Алексия ![]() [Сретенский монастырь / Издательство Сретенского монастыря] Рассказы Натальи Романовой-Сегень написаны простым, живым языком. Это истории из жизни людей военного и послевоенного времени, а также из жизни наших современников — порой смешные, порой поучительные, а порой и трагические. ![]() [Интернет-журнал / Семья] Как домашнее изучение Священного Писания можно сделать увлекательным и интересным для детей, вписать в жизнь семьи? Несколько советов многодетной мамы. ![]() [Интернет-журнал / Культура] О том, какие русские вопросы мучили паренька с американского Юга, как Юрий Гагарин помог славистам, чем интересны храмы XIX века и о чем рассказывает собор Василия Блаженного. ![]() [Интернет-журнал / Общество] Можно ли давать благословение на войну и когда? Кого, согласно заповедям Господа, призывали на воинскую службу, а кого нет? Почему царю Давиду не позволено было построить Храм? ![]() [Встреча с Православием / Жизнь Церкви] О курице в пост и тарелке святителя Филарета Московского, молоке и людоедстве, о том, как поститься детям, когда допустимы послабления в посте и о чем следует особо поразмышлять на досуге. Мониторинг СМИ![]() 17-й год верующие Свято-Владимирского прихода молятся в крошечном помещении напротив захваченного раскольниками кафедрального Владимирского собора. ![]() В Киеве в очередной раз намереваются решать судьбу Киево-Печерской лавры. Уже имеется петиция с требованием отобрать лавру у канонической Церкви Московского Патриархата и передать самосвятам т. н. «киевского патриархата» во главе с Михаилом Денисенко, именующим себя «патриархом Филаретом». ![]() Папой быть трудно. И созвучие с известным романом Стругацких тут отнюдь не случайное: ведь папа для детей тоже в известном смысле — божество. В их глазах он всемогущ и всеведущ, он все знает и все умеет, он карает и милует, он закрывает собой от бед и грозно спрашивает с провинившихся. Вопрос лишь в том, каким богом ты станешь для своих детей. English Edition![]() [News] After Greece adopted the Anti-Racism Law that prohibits discrimination against the so-called “sexual minorities”, the next step that Europe is waiting for from Greece is legalization of same-sex unions. ![]() [News] They came up to the church doors and demanded the right to celebrate divine services in turns with the community of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Crying out their demands, they made an attempt to enter the church by force, the UOC press service reported. ![]() [News] "These are our religious principles. And in a changing world, we would like to reaffirm that this is who we are and who we intend to be,” said Carson-Newman President Dr. Randall O’Brien. ![]() [Saints. Asceties of Piety. Church Holy Days ] "On Christmas, we celebrate the destruction of the barrier that separated man from God. And how do we know that this barrier has indeed been destroyed? Well, for one, through the Saints of the Church. The Saints show us that man can personally see and communicate with God." ![]() [News] The parish was established in 2011 with parishioners celebrating the divine services in a small rented space. They tried to collect funds four years running, and in 2015 managed to buy a building of the Methodist church with space for a kindergarten, a library and a trapeza. Over a million dollars was fundraised for the purchase and reconstruction of the building. More than 10,000 people donated to the project. ![]() [News] Since the Paris terrorist attacks on November 13, the State Department has admitted 276 Syrian refugees into the United States – 270 Sunni Muslims (97.8 percent), five (1.8 percent) described merely as “Moslem,” and one Christian (0.3 percent), according to data from the State Department Refugee Processing Center. ![]() [Homilies and Spiritual Instruction] "The Sabbath is the day of completion, when creation had been finished and pronounced good, but it is also the day of potential . The Sabbath is therefore a day of blessing, but also a day of promise. It’s a day for remembering that we didn’t make this world, Someone Else did. This world was already here before we entered the picture, and it was already blessed even without our presence. It is a blessed and good thing." ![]() [News] The head of the European Coptic Organizations Union, Medhat Kelada, led the effort to revoke the blasphemy law, saying that it has no place in the country that millions of Egyptians hoped for in the wake of the Brotherhood’s rule. ![]() [News] Father Sergei conducted the ceremony for Tim Peake’s Soyuz FG rocket at the launch pad ahead of tomorrow's mission ![]() [Homilies and Spiritual Instruction] "The theology of our Church is not a double-headed theology. It is not academic. It does not begin and end in libraries and university laboratories. The theology of our Church begins at the Holy Altar! That is the greatest theological Table which produces the one theology – the theology of the Immaculate Lamb. On the Holy Altar is the sacrificial lamb. It is the broken, divided and never expended Christ. He is the centre “of the entire Church.” He is the lighting strength, the source of sanctity, from which all of creation, strengthened both in logic and intellect sends up the eternal doxology." ![]() [News] “Iconography, is an aesthetic embellishment, a beauty, and this beauty is not created in order to be admired in itself, but is created in order to direct us to an unseen but real celestial beauty: the glory of the Kingdom of the Most Holy Trinity." ![]() [News] The calling of hierarch and a monk in the truest sense of the word, are perfectly united in this one individual. It brought us great joy that His Eminence decided to prayerfully mark the occasion of the anniversary of the 35th anniversary of his consecration in the Convent of St Elizabeth in Buchendorf, Germany. Many admirers and spiritual children of Vladyka Mark came on this Sunday, November 29, 2015, to join in prayer. All wished to welcome him for his greeting at Liturgy, scheduled for 4 am. ![]() [Churches and Monasteries] Mount Sinai is a special place for Christians. Here God appeared to Moses, spoke with him and gave him ten commandments; here St. John the Climacus, Abbot of Mount Sinai, lived at the Monastery of St. Catherine, at the foot of the mountain. And the mount itself with its steep steps is a visible symbol of asceticism. ![]() [Homilies and Spiritual Instruction] In these troubling times of terrorism, we can pray Psalm 37, a Psalm of the Prophet David. ![]() [Saints. Asceties of Piety. Church Holy Days ] St. Jesse of Tsilkani left his homeland to evangelize the people of Georgia and gave his life in asceticism to Christ and the people of his diocese. His selfless giving is an example for us all to follow in our own situations. St. Jesse gave his life to Christ. Through his prayers and those of all the saints we too can follow Christ, even to our last breath, and say with St. Jesse and our Lord: “Lord, into Thy hands I commit my spirit!” Српска верзиjа![]() [Друштво] Шта је у Библији речено за рат? Ко је по заповестима Господа могао бити позван у војну службу, а ко није? Зашто су козаци носили минђушу у уху? Зашто цару Давиду није било дозвољено да сагради Храм? И зашто се људима, који су се враћали из рата, давала епитимија? Говори протојереј Олег Стењајев. ![]() [Духовни источници] Путеви и начини којима Промисао Божји води људе вечном спасењу неиспитљиви су и недознајни. Људе, који се са вером и побожношћу предају Богу и према моћима својим творе свету вољу Његову, Бог проводи кроз разне околности и невоље, док их на крају не доведе у Царство Своје Небеско. ![]() [Вести] Храм Христовог Васкрсења у Пребиловцима и Српско национално друштво "Пребиловци" позивају све оне који имају информације о именима страдалих на подручју Доње Херцеговине да помогну да овај списак буде приведен крају. ![]() [Вести] У Дубровнику се затире све што је српско, похрваћивање Срба врши се фалсификовањем историје, па је тако православни храм у центру тог града назван "Црква Свјетог благовјештења" - пишу "Вечерње новости". ![]() [Друштво] Погледајте: визиткарту, пропусницу у одређени географски простор представља признавање исправности тога што се на датој територији законодавно оправдава грех. То је заиста врло опасан моменат. ![]() [Духовни источници] У савременој религиозној литератури стално се мијешају два различита појма: "дух" и "душа", што доводи до многих нејасноћа и недоумица. Зато бисмо се хтјели кратко зауставити на овом питању. |
