    		1.      Christ called up the apostles when they were CASTING A NET INTO THE SEA.
    2.   And after that they FORSOOK their nets and followed Him.
    3.      Will we be able to CAST ASIDE ALL EARTHLY CARES and follow Christ when He comes?
    4.      John the FORERUNNER is one of the most venerated saints in Orthodoxy.
    5.      Nothing should HINDER US FROM FOLLOWING CHRIST.

    1.      The prayer “HOLY GOD, HOLY MIGHTY, HOLY IMMORTAL, HAVE MERCY ON US” is a very mysterious prayer. This prayer is thought
    to be heard sung by the angels in Heaven by the boy, who was lifted alive there and then returned back.
    2.      I used to go to MISSIONARY JOURNEYS with the students of our University in the summer for two years already.
    3.      There in our Missions we TAKE SERVICES, sing songs ant talk to people.
    4.      Temples in the North, in Archangelsk district where we got our Mission, often do not have an Altar, or rather, an Altar partition.
    5.      THE SACRAMENTAL LIFE is the center of spiritual life of every Christian.

    1.      In the summer I dream to RISE UP A GREAT WHILE BEFORE DAY.
    2.      When we do some good, we should STRIVE TO HIDE IT even from ourselves.
    3.      Often we feel sad or condemn or do some other sin because we are LACKING THE VISION of the situation. God only gives the full vision and overwhelming understanding.
    4.      God is Love and Mercy, so we believe that He would PARDON OUR EVERY TRANSGRESSION VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY.
    5.      All the faithful of the congregation are called to GIVE ALMS to keep the church and her servers on the go.

    1.      The resolution of the DOCTRINAL CONTROVERSIES requires the clear knowledge of our faith: that is why we study Theology here at the University.
    2.      I like the air in our churches: it is SANCTIFIED by the incense, ascending towards God, as well as the singing of the choir, the exclamations of priests. This very destination our thoughts and hearts are to be directed.
    3.      THE SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY are a very important part of ecclesiastical life of every Christian: it gives us an opportunity to fulfill the commandment about the love to our close ones.
    4.      The PASSION BEARERS are those saints who were glorified by people and by God for the way they died more than for the way they lived, although their life was often also righteous.
    5.      We pray at the Liturgy for THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS and THE CONFIRMING IN US ONENESS OF MIND, BROTHERLY LOVE
    AND PIETY.

    1.      We were created for the good, that is why we pray at the Liturgy for the PROSPERITY, PEACE, TRANQUILITY, ORDER AND
    REMISSION OF SINS.
    2.      God mysteriously REVEALED THE GOSPEL OF RIGHTEOUSNESS to the FAITHFUL.
    3.      Voluntary SELF-EMPTYING is what saints were doing to humble themselves for living by Christ’s mind and commandments, not theirs.
    4. There are lots of PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE GOSPEL that gives us instructions how to live our everyday life.
    5.      We Christians know that God loves us and want us to be peaceful and prosperous. But we must understand from Whom all the benefits come and who delivers us from ALL TRIBULATIONS, WRATH AND NEED.

    1.      We gather together in the church to pray to God MYSTICALLY REPRESENTING the RANKS OF ANGELS who eternally praise Him with THRICE-HOLY HYMN.
    2.      We can worship God – Holy and LIFE-CREATING TRINITY – only when we CAST ASIDE ALL EARTHLY CARES.
    3.      Every temple is the house of God, that is why we shall enter therein with FAITH, REVERENCE AND THE FEAR OF GOD.
    4.      Christ revealed His love to us by His SACRIFICIAL DEATH. This very way we are called to be ready to give our life for the sake of our close ones and Christ Himself.
    5. Bible and Prayer book are our VEHICLES OF SALVATION.

    1.      We must both PREACH and ACT, as even Christ’s words have not been believed without SHOWING FORTH MIRACLES.
    2.      We are called to love our close ones, believers and unbelievers, and live according to God’s commandments to SHED THE
    BRIGHT RAYS OF THE WORD everywhere.
    3.      Let us be humble and NOT DO ANYTHING FOR SHOW.
    4.  The book of LAY THEOLOGIAN Nicolas Cabasilas about the Liturgy is considered to be one of the best books about the Eucharist.
    5. The priest was delivering his sermon from the AMBO in a low voice. He was talking about the MEEK, who have CONTRITE HEART and whose SUPPLICATIONS are usually heard by God.

    1.      We, Christians, are SUCCESSORS of Christ.
    2.      The SUZERAINTY of the Mongol Tartars over Russia lasted from 1237 until 1480, but during this period Church have strengthened.
    her power and gained many new saints.
    3.      It is well known that SERGIUS OF RADONEZH is the patron of all who study. But he is also the hegumen of the whole Russia and helps all believers, both monks and laity.
    4.      Often when I hear modern music, I dream to DEPART from a room I am in.

    1.      According to the CONFESSION OF THE ORTHODOX FAITH we believe in one God, the FATHER ALMIGHTY, ONE LORD JESUS
    CHRIST, the ONLY-BEGOTTEN Son of God, and in THE HOLY SPIRIT, Who PROCEEDS
    from the Father.
    2.      Our Lord Jesus Christ was INCARNATE of the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary.
    3.      We shall all the time recall THE LIFE OF THE AGE TO COME for understanding why we lead our Christian life.
    4.  While saying THE LITANY OF FERVENT SUPPLICATION the deacon was praying with all his heart.

    1.      God loves us as our Father, so He allows no harm to be done for us, but for our benefit.
    2.      Saying "yes" to a person means that you would be committed to your spouse until the last breath.
    3.      We are prone to sin, but also we are said to curb our iniquity for the sake of keeping safe in us the Image of God and the light we have according to that.
    4.  Before the DISMISSAL a priest says THE PRAYER BEFORE THE AMBO.

    1.      When having sinned, we are to KNEEL DOWN to our Heavenly Father and BESEECH as a LEPER: if Thou wilt, make me clean.
    2.      We, the faithful, are FREE FROM THE OBSERVANCES OF THE LAW.
    3.      Too many things – talents, knowledge, love, etc. – that we have and practice in our life, can be described with the words of the Holy Liturgy: THINE OWN OF THINE OWN WE OFFER UNTO THEE, as everything we have is given us by God, and we just use it and multiply here on
    earth.

    1.      Let us quietly GIVE THANKS to God for the benefits we have without SPREADING its FAME.
    2.      Let us be grateful and thank our BENEFACTORS.
    3.      If we are attentive enough, we see GOD’S PROVIDENTIAL DISPENSATION to the world.
    4.      We are called TO UNDERGO all the tribulations and especially PERSECUTIONS with patience and gratefulness to God, as by that
    He tests our faithfulness to His commandments.
    5.      By the way of our life let us WITNESS OUR FAITH to the people.

    1.      Here at University I and my faculty for two years were UNDERTAKING MISSIONARY WORK in Archangelsk district.
    2.      PRAYERS TO THE SAINTS and reading the lives of the saints are our preparations for the life in the Kingdom of Heaven.
    3.      PRAYERS FOR THE DEAD are our communication with them.

    1.      If we SEEK God, He will hear us and DELIVER US FROM ALL OUR TRIBULATIONS.
    2.      Having a CONTRITE HEART means having God Himself as the Comforter.
    3.      God REDEEMS the souls of His servants.

    		In prayers we say GLORIFY and PRAISE GOD. Christians should be REVERENT. God is GRACIOUS and MERCIFUL.

    God is UNCREATED.
    FATHERHOOD is a unique ATTRIBUTE of one PERSON, whereas PERFECTION - for all of them.
    We can’t know divine ESSENCE, but we can know His ENERGIES.

    Christ IS FULLY DIVINE and FULLY HUMAN, He is of one essence with the Father and with the mankind. He is the SECOND PERSON OF THE TRINITY. He is the MESSIAH.

    		15/9

    Sacred vessels are usually made of an expensive metal.
    Those who serve the Church (clergy, singers, etc) have always lived on ecclesiastical tithes.
    The fulfilment of the commandments of the Gospel is beneficial as they guide us to live according to God's will, which is entirely good.

    22/9

    There are many practical implications of the Gospel to be fulfilled.
    The rule of the monastery is a crucial thing when entering to live in one.
    The fundamental social implication of Christianity is almsgiving.

    29/9

    When tired, I often dream of a place of retreat somewhere in Russian forests.
    For a monastery to be located far from cities, in the wilderness, is a necessary condition of preserving the spirit of prayer.
    Saint Sergius founded a hermitage dedicated to the Holy Trinity.

    6/10

    As Church is the House of the Comforter, we shall come here, and all our troubles and doubts bring to Him.
    Bishops are successors to the Apostles. So we take part in the mysteries of the Church performed by them and by priests who are their spiritual descendants.

    20/10

    Even nowadays we still have spiritual descendants of Sergius of Radonezh - these are the elders of modern Trinity-Sergius Lavra.
    Almsgiving, care for the sick and poor, hospitality - are the virtues we laity can fulfil.

    27/10

    There is a lot of social obligations of monasticism that disturb monks from being detached from the world. Absorbed in worldly concerns, they often don't have enough time for prayer.

    3/11

    We Orthodox know that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father. Catholics who preach Filioquism say that the Holy Spirit proceeds also from the Son.

    10/11

    I like using service books in Church-Slavonic during the services instead of printed texts in Russian. Of course, it is often hard to read some words properly, but I believe that practice will help.

    We who often go to Church Services must learn the meanings of the symbolic gestures priests use, whereby the inner belief of a Christian is expressed.

    17/11

    It is very good when the parish clergy and the laity are interconnected through communication and common activities.

    We are always in the presence of God, and Jesus Prayer helps us to remember that.

    24/11

    Nowadays prosperity lets people not to rely on God because they have money. That reminds me of Ebenezer Scrooge, a Christmas Carol character, whose bride refused to become his wife, saying that he worshipped another god - money.

    The sign of the Cross invisibly saves us everytime we make it.

    1/12

    Talking about the Sabbath which is for a person and not a person for the Sabbath, Christ brings up the example of King David who shared and ate loaves of oblation in the Church when needed.
    Almost all Gospel extracts with Pharisees reminds us that the externals of worship without inner filling means nothing in the eyes of God.

    8/12

    Married clergy are often called "white clergy".
    It is important for our spirit to keep the fasts as it teaches us self-control.
    Church economy is an ecclesiastical concept that teaches to make concessions to human weakness.
