In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, I want to tell you an interesting story
that happened to me in 2013, it was March 3,
I went to the liturgy in the church as usual,
before everyone else, in the altar on my right side,
in the far corner there is a table for lighting, for laying out vestments,
such an auxiliary table on it a photograph of my
spiritual father, the baton of Iona of Odessa, this is this photograph
and so my gaze
is drawn like a magnet to this
icon instead of the folded ones.
on a stick of hands on a tank, I spiritually see a large tank for a blessing,
children in such and such a city the beginning of repentance,
we went to these cities for the rites of repentance, and for me it was not new to go,
but such things were a little new for me,
we are taught that everything, everything that happens to us, everything is from the evil one and
nothing is needed, you can not accept, in general, reject everything,
well with this thought I began the service,
so before the izhihiruvima I had confusion, some kind of reasoning,
after the izhihiruvima the main part of the liturgy began and in general it all went away,
so when the service ended,
again like a magnet my eyes were directed to the photograph of Jonah's tank,
well I generally with doubts ...
left, so I left the temple, in general in the evening,
at Vespers from Sunday to Monday,
again I go into the altar again my eyes fall like a magnet,
and on the photograph ion's heads and again the same thing
here - there is a blessing in such
and such a city we will begin with repentance,
I am generally all confused.
here during the service the evening began during the service I again look
and reason whether this is a temptation or to do or not to do I understand here such a spiritual
eye again,
that you, like everyone else, do not fulfill my blessing,
here eh of course I was confused,
in general I got ready, but it was already late, because it was necessary on Sunday evening...
eh to leave, well time was lost,
well generally since Monday morning,
here I went to - the rite of repentance,
but generally because of disobedience I missed - one city, got only to the second, why?
because on the fourth and fifth day in these cities
the rites of repentance were performed -
Nicholas the Redeemer the Second
and therefore they are ready for this rite of repentance,
and my father personally blessed me during his lifetime
for these rites of repentance for taking the oath of allegiance,
I want to say right away that some share it.
I compare it with the fact
that we, as pagans, who renounced God, the Tsar,
one might say, our fatherland, we were, in general, sinners,
but the path of a sinner, let's say, a pagan to the truth,
here we were, in the spiritual sense, such pagans, unconscious and not understanding sin,
in general rejecting the mercy of God's grace, and the path of a pagan is not only repentance,
but also the acceptance of Orthodox baptism and union with Orthodoxy,
but if we repent of that,
which means there was a sin of apostasy,
that the people did not support, did not protect their sovereign, this is the sin of the Russian people.
multinational Russian people, and failure to accept
the rank of the oath of allegiance is equivalent to the fact
that we repented, but did not do the deeds.
The oath of allegiance is, uh, that is, uh, like a seal,
uh, of our union with God,
with the Tsar and with the Fatherland, because, uh, some part, mm, let's say,
an insignificant part after this oath of allegiance,
after 1917 they began to use it in the armed forces of the USSR,
then in - that is, more chopped off, truncated,
now the oath is already given in modern countries of the former Soviet Union,
well, here is the main thing that kind of focused my attention in this oath,
these are the words of the last reasoning, that is, we were always taught in the army, I served in the army,
that unquestioning obedience is the execution of an order,
that in wartime for failure to execute an order,
that means the highest measure of punishment, but the oath of allegiance.
this is the true oath, that is, the prototype from which all other oaths were taken,
including those for countries - other,
that is, continents and in general other countries not Esserian,
that is, this is an extreme reasoning, that is, we first reason
whether this is compatible with my faith, with my state and with my, that is,
attitude, that is, to my family.
