and god a in the temple, but the divine service became more interested and at some point i realized that e my life should be connected with this. mm. ah, how did your family react to your decision to become a priest. well, my parents always took this position, they gave me complete freedom and complete independence. i chose my path, and they only supported , of course, it was unexpected for them, because, uh, in my family there are no grandfathers, no grandmothers, no one here was connected with the church, especially in some way. it was for them unexpectedly, ah, but it was. well, their reaction was rather positive. you got an excellent education. eh? we started the minsk theological

seminary, then studied switzerland among the areas of your scientific intimations, and it was not always interesting, and life, and the russian abroad, and especially was not an interesting story. uh, our churches in the 20th century. i got acquainted with a huge amount of both archival materials and uh biographies and uh life writings of uh saints of the 20th century. it's basically. uh, really set an hmm worthy example. uh, the christian faith has kept this faith, someone gave his life for the orthodox faith, and i have always been very inspired and admired. uh, examples of the life of these people and the direction of the relationship of our church with

the russian church abroad, it seemed to me that it was not sufficiently disclosed and worked out, therefore, together with the supervisor. we have chosen this theme. as far as the church, as one of the spheres of society , must meet the requirements of modernity, of course, but the church. uh, her life, he and christians. we do not completely separate ourselves. yes , from those events of change that e take place in the life of the society that surrounds us and therefore, it seems to me, based on this, the church of e cannot separate itself in any way, and it must be relevant. and how rush to such an opinion that a priest should be not of this world. uh, there is some truth in this statement,

because he really is a clergyman. er, dedicates his whole life to the service of god and, er, the first thing. what a priest does is, uh, prayer. this is the worship of this participation in the sacraments. and, of course, a big one. yes part of the day is a priest. e spends e in prayer, of course, well, they offer. e your thoughts of your heart to god and you are one of all the priests who actively use the internet. and how did the idea come up to preach through the network today, almost all adults are children. there will be a lot of time on the internet in social networks, and therefore, of course, the church

must use all available tools to make the internet and all available resources popular, so the presence of our parish is my presence on the internet. this is part of our ministry. that have it and on the one hand expand the audience to tell about yourself. uh, finding some affordable ways is every journey a real quest for them

. what lies behind us behind our backs is one of the tips of the iceberg. travel and solve cultural and historical puzzles together with the hosts. let's go to the project stone, paper, scissors, watch on belarus 24 tv channel. facts that have been hidden under the heading secret for decades. concentration camps, we will tell and show dozens of inquisitorial operations did not give water, the snow was warmed up in the palms.

you have a page on instagram and how other priests feel about such innovations are also actively used, and i think that there are even priests who are more than our parish, involved in various projects and can be more multifaceted represented on the internet. and what questions are most often asked to you by your subscribers often ask questions related to spiritual life. first of all, it can be. uh, also some personal requests. i served in different

parishes and places, and we keep in touch with parishioners from these places where i happened to serve, and during the day it can be just dozens of messages or calls. e, in which here our parishioners address with some questions or with personal requests, it can be even some such requests from prayer in some fishy matters. if someone is in the hospital, they call me and write to me very often. uh, ask uh to pray for health in healing. uh. here students often come. uh, some difficulties here in the relationship. if there are, we can spend this few hours together and

sort out some difficult questions about the situation. you had to deal with some very serious life problems. yes, this happens from time to time and we always because the priest does not always act on his own. and he is always looking for some kind of support, uh, himself from the lord and if you have haters on the network, uh, in fact, even i can’t even remember such cases, and what absolutely cannot be done orthodox priest in social networks? a priest first of all when he speaks openly on some important issues on

social networks. he must understand that he represents the position first of all of the church and one must always uh share. yes, your personal opinion on some issues and, uh, let's say the company is guided by, uh, the experience of the church, and uh, you associate this position, uh, with the position of the russian orthodox church. can a priest use slang or, let's say, non-normative vocabulary when communicating with an audience? i think that, of course, this is not welcome, because after all, a clergyman, based on his activities. uh, maybe a high yes, uh , spiritual bar, and of course, should be an example, yes, and in speech, in the words

that he uses. and if you have statistics, how many people brought your video and posts to the networks to vera, so we don’t keep special statistics, but we get quite a lot. uh, positive feedback and uh words of gratitude and this is for us uh, it supports us and inspires us to work further in this direction, that is, after all, this interchange of some opinions, e, it exists, yes, yes, it exists, it happens all the time and, like , is too strict in its rules. well, for example , women are not allowed to appear in the temple with their heads uncovered. in a short skirt, these rules were contained. eh, in some documents our church is in some canons, and

many e prescriptions are in s e in different churches. eh, there are different attitudes to such rules. that is, not always. eh, these are the rules, these strictness covered with the head. this is written in scripture. there are such words of the apostle paul as a tradition in other local orthodox uh churches, for example in greece, bulgaria in romania , then we will see that there are few you can meet him with them, but ordinary people. uh, that's not following these rules. the same goes for the post. experienced confessors and clergy say that we

cannot demand the same from everyone. eh, full strict execution of this post, because there is. uh, breastfeeding mothers, there are men, uh, whose profession is connected there with heavy physical labor , therefore, treat everyone equally strictly, of course we can’t, but most people hmm attitude to this post, how is it a restriction in food, in fact, what is the essence of the post? actually, uh post, uh, how is a diet only uh supplement? yes , to what we call, uh, the spiritual practice of great lent, uh, the purpose of fasting is god himself. what is the purpose of spiritual life and in general both worship

and fasting and some other canons. these are only the means that lead us to god, they are only they give us the right direction help us, well, they are not self-sufficient, fasting ends with the easter festivities. ah, that is the resurrection of christ post itself. let's say these physical limitations. it's like an attempt to adequately live the same theme of the teachings that christ went through in order to rise spiritually, but in fact, i remember my student years in the seminary, and then there really was a good opportunity. eh, very deep. ah, feel and now experience the benefits. e lent, because that in the seminary during

the first and last week of lent, classes are canceled and students attend worship every day and together. uh, with uh food restriction. yes, and uh , in the amount of food, including cheerfulness, and in such a state it is really easier to pray , and the sensations from fasting are very fruitful. it really feels like a profound benefit. side of moscow, the first thing you see is our enterprise m i sometimes say that i'm going

home. i, well, sincerely say this, that i love my enterprises. it's already coming to us company. you already feel the warmth and kindness, we share their history of development and the achievements of the enterprise with hmm, the history of which, probably, increased production volumes for the second year. we provide on -the-job training. we are focused. that is, we know that if you stop today, tomorrow the development will not be seen in the program of the quality mark on our tv channel. the key to sports success is a competent decision and a smart approach. how many teams are participating in one fourth of the finals of the competition, artyom eight teams the situation in in chess, when the king hunts under attack, that is, under the threat of taking on the next move , ruslan respond to their players from

the temple, most likely it is
