игуменъ монастыря св. Кипріана и Іустины (Фили, Греція). 
ВОЗВРАЩЕНІЕ ИЗЪ МЕРТВЫХЪ ВЪ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ ГРЕЦІИ.

При семъ посылаю Вамъ разсказъ извѣстнаго мнѣ человѣка, который умеръ и ожилъ. Полагаю, что онъ окажется интересенъ Вамъ какъ примѣръ для Вашей серіи статей.

Около четырехъ лѣтъ тому назадъ намъ позвонили съ просьбой пріобщить Св. Тайнъ одну пожилую женщину, вдову, живущую въ пригородѣ Аѳинъ. Она была старостильница, и, будучи почти совсѣмъ прикована къ постели, не могла бывать въ церкви. Хотя обычно мы не совершаемъ такихъ требъ внѣ монастыря и направляемъ людей къ приходскому священнику, тѣмъ не менѣе въ этомъ случаѣ у меня было какое-то чувство, что я долженъ идти, и, приготовивъ Св. Дары, я отправился изъ монастыря. Я обнаружилъ больную лежащей въ бѣдной комнаткѣ: не имѣя своихъ средствъ, она зависѣла отъ сосѣдей, которые приносили ей ѣду и другія необходимыя вещи. Я поставилъ Св. Дары и спросилъ ее, хочетъ ли она въ чемъ-нибудь исповѣдаться. Она отвѣтила: «Нѣтъ, за послѣдніе три года на моей совѣсти ничего нѣтъ, что уже не было бы исповѣдано, но есть одинъ старый грѣхъ, о которомъ я хотѣла бы разсказать Вамъ, хотя и исповѣдовала его многимъ священникамъ». Я отвѣтилъ, что если она уже исповѣдовала его, ей не слѣдуетъ дѣлать этого снова. Но она настаивала, и вотъ что она мнѣ разсказала.

You - and God tête-à-tête

T A L M A C H

so much and simple

Каква е разликата между това да си говориш сам със себе си

и да говориш с Бог?

Ти си бог!

Бог ли си?

Ти - и Бог?

1 - Себе си можеш да излъжеш - макар да се ласкаем, че уж било трудно...

   - Бога - не!

2 - Не можеш сам да дадеш съвет на себе си (подобно на барон Мюнхаузен)

   - всеки друг - може - ако го допуснеш до сърцето си...

(((Може би косата ти е по-издръжлива от съвестта ти?!? Представи си!)))

3 - 40 дни в пустинята са такава хубава метафора на 40 години в нашия динамичен пустинен свят! 

   - Бог ги издържа/премина - и не само Бог! 

(((Когато си на 56 г - сякаш и ти ги издържа/премина - но остана ли същия?!?*))) 

4 - Идеята, че можеш сам да се научиш, сам да научаваш - и сам да си преподаваш... не звучи съвсем достоверно

   - но пък няма и друг начин да се научиш на нещо освен САМ - сам да го поискаш/да се потрудиш/да се надяваш на помощ отвън (не на шестица от тотото - а на изтъркани от пясъка на пустинята подметки...)

5 - И толкова да се изучиш, че да преподаваш и на другите/да им оставиш запис/написан завет... (на вятъра - или на завет?) - ЗАВЕТ за какво - освен послушание ВЪВ ВЯРА!

   - Бог ни учи всички - Той не е извън нас, а в сърцето ни! Но Той е и в сърцето на човека-наш враг! И пак ни учи - не ни наказва - о-о-о колко награди берем ежедневно...

6 - И сами си говорим; и ставаме нечии врагове - и ставаме врагове на самите себе си - защото се отказваме да мислим/чувстваме/виждаме/чуваме/(пред-)усещаме/се опиваме... (от божественото в себе си) - да разбираме/прощаваме/допускаме/допозволяваме (мога ли сам на себе си да кажа : "Допусни, че съм прав, за миг!"? - Не - аз ЗНАЯ, че съм прав - но ако зная и че съм грешен - т.е. ГРЕША, значи - не съм прав! И това също го зная - и не е въпрос на моята воля - нито на моето изволение/щение/желание/копнеж/надежда - а на моята Надежда за Мъдрост с Вяра в Любовта) - ГРЕША! 

   - Един Бог е безгрешен...

   - Един Бог е всемилостив... (че с такива като нас може ли да не е Такъв!)

   - всепрощаващ...

   - Той обича творението си (нали сме Негово подобие - това ни говори тонове!)

   - и не наказва - а води и разкрива на своите... (не на Неговите Си - и не на угодилите Му - а на тия, успели да прозрат през завесата на мътното ни 'огледало' - и преборили се с анти-Христа/демона на 21-ви в. - парите [които не купуват щастие/здраве/приятели - а само отрови (ядове) и капани]

   - и дори не ни съди - поне все още не! 

   - а ни явява чудеса ежедневно и ежеминутно!

7 - Замълчи...
   - чуй как говори Бог и Божието! 

(О-о-о - значи си се научил на нещо! все пак...)

You – and God 
tête-à-tête

 

What is the difference between talking to yourself and talking to God?

 

You are God!
Are you god?
You – and God?

 

1 – You can deceive yourself – although we flatter ourselves that it was seemingly so difficult ...

   – [but deceiving] God – we can not!

 

2 – You can't give advice to yourself (like Baron Munchausen)
   – everyone else – can – if you let one [nigh] to your heart ...

 

((Maybe your hair is more durable than your conscience?!? Just imagine!)))

 

3 – 40 days in the desert are such a nice metaphor for 40 years in our dynamic desert world!
   – God endured / passed them – and not only God!

 

((When you are 56 years old – it seems as if you have also endured / passed them – but have you remained the same?!? *)))

 

4 – The idea that you can learn on your own, learn yourself – and teach yourself ... doesn't sound very credible
   – but there is no other way for you to learn anything – other than ON YOUR OWN – to will it yourself / to work hard / to hope for help from outside (not for a jackpot from the lottery – but [hope] for soles worn out by the sand of the desert ...)

 

5 – And to [study and] be so much learned as to teach others / to leave them a record / a written [завÉт] testament... (to the wind** [** – i.e. – to no purpose] – or [зÁвет] shelter from the wind?) – a [завÉт] COVENANT for what – nothing other than obedience IN FAITH!

   – God teaches us all – He is not outside us, but is in our heart! But He is also in the heart of the man – our enemy! And He still teaches us – He does not punish us – oh-oh-oh how many prizes we pick every single day ...

 

6 – And we talk to ourselves; and we become someone's enemies – and we become enemies of ourselves – because we refuse to think / feel / see / hear / (anticipate) sense / get drunk ... (from the divine in ourselves) – to understand / forgive / allow for / to fully allow through (can I say to myself: “Assume than I’m right, just for a moment!”? – No – I DO KNOW that I’m right – but if I know also that I’m wrong – i.e. that I SIN, then – I am not right! And this I also know – and it is not a matter of my will – nor of my willingness [and pleasure] / desire / wish / longing / hope – but [a matter] of my Hope for Wisdom with Faith in Love) – I SIN!
 – God alone is sinless ...;
 – God alone is all-merciful ... (well, with people like us may He not be Such!);
 – all-forgiving ...;
 – He loves His creation (we are His likeness are we not – and this tells us tons!);
 – and He does not punish – but [He] leads and reveals to His ... (not to His Own – and not to those who have pleased Him – but to those who have managed to see through the veil of our murky 'mirror' – and have overcome the anti-Christ / the demon of the 21st century – money [which does not buy happiness / health / friends – but only poisons (angers) and traps]
 – and He even does not judge us – at least not yet!
 – but He shows us miracles every day and every minute!

 

7 – Shush ...
 – hear the way ==God== and ==the God’s== speak!

 

(Oh, oh, oh – so you have learned something! after all ...)

Аз пък ще гледам към Господа,         Therefore I will look unto the LORD;

– За всички мислещи хора само Той (Бог) изрича покой.
Четвърти ред:
– Словото, утвърдено свише, призовава уверенно да се държат устоите на мъдростта на доброто за завършване на пътя към присъединяване към хармонията за ново начало.

– Бог создава около хората твърда граница и ги направлява към самоъсъвършенстване.
3-та колонка:
– Познаването на Земята и размишлението за него призовават покой на духа на нашия род (народа).
4-та колонка:
– Да се говори истината е наша традиция, наша защита, част от нашата душа. (В какво е силата, брате? – В Правдата!)
5-а колонка:
– Благото на Вселената е в това, че Бог Творец уверено и твърдо твори растеж на всичко за пълного съзряване на семената.
6-а колонка:
– Същността на битието на човешкото общество е в мира, покоя, равновесието, хармонията, единството с Всевишния Източник за съвършена душа.

– Съществуващият небесен Источник носи в нашия свят и началото на всичко и растеж на всичко, и опит на хората с времето.

The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief / 

(Божий Язык ) Доказательство Бога: Аргументы ученого чтоб поверить

Год выпуска: 2006
Автор: Francis S. Collins / Фрэнсис Коллинз
Исполнитель: Francis S. Collins
Язык: Английский
Тип: аудиокнига
Аудио кодек: MP3
Битрейт аудио: 64 kbps
Описание:
Collins, a pioneering medical geneticist who once headed the Human Genome Project, adapts his title from President Clinton's remarks announcing completion of the first phase of the project in 2000: "Today we are learning the language in which God created life." Collins explains that as a Christian believer, "the experience of sequencing the human genome, and uncovering this most remarkable of all texts, was both a stunning scientific achievement and an occasion of worship." This marvelous book combines a personal account of Collins's faith and experiences as a genetics researcher with discussions of more general topics of science and spirituality, especially centering around evolution. Following the lead of C.S. Lewis, whose Mere Christianity was influential in Collins's conversion from atheism, the book argues that belief in a transcendent, personal God — and even the possibility of an occasional miracle — can and should coexist with a scientific picture of the world that includes evolution. Addressing in turn fellow scientists and fellow believers, Collins insists that "science is not threatened by God; it is enhanced" and "God is most certainly not threatened by science; He made it all possible." Collins's credibility as a scientist and his sincerity as a believer make for an engaging combination, especially for those who, like him, resist being forced to choose between science and God.

Synaxisl of All Saints
Resplendent in the Russian Land

 

The second Sunday after Pentecost is “the Sunday of All Saints who shone forth in the land of Russia” — the Church glorifies the assembly of the righteous and martyrs, as glorified and known only to God. This is the feast of all Holy Rus'.

There were not as many saints as the people who lived on our land gave anywhere else. The Gospel says: " The sower went out to sow ." The Lord sowed the word of God in all nations, and each of them reacted to it in their own way. Holiness is man's answer to the call of God.

God came to earth to call everyone. He said: “ Many are called". We live in an age when there is not a single person left on earth, with the exception of small children, who have not yet heard about Jesus Christ. The very sound of His name already gives rise to certain associations. In any case, everyone knows that This Man said about Himself that He is the Son of God, descended from Heaven. And everyone knows that He was born from the Virgin Mary, who was crucified on the Cross ...

But the reaction of the human heart to this event is completely different. Unfortunately, most people are not interested in this topic. They do not even bother to find out what Christ said while living on earth; what He did when He walked two thousand years ago in Palestine; how it happened that, although everything shows that he was a good man, he was crucified. The life of Jesus Christ is of no interest to the majority of those living on earth - that is, although the call is heard to their ears, people do not give an answer to it. The Lord has come to all. Of course, He began with His chosen people, who already then knew the One God. But this people in their mass rejected Him, just as now our people in their mass completely rejected Christ - and, by the way, for the same reason. This, apparently, is the lot of mankind in general - to reject God. But there were people who responded to this call. How did their response to God come about? In the example of the apostles, those first saints of the New Testament, we see how this happens.

The Gospel of Matthew tells how the Lord called the apostles Andrew, Peter, James and John. He came to the Sea of ​​Galilee, saw two brothers throwing nets into the sea, and said to them: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him. So are the sons of Zebedee.

Imagine a picture - fishermen catch fish. This is the source of their existence: from this fish they feed, from this fish they dress and maintain their homes. And so He calls them - they throw it all away, i.e. completely and forever leave and follow Him. And James and John even left their father, and Peter left his wife at home and began to follow Christ. Few people can do such a thing - for the sake of Christ to give up everything like that. Therefore, few people can be an apostle ...

The history of the holiday

Instructive history of the holiday. Since the 16th century, there has been a celebration in our Church of the memory of " All Saints New Russian Wonderworkers ."  It was performed on July 17 (according to the old style), that is, on the third day of the memory of the Baptist of Russia - St. Prince Vladimir.

The traditional author of the service for this holiday is considered to be the monk Gregory from the Suzdal Savior-Evfimiev Monastery (he compiled its text, obviously, in the middle of the 16th century). Two of its editions are known under the title " Service to all Russian miracle workers " (Grodno and Suprasl, in the same 1786).
But in central Russia, for some reason, this holiday did not become widespread, was actually forgotten and was not included in the printed Monthly Books, and its text was not published. Obviously, the trials sent by God to a powerful country and the state Church seemed to many to be overcome on their own. Only the catastrophe of 1917 made me seriously turn to help from Above.
It is significant that the initiator of the recreation of the holiday was the brilliant historian and orientalist prof. Petrograd University (now St. Petersburg State University) acad. Boris Alexandrovich Turaev (†1920), employee of the Liturgical Department of the Holy Local Council of the Orthodox Russian Church in 1917-1918.

In his report, he emphasized the fact that "the service compiled in Great Russia found particular distribution on the periphery of the Russian Church, on its western outskirts and even beyond its borders at the time of the division of Russia, when the loss of national and political unity was especially acutely felt. ... In our mournful time, when united Russia became torn apart, when our sinful generation trampled upon the fruits of the exploits of the Saints who worked in the caves of Kiev, and in Moscow, and in the Thebaid of the North, and in Western Russia on the creation of a single Orthodox Russian Church, - it would seem timely to restore this forgotten holiday, let it remind us and our rejected brothers from generation to generation about the One Orthodox Russian Church, and let it be a small tribute to our sinful generation and a small atonement for our sin 

.

The Holy Council, in its meeting on August 13/26, 1918, on the name day of His Holiness Patriarch Tikhon, heard the report of B. Turaev and, after discussing it, adopted the following resolution

: 2. This celebration takes place on the first Sunday of Petrovsky Lent. » The council assumed that this holiday, which has a special meaning for us, should become, as it were, a temple for all Orthodox churches in Russia. Thus, it is no coincidence that this holiday was restored (and actually re-introduced) at the beginning of the period of the most severe persecution of Christianity in its entire nineteen-century history.

It is characteristic that its content, as suggested by B. Turaev, has become more universal: it is no longer just a celebration of Russian saints, but the triumph of all Holy Russia, not triumphal, but repentant, forcing us to evaluate our past and draw lessons from it for the creation of the Church in new conditions.
The compilers of the texts of the service were B. Turaev himself, a member of the Council and an employee of its Liturgical Commission, and a priest. Athanasius (Sakharov) (later Bishop of Kovrov, †1962; now canonized as a confessor, commemorated October 15/28).
The original version of the service was published as a separate brochure in the same 1918. Later, the text was supplemented; The work was also attended by Mr. Sergius (Stragorodsky) (he owns the troparion), Fr. Sergiy Durylin and others.

The first church in honor of All Russian Saints was the house church of Petrograd University. Its rector from 1920 until its closure in 1924 was the priest Vladimir Lozina-Lozinsky, who was shot in 1937.
After the cessation of direct persecution of the Church in the 40s of the XX century. the text of the service was printed with censorship distortions that destroyed all indications of the new martyrs (on the instructions of the Soviet authorities, this “editing” was zealously carried out by the LDA inspector Prof. L. N. Pariyskiy).
Only in 1995 was it published as a separate book “ Service to All Saints, in the Russian Land Resplendent". Although this holiday actually continues the theme of the last celebration of the Color Triodi (“All Saints”), they did not begin to supplement this Greek book at its core. In 2002, the text of the service to All Russian Saints was included in the May Menaion (part 3).

Faith and repentance - these are the foundations of spiritual life that turned "original Russia", pagan into holy Russia, and while we are still aware of our sinfulness and keep faith in the living saving God, we have the hope that the expression "Holy Russia" for our time is not a historical anachronism. The invincibility of the ideal of holiness and the sense of their own sinfulness in the Russian people made it possible for the conversion of the legendary Kudeyar Ataman and the real robber Opta, the founder of Optina Pustyn.
There are much more unknown saints in Russia than those who have been recognized and canonized. This also needs to be remembered. And when we see today that everyday life does not coincide with the popular print, we need to change the focus of vision - to notice innocence, sacrifice, selflessness and courage in everyday life. After all, it was not in the clothes, in the end, and not in the length of the beard that Orthodoxy was hidden. It is in the fulfillment of the commandments, in the memory of God. It is in the prayer that cannot be blown out, in the Liturgy that will not cease to be served. In a word, happy holiday to you, beloved! You, holy men of God, who have been brought up on our lands for Paradise, pray to Christ for the gift of reason to distinguish the main from the secondary, and the ability to extract the great from the insignificant. Then, according to the word of Jeremiah, we will be like the mouth of the Lord. Amen
