He noted his fifty-year-old anniversary. For the past years of his life, he showed himself not only as a talented theologian and priest. Metropolitan of Hilarion was awarded the Lord by the gentleman by the gentle, diplomatic, musical, writing abilities. The life of Hilarion from an early age is associated with Orthodoxy. Having tounted at the 20th age, he did not think that he would be with him in 30 or 50 years old, but never had a doubt that his whole life would be connected with the church. The ministry always stood in the first place, but it did not bother to develop in creativity and copyright, faith only gave the strength to the creation of new masterpieces in music and spiritual literature.

Meaning of life

Attitude towards death

As Metropolitan himself tells, the topic of death worried him from early childhood. Already at the age of five, he realized the fact that all people are once dying. So he, too. But why? What is the life of life? These thoughts tormented him all the time. In his youth, these Duma visited him again. Federico Garcia Lorca became his favorite poet of youth. Its creativity is more devoted to death. The author predicted through the poems, and later survived his own tragic death. Hilarion, graduating from a music school, prepared a vocal cycle for the tenor and piano on the poems of this author, he called his work "Four poems Garcia Lorca". Many years later, the work was orchestrated and renamed as "death songs".

It so happened that the beginning of the ministry of the church coincided with several deaths of people close to him. These tragic events of the young man seriously worried. First death, so shook a young mind - a tragedy that happened to his favorite violin teacher. Vladimir Litvinov fell right on the exam when he played his student. Heart stop occurred. The ambulance did not have time to come on time. He was still quite unstable man, forty years old. The teacher had among his disciples and their parents a huge authority. Everyone was respected for labor, intelligence, kindness. He always treated his disciples with respect, appreciated the dignity in every person. Everyone just adored the teacher. The tragedy of this many knocked out of the rut.

At the funeral of the teacher in the consciousness of inexperienced Hilarion, much turned a lot. What is a man life? This question was one of the first. Soon the grandmother is dying, after that sister, and then the father of Hilarion. The young man tried to understand why this happens with people close and relatives to him. It was aware of the fact that only Christian faith can give answers to the questions set. It strengthens our spirit that opposes death. It was important to comprehend, for which death comes to everyone, only at different times, what transition (and where) it means. Metropolitan Hilarion, whose films give answers to such questions, trying to convey to all Christians the meaning of life and death.

In a short time, all members of the Bishopath led by Vasily Osborne (in 2010, he was deprived of monasses and Sana, because he deigns to marry).

Metropolitan Hilarion. Orthodoxy, other works

Recently, the new creation of Metropolitan "Start of Gospel" was recently seen. To the work of this Alfeyev walked for a long 25 years. In his books, he presents his valuable experience to those who want to know the truth. Writing labor, Hilarion was carried away in those days when he taught the Gospel in the Holy Trinity Institute. Then he studied the New Testament very detailed. He read him since childhood, interpreted with another literature, at that time the necessary information was very little, access to them was limited. Now the Metropolitan of Hilarion is now transferring their knowledge. The book of Christ was written not immediately. Theological activities of Hilarion relies mainly on the teachings of the Holy Fathers. The dissertations were defended by the author on the themes about Isaac Sirin and Simeon by the New Theologian. All his thoughts by the author poured in the book "Orthodoxy". He began to write this work from Christ, but switched to other topics, realizing that he had not yet matured to the authorship of Jesus.

The book "Sacred Mystery of the Church. Introduction "brought the author to the Makariyev Prize in 2005. The content introduces the thoughts of teachers and fathers of the church about the call of the name of Christ.

The book of Hilarion "Rev. Simeon New Theologian, his Orthodox Tradition" is a translation of a doctoral dissertation, which was defended in Oxford.

Isaac Sirin was devoted to the work of the "spiritual world of Isaac Sirin". This saint prayed for God's love, which he saw in everything. He prayed for everyone - for people, for animals, as well as for demons. Even hell in his understanding is love, so perceive her sinners, as pain and suffering sent according to merit.

The book of Hilarion Alfeyev "Life and Teaching Grigory Theologian" describes the lives of the Great Saints and the Great Father, who in his time heeded the dogmas about the Blessed Trinity.

His works of Hilarion writes available to the lacean language. His idea was to create catechism for those who decided to be baptized, who needs a small book, where in three days you can find out the most basic. Metropolitan sat down and wrote such a work in the same breathing out for three days in such a style so that the person could read it for the same time. Then another week he edited him. In this catechism, Hilarion is the most accessible as possible and simply outlined all the foundations of the faith of Orthodox, the doctrine of the church, about the services, about the morality and the basics of the morality of Christian.

Metropolitan Hilarion. Book "Jesus Christ"

Throughout the life, Hilarion Alfeyev was interested in the theme of Christ. At some point, he realized that it was time to familiarize himself with the New Testament in modern execution. This was due to the fact that Hilarion blessed the Patriarch to the preparation of new textbooks for spiritual seminary. The first question was about creating a textbook on the New Testament and a four-Genuine. Metropolitan came to thought before creating a tutorial, he must first write a book. So the book about Christ that had to turn into a textbook was born. Planned writing one book, but during the work the author realized that huge blocks of information would simply not fit into one edition, as a result, it turned out six. On July 22, the first book of Metropolitan Hilarion "Start of Gospel" was published - one of the block about Jesus Christ. In general, labor is completed, only the sixth book is editing.

The book is not built in chronological order of gospel events. Episodes from the life of Christ the author considers thematic blocks.

The first book "Start of Gospel." Metropolitan Hilarion speaks about the state of modern science about the New Testament, gives a general introduction to a series of books about Christ. The main topics of the four Gospels are considered here: Annunciation, Christmas, the exit of Christ for the sermon, baptism. It is also given a common sketch of conflict with Pharisees, which brought Jesus to condemnation to death.

The second book is dedicated to Christian morality, it is represented in the form of an overview of the Nagorno sermon.

The third book is completely dedicated to the wonders, with a learn Christ. It explains what miracles are why many people do not believe in them. How to relate a miracle with God's faith. Each mystery is considered in the book in detail separately.

The fourth book is "Proverbs Jesus." Considered here and set forth in order all the parables that the Gospel represents. The author explains why Jesus for his students chooses just such a genre.

The fifth book is called "Lamb of God". It is dedicated to the original of the Gospel, in it the material that does not have duplications in the synoptic gospels.

The sixth book is "Death and Resurrection." It describes the author of the last days of the life of Jesus Christ on Earth, the sufferings of him on the cross, death, and then the resurrection. On the phenomena of the Savior to the disciples after the Ascension to heaven.

Based on this spiritual epic, Metropolitan Hilarion will create textbooks for spiritual seminaries and schools.

Saint Hilarion - Metropolitan Kiev and All Russia

Speaking about our contemporary Metropolitan Hilarion, I want to bow and give a tribute to the residence of the Holy Saint Hilarion, whose work has been remembered for almost a thousand years. Metropolitan Hilarion "The Word of Law and Grace" created in 1037-1050. This is the earliest work of the ancient Russian literature that Christians familiar with the grace and the truth through Jesus the revealed to our people.

The first Metropolitan of Hilarion after death was found to face the saints. The day of memory is celebrated on August 28. Judging by the annals, Metropolitan Hilarion took place from the family of the Nizhny Novgorod clergyman. Later himself became the priest of the court church of the Holy Apostles in the village of Berezov. For their merit ranked high post Metropolitan Hilarion. Rus in those years was in the management of Yaroslav Wise, who saw in the priest of an outstanding figure of those times. Hilarion was for the prince of a faithful like-minded person and an assistant in state and spiritual affairs.

The Cathedral of Russian Bishops In 1051, Hilarion was supplied by the first Metropolitan of Kiev and all of Russia. Later it was approved Konstantinople Patriarch. The fact that the post of Metropolitan took Rusin was regarded as the formation of independence of the Kiev Metropolis from the main Greek. Hilarion at one time was considered the best shepherd, a preacher, had a wonderful education. His activity coincided with the period of approval in Russia of Christianity. Metropolitan made a considerable contribution to this case, his written works glorified the faith of Christ, showed her advantage over the old faith. Unfortunately, the first graduate of Hilarion stayed a short time, in 1054 he moved away from the Office. Died in 1067 in the Kiev-Pechersk Monastery, was glorified in the face of saints.

From the first minute of communication in the Orthodox clergy and theologian, Metropolitan Hilarion attracts attention to his shrill and very deep look. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that he is a man of difficult thinking, knowing something more, true and intimate, and trying to convey his knowledge and thoughts to people in every way and to make peace in their soul lighter and kinder.

Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev (photo is presented a little below) - a patrol and doctor of the Philosophy of the University of Oxford and theological Institute in Paris.

In the world of Alfeev Grigory Valeryievich was born on June 24, 1966. He was intended good musical career, as he, having graduated from the music school of Gnesins, was then learned in the Moscow State Conservatory. Then he served two years in Soviet army, after which I immediately decided to become the obedient of the Vilensky St. Duchov of the Monastery.

Future Metropolitan Hilarion was born in the capital of Russia, in a very intelligent family. His birth date - July 24, 1966. His grandfather, the Dashevsky Grigory Markovich, was a historian who wrote a number of books about the Spanish Civil War. Unfortunately, he died in 1944 in war with the fascists. Metropolitan Father, Dashevsky Valery Grigorievich, was a doctor of physico-mathematical sciences and wrote scientific works. He is the author of monographs in organic chemistry. But Valery Grigorievich left the family and then died of an accident. Gregory's mother was a writer, whom she got the bitter share - to bring up his son to one. He was painted at 11 years old.

From 1973 to 1984, Hilarion was trained in the Moscow Middle Special Music School named after Gnesini in the class of violin and composition. At the age of 15, he entered the temple of the Sunday of the word in the Assumption enemy (Moscow) by the reader. At the end of the school, in 1984, he entered the composer faculty of the Moscow State Conservatory. In January 1987, he left training and entered the obedient to the Vilensky Holy Spirit Monastery.

Work abroad

In 2002, he was sent to serve in the Sural Diocese, headed by Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom, ROC of Great Britain and Ireland), but soon the whole bishopath head led by Bishop Vasily (Osborne, who in 2010 was deprived of the sacred sanator and monastics, because he express a desire to marry). All this happened because Hilarion somewhat accurately responded about this diocese, and for this he received critical comments from the Anthony bishop, in which he pointed out that they were unlikely to work together. But Hilarion is another "strong nut", he made a speech, where he filmed all the accusations and insisted on the correctness of his opinion.

As a result, he was withdrawn from this diocese and appointed the main representative of the ROC on working with international European organizations. Metropolitan always in his speeches advocated the fact that the tolerant Eup of Europe should not forget their Christian roots, as this is one of the most important spiritual and moral components, which determines European identity.

At the same time, Patriarch Kirill for the faithful and diligent ministry of the ROC will build it in San Archbishop. A year later, he also builds him in San Metropolitan.

It should be noted that in different years he always represented the Russian Orthodox Church. Hilarion zealously defended her interests in various interchristian conferences, international forums and commissions.

Preach Hilarion.

The preaching of the Metropolitan of Hilarion Alfeev is very whole and competently built. It is very interesting to listen and read, because he has a huge experience that he transfers us among the huge number of theological literary works, which are unusual in its content. They promote us to the great knowledge of the Christian faith of her followers.

This great Syrian Syrian as no one was able to transfer the spirit of gospel love and compassion, so he prayed not only for people, but also for animals, and demons.

Present a real base for those who want to know how to behave in the church, what icons are, how to understand the holy works, films, the author of which became Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev. Orthodoxy appears in them as a world that fills the life of a person in depth. With his eyes, we will see the holy pilgrimages and how Christianity is preached in other foreign places for Orthodox people.

On Saturday, bright weeks on April 18/5 in one of the Russian temples Orthodox church (ROC), adhered to the ancient Russian litrogenous rank (such parishes are called old-handed or, as in the XIX century. The twentieth century, one-time), the bishop service took place. The Divine Liturgy on the old rite in the Moscow Church of Pokrov, the head of the external church connections of the Moscow Patriarchate (OVDS MP), Chairman of the Commission for Old Believers and Interaction with the Old Committee of ABS, Metropolitan Volokolamsky Hilarion (Alfeyev) committed.

Metropolitan served 6 priests: Clearying Temple of Pokrov in Rubtsov Father Primer - Archimandrite Dionysius (Shishigin), Archpriest John Mirolyubov and Ieria Andrei Fastov, Abbot of the Michael-Arkhangels Monastery in the city of Yuryev-Polish Igumen Osthanasius (Selichev), the abbot of the Old Belief Temple SVT. Nikola on Berzenevka Igumen Kirill (Sakharov), as well as the abbot of the temple of the resurrection of the word in Danilovskaya Sloboda, a member of the Commission on Old Believers and Interaction with the Old Committee of Oscs Archpriests Igor Yakimchuk, who took part in recent negotiations with the RPSC delegation on the study of the canonical dignity of the Belokrinitsky hierarchy . The Diaconian ministry was performed by Ierodiakon Nikolai (it) from the temple of the icon of the Mother of God "all the mournful joy" on the Big Ordinke (father Nikolai - Japanese, the successor of the clergy dynasty). Liturgy also prayed the cleric of the Mikhailo-Arkhangelsk One-Archive Temple of Ieria Evgeny Saransch.

It should be noted that it was no longer the first worship for the old rank committed by Metropolitan Hilarion. A few weeks earlier, on February 25/12, he served a brief prayer service and made the Herotesia of two gifts and four readers for the community of the Pokrovsky-Rubtsovsky temple. However, the Divine Liturgy in an ancient rank serve him before he had not been brought. Praying noted the elements of the saint, sewished in ancient samples: Skuchey with an eight-pointed cross, hemman and elegant warehouse. Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, it was not possible to make a bishop headdress and rod in ancient Russian style, so Mer. Hilarion used traditional MP staff staff with snakes and Novogreic Mitra for the modern bishopath. Interestingly, the problem of the radical authenticity of the purposes and church utensils is also characteristic of the current service of Popovsky Old Believers. Both in the Russian Orthodox Old Believers of the Church, and in the Russian Holiday Church of the bishop, Mitra, Sakkos, Panagia and the regions of the new propelled sample often use. This fact drew attention to one of the recent Cathedrals of the RDC, issued to begin work on bringing the priesthood and church utensils to the Deraskolnaya denominator (XVII century).

As Worship Observers write in the Rubtsovsky Temple, the rest was followed by following the overall aesthetics of the service in an ancient rank. Metropolitan of Hilarion blessed, and donated himself exclusively two-purpose congestion. And he, and Ierodiakon Nikolai, and who served the priests from among the new facilities, paid much attention to such nuances as the developing standards of saying the name of the Savior Isus, stress in the words "forever and in such situations, when their" on the machine "pulls to pronounce a similar liturgical Text in the usual Plenikov edition.

For the community of the cover of Pokrov in Rubtsov, the bishops are still a rarity, despite the fact that the state of the Patriarch has the status of the Patriarch in the temple of the center of the Old Russian welfare tradition. In previous years, the Bishop of South American and Karakasy John (Berzins), Vicar of the First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, served in the temple, served several times in the temple. In general, in general, in the one-time (old-procured) parishes of the Moscow Patriarchate, the bishops are rarely quite rare, because in the structure of the Russian Orthodox Church, the one-time temples are subject to local priests (this temporary management scheme was adopted due to repression in relation to the one-day Vicarial hierarchs in 1937 and from those pores were not revised). Each bishop service becomes an event for the Old Believers of the ROC Event - especially significant and memorable for the UNDERSERS in the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin on the day of the memory of St. Makaria, Metropolitan Moskovsky on January 12, 2013 is the first after the split of the XVII century liturgy in one of the Kremlin cathedrals.

The relative regularity of the bishops can "boast" the largest and most equipped one-time parish in Mikhailovskaya Sloboda - Metropolitan Krutitsky and Kolomna Sushenaly visits it at least 1-2 times a year, and therefore the experience of Mikhail-Arkhangelsk priests was most valuable to prepare the service of Lord Hilarion . However, when committing a liturgy in the Rubtsovsky temple, the developments of Hegumen Cyril from Berserevki were taken into account, where bishop services are also taken from time to time.

The clock and liturgy of Saturdays completed the period of bright weeks when the ranks of the services differ significantly from ordinary and logically continue, and in many respects they repeat the festive service of the Holy Easter. Schierers Holiday in the Nonor Pomeranian tradition sang choir under the control of Daniel Grigorieva's lesser. After the initial bows and release took place procession Around the temple. The service prayed as the permanent parishioners of the church of the Intercession in the Rubtsov, and the members of other one-time communities, and guests from the usual parishes of the ROC.

It should be noted that the Russian Old Believers of the ROC MP still does not have its old-handed bishop, although this issue has repeatedly been discussed in a one-time environment in the last 10 years. Until the 1917 revolution, the Synod refused to the uninterests in his bishop from the fear of creating a parallel old-supplied hierarchy. At that time, about 600 parishes of the Synodyl Church were considered a one-time, which were real power. After the February Revolution, the Secondary Cathedral of the Synodal Church of 1917-1918 finally allowed the charifonia of one-trial bishops in the discharge of Vicaris. The greatest fame among those acquired the Bishop Ufa Simon (Schalek). However, during the Bolshevik terror of 1920-1930, all single bishops (including T. N. Catacomb) were destroyed.

From the late 90s of the twentieth century, the possibility of supplying his bishop for the old-handed parishes of the RPC MP again became relevant. However, while this question cannot find its decision, including due to the fact that the algorithm for the interaction of such a bishop with local bishings, which have the full power in the dioceses of the ROC. Analysts emphasize that a similar problem can be solved by rearming the old-handed parishes of the Patriarchate directly, to give them the Stavropigal status. However, as is known, the old-handed parishes of the ROC today are very heterogeneous and have significant differences not only in liturgical practice, but parish customs and devices.

Today marks 50 years since the birth of the Great Composer, Theologian, Historian; Polyglot, who knows in different degrees, many foreign languages: English, French, Greek, Italian, Spanish, German, Ancient Greek, Syrian, Hebrew, owner of the global ecumenical award for tolerance, famously rewriting in the days of unwanted texts of holy fathers (for example, According to the yubilest, he wrote his catechism for three days from nothing to do, because The RPC delegation did not go to the false Cathedral in Crete - approx .Religruss.info).

Yes, right! Today, the Chairman of the External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate, the Permanent Member of the Holy Synod, Chairman of the Synodal Biblical-theological Commission, the Rector of the Overcoming Graduate Studies and Doctoral studies named after the Saintsa-Apostles Cyril and Methodius, the Abbot of the Church of the Icons of the Mother of God "All Thoring Joy" in the Big Ordinke in Moscow , Chairman of the United States Dissertation Council D 999.073.04 on the theology of the general terrorism graduate school and doctoral studies named after the Saintsa-Apostles Cyril and Methodius, Orthodox Holy Tikhonovsky Humanitarian University, Moscow state University named after M. V. Lomonosov and the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Service under the President Russian Federation; Latinan's dusty friend, with all the forces of trying to destroy Orthodoxy, by combining it with papists; Ecumenist's malicious heretic - Metropolitan of Hilarion Alfeev.

The unprecedented talent and dizzying career of the Lord is likely to lead to a reverent thrill of anyone. For example, from the moment of entering the monastery Grigory Dashevsky (this is what is the name of Metropolitan Ilarion - approx .Religruss.info) to the novice to ordain him in San Hieromonach, only 5 months passed! Although, as a rule, the novices take place for years in the monastery, before the monastic post is taken, not to mention the ssen of the priest.

Moreover, according to the words of Metropolitan of Hilarion, his daily routine is subordinate to official duties. At least, the most responsibilities of the Lord resorted in the following cases: six days a year - the meetings of the Holy Synod (before the start of which takes several days to prepare - in about 30 days - approx .Religruss.info), eight days a year - meetings of the Supreme Church Council (more plus the bottoms in preparation - and about 40 days - approx .Religruss.info). Sunday is a liturgical day (52 Sundays a year, not counting the bright weeks - approx .Religruss.info). Everyone religious holiday - The day is liturgical (the two-month holidays + great - 20 days - approx .Religruss.info). Apart from important dates, also post-country services, it goes - 142 days. But there are also lectures, friendly trips to Pope Roman, numerous interviews and press conferences, etc. etc.

The right question arises: what does Vladyka Hilarion actually do? After all, if he is even a robot, who does not have to sleep, he would just physically did not have time to do everything that all sorts of information sources attribute to him. Even the great composers, writers and theologians in all their lives would not have been able to write and part of the fact that the Volokolamsky Metropolitan was managed. And, as the birthday itself confessed himself, he can write an entirely author's list in a day! But still it is perfectly clear that this pace cannot be written and the tenth of the above literature is not to mention, not to mention the music. Perplexity causes another fact: if, after all, Metropolitan Hilarion has a huge artistic talent, how does he manage to fulfill his immediate duties in Metropolis? At the same time, a considerable number of days of Lord spends in the Vatican and other events of the heresy, leading active negotiations on the unification of all religions.

All questions probably the answer is very simple - the show of these visible works of "the genius" of our, Metropolitan of Hilarion is needed only to distract attention to his activities aimed at the service of the papal throne, the purpose of which is the death of Orthodoxy. Only that's why "the Great Theologian," who considers himself more aware in the Holy Scripture than the Holy Fathers of the Church, does not know the phrase said by the Lord: "Mo Church Cold, and the Gate of hell will not overcome it" (Matt.16: 18)? Because if he knew her, he would well understand that all his efforts were vain ...
