Saying the Saints Fathers
About prayer for the deceased.
The old man of Paisius Svyatogorets: "God wants to help the departed, because he hurts for them, but does not do it, because he has no guest. He does not want to give the right to say:" How do you save this sinner, because he didn't work at all ? "Praying for the deceased, we give God the right to intervention. It must be said that our prayers about the departed than living on the living" lead to the larger ment of God. "Fancy services are the best lawyer about the souls of the deceased. Founders have such a force that they can even withdraw the soul from hell."

Dispassion.

"Funnylessness is not in that in order not to feel passions, but not to take them into yourself! Irritation is unforgivable, since at this time we are in the power of the dark forces. The purity of thoughts and cleanliness of feelings is not difficult to acquire a solitude, reading spiritual and exercise in prayer. »Saint Shiigumen Sava.

Demons say - I hate when a person courageously fights sorrow. On the soul of the cat scraper, and it does not show the species. I really don't like this struggle.

Now many people go to hell directly from the lower nuclearity, for the condemnation of others (especially priests and monks). And the womb is a lot: everyone loves to eat and drink more. They are not dirty; Let's come to the temple, they will sit on the shop and speak worldly. They have no thoughts to repent.

Ieromona Panteleimon Lenin said: "That we have a brand spiritual and here are inevitable wounds and cramped from the enemy. In war, as in war: these are devotees tolerated in vain, I accept on business. " What books are not especially units? The new covenant and the psalter, then the soles and the former, XVIII-XIX centuries, the elders of the book and teaching.

Siluan Athos about prayer.

"Lord," says Siluan, "Teach me what I have to do to accept my soul." And again in the heart, the answer from God: "Keep your mind in hell and do not despair."

"Everyone will be saved, one I will perish." He is a good spirit that the deepest root of sin is pride, - this beach of mankind, who touched people from God and immersed the world into innumerable troubles and suffering; This is a true seed of death that wrapped in mankind of despair with darkness. From now on the silhoun, the outstanding giant of the Spirit, all the forces will focus on the feud for the humility of Christ, which he was given to know in the first phenomenon, but which he did not save. "Soon I will die, and my soul will remove into close black hell, and there one I will languish in a gloomy flame and cry in the Lord:" Where are you, my soul light? Why did you leave me? I can not live without you".

This doing led to the world of the soul and pure prayer. But even this fiery path turned out to be unwritten.

The soul was languishing him by consciousness that people live, not leading God and his love, and he prayed the great prayer, so that the Lord for the Unfortunate Love would give them to know themselves.

On signs of grace and charms (St. Siluan Afonovsky).

In her desire to learn from the elder, whether there is a undoubted sign, which makes it possible to reliably distinguish the true spiritual path from those "ghosts of truth", which lie on retreats from this path, we led to the conversations about it, and the word it was invalidious expensive. He said:

"When the Holy Spirit fulfills the whole person with the sweetness of his love, then the world is forgotten perfectly, and the soul is all in the unfair joy contemplates God; But when the soul remembers the world again, then from the love of God and pity for man - she cries and pray for the whole world.

Having indulged in crying and prayer for the world generated by love, the soul from the sweetness of the Holy Spirit may again forget the world and rest again in God; Recalling the world, again in great sadness, tearfully prays, wanting to save anyone.

And this is the true way to whom the Holy Spirit teaches.

Holy Spirit There is love, peace and sweetness. The Holy Spirit tastes to love God and Middle. And the spirit of charms - there is a proud spirit; He does not spare human and other creature, because he did not create anything; It acts like a thief and a predator, and the path is filled with destruction.

The spirit of charms can not give true sweetness; It brings only the alarming sweetness of vanity; There is no humility, nor peace, no love; And there is a cold indifference of pride.

The Holy Spirit teaches the love of God, and the soul misses about God and sweetly with tears is looking for his day and night, and the enemy brings his longing, heavy and gloomy, killing soul.

According to these features, it is possible to clearly recognize the grace of God from the delights of the enemy. "

We told the old man that there are people who are impassive understand not as the love of God, but as a special contemplation of being, standing above the distinction of good and evil, and what contemplation they consider to be greater than Christian love. On this old man said:

It is the enemy science; Holy Spirit does not teach.

And listening to the elder, we could not help but remember the demonic images of those "superheloveks", which go down "on the other side of good and evil." The elder said:

The Holy Spirit is love, and he gives his soul to love enemies. And who does not love enemies, he does not know God.

This last criterion in the soul of the elder occupied a completely exceptional and indisputable place. He said:

The Lord is a gracious creator, and he's sorry for him. The Lord regrets all the sinners, as a mother regrets his children even when they go unkought dear, and where there is no love for enemies and sinners, there is no Spirit of the Lord.

Constantly staying in a feat, Siluan Athos abstained in everything and from everything that could interfere with grace: I slept enough, until two hours a day, I did not make sending in the post and limited myself in a meal, advising the "eat so much that After making food, I wanted to pray "; He complied with his will, believing that it brings the "best" to the soul. She gloomy, prays, crying, staying in the fight to keep grace, but the divine light, if comes back, then not for long, and then, as before, leaves the novice again. "For that we suffer," the elder explained, "that we do not have humility." In the humble soul he lives the Holy Spirit, and he gives soul freedom, peace, love, bliss. " Stress the humble spirit "This is a great science that will soon won't overcome."

Many parents, having blind love for children, regret punish them for misconduct: But after, when children grow up and be immoral, such parents will understand their error in the fact that they did not punish children while they were small. The god of the chosen Chad itself punishes his own, as you can see in Scripture, so does he not love them? "The Lord, who loves, is punishable; there is any son who takes" (Heb. 12, 6). In this case, Christians must imitate the Heavenly Father and the Children to Love and punish. Not punished in adolescence, in maturity remain like horses unresolved and wild, no matter what cause. Therefore, a Christian, love children in Christian and punish them to become good and kind. Saint Tikhon Zadonsky (104, 1600-1601).

He held firmly in the memory of the Rev. Feodor Sanaksarsky Word Sirahovo: "Better the word than given" (Sir.7,35). And in the creations of Zlatoust too: "It often happens that a pleasant (useful) word cares more by the poor than the challenge ... The Good Council may be more acquisition, for not hunger is saturated, but it saves from the Lyuto death" (25 conversation on Acts; 41 Conversation on being). Before leaving Kelly in the church and back, prayers: "God, gracious Budy I feel sinful! God, to clean my sins and merry me! Without the number of sinners, Lord, forgive me! You worship your cross, Vladyko, and Holy Resurrection Your Slavim! " And "worthy to eat" to the end.

Every Christian should have a rosary and for the blessing of the spiritual father to read every day the prayer Jesus. This is the spiritual sword of every Orthodox.

God. Hazelle Budy to me, sinning! Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, have mercy on sinning (sin)! ...

Yes, you break how dangerous walk, the Lord speak !!! We must always be ready! To the attacks of unclean ...... Caution! ....

"God is waiting for us to ask him for help, and only then interfere." Instructions athos Elder Pairius Svyatogort.

It is advisable for discipline to produce and forces, better less, but with attention.

OH MY GOD! Falling me to be a weapon of your world! So that I make love where I hate. So that I forgive, where offended. So that I combine where there is a quarrel. So that I tell the truth where the misconception is. So I arrow faith where the doubt puts. So I excite the hope where despair suffers. So that I brought the light into the darkness so that I excite the joy where the grief lives. OH MY GOD! Acknowledged! So that they were not comforted, but I console. In order not to understand me, but I understood others. So that I loved me, but that I love others. For who gives - he gets. Who forgets himself - he acquires. Who forgives, this will say. Who dies - he wakes up for eternal life. AMEN.

Where to look for the kingdom of God?

"If the demons will incorporate your heart to a feat exceeding your forces, do not listen to them: For it is their usual torture - to excite a person to do what it cannot do, so that he fell into their hands, and they rejoiced about him" (Avave Isaiah ).

"The kingdom of God is inside you" (Luke. 17,21).

Who opens it?

To the one who fulfits God's law.

What is God's law?

He is all in two commandments

"Love the Lord God of your God with all your heart and all the souls are yours and all the intelligence of yours" and "love your neighbor, like yourself" (Matt. 22,37-39).

Or, as the Apostle Paul says: "For the commandments:" Do not commit adultery, "" do not kill, "" not crady "," not false witness "," not wishing someone else's "and all others concluded in this word: love your neighbor as the very ourselves "(Rome. 13.9).

And in order for the soul to reach the state of love, little to renounce the world, from affection, from wealth - it is necessary to overcome this world in itself, it is necessary to overcome their passions.

Thus, the kingdom of God, which is inside us is achieved by the killing of the flesh.

This has determined the entire further robotable path of Christianity.

The Lord said: "If your right eye seduces you, pull him off and throw it away, for it is better for you to kill one of your members, and not your whole body was entrusted to Geenna. And if your hand seduces you, compartments Her and quit from myself, for it is better for you to kill one of your members, and not the whole body was injected into Geenna "(Matt. 5,29-30).

This main commandment of Askhetism, Holy Apostles disclosed in detail: "Mail the earthly members of yours: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil lust and love" (count. 3, 5). They say that this path of killing flesh is a necessary condition for spiritual life: " If the Spirit killed the carnal business, then you will be alive "(Rome. 8, 13).

The killing of the flesh of the Apostles consider a sign of a Christian:

"... those who are Christ crucified flesh with passions and lusts" (Gal. 5.24).

On the way to the kingdom of God, pride, vague, coin, sensuality, taciousness, envy, sensuality - all this should be overcome.

Shiguigumen Savva.

God is likened to the one who forgives the resentment of the neighbor. We have suffered without roping resentment after death they are accustomed to the face of martyrs and become so close to God that they can save them even their insults.

Who is a villain will remember good, that great person Before God.

Trying insults, troubles, injustice, do not jerk up to blame their neighbor in them. Believe me, the fault is not on it, but on you: the Lord wants to clean your sins, so sends you as if undeserved grief and insult. But again I remind you: she is deserved to you, your sins with different fores, and I will be happy with joy, like a cure for the very Lord, and the offender is considered to be a heavenly friend, the healer of your soul; Then no resentment will disturb you, but will only call you to repentance, humility, patience and increase the health of your soul and make you a kind of god.

If you have little sins, there are a lot of insane, then again do not worry: everyone will get rich retaliation from God. It is said: "Blahiy Eat, albeit you and weezen and the robe of all sorts of verb on you bias, me, for the sake; Raduzey and funned, Yako MZDA is your mall to heavenly "(Matt. 5, 11-12).

Resenting, unfairly undergoing us from anyone, God imposes to us or on vacation sins, or as a reward.

Be quenching for the offender, and there is a strict judgment on it - the Lord who will judge him and you are non-estate. But you do not rejoice, if the offender falls into trouble, yet he was your healer, allowed or straightly sent by God. Condeming him or gloating his trouble, you yourself become a friend of demons, so in truth you will do if you have only good about everyone, for everyone to pray and everyone to charie, especially offenders: they are your healers and spiritual friends.

But you will say: "How to dear when close to offend, does it do unfair?" Well, you do not insult yourself every minute? Do not hoolish his all-name name with your lawlessness with all sorts and a little? And he, instead of execution, gently makes you, about you cares and the necessary sends you in life, and for repentance delivers you to the number of my friends; Doesn't it be because you forgive all the insults from the bottom of my heart? If you do not forgive, and the Lord will not forgive you.

Often, for one greeting, the neighbor soul feels a good change; On the contrary, in one oblique look at the near the grace and love of God is lost. Experience has shown that it is not necessary to think badly about a person, because for it we lose the grace of the Holy Spirit.

For the peace of the soul, you need to teach your soul so that she loves the insulted and prayed for him. We suffer until they accept. If anyone offended you, pray for him to God, and then you will save the world in the shower.

Do not count on the mind and not on health, but for grace. Loss of grace is worse than all losses; No disastrous condition of man who lost grace. Very few returned to her great feats. It is necessary to have incessant vigilance to save it.

Blessed synclitics: a lot of devil with sharp guns. When he did not beat the soul of poverty, - brings wealth to the seduction. He did not overcome her offensive and renovation, "praise and fame crushes on it. We defeated the health of man, - his body is amazing with diseases. For, they can not curse his pleasures, it is attempted to seduce the soul by the involuntary works, striking a person with grave diseases so that through this in the negligent to perplex the love of God (ancient Cader. 7:23).

Every believer that Jesus is Christ, from God is born, and everyone who loving her born, loves and born from him.

What do we love the children of God, learn from when we love God and observe the commandments of him.

For it is love for God so that we keep the commandments of him; And the commandments of him are not black. 1in.5: 1-3)

Teacher! What is the greatest commandment in law?

Jesus said to him: Lord God love your God with all our hearts and all your soul and your all understanding:

This is the first and greatest commandment;

The second one similar to it: Love your neighbor, like yourself;

In this two commandments, the entire law and prophets are approved. (Matt.22: 36-40)

Listen, Israel: Lord, our God, the Lord is one;

And love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and your soul is yours and all your forces.

And yes there will be the words of this, which I command today, in your heart (De.66: 4-6)

Love for God and neighbor is the fruit of the Holy Spirit: the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, mercy, faith, meekness, abstinence. (Gal.5: 22,23)

Love for the neighbor is inextricably linked with love for God: we will love him, because he first loved us.

Who says: "I love God," he hates his brother, that liar: for not a loved by his brother, whom he sees how God can love, whom he does not see?

And we have such a commandment from him so that the loving God loved his brother. (1in.4: 19,21)

In that love that we did not love God, but he loved us and sent his son to the ointment of our sins.

Beloved! If God loved us so much, then we must love each other. (1in.4: 10-11)

Love for God arises when aware of the one who is God. This feeling can start developing on the basis of gratitude to God, when a person realizes how the Lord loves him that God did for him personally and for all mankind in general:

The Apostle Paul writes a wonderful hymn of love: if I tell the languages \u200b\u200bby human and angelic, but I do not have love, then I am copper ringing or kimval sounding. If I have a gift of prophecy, and I know all the secrets, and I have any knowledge and all faith, so I can rearrange the mountains, and I have no love, I am nothing. And if I distribute all the estate my and I will give my body to be burned, but I do not have love, there is no benefit. Love long-tierpit, merciful, love does not envy, love is not exalted, does not proud, it does not claim, not looking for his own, not annoying, does not think evil, it does not rejoice untrue, but so true; Everything covers, everything believes, everything hopes, everything tolerates everything. Love never ceases, although the prophecies will cease, and the languages \u200b\u200bare smelled, and knowledge will abolish. (1 Cor.13: 1-8)

Church of Christ.

If we believe in Christ, then we believe and every his word. And he said: "My church's creation, and the gate of hell will not overcome it." And also said: "If you don't have the flesh of the Son of Human and drinking it to him, then you will not have any life" (John 6:53). Combination of the body and blood of Christ takes place in the church, which he founded, bequeathed apostles and which would be unshakable until the protrusion of the century. Can I simultaneously believe in Christ and not to believe in Christ? Is it possible to believe in Christ and not be in his church?

Saint John the Distrownik was asked how to determine: whether a person approaches God or is moving away from him. He answered this: "The faithful sign of delusion is evasion from church services." Through participation in worships, Orthodox Christians enter the mysterious communication with God and receive fertile forces from him for righteous life. But the path of the Christian is always crowned with suffering, and only with Christ this path is joy!

Holy Apostle Paul says that "the Church of God Livago Stopla and the approval of the truth." The church is founded by the Lord Jesus Christ. Lord Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, which he founded. The Apostle Saint John Theologian says: "The church of God Livago is a pillar and the statement of truth." And she (church) has a foundation for this, because the Lord himself said in the Gospel: "Cold's church and the Gate of hell will not overcome it."

And indeed, the Lord says: "Who will fall on this stone, he will break, and for whom he will fall - he will be crushed." Remembering the story, we know how many opposed the church - and materialists and the communists and others who tried to refute the teachings of the Church. But here we see with you that their trail "walked", and the memory of them almost disappeared. And they were in force, and the church is in persecution. But nevertheless, we see that those who were in force, militant atheists and others - have undergone full fiasco - that is, a complete defeat. And the church, with the help of God, survived. We see as the Roman Empire, who was pagan, was blocked and became a Christian, although there are a lot of christian martyrs burned on the fires, killed, betrayed mu

What is love?

Holy Bible Specifies:

« God is love» (1in. 4,16).

Saint Grigory Theologian (Memory (25.1 / 7.2 / .389):

"We honor love. For, on the saint of the Holy Spirit, our God is love (1in. 4.8), I. Name is a larching to God of all other name».

(Saint Gregory Theologian "Creation" T.1, M., 2010, p.286).

Rev. Simeon New Theologian (12/25/.3.1021):

« Love there is no name but divine essence, reportable and incomprehensible and completely divine. "

(Rev. Simeon New Theologian "Creation" T.3 "Divine Hymns" ed. Trinity-Sergiyev Lavra, 1993, p.220).

(20.12/2.1/.117)

"Message to the Tracks": "... To approve yourself mutually in faith, which is the flesh of the Lord, and in love that is the blood of Jesus Christ».

("Scriptures of husbands of the apostolic. In Russian translation with the introductions and notes to them, Prot. P. Preobrazhensky" Kiev 2001, p.288).

Bishop Anthony (Khrapovitsky), later metropolitan First Hierarch Russian Orthodox church Abroad † 28.7.1936):

« Believe in Christ means believing in « love", Through it, I received my highest excuse, to admit just love for the highest law of life and eager to it."

/ Ep. Anthony (Strapovitsky) "Collected Works" T.2, p.103 / (Quote on the book: S.M. Zarin "Asceticism on Orthodoxy-Christian teaching" M., 1996, p.364).

German theologian and philosopher, one of the largest Christian mystics, Maister Echart. (OK 1260-OK.1328):

"Today is reading the message, in which Sv. John says: "God is love, and the abiding in love is in God, and God in it" ( 1in. 4,16.). However, I say: " God-loveAnd who is in love, that in God, and he is in it. " Saying "God-love", I mean one whole. For think if you say "God is love," then there may be a question of what love, because there is not one love, and thereby you can turn away from the whole. But in order to keep it in front of me, I say: " God-love».

God catches his love all the creations in order to awaken in them the desire to love him. If I ask me that there is God, I will answer: God is the good, as such, he pursues all the creations with his love, and only in order to direct their love back to himself; What happiness gives God; Being the purpose of their aspirations itself. "

About love for enemies

And if you love those who love you, what are your gratitude for you? For and sinners loving them love.

And if you do good to those you do good, what is your gratitude for you? For and sinners do the same.

And if we loom to those who hope to get back, what kind of gratitude to you? For and sinners give to sinners to get back as much.

But you Love your enemies, and the charity, and let's give, not expecting anything; And you will be a great award, and you will be the sons of the Most High; For he is a good and ungrateful and evil.

AND so be merciful like your father Mercy " (Lux. 6,31-36).

You say that he is a villain and let him burn in hellish fire. But I will ask you: if God gives you a good place in Paradise, but you will see in the fire of who you wanted the fire of torment, really and then you will not feel sorry for him, whoever he is, at least the enemy of the church?

And this harmony must first be restored in itself. Otherwise, protecting even the case of truth, It will hard to keep peace-loving feelings to the warring opponents, but without this - everything is not in the prog, and internal harmony is broken and upset.

To another disturbance, there are a soul of thought that people are guilty of disorder, and not she herselfMissed with his. internal turmoil. After all, people even if they are delusions, they are regretful, not contempt and hatred. Thoughts about the guilty of other people what a riot is produced in a mental chramine.

Rev. Siluan Athos:

"The Lord gave us the commandment:" Love your enemies " (MF. 5.44). But how to love them when they make evil? Or how to love those who drive the church holy?

When the Lord went to Jerusalem and Samaris did not accept him, then John theologians and Jacob were ready to reduce fire from the sky and destroy them for it; But the Lord mercifully said: "I did not come to destroy, but save" (Lux. 9,54-56). So we must have one thought: so that everyone saved. The soul regrets enemies and prays for them, that they got lost from the truth and go to hell. This is love for enemies. When Judas conceived to betray the Lord, the Lord graciously had heard him; So we must make mercifully with those who are mistaken and then saved by Mercy of God. "

Rev. Siluan Athos:

"Christ prayed for those who broke it:" Father, do not put them sin; Do not behave much what you are doing. " The archidiakon Stephen prayed for those who beat him with stones, that the Lord would not impose them in sin. And we, if we want to keep grace, must pray for enemies.

"... After the saint for a long time, it prayed and incessantly dismissed the generousness of God, his moles were aware of the mercy of God; For the Savior does not despise the prayers of those who love him. The Lord himself appeared to the Holy Starta, and the knowledgeable everything asked him:

- "Who do you scream your day and night? not about rejected from meand now mushed to enemy - the Okayan's husband, which was once inkom, and now became a Jew? Doesn't you pray for a person about this, my pairies please? "

The elder said to the Lord:

"" About him I pray your goodness, human-loving Vladyko. Looking at your generaries, calling all to salvation and not having a sinful death, but awaiting his appeals, - for the sake of these generosity, I kept praying for it. Your indemptotobia is yours: a prizes, a good shepherd, lost a sheep, call again in your fence and be merciful to him".

For me, it is preferable that at least a little bitten by paradise those unfortunate who live far from God. After all, we, at least, tried that he had a paradise joy, whereas they live in the hellish flour in this life. "

Lowing this statement of an elder, his life-writer writes: "The old man asked God, so that he frees one soul, tormented in hellish tormentAnd he would have sent him to his place.

"We will have love for neighbor, but not love is a hypocrisy, that is, when I choose: this, they say, Lucav, that is still there anything. I have to love everyone like myself, because the church commands so much. In this truth and Orthodoxy. That is, that we love everyone: both the Turks, Arabs, and people of other religions and peoples.

But God does not command me to change my faith by their faith or our customs in favor of their passions. We are not interested in what God will do with them. Everything around is his creation, and he will judge everyone by the court, incomprehensible for our mind "

Prep. Amvrosy Optina:

The church service should certainly go, and you will be sick. The Lord punishes the disease.

It happens that the disease grabs to awaken the soul who fell asleep.

As the medicine benefits the body and the disease - the soul.

The disease eliminates many soulful passions. The Apostle Paul says: "... If our external person ... is smoldering, then the inner ... updated" (2 Cor. 4, 16).

Disease is not misfortune, but the teaching and God's visit; Patient of St. Seraphim visited the Mother of God; And us, if we humbly transfer the disease, visit the highest strength.

Health is the gift of God, - said the PRP. Seraphim Sarovsky - But this gift is not always useful: like any suffering, the disease has the power to clean us from the spiritual bad, to put up sins, to humble and soften our soul, to make you catch up, conscious of your dismaintration and remember God. Therefore, our diseases are needed and our children.

When will the inconvenience or painful sufferings be disturbed, or something like that, then try not to miss the words of St. Scripture from the memory: "Many sorrels are appreciated by the kingdom of heaven."

God does not require a sick feet of bodily, but only patience with humility and thanksgiving.

Came somehow to about. Igumen Anthony is one sick feet and says: "Father, my legs hurt, I can't put bow, and it confuses me." O. Anthony answered him: "Yes, in Scripture it is said:" Son, Lady Mi Heart, "and not Nosi."

St. Feofan Reasanizer:

The Lord is sent to that and illness to remember death and from memory to translate to ensure that the harmfulness becomes becoming finally and prepare for death.

Diseases our biggest part occurs from sins, why best tool To warnings and healing from them is to not sin.

It happens that the god of the disease is covered by others from trouble, which would not be able to avail if they were healthy.

Suffering, if they are angry with sorry, not transforming it, not giving a beneficial reaction (corrections and thanksgiving) - only a fellow evil.

All the greatest grief and misfortune are transferred to people easier than the grievous bodily diseases. The undoubted connoisseur in Torzania, the torment of people - Satan - the face of God himself testified that the bodily diseases are unbearable to all other misfortunes, and that a person who courageously and badly carry other disasters can weaken in his patience and shake in devotion to God by grave illness .

Many diseases of the Lord heals through doctors and other means. But there are diseases to the seraction of which the Lord imposes a ban when he sees that the disease is more necessary for salvation than health.

Great feat - patiently to endure the disease and among them to raise thanksgiving songs to God.

The old man was inspired by his friend: "It is necessary to pray more often:" Lord! Lady I have patience, Tamo Issue. "

However, in those hours, the service in the church goes to the Church, it is better not to lie down, but to grasp the bed, leaning, if wearing a weakness, to the wall, and so pray is cleverly and heartily, with a complete desire and wretch of the spirit.

Father will not give children a stone instead of bread and snake instead of fish. If the natural father does not do so, the more Heavenly Father does not make. And our petitions often go to the petition of the snake and stone. It seems to us that the bread and fish, which is pleased, and the Heavenly Father sees that the asking will be a stone or snake for us - and does not give asking. Father and mother strengthen the warm prayers of the Son before God, but it will give him the best, but at the same time express what they consider to be the best for His Son, that he is alive, healthy and happy. The Lord hears their prayer and suits them the best for her son, only not according to the concept of asking them, but as it is actually for their son: Sends the disease from which the son is dying. For those who have ended with a real life, this is not hearing, but making an informer or the provision of a person who will pray, his fate; For believers, that real life is only preparation for another life, there can be no doubt that the son who prayed, fell ill and died precisely because he heard a prayer and that it was better to move from here to stay here. Say: So what to pray? No, it is impossible not to pray, but in prayers about certain items should always be kept in the mind: "If, Lord, you yourself find it saving." St. Isaac Sirianin and all prayer advises to cut this way: "You, Lord, know that it is useful for me: Soborody is with me in the will of your will."

In the disease, before any other case, should sleep to be cleaned of sins in the sacrament of repentance and in conscience to reconcile with God.

Sin is not a soul only striking, but also the body. In other cases, this is very obvious; In others, even though it is not so clear, but the truth remains true that the body disease is all and always from sins and for sins. Sin is committed in the soul and directly makes it pain, but since the life of the body is from the soul, then from the sickness of the soul, of course, life is not healthy. Already one thing is that sin suggests darkness and Tugu, should adversely act on the blood, in which the basis of body health. But when you remember that he separates from God - a source of life, and puts a person in a breakdown with all the laws acting and in it, and in nature, then it is necessary to make it necessary to make a living sinner after sin. This is the mercy of God, waiting for repentance and circulation. Consequently, the patient before any other thing should be hurried to cleanse from sins and in conscience to reconcile with God. This lashes the path to the beneficial action of drugs. It is known that there was some significant doctor who did not attack the treatment until the patient appears and will not take place. And the harder there was a disease, the more persistently demanded that.

Sv. Right. John Kronstadt:

The patient and the poor - do not complain and do not poss on your destiny, on God and people, do not envy someone else's happiness, beware of the despair and especially despair, will conquer all the fisheries of God.

Beware, so that the hater is not fascinating you in ungrateful or ropot, then you will lose everything.

Do not kill. They kill, by the way, and doctors from the unfortunate disease of the patient, prescribing harmful medicines. Those who do not want to be treated or treated for a patient who need a doctor's help is killed. Those who irritate the patient are killed for whom irritation is disastrous, for example, prone to CHAKHOTE, and those accelerate his death. They kill those that are not served soon, by misuse or for another unkind reason, medical benefits of the patient, hungry bread.

St. Dimitri Rostovsky:

The Lord lack of our good deeds fills or diseases, or sorrow.

Catema Afonov

Brother asked Avvu Arseny: "There are some kind of good people, why do they exposed great grief during death, being amazed by corporal disease?" "Therefore," the elder answered, "so that we, as if to break the salt to the salt, moved there to clean."

One elder spoke of poor Lazar: "There is no virtue that he would not see in him," and only one found in him, the fact that he never roped on the Lord, as it were, on not creative mercy, but with Thank you for my own disease, and therefore God accepted him.

Avva Daniel said: to the extent that the body blooms, the soul is depleted, and the soul flourishes as the body exhausted.

Whenever your body is striking or flammifies hard with a hard hot, it will also languish the troubles of thirst, - if you are a sinner, then transfers this, rejoiced about the future of punishment, the eternal fire and execution on the court and "not neglect" by real (punishments) (Heb. 12, 5), but rejoice that God visited you, and repeat this beautiful saying: "The Lord had strictly punished me, but death did not betray me" (Ps. 117, 18). You are iron, and the fire will clean up your rust. If you, being righteous, fell into the disease, then through this from the smaller you succeed for more. You are gold, - and through the fire became cleaner ... Do we lose sights? - We take it without burden, because through this we are deprived of insatiability organs and educate internal eyes. Did we deed? "We will thank God that we completely lost a vulnerable rumor." Do you weakened with your hands? - But we have an inside of themselves, prepared on the fight against the enemy. Will the body wakes all the body? - But from this, on the contrary, increases the health of the inner man.

Prep. Pimen Multisy:

The Lord of God sends us at the strength of every disease and grief, but gives both patience to make us participants in their suffering; Whoever did not suffer from Christ's sake here, he will be threatened with conscience in the future century, - after all, it was possible to show his love to Christ with patience of illness and sorry, and did not do it, trying to evade and avoid all sorts of grief ... not in anger, not for punishment Lord sends us the Lord of the disease and grief, and from love for us, although not all people, and do not always understand it.

In illness, do not wish death - it's sin.

The best gratitude to God for recovery from the disease is to serve him the rest of the lifetime in the execution of his commandments.

When we see the sick, then we will not badly explain the reason for his illness, but we will try to console him.

If a person will dig for illnesses and grief, will look for the culprit of these sorrows among people (he was old, made), demons, circumstances, will be all means to try to avoid them, the enemy will help him in this, will show him imaginary culprits (boss, orders, the neighbors and other, and so on), hesitates enmity and hatred for them, the desire to revenge, insult and so on, and through it will lead the soul of such a person in darkness, despair, hopeless, desire to go to another place, hide at least under the ground, only It would not be to see, do not hear imaginary enemies, but in fact listening and delighting the actual death enemy of your - a devil, who inspires him all this and wishing to destroy him.

It should not refuse to help the patients of danger to infect their illness.

A visit to the false beds and obsessed sorrowful flesh is eliminated by Besa pride and fornica.

In the disease, on the advice of the doctor, we can allow themselves to use and fast food, but in this case we must remember what we do from the need, and not for pleasure and pleasure.

Attend sorry, God will visit you.

An equal reward receives a sick and who serves him.

Prep. Anatoly Optina:

What is sick, - not trouble: this is sinful people - cleansing; As a fire cleans iron from rust and the disease of the doctor's soul.

Reflect on the fact that everything is fleeting everything, and the future is forever. The patient is needed to console itself with reading Divine Scripture and the suffering of the Savior.

Patience of the disease Lord takes instead of post and prayer.

Athorn Athos Ageny:

Thank God that you are at the good way: Your illness is the Great Dar of God; Danish and Nosno for this and for all praise and thank - and your soul will be saved.

On dangerous patients, the devil is stronger, knowing that it has little time.

It happens that some patients use in fast food as a medicine as a medicine, and after bringing repentance in this, which violated the rules of St. Church on the sickness. But every need to look and act in their conscience and consciousness ... Better from lean foods choose a nutritious and responding to your stomach.

Do not grieve, if for illness sometimes you cannot fulfill the prayer rule, but thank God for the disease, for it is the same as the prayer, if without Ropot and Thanksgiving tolerant.

IN dangerous diseases Take care of first about cleansing your conscience and about the tranquility of your soul.

Blag. Jerome:

I must mainly the reason for the troubles and ropes on God in the days of suffering, many have a lack of faith in God and the hope of His divine fishing. A true Christian believes that everything happens to us in life is done by the will of God; That without the will of God and the hair from our head does not fall to the ground. If God sends him suffering and grief, he sees in this or sending him from God for the sins of him, or the test of faith and love for him; And therefore, he not only does not be sure and does not pursue for God, but, humming to the strong hand of God, still thanks God for not forgetting him; What kind of mercy in his God wants temporary grief to replace for him eternal; Briefly affected by sorrow, he speaks with the righteous David: "Full of me, Lord, Ido Smiril Meh, and I will discuss your justification."

Diseases should take care of their cure.

If you are sick, then invite an experienced doctor and take advantage of the funds prescribed by them. For this purpose, such many benefactor plants arise from the ground. If you reject them in pride, you will speed your death and make a suicide.

St. Grigory Theologian:

Truly body soul is approaching God.

Prep. Nicodemus Svyatogorets:

When, for example, the patient will be comprehensively to endure its illness and transfers, the enemy, knowing that in this way he will be established in the virtues of patience, it approaches to upset such his favor. For this, it begins to bring him to mind many good things that he could do if he was in a different position, and tries to convince him that if he was healthy, how good would have worked God, and how much benefits would bring themselves, and Others: I would go to church, I would have been talking, I would have read and wrote to the clogging of neighbor, etc. Noticing that such thoughts are accepted, the enemy more often leads them to mind, spreads and paint, spends to feel, causes desires and gusts to Affairs of themes represent how well he would have something or other cases, and excites self-shat, which is connected by the hands and legs of the disease. Little little, with frequent repetitions of such thoughts and movements in the shower, the desire goes into discontent and annoyance. The former complacent patience is thus gets upset, and the disease is no longer as his healing from God and the field for the virtues of patience, but as something hostility of salvation, and the desire to be freed from it is not allowed, still in the types of obtaining one Failure to God all. Bridheld to what, the enemy shares his mind and hearts this good purpose of the desire for recovery and, leaving one wishes of health as health, makes it time to look at the disease, not like a prepacle to good, but as something, hostile in itself. From this impatience, not doctorate with adventures, takes strength and turns into ropotiness, and deprives the patient of the former rest from the most complacent patience. And the enemy rejoices that he managed to upset.

Are you sick or poor, terpi. Nothing other than patience of God does not require you. Trying complacently, you will be continuously in kind. When God appears on you, it will see that you are doing good or stay in good, if we gain complacently, whereas a healthy business goes the gaps. Why, wanting to change your position, do you want to exchange the best for the worst?

Prep. Warmsonophy:

Doctor to show corporal disease is not sin, but humility.

The patient must fast on Wednesday and Friday, and on the rest of the days he is allowed to eat rapid but meat.

Prep. Seraphim Sarovsky:

One old man, who suffered to water from the disease, spoke to the brethren who came to him with the desire to treat him: "Fathers, pray that my inner person is not subjected to such a disease, and as for real illness, then I ask God that he does not Suddenly freed me from her, because as far as "the external one is smoldering", so "internal updated" "(2 Cor. 4, 16).

St. Tikhon Zadonsky:

If you are in a long-term disease and have any consolation from the employees to you, then look at those who inside sorrow and sadness, outside the wounds are covered and have no, who would serve them, fed, drove away, raised, washed wounds, - and They suffer.

St. Philaret Moscow:

Facilitation of post for a gentle resistance to the church rule (apostle, 69 rule).

St. Ignatius Bryanchaninov:

One of the parish priests was sick, and, approaching the death, saw Ore surrounded by demons who were preparing to kidnap his soul and reject to hell. Then there were three angels. One of them became in Odra and began to transbry about the soul with a disgusting demon who kept a hole in which all sins of the priest were recorded. Meanwhile, another priest came to contact the fellow. The confession began; The patient, asking the frightened eyes into the book, uttered his sins with selflessness, as if he erupts them from himself, and what did he see? It seems clearly that barely pronounced what sin, as this sin disappeared in the book in which the space remained instead of writing. Thus, by confession, he focused his sins from the demonic book, and, having received healing, spent the rest of the days in deep repentance, taking the neighbor to edify their vision imprinted by wonderful healing.

Igumen Nikon (Sparrow):

The Lord sent you the disease is not in vain, and not so much in punishment for the previous sins, how much of love for you to tear you away from sinful life and put on the path of salvation. Thank you for God, taking care of you.

In addition to prayer, you should have a spiritual interlocutor entertaining you from grief and despondency.

Family relations must be subordinate to spiritual needs. The marriage has a lot of consolation, but is accompanied by many alarms and sorrow, sometimes very deep. Have it in thought so that when it comes like that, to meet that is not as a surprise. Now you are together. And the joy is stronger, and the grief is easier in half.
Take care with my wife mutually my love. This is a source of happy family life. But you need to blame him, so as not to clog. Trust to each other to lose or shake some more fall all afraid. Family is a living cross for chapter! Terepi, conquering the Lord and all by its part, doing everything, in the will of God.
"That God combined, that person does not separate," these words (Matt. 19, 6), the Lord argues the continuity of the Christian marriage. Only one legitimate reason for the divorce is indicated - the infidelity of the spouses. But how to be if something like that will open? Be patient. We have a universal commandment - wearing each other; The more you must mutually fulfill its close faces as spouses. The unwillingness to suffer inflates the troubles, and the trifles are absorbed into the separating wall. Why did the mind go? Slimming life path. Prudence will scatter the conflict. They do not dissipate from the lack of everyday prudence, and more from the reluctance to think good enough and even more from the lack of another goal in life, except for pleasures. Delight stops, and satisfaction with each other; Next - more, here is the divorce.

Saint Feofan Reasanizer

Prerequisite For the formation of a strong Christian family - to find the future spouses of a good confessor. The confessor will play the role of an arbitration judge, following the sorry in the family. ... so that the married couple go ahead, she needs to have a common confessor, for it is like a carpenter who wants to fit two boards: having quitting the growths, it plasters the boards, aligns them and then connects each other.
God's love is definitely satisfied with everything. To save a bad husband, God gives him a good wife. And vice versa.
In life, including family, people - approximately - can be divided into two categories. One category is similar to fly. Fly has the following feature: always sit on everything dirty, flying past fragrant colors. So, there is a category of people like flies. I learned to think and look only evil, not knowing and not looking for a nickname of goodness ... Another category of people looks like a bee. The peculiarity of the bee is to find a beautiful and sweet, passing unclean. Such people have good thoughts, see good and think only about good. I am everyone who is used to accuse others, including spouses, I suggest choose which category they want to be ...
Many people God did not give children specifically to be as a result of this they loved the children of the whole world as their own. God deprived them of a small family, but granted the right, which only gives a little, to belong to the Great Family of Christ.
Parents must and live in Christian and follow their behavior, because children from small age, when they are not even saying, start as a computer, "write" everything that see and hear in the house. And if the children see the father and the mother of their fighting, quarreling, insulting each other, leading bad conversations, then they, like pure cassettes, "write down" everything in themselves and when they will come to age, not wanting, - inheritance from parents All passionate states, - begin and bore, and insult their neighbors of their same speeches that heard from their parents.
Young people, from early years, heating interest in another sex, "the trigger" ", without waiting for this time favorable. And when the proper period is suitable, they can no longer feel joy, because they have experienced her ahead of time. But those young men and girls who were careful in this matter, retain the peace of mind, and waiting for the right time, they are experiencing greater joy. Look at those women who retained chastity before the wedding. They have a peaceful spirit, although burdened with many worries. I always pay special attention to the fact that, before marriage, young people should live as a pious and guard their chastity, which gives spiritual, and bodily health.
If both the bride and the bride with love, struggle to keep their virgin, then in the sacrament of marriage, when the priest will place the crowns on them, they will abundantly fit the grace of God. Because, as Saint John Zlatoust says, the mint of the mystery of marriage is the symbols of victory over enjoyment.
Subsequently, the spouses should, as far as possible, cultivate the virtue of love so that two always merged together and so that together with them the third is our sweet Christ.
The reverent lifestyle is the main basis for both family and monastic life. The modern world resembles a field on which wheat sowed. When she slept, they came the pigs and all her broke and flooded. And now we have such a picture: a swift land, mixed with wheat mud, and only someone sticks out the surviving ears ...
One person asked me: "Geronda, what connects her husband most of all?" "Appreciation," I replied to him. One person loves the other for giveing \u200b\u200bhim. Wife gives her husband confidence, devotion, obedience. The husband gives his wife confidence that it is under his cover, protection. The wife is a household house, but also the main maid in it. Husband is the ruler of the house, but also a porter of his gravity.
Between themselves, spouses must have a cleaned love - in order to receive mutual consolation from each other and be able to fulfill their spiritual duties. To live in consent, they must, first of all, put in the foundation of life Love - that precious love, which is in spiritual nobility, in sacrifice, and not love false, worldly, carnal. If love and sacrifice is present, then one person always puts himself in place of another, understands him, is painful for him. And taking the neighbor in his suffering heart, a person takes Christ in his heart, who again fulfills him with his inexpressible joy.
When one of the spouses loves the other, then, even being away from him - if circumstances are required, - it will still be close, because for the love of Christ there is no distances. However, if, God forbid, there is no love between the spouses, they, even beside him, may be, in fact, far from each other. Therefore, each of the spouses should try to keep her love for another, making himself sacrificing for him.

Old man of Paisius Svyatogorets

We will not be careless about those who live with us, because the greatest punishment and indeed torment is prepared by those who are neat about their home.
In a marriage, it is necessary to sacrifice everything and endure everything to preserve mutual love; If it is lost - everything is gone. True wealth and the greatest happiness is when the husband and wife will not disappointed between themselves, are connected to each other as one flesh. Such spouses, at least lived poorly and were dirty, may be happier, because they enjoy true happiness and live in the usual calm.
Appreciate the most unanimous in the family and do everything and directly to ensure that peace and silence are constantly preserved. Then the children will imitate the virtues of their parents, and virtue will flourish all over the house, and in all matters there will be a flexusion.

St. John Zlatoust

Without a crown, not even minutes. Do not take abortions. Nightmanly scary will answer the living God for violation of the Holy Commandment of God: "Do not kill!"
Have random relationships harmful to the soul and physical body.

Older Nikolai Guryanov

You should always intelligible, for which the Lord joined you for marriage, married to the flesh: It is you must be incessantly aggregate to achieve the kingdom of God. If God gives Chad, and they also educate and prepare the Napa to the heritage of eternal benefits, because the temporary benefits are deceptive, short-term and do not make up the goals of our life; Christians are promised to beneficial, spiritual, eternal; Excite each other to the love of God and the Hornstones and love to neighbor. Having always in mind the Heavenly Fatherland, you must consider yourself on earth by wanderers and aliens; Time to take time and use it on the truth, and not on business empty, fussy and sinful; Every day, consider the great gift of the grace of God, given to us for our appeal to God, for correction, for approval and improvements in virtue, to save the soul.
If you live in mutual love, you will lend to yourself and the offspring of God's grace - and God settles in you and grows all the undertakings and your affairs of your blessed success: because there is love - there is God, and where God is good there. With love, weaving in the house of your world and tranquility, for love long-suffering and everything covers and does not allow a person to annoy, angry, be an intense, offend in a word or affair.

Holy Righteous John Kronstadt

What a modest one imperceptible to the world seems a feat of an honest marriage ... just two people, husband and wife, loving each other and praying together in front of home icons - what value can it have, what can they help people, Fatherland, mankind? But, unexpectedly for everyone, the mighty full-flow rivers, transforming and sanctifying world pour out of these pure springs.
Honest marriage is a Christian feat. Through the tests of everyday work and long separation, riches and poverty, honor and humiliation, passions of youth and unbelievable old age, righteous spouses are cleaning their mutual love, captured by love to the Almighty. Rev. Grigory Tsaregradsky, who was revealed by the vision of the future terrible trial of sinners and the heavenly Righteousness of the righteous, narrowing and celebration of saints of married couples: The Lord called on the regiment, beautiful very: the faces were like a rose color, clothes were like snow from petals. These are husbands and wives, honestly living in marriage. They diligently visited the temples of God, diligently prayed to God and made the cases of mercy. Graciously accepted their Lord, looked, saying: "Get my beloved, inherit the kingdom prepared by you from the addition of the world." So roads in the eyes of the Most High feat of an honest Christian marriage, multiplied by the holy love in the world, raising children in purity and piety leading new generations for the better.
The feat of the creation of a homemade small church is now one of the most important, perhaps the most important for Orthodox laity. No external loud cases: neither charity, nor alms nor political "patriotism" - will not replace this quiet, pressing for the entire Russian church of doing. According to the Apostolic, the faithful should be able to love a man who sees every day, otherwise he lies when he says that he loves the invisible God. Without a living, the Lord of the Benefit love for the most native and relatives of people and the fulfillment of church rites, and posts, and prayers, and high spiritual gusts will remain empty Pharisees, Lit. In the name of the salvation of his own soul and the souls of near, in the name of the salvation of the Motherland, the Orthodox spouses are designed to finish the feat of an honest marriage. As the Zenitsa Oka is needed to take care of the treasure of home foci. All the strength of humble and mild love should do it. The ruining of the home church is the rules of the temple of God. It is impossible to allow not only gap, but also a mutual feeling. It is necessary to wake up a soul to each other, learn through all the layers, disadvantages, even the vices again and re-prompted the saint and beautiful image of God in her chosen one.
Recall that the souls of all of us are crippled by the evil science of a confused society, and we will be merciful, we will learn to understand, transfer and do notice the physician of our loved ones. Do not judge and execute each other two loving, and help his beloved to free himself from the networks, which His universal evil enthrall, and leak in Divine Beauty.
It must be remembered that each person is the wonderful Creation of the Most High, you need to be able to admire it and sublime him with merciful love. It is difficult for married ministry, it often requires a great patience, meekness, self-sacrifice. But this work is rewarded by a hundredfold. Among the worldly malice is almost impossible to stand alone. (Few calls on the Lord to direct service to yourself, on the path of the night, and without calling, it is impossible to take a person for this hardest cross - he will only dare his mental strength.) A solid support on a life road to heaven is for those who love the sacred Union of the bobers for loving spouses. And under the chilling winds of the world, a man goes dressed in the warmth of the family hearth, and returns from the muddy sea of \u200b\u200bwater to the homeland of grace, and dwells his strength in the transfer of troubles and sorrow. The benefit of the one whose house has become a small church under the cover of the Almighty and the Gloomy Creator!
It is necessary to remember that the gap or distortion of the marriage is a betrayal against a person entrusted to you by God. In the sacrament of marriage and the greatest responsibility is concluded. On the terrible court of the Lord, the one who was engaged only by himself or external affairs and neglected the soul of the closest person, hear the question that was once fareed by God to Fratubyetse Caina: "Where is your brother? Where is your sister? " A terrible marriage means crushed children's souls.

Archbishop Tashkent and Central Asian Vladimir (Okim)

When weddings, they drink a common bowl: Wine mixed with water, drink to the bottom. Wine - joy of living together, water (and her more) - common sorrow, troubles and pains ...
Roses will be only at the beginning of the road, and Turning (not to avoid anyone) will be shown later. But their number and soreness will depend on your wisdom, and most importantly - love. If your feelings include the apostolic definition of the concept of love, you will be not far from happiness.

Archimandrite John (Peastery)

If the husband and wife are unfulfilled and dobrynna, the marriage will be prosperous and beautiful, for they will always have a binding, consent and peace, in which the great well-being ... But since Satan, the enemy of human shower, and in the dopy Union of Love and Consent tries To break, then the husband and wife must be indulgent to each other in cases of meek, and with love to endure each other, and then consent and the world will continue.
We see in the stories that many wives of their husbands corrupted and coincided with themselves. Therefore, husbands should not give wives of relaxation and allow them to do everything that they want, but must keep the desire of their unreasonable pleasure to, like others, not suffer. Eva began sniped and prevented her. Eve, bespread, Adam prevented and coincided with the deceased. So now it happens. The same ancient sniped to his wife is starting, and it imposes her, and through his husband's wife to lawless affairs. Husband, be careful, and not in all the will and the advice of the wife of the wife, so that it did not have you to possess you and did not lead, where he wants. Eva always has its own temper. Love it until God is afraid of God. Let her, in the apostolic word, is afraid of you, and not you, and let her obey you, and not you.

Saint Tikhon Zadonsky

The main misconception relative to family life is that everyone is looking for and waiting for the family life of happiness as something ready that they must certainly find without work and efforts. But such a finished happiness in any kind and nowhere is there on our land: everything is difficult to get here.
Imaging that the happy choice of the party is ensured forever family happiness and that it is reproaching the first tendency, many spouses are now lowering from sight of the fact that at the first time of marriage they still do not know each other as it should, not even themselves in their new position. Only standing close to each other, as the spouses stand, and only in time they can explore the image of thoughts, tastes, tendency, habits of each other, and, to the surprise of many, in the chief of hearts, together with advantages, attracted love, there are also significant drawbacks.
Detection of deficiencies, unexpected thoughts, desires and demands sometimes affect both spouses as something extraordinary, for happiness dangerous and proving a mistake made in the choice. With the further detection of flaws, this thought is confirmed, and multiplying collisions, disputes and tights with a lack of observation and condescension to each other are taken for evidence that the happiness flies that marriage failed that it is impossible to live together that it is impossible to break. Meanwhile, as the rules of Christian life demanded from both spouses with gratitude to God for the advantages found in each other to be on guard and wait for the detection of deficiencies as the inevitable affiliation of each person; Examine them, consider them with all the condesception, which requires mutual love, and take with meekness and patience for correcting each other.

Ambrose (Klyucharev), Archbishop Kharkov

In family life, everyone must forget themselves completely, think only about others, "such a relation to each other by family members between his family saves the family so that they will all feel that each of them is impossible without others.
Maidening the life of the bridegroom tries to treat himself more difficult, and to a new friend of life more carefully, and if some shortcomings are noted in the bride, then they are not to her, but to her parents, and try everything to cover with love. Seeing the love and location of her husband, in turn, and the wife tries to pay the same and, noticing the roughness of the character of a husband, not a wonderful wife, covering everything with love, it is unnoticed to correct these shortcomings, roughness and acts as a heart manager very skillfully, and through it Mutual love relatives to each other two creatures may be at first former and completely opposite to each other, bring together and are made close and wait to the fact that one heart is formed and one spirit.

Holy Righteous Alexy Movies

The spirit of an explicit or secret pride and vanity possesses us, so almost every one of us thinks highly about yourself and little and low about others ... The uplighted, praising yourself and humiliating, despising the neighbors, will we become with humility to serve them? Hence, in the family and society, instead of love, consent and mutual services reign mutual disadvantage, mutual incompleteness, envy and hatred to each other, quarrels, plot, discord.

Archimandrite Kirill (Pavlov)

The Christian family has a container of love. Love requires the continuous and most tender, most meek, impassive, enthusiastic relationships. But they are unattainable as heaven, for those who have not risen to the step of obedience in the scenario of spiritual climb.

Archpriest Valentin Amphitheatré

For homework, you need to have a soft character, not to be a formalist and make constant mutual concessions. You do not need to be very persistent in your views and locations, especially in trifles, because the little things fill most of our lives. You need to be always ready for small victims for your spouse. Good mood is clean, clear, smokeless air of family life. It is difficult to breathe everything with a bad mood and character of grilling, picky, intolerant, demanding and boring.

Theologian German Shimansky

Legal purpose of connecting to a woman should be the birth and raising children. When only sensual pleasures entering into the BPak, it should only please the lusts of his flesh, then he is deeply mistaken and such a connection with a woman makes it possible to the life relationship, the versatile consequences of which are quite naturally responding to him and his offspring.

Rev. Maxim Confessor

The shape of the wedding blessing of the bishop, as it comes to us the text of one of the ancient liturgies, was simple and contained a brief prayer prosperity: "Bless, Lord, the ring is, .. for how it cries a man's finger, .. so the grace of the Holy Spirit, let him surround The bride and groom so that they see the sons and daughters to the third and fourth clause, which yes praise your name. " This blessing reveals the essence of Christian marriage: the spiritualization of sensual love, the appeal of God's assistance, which strengthens the joint introduction to the life of good, saving roots of morality and continue these spirituals in the offspring.
... Rings on their hands show that from now on, the Lord with them to put them with a "fortified city and iron pillar" and remind them of the "friendship of youth, about love" and their desire to "be the shrine of the Lord, the rear of his fruit" (Ier . 1, 18; 2, 3). They are reported to jealousy to glorious cases, to the testimony of truth, to the perception of generosity of God, because there is a blessing of God: "The Lord is awake over the word with his own, so that it will come soon" (Ier. 1, 12). This is the key to the fortress of their livelihood and its meaning; This is the mystery of the preservation of mutual love, nevertheless in time. God sends an angel to march before them and lead them to the kingdom of heaven. To open up for himself, this is the kingdom, which, according to the word of Christ, "inside you are" - inside their joint love, - help the possessed prayers and the blessing of the church, taught by him in the wedding rank.

Archpriest Gennady Nefedov

How happy home, where everyone is children and parents, without a single exception - they will believe together in God. In such a house, the joy of the partnership reigns. Such a house as the anticipation of the sky. It can never be alienation.
After making marriage, the first and most important duties of the husband - in relation to his wife, and at his wife - in relation to her husband. They two must live for each other, give life away for each other. Before everyone was imperfect. Marriage is the connection of two halves into a single whole. Two lives are connected together into such a close alliance that it is no longer two lives, but one. Each to the end of his life bears the sacred responsibility for happiness and the highest good of the other.
Wedding Day It is necessary to remember always and allocate it especially among other important dates of life. This is the day, the light of which will cover all other days until the end of life. The joy from the conclusion of marriage is not stormy, but deep and calm. Over the marriage altar, when the hands are connected and the holy vows are pronounced, the angels are inclined and quietly sing their songs, and then they donate a happy couple with their wings when their joint life path begins.
The first lesson to learn and execute is patience. At the beginning of family life, both the advantages of the nature and the shortcomings and the disadvantages and features of the habits, taste, temperament, about which the second half did not suspect. Sometimes it seems that it is impossible to pass together to each other that there will be eternal and hopeless conflicts, but patience and love overcome everything, and two lives merge into one, more noble, strong, full, rich, and this life will continue in the world and peace.
Duty in the family is disinterested love. Everyone must forget his "I", dedicating himself to another. Everyone must blame themselves, not the other, when something goes wrong. Excerpt and patience are needed, it can be impatible to spoil everything. A sharp word may slow down the merge of the shower for the months. On both sides there should be a desire to make marriage happy and overcome everything that bothers it. The strongest love most needs her daily strengthening. Most of all is unforgivable rudeness in his house, in relation to those who we love.
Another secret of happiness in family life is attention to each other. Husband and wife must constantly provide each other signs of delicate attention and love. The happiness of life is made up of some minutes, from small, born, forgetting pleasures from a kiss, smiles, good glance, heart compliment and countless small, but good thoughts and sincere feelings. Love also needs her daily bread.
Another important element in family life is the unity of interests. Nothing from the worries of his wife should seem too small, even for the gigantic intelligence of the most great of her husbands. On the other hand, each wise and the faithful wife will be more interested in the affairs of her husband. She will want to learn about every new project, plan, difficulty, doubt. She will want to find out which of his undertakings succeeded, and what is not, and be aware of all his daily affairs. Let both of the hearts share and joy and suffering. Let them divide the cargo of worries in half. Let everything in their lives will be common. They should go to church together, praying alongside, bring together the burden of concerns about their children to the footsteps of God and everything is expensive for them. Why not to talk to each other about their temptations, doubts, secret desires and not help each other sympathy, the words of encouragement. So they will live with one life, not two. Each in their plans and hopes should be sure to think about the other. From each other there should be no secrets. Friends they should have only common. Thus, two lives are somewhat in one life, and they will share and thoughts, and desires, and feelings, and joy, and grief, and pleasure, and each other's pain.
Fear the slightest start of misunderstanding or alienation. Instead of restraining, a stupid, careless word is pronounced - and now between the two hearts, which were before that were one whole, a small crack appeared, it grows and rummaged until they were forever torn apart from each other. Did you say something in a hurry? Immediately ask for forgiveness. Did you have some kind of misunderstanding? It does not matter whose wines, do not let him stay between you for an hour. Hold from a quarrel. Do not go to bed, hopping anger in the shower. In family life there should be no place for pride. You never need to teach your sense of offended pride and to quiverably calculate who exactly should ask for forgiveness. Truly loving such a casuism do not do, they are always ready and give up, and apologize.
Without the blessing of God, without sanctifying the marriage, all congratulations and good wishes of friends will be empty sound. Without his daily blessing of family life, even the most gentle and true love will not be able to give everything that you need to thirst for heart. Without the blessing of the sky, all the beauty, joy, the value of family life can be destroyed at any moment.
One word covers everything is the word "love". In the word "love" - \u200b\u200ba whole volume of thoughts about life and debt, and when we closely and carefully study it, each of them acts clearly and distinctly.
It is necessary that the hands of her husband, inspired by love, knew how to do everything. It is necessary that every loving husband has a big heart. Many suffering should find assistance in the real family. Each husband's husband's husband should unite her in love to Christ. From love for it, it will pass through the trials in faith. Sharing her life filled with faith and prayers, he will connect his life with heaven. United on Earth with the general faith in Christ, interpret their mutual love in love for God, they will be forever connected and in heaven. Why, on the earth of the heart, spend years, fucked in one, gossiping their lives, merging with souls in one union, which can be achieved only behind the coffin? Why not immediately strive for eternity?
Not only the happiness of the life of the husband depends on his wife, but also the development, and growth of its character. A good wife is the blessing of heaven, the best gift for her husband, his angel and the source of innumerable goods: her voice for him is the sweet music, her smile illuminates his day, her kiss - the guard of his loyalty, her hands - his health and his own life Her hardworking is the key to his well-being, its economy is his most reliable manager, her lips is the best adviser, her breasts - the most soft pillow on which all worries are forgotten, and her prayers are his lawyer in front of the Lord.
The loyal wife does not need to be either a dream of a poet, nor a beautiful picture, nor ephemeral creature, to which it is scary to touch, but you need to be a healthy, strong, practical, hardworking woman who can perform family responsibilities, and noted after all the beauty given to the soul High and noble goal.
The first demand for his wife is loyalty, loyalty in the broadest sense. Her husband's heart should trust her without fears. Absolute confidence is the basis of faithful love. The shadow of doubt destroys the harmony of family life. A faithful wife proves his character and behavior that she is worthy of confidence of her husband. He is confident in her love, he knows that her heart is invariably betrayed him. He knows that she sincerely supports his interests. It is very important that the husband can entrust his loyal wife maintaining all their homework, knowing that everything will be fine. Mottry and extravagancy wives destroyed the happiness of many married couples.
The woman is endowed with the gift of sympathy, delicacy, inspiration ability. It makes her like a messenger of Christ with a mission to relieve human suffering and sorrow.
If knowledge is the power of a man, then softness is the power of a woman. The sky always blesses the house that lives for good. A devoted wife has the most confidence in her husband. She does not hide anything from him. She does not listen to the words of admiration for others who cannot retell him. She shares with him every feeling, hope, desire, every joy or chagrin. When she feels disappointed or offended, she can experience the temptation to find sympathy, told about his experiences to close friends.
The main center of life of any person should be his house. This is the place where children grow - grow physically, strengthen their health and absorb everything that will make them true and noble men and women. In the house where children grow, all their surroundings and everything that happens, affects them, and even the smallest detail can have a beautiful or harmful effect. Even nature around them forms a future character. All the wonderful that children's eyes see, imprinted in their sensitive hearts. Wherever the child was brought up, the impressions of the place where he grew is affected. Rooms in which our children will sleep, play, live, we have to do so beautiful as the means allow. Children love paintings, and if the paintings in the house are clean and good, then they affect them wonderfully, they make them sophisticated. But the house itself, clean, tastefully removed, with simple decorations and with a pleasant surrounding view, has an invaluable influence on the upbringing of children.
Great art - live together, loving each other gently. This should begin with the parents themselves. Every house is similar to its creators. The sophisticated nature does and the house is sophisticated, the rude man and the house will make rude.
It can not be deep and sincere love where egoism rules. Perfect love is perfect self-denial.
Parents should be as they want to see their children - not in words, but in practice. They must teach their children an example of their lives. Another important element of family life is the relationship of love to each other; Not just love, but cultivated love in the daily life of the family, the expression of love in words and actions. The courtesy in the house is not formal, but sincere and natural. Joy and happiness needed to children no less than plants need air and sunlight. The richest inheritance that parents can leave children is a happy childhood, with gentle memories of father and mother. It will illuminate the coming days, will store them from temptations and will help in the harsh weekdays of life when children leave parental shelter.
