[000:00:00;00] and from its fullness we all received grace for us grace according to the law was to them through my land and grace through jesus christ

we are here saved lord dear brothers and sisters christ has risen these joyful and life -affirming words as a continuation of the english news that women first heard at dawn - myrrh-bearers near the empty , rude lord, what are you looking for living among the dead? he is not here. he was resurrected three days ago, we souls were crying and with terrible sorrow they accompanied the burial

of the crucified and dead lord jesus christ, they saw a large stone carried to the door of the tomb, myrrh-bearing women hurried early in the morning on the first day after the sabbath, precisely in order to fulfill their duty to the deceased, usually to anoint the body with jewish incense for eternity, but they find the stone in the ruins of the tomb empty instead of a guard they are met by heavenly angels, instead of sorrow , their hearts are filled with great joy and hope. all this happened almost 2,000 years ago . but again and again we remember the resurrection

of christ from year to year, with special we glorify this event with a celebration in order to be inspired by this joy and hope. it is symbolic that according to the church custom, the service on the occasion of easter begins at a time when the darkness of the night still reigns around and ends when the sun is already rising . in our current celebration, it precedes the great lent, which begins during the winter season. nature's sleep ends when it comes to life with spring renewal, a symbol of what for us, the branches of palm sunday with which we celebrate the lord's entry into jerusalem become a symbol of what you

remind us of the transition from darkness to light from death to life to repay sorrows to joy from a temporary existence in this world eternal blessed life in the age to come resurrection of christ the turning point of the entire human history from the beginning when death entered our being through the fall of the forefathers adam and eve the desire to win over it overcoming it was accompanied by humanity's inevitability death was a fact known to everyone, but everyone also felt its unnaturalness and wrongness, because god did not create man for death, which will end several decades of existence in cares and sorrows but for eternal life so the very fact of mortality is deeply contrary to our nature and

when we face it it is special we feel sadness crying pain separation mountains losses all these are signs of the unnaturalness of death for a person that is why humanity has been looking for and continues to look for ways overcoming death , sacrifices to idols and magical rituals , special funeral rites, efforts to preserve the body in every possible way or, on the contrary, to disperse the ashes of its remains as soon as possible, establishing memorials signs and the construction of structures that will exist for centuries, reminding of the builders, all this was intended to give a sense of eternity and hope for it, when death came and

took a new victim, no rites and invocations, no human efforts are capable of bringing the dead back to life. for this , the power and authority of god is needed which only our creator has that can overcome death the son of god is incarnated, unites two natures in the divine person, the true god also becomes a true man, if not one or several and only for a certain time to save from death, but to to destroy its very foundation, to deprive it of its tyrannical rule over all mankind, and to open the door to eternal life for everyone. today, with such solemnity and exaltation, we celebrate not only the resurrection of christ as

a historical event of the return to life of the savior whose human malice was crucified on the cross. and we celebrate the very death, mortification, we glorify the destruction of the gates of hell and the destruction of eternal chains, christ is resurrected not just as he was dead and miraculously returned to life, like lazarus four days old, and he is resurrected as the forerunner of renewed humanity immortal and eternal humanity over which death has no power, humanity that is not bound by the chains of hell and that is not doomed to eternal suffering in the darkness of evil , the night still lasts but the day has come , the surrounding nature is still bound by sleep, but

it is already waking up, showing the joy of the renewal of life still mountains and suffering fill our existence and death every day takes everything from us new sacrifices, but the resurrection of christ gives us confidence that separation from the dead is a temporary phenomenon and the time will come when those who in the graves, the awareness of this faith in the victory of life helps us to fight for truth and goodness even when this fight is extremely difficult and can sometimes seem hopeless. myrrh-bearing women lost their beloved teacher who was crucified on a cross and laid to rest, but they did not lose love and hope that is why we heard

the good news about the resurrection and were pleased to become its first preachers, and we are christians. in the midst of the darkness of this age, we do not lose love and hope. we await the general resurrection of the dead and confess that christ defeated death and gave mankind eternal life, at the same time it prompts us to be aware of our own responsibility, because eternal life will not be the same for everyone, and it only depends on each person personally which eternity we will choose is blessed, destined for the righteous, to which christ calls us, or suffering is destined for the devil and his servants , such considerations should always accompany

us dear brothers and sisters, but with a special feeling we reflect on the resurrection of christ at this time when the ukrainian people are experiencing the consequences of a war brought by foreigners to our house, suffering, destruction, death, all this the enemy brought to our peaceful land, wanting to return the ukrainian people to the slavery in which he kept us in the previous century, the power of evil is temporary, and the victory of truth and good is eternal, in this we are convinced and confirmed by the resurrection of christ, therefore, in the midst of grief and suffering amidst pain and loss , we are now celebrating, we are crying for our fallen newest heroes, for our victorious

defenders who gave their lives on the battlefield for the freedom and independence of ukraine for you and me and for the future of future generations of the ukrainian people. but our weeping is soothed by the certainty of the resurrection, when our heroes, for their exceptionally sacrificial love, will receive an unfading crown of glory. today, in our prayers, we remember all the victims, wounded, expelled from their native homes, everyone who celebrates easter under temporary occupation. in captivity under the power of the enemy, let joy the resurrection of christ with the light of hope for victory and the restoration of the light and you in this difficult time, we gratefully remember those

who reveal the song of suffering, help the refugees, and all those who have some kind of need we are grateful to all our allies and people of good will, because thanks to their support, ukraine is successfully resisting russian aggression and continues the struggle for its own freedom and for a better future for the whole world , from the shrines of golden kiev to all corners of ukraine and the whole world. christ's resurrection and share our own joy with all our special congratulations to the defenders of ukraine, the victorious soldiers who are bringing our victory closer, may the lord help you in
