Two commemoration slips were brought to our altar: for the health of "everyone here" and for the repose of "everyone there".

– How are you doing, Orthodox flock?

– All is well, but we are not despairing.

Exercise in patience and humility.

Find someone online who is mistaken, gather all your will and do not respond to them.

Sometimes you sit there and think despondently: God, why do I deserve all this?!

And then you remember why.

And you think then: Well, it's not that bad...

Love your enemies, they are your most loyal fans.

– Father, can I leave in the middle of the service? My wife wants me to go shopping with her.

– In no way. A prayer and a memorial service are ahead.

– Thank you very much, Father!!!

At heart, all people are good. Only the depth is different.
