GREAT LENT – PASSION WEEK – HOLY PASCHA OF OUR LORD. Schedule of Divine Services.

Posted on Wednesday February 14th, 2018 by alex

Great Lent is a time of repentance, improvement and spiritual renewal. During the course of the Fast, we abstain from eating meat and dairy products. All our attention is concentrated on correcting ourselves and on becoming closer to God. To this end we need to engage in intense prayer, read the Holy Scriptures and other beneficial Orthodox literature, reflect on God and our souls’ salvation, zealously and more often attend divine services, to confess and Commune, live quieter, humbler and abstain from everything passionate. To try to forgive and help those in need. Continue reading →

What for?” Of course, in order to justify one’s laziness one can come up with various objections. But first we have … Continue reading →

(Russian) Зачем ходить в храм, если Бог у меня в душе?

Posted on Monday February 6th, 2017 by alex

(Russian) У каждого из нас есть знакомые и даже родные люди, которые с недоумением смотрят на наши сборы в храм. На их лицах написано глубокое непонимание, а порой и возмущение. Иногда оно изливается в слова: «Ну ладно, ударился ты в веру, пусть уж. Но зачем же в храм-то ходить, столько времени и сил на это тратить?! Вот я, к примеру, тоже верующая. Но я верю в душе. Бог у меня в душе, и мне не нужны никакие внешние ритуалы. Да вспомни, как недавно сатирик Михаил Задорнов сказал: “Для общения с Богом мне не нужны никакие посредники!”» Continue reading →

(Russian) Как жить сегодня. Игумен Никон (Воробьев)

Posted on Thursday December 10th, 2015 by alex

(Russian) «Народ в своем подавляющем большинстве, совершенно не знает христианства и ищет не пути спасения, не вечной жизни, а тех, кто бы помог ему что-то «сделать», чтобы сразу избавиться от той или иной скорби. Не хочешь скорбей — не греши, раскайся искренне в своих грехах и неправдах, не делай зла ближним ни делом, ни словом, ни даже мыслью, почаще храм посещай, молись, относись с милосердием к своим близким, соседям, тогда Господь и тебя помилует, и, если полезно, то и от скорби освободит.
