1. A Christian should accept all his visitors, expected or not, with deference.
2. Both redemption and deification are essential for the idea of our salvation: by suffering death on the Cross, our Lord redeemed us, therefore making it possible for us to be deified and saved.

3. Speculative approach to the Christian Mystery is not unavailing, for in our reflections and prayers we try to become closer to God, and He sees our effort.

4. Only the Lord has the right of claim to unversal jurisdition, for He is the One Who unites all His flocks; but no clergyman can submit all the Christians to himself.

5. The Russian Orthodox Church saw the Bolsheviks as usurpers and couldn't support them, even though it never resisted them violently.

1. The Sanctuary is the most sacred part of the Church and the altar stands in the middle of it.
2,3. In many cultures treating elderly people with deference is an unspoken rule. Those who don't follow it are often rebuked and scolded.
4,5. The Old Believers or Old Ritualists separated from the Russian Orthodox Church in the 17th century. Even from the name itself it is clear that they have different practices and observances than the Orthodox do.

К 04.09

1. The Papal claims were what strengthened the estrangement between the East and the West and partially led to the schism taking place.
2. People who hold heterodox beliefs to those of the Eastern Orthodox Church wouldn't be given communion there.
3,4. The oneness of mind and brotherly love is what fellow-belivers usually feel towards one another. Even so, we are called to strive for understanding and love towards all human beings, not just those who fulfil the same rules as we do.
5. A telling sign of a tyrannical regime is the artificial imposition of values and beliefs on people.

К 9.09

1,2. Reading of The Scripture is considered a spiritually profitable practice among the Orthodox. It hopefully will enlighten the reader and set them on the right path, but understanding the wholeness of the Christian Mystery is beyond any human being.
3. People who call themselves infallible are usually seen as arrogant, but the phrase "Papal infallibility" refers specifically to the dogma of the Catholic Church.
4,5. Draft is a kind of sketch of a drawing or a text. If it is a text, you need to make emendations before it is completed.

К 16.09

1. To write a successful project you need to thoroughly and diligently read through all the papers that were already published on the subject.
2. The word "foundations" can be used in a metaphorical sense as well as meaning an actual physical base of a building or some other structure.
3. After my cat scratched me I wanted to scream at it, but since I'm an extremely good person I decided to hold my peace.
4,5. It is believed that all Orthodox should cherish and venerate icons. Iconography is considered a precious heritage that needs to be preserved.

К 23.09

1 - 5. Due to our fallen nature, we cannot be freed from human frailty. Our iniquities and sins are innumerable. And so, the salvation of humankind is only possible through the gift of God's grace. His compassion and forgiveness open the gates of His kingdom to those who are able to enter. For 'The whole earth is full of His glory' (Isaiah 6:3), but only in heaven could we be absolved of all evil and granted eternal life.

К 30.09

1. In 'The Canterbury Tales' the motif of pilgrimage ties all of the stories that are told by the travellers together.
2. As far as I can tell from my family's and friend's experiences, the life of a scholar is challenging and not for everyone, but can be extremely exciting and enjoyable for some people.
3. While reading 'The Orthodox Church (Church History)' I found out that a charge of heresy can be made against somebody not just because of some serious theological differences, but because of political or minor disagreements, and used in a struggle for power as well.
4,5. All Chistians engage in Spiritual combat of good and evil throughout their lives, but The Lord through His sacrifice 'trampled down death by death' and has absolved us of our sins. So by living by the virtues some people will be able to rejoice together in Paradise.

К 07.10

1. The term 'Hosts' refers to a multitude of angels, but the word itself reminds me of the poem 'The Daffodils' where it just means a large number of something.
2 - 4. Crusades came to be known for their cruelty and the pain they caused to a lot of people. They commited sacrilege despite seemingly having kind motives and aspirations at first. Their wanton behaviour astonished an frightened the Byzantines.
5. If you stand rooted to the spot it's usually because of being petrified and fettered by fear.

К 21.10

1. I completely agree with the idiom 'flattery will get you nowhere' and think that being genuine and honest is most important and will make your words way more helpful to others.
2. King David mentions 'affliction' in Psalms which usually has a negative connotation, but he views it as someting beneficial and 'good' when reflecting on his own life.
3. The Lord is plenteous in mercy and loves His people in such a way that we cannot even imagine.
4. Humanity was granted dominion over the animals by God, and despite humans lapse from virtue, we must protect and take care of them as best we can.
5. I enjoy listening to different kinds of secular music on the daily basis, but I strongly believe that when it comes to classical music, it should be listened to live and preferably in the concert hall with good acoustics, otherwise you wouldn't be able to truly feel and appreciate the beauty of it.

К 28.10

1-5. We know about a lot of martyrs that were persecuted because of their proclamation of Christian faith. They were reviled, but their piety remained unwavering. And so, Our Heavenly Father will bring justice to all that were wronged. We are told 'great is your reward in heaven' and know that righteousnes will prevail. Peacemakers and meek will rejoice and 'every wrong will be made right' (Mark 4:26-27).

К 11.11

1 - 3. It's easy to forget in vanity and constant hustle of the present world the true goal of our life - Salvation. This material world will come to nothing: 'for dust you are and to dust you will return' (Genesis 3:19). All matter will perish in the end, so we should perform deeds of mercy while we can.
4,5. In the book 'Pollyanna' there is a quote that stayed with me since my childhood: 'if God took the trouble to tell us eight hundred times to be happy and rejoice, he must have wanted us to do it'. It is a little naive and childish, but during hard times it always reminds me that I should not be disheartened and try to stay hopeful no matter what - 'Rejoice and be exceedingly glad' (Matthew 5:12).

1. People who took their own life cannot be given a proper Christian burial, for suicide is one of the greatest sins.
2. Thanks to the Internet sources who provide information about Christianity, the younger generation experiences religious revival.
3. In a good parish, clergy and laity care for each other, and the support is mutual.
4. Modern Orthodox theology has been developed in a Patristic atmosphere and was nourished by the works of the Church fathers.
5. The main drawback of Scholasticism was the excessive theorization which did not presuppose personal experience and, eventually, schematization of theology as a whole.
