dear brothers and sisters, today the orthodox church celebrates the annunciation of the most holy theotokos, this is one of the twelve great holidays that tell us about the most important events of the gospel history. the day of the celebration of the annunciation is exactly 9 months from the nativity of christ and reminds us of the day in which the virgin of the seas appeared the archangel gabriel announced to her the coming birth of jesus christ . the archangel spoke and announced that she gained the greatest grace of god to be the mother of a son of god more in perplexity asked the angel how a son could be born

to one who does not know a husband, and then the archangel revealed to her the truth of the mystery that he brought from almighty god the holy spirit will find on you and the power of the most high bluish you therefore, the born saint will be called a son. passive will of god and completely surrendering herself to it, the blessed virgin answered the sulfur of the god of the lord may it be to me according to your word. the very name of the feast of the annunciation means the good news, that is good happy news. this good news reminds us that the appearance of the archangel speaking to the blessed virgin mary marked the beginning of the salvation of all mankind. salvation from sin and eternal death is also a message that

in the midst of such a sinful world , a pure virgin was nevertheless found who was able to completely entrust herself to god and render sincere and voluntary obedience to his holy will. that is why it became, as they say, the liturgical prayers of this holiday, the receptacle of the deity. god came to earth and became a man. immaculate born of the pure virgin, it is important to note that the incarnation of the son of god is not only a matter, god's love is the coming of the world. christ would not have been accomplished if the work of mary had not responded with consent to the good news of the archangel gavrilov, thus, not without the will of god, not without the consent of man, our salvation would have been accomplished. therefore, today , on this festive day, we especially glorify

the mother of god, who managed with all her heart and with all her mind to believe in herself to the end, the lord said, i am the servant of the lord may it be to me according to the word yours. why the blessed virgin calls herself a slave, we know that even today believers call themselves slaves, god's in modern secular language, the word slave means a kind of enslavement, taking away a person's own will. freedom of aspiration in a completely different church slavonic language. here, a slave is understood as a person who voluntarily devoted his whole life and aspiration to someone and indeed, when we look at the way of life of the mother of god, we see that this is a selfless path of serving god and people and the highest reward is to be called a servant of god.

the virgin mary is glorified for her devotion to god , after analyzing the advice of the mother of john the baptist , she says and blessed is the one who believed, because it will be done, what was said to her from the lord, which the feast of the annunciation teaches us today. it may seem to us that the sincere faith of the mother of god and devotion to god is a natural quality inherent in her from birth and did not require labor, but this is absolutely not the case . faith love trust in god is great spiritual virtues that do not appear in the human heart from nowhere, but cultivated by years of painstaking spiritual labors of exception, here the life of the blessed virgin mary is even the holy gospel despite the small number of mentions. about the blessed virgin is an example for us. her faith is patience and

humility, so today we not only glorify the mother of god, but are inspired by her example of zeal for virtue. in our spiritual life, we must also be diligent in fulfilling the commandments of god, realizing that this will require daily painstaking work from us. lord incarnated from the virgin mary granted the right to re-enter the once lost by our forefathers eternal life, but just as the incarnation of god at the moment of the annunciation did not happen without the consent of the mother of god, so our salvation does not happen without our personal consent, god offers diligence for this on the path of eternal life, and also teaches, how to follow this path, we are informed by the gospel in which the main truth is presented

in a very simple, accessible language. don't judge don't be afraid to be judged. forgive and you will be forgiven in everything you want people to do to you do so, and you love each other with them. and saving following these simple and understandable truths, and the life of a true christian develops much more deeply , you can comprehend the teachings of christ by reading daily, the new testament the spiritual path is far from always. it’s just that the life of the blessed virgin was not only the joy of the nativity of christ , but also the presence of her crucified son on golgotha ​​at the cross, and on our spiritual path we also encounter difficulties, some of them we successfully overcome some depress us and

does not leave immediately. however, we must always remember that any sorrow is overcome by god's strength and our heart. thus, by the unity of god and the human will, our salvation is accomplished. we do not grow spiritually all of a sudden, but throughout our lives. these days , the blessed time of great lent continues, which, with its suggestive severity, once again reminds us of the need for diligence and constancy in spiritual life. each lenten week leads us to the greatest event of the lord's pascha, and in our earthly life every year elevates us to a personal meeting with christness, but it is something good and the soul is useful that which will then affect eternity. and god sees such

a person's anger and rewards him with his mercy and spiritual gifts. that infringes on new works. in the spiritual field, it is important to note that this year the feast of the annunciation of the most holy theotokos immediately precedes lazarus saturday and the feast of the lord's entry into jerusalem, this once again testifies to us about the unity of the gospel events that were aimed at the annunciation says today is the beginning of our salvation. today, the discovery of the eternal mystery, the son of god became the son of the virgin of the seas, and archangel gabriel speaks about this joy, and we will sing the joy of the mother of god with him and the blessed lord is with you. the annunciation of the most holy theotokos this is truly a great

event for all mankind. after all, it was it that became the beginning of the coming of the world of saviors. dear brothers and sisters, may the good news, and lord, jesus christ, illuminate our hearts with eternal spiritual joy, bright with hope future life and contributes to the strengthening of our sincere faith with the holiday. good
