the saints of power, who rest on this kremlin land, the lord will give peace and prosperity to the people and fatherland to our church , and to our church, unity and spiritual strength and to everyone who turns to the lord with faith and hope. what he asks for in his prayers. this is exactly how human communication is accomplished. with god we turn our prayers to him, our requests, knowing that he will answer our prayer. let's pray to the lord. lord almighty god, our father in the holy trinity , my worshiped glory, it is beyond my mind

to comprehend. maybe he doesn’t say a word and lays it on him. he is no one from the same person. nowhere does he see exactly how we will learn from the holy scriptures. hear and bless our humble prayer with the icon and illuminate it and give it grace the power to drive away demons and all of them arcs of healing as we taish, blessing and illuminating. christ our god and to you. we send with the original mutual father and the most holy and good and life-giving spirit, now and ever and forever and ever, my god, bless in your name the time of your name, lord lord jesus, besides the mouth, his three and

your orphans christians will soar the splendor of the glory of the shrine and the wonders of your world blesses and illuminates the image of the entire holy mother of god on the spasskaya tower. by the grace of the holy spirit sprinkling this sacred water in the name of the father. and the son and the holy spirit, amen. we are present today at an event that can be called historical.

the spasskaya tower, which in the minds of our people has always been associated with the savior with salvation, the main tower of the kremlin, which was conceived as a place where the strongest rebuff was to be given to the enemy if he dared to approach the kremlin walls by the grace of god we live in those times when this defensive significance of the spasskaya tower fortress became a thing of the past. but we live in a time when today it is not so much the visible enemy that is scary armed with physical weapons. there is so much of a spiritual enemy who is capable of desecrating the human soul in such a way and desecrating it and directing it along such a false path of development of human civilization. what is death at the end of this development? very few forces today are capable of resisting this terrible civilizational development; by the grace of god

, russia is such a force. and isn’t it a miracle that in the kremlin, in that place, when the godless government actually met, which, by the way, despite its godlessness about the motherland baked? so, in this place where it was forbidden to remember the name of god today on the main kremlin tower. we have illuminated the image of salvation. someone may say, well, what’s special, but in fact, these symbolic acts contain great meaning. we illuminated the image above the main tower of the kremlin through which the highest representatives of state power , military leaders, enter the kremlin and under the shadow of this holy

image they pass into the territory of the kremlin . wonderful that the custom has been revived? our defense ministers should take off their hats, when he passes through the spassky tower. i sit with the banner of the cross. this is how it should be, because this tower, illuminated in this image , is a shrine. let today 's symbolic event, the illumination of the icon on the spasskaya tower, help all our people to realize that a new time has come, when we can safely combine the spiritual with the material , the political with the sacred. the practical activity of a person with prayer, faith in god and may the lord help us as a people, as a country, to follow exactly this path of our development. may god bless the russian land

our people, this city of moscow, the president of our army and all our pious people. amen i congratulate you on the holiday. what we are proud of in the air and on the water
