Don’t Judge!

The Royal Path of Salvation

Husbands, Love Your Wives

On the Purpose of Life

Archpriest Andrei Ovchinnikov

Let us talk about life. Do you have anyone interesting to talk to about this? If not, then don’t worry as I have very few myself.

How Should We Build Our Prayer Rule?

It is impossible to imagine a meaningful Christian life without a daily prayer rule. But what should this prayer rule be? How long or short, and consisting of which prayers? How can we prevent our daily prayer rule from becoming purely a formality? What should we pay particular attention to, and what mistakes should we avoid?
