common pretends. be to us, most pure mother of god, consolation in troubles, revival of hope, image of courage, source of mercy and in sorrowful circumstances, grant us inexhaustible patience. alms and courage for his request and need. raise the infant, teach the youth to be chaste and fear god, encourage the hopeful and support the frail old age. visit those in illness

your eminence and grace, dear bishop-vicar, dear fathers, brothers and sisters, i heartily congratulate you all on this wonderful holiday, when... historical moments in the life of our people, not just historical, for some political significance, but because the very existence of our country depended on the outcome of these events, and we know that the courage of military men, the wisdom... but

neither of them related themselves and their activities to say that this was the reason for the victory, everyone associated the victory with the action of divine grace, revealed through the intercession of the most holy mother of god. here is a modern person, even one who goes to church and prays and asks, often, having received what he asked for, especially if it is connected with some success in professional activity, political activity, or something else, first of all, of course, he is filled with respect for himself, everything worked out, he managed to do it, he convinced, of course, there are those who

first of all thank god, but more often than not, even those who came to church asking, upon receiving what they asked for, do not really thank god, and if already thank, then formally. this is an indispensable condition for our faith to remain vital and effective. when a believer thanks the lord for an act, it means that the chain is closed,

the prayer was to god, the lord heard, gave, in response to divine blessings, gratitude, which the lord does not need, he is all-satisfied, as the holy scripture teaches us, but we need it so that the chain is closed, so that it does not stop at god's blessing, prayer, blessing, that's all, here the chain was broken, and grace did not reach us, those who asked for divine favor, therefore gratitude to god. indispensable conditions, i will use a secular word, but i will use the effectiveness of our religious consciousness, our religious feeling of our religious practice, there is no gratitude, and the chain is not completely closed, and the currents

of divine grace are cut off, therefore gratitude along with the request is an indispensable condition for the grace of god to touch us. here is the greatest mystery that christ himself established, the mystery of the holy eucharist, because in the transition of the eucharist from greek to russian is thanksgiving, it is the sacrament of thanksgiving. here, performing the liturgy, we thank the lord in the maximum way for the blessing. but is it so when we pray on time?

every prayerful action in the temple, at home, begin with thanksgiving to the lord for everything, for that we know, for the visible and invisible, because the hand of god is above us, above each of us, having thanked the lord, we can humbly turn to him again with a request, to help, either with health, or in some other... circumstances of life, and we know that the lord helps, so how can we properly send sincere, heartfelt and conscious thanksgiving to the lord for every request? of course, we are saved by the fact that the divine liturgy itself, as i just

said, is a sacrament of thanksgiving, but we must also participate in this liturgy with our own thanksgiving, and not only... with constant requests to the lord to grant, help, enlighten, strengthen, protect. thank you, lord, for everything, for my birth, for... life, for my joys and sorrows, for the fact that i stand before you in the temple, i appeal to you with faith and hope that you will hear me, i thank you for everything, and then with humility, do not abandon me, a sinner or a sinner, help me, including in those difficult circumstances in which i found myself today, this ability to thank the lord, it is from...

filled with many blessings of accomplishments, but what could be more than this? and what followed this miracle? nine did not even think at all. to return to thank the lord savior, only one, he was a foreigner. we must not be like that to those nine lepers who forget, having received an answer to their prayers for god's goodness. we must thank the lord for everything, for the fact that we were born and live in such a wonderful country as russia. i say this not from the point of view of some kind of quaint patriotism, as critics sometimes claim, but

not quaint patriotism, but a sound analysis of what is happening in the world. we live in a country in which faith is being revived at a time when in many other countries faith is disappearing, or, as sociologists say, is being declassed, thrown out of the fields of public life, becomes some kind of... not just by some cultural tradition. in this

way, the lord gives us many signs of how important it is for us to keep the faith, and how important it is for us to be able to thank god, thereby closing the connection between us and our heavenly father, thereby ensuring the continuation of divine. blessings poured out through our prayer, through the prayer of our loved ones, through the prayer of the church, on our sinful souls. may the lord help us all, as a nation , each of us, to keep the orthodox faith, to strengthen ourselves in this faith, to do good deeds, without which faith is dead, and how a people can rise from strength to strength, asserts. such an image of modern civilization, which does not expel god and does not mock, and does not laugh

at religious feeling, but puts faith in god at the center of its personal and social life, as long as this is so, russia will be invincible. happy holiday to all of you, and for all of you, my dears, i would like to give each of you this. a small icon with the image of the don mother of god. when leaving the temple, i ask the clergy to give each of you hands to convey this patriarchal blessing.
