Накануне Великого поста о смысле многодневных постов, способствующих возвращению на путь в Царствие Небесное, слушателям ВБК и читателям журнала «Покров» рассказывает духовник Донской обители иеросхимонах Валентин (Гуревич).

Чем ближе к Яренску, тем наряднее по обеим сторонам дороги заиндевевшие ёлки и сосны – словно едешь в сказку. К слову, с января 2012 года во всероссийском проекте «Сказочная карта России» Яренск был объявлен родиной Матушки Зимы, из-за чего в последние годы приобрёл некоторую известность.

In his speech Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk noted that the flow of worshipers to the Archbishop's place of burial never stopped even during the years of persecution. He also drew attention to the many facets of the personality of St. Seraphim, noting his role in Church life as a pastor, intercessor and wonderworker.

Both the prodigal and the elder brother needed to be reconciled with their father. The same is true of each and every one of us this Lent. We will gain the spiritual strength to do so through prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and other spiritual disciplines. No matter whether we identify more with the older or the younger son, our Lord’s calling to us is essentially the same: Come home and join in the great celebration of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Sometimes we Orthodox need a little extra push to get into the Lenten Spirit.

So during the Lenten season ahead—and throughout all our remaining life in this present world—when we see our sinfulness, our brokenness, when we begin to know by bitter experience the tragedy of how drastically we have lost our way, let us not despair. Let us not wonder at it. Let us not ask: “where is the Lord?” He is walking this path of exile beside us. He has been this way before, even down to the lowest depths of Hades. He did not send us here to perish, but to walk with Him the only path that exists to His Father’s House.

Протојереј Валеријан Кречетов- један од најстаријих клирика Московске епархије, духовник са ауторитетом, старешина храма Покрова Пресвете Богородице у селу Акулово Одинцовске области-о томе шта је помогло да се сачува вера у доба совјетских гоњења на Цркву, о подвижницима тих времена и о томе какве су особине неопходне нама, савременим хришћанима како бисмо очували неповређену веру у данашњем, подједнако тешком времену.
