Pray to saints who themselves suffered from illnesses

Bishop Panteleimon.
Photo: Pavel Smertin During illness - your own or that of your relatives - it is good to pray to the saints who themselves suffered from similar ailments; for example, the Monk Dosifei, who suffered from a pulmonary disease.

When a person prays, it is easier for him to endure illness, because a certain core is formed in his consciousness, trust in God’s providence in all circumstances.

If a person does not trust the providence and mercy of God, he falls into despondency and despair, therefore it is very important that a person has faith in his soul. It may be imperfect - a person may not know the Creed, may not read the Gospel, but if there is faith, trust in God, one must pray, and then peace will come to the soul.

Prayer may not necessarily consist in repeating the words that the saints left us; You can pray in your own words.

When a person is sick, God is especially close to him. During illness, many people felt the special presence and help of God.

organizations

In the 1970s - early. In the 1980s, he headed the Brotherhood of St. John the Evangelist[20].

On May 28, 1991, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Rus', the Holy Demetrius Sisterhood was created, whose spiritual director was Archpriest Arkady Shatov.

In September 1995, he represented the St. Tikhon's Theological Institute at the General Assembly of Syndesmos in the Kykkos Monastery on Fr. Cyprus.

Since 2005, he has been Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Moscow Hospital named after St. Alexei.

On October 23 - 25, 2010, he organized the First Regional Conference on Church Social Ministry of the Russian Orthodox Church, held in St. Petersburg[24]. “Similar conferences with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill will be held in all federal districts of Russia and, possibly, in neighboring countries,” Bishop Panteleimon said at the opening of the conference[24].

On March 1, 2011, on the initiative of Bishop Panteleimon, the Synodal Department for Church Charity and Social Service began distance learning in social service[25]. Online seminars are divided into thematic courses: Social service of the Church 2013-2014, Teaching and raising children with multiple developmental disabilities, Exchange of experience in the field of organizing volunteer activities, etc.

On February 7, 2012, he opened[26] the first crisis center in Moscow for pregnant women who find themselves in difficult life situations, as well as young mothers with children - “House for Mom”.

On April 6, 2012, he signed an agreement with the Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights P. A. Astakhov on the interaction between the Department and the Commissioner in the field of protecting the rights and interests of minors[27].

Since July 7, 2012, he led the campaign to provide church assistance to flood victims in the Krasnodar Territory, which was carried out by the Department of Church Charity together with the Ekaterinodar Diocese. 51,153,112.18 rubles of donations were directed, first of all, to the repair and construction of houses, the purchase of housing and the provision of humanitarian assistance to the victims[28]. In particular, with funds received into the account of the Synodal Department for Charity, 6 apartments and 5 houses were purchased for flood victims, eight victims were provided with financial assistance in purchasing housing, and 49 victims were paid for the repair work of residential premises[28]. Also, during the entire period of operation of the Church Headquarters, about 1,000 tons of humanitarian supplies (food, drinking water, hygiene products, etc.) were distributed and more than 30 thousand residents of Krymsk and nearby villages were provided with hot meals[29].

During the devastating flood in the Far East, which lasted in the summer and autumn of 2013, he organized church assistance to raise funds for flood victims to provide them with humanitarian assistance. By September 18, the account of the Synodal Department for Charity and Social Service had received more than 72 million rubles, more than 1.8 thousand dollars and more than 2.1 thousand euros in donations. Also, with the assistance of the Orthodox Relief Service “Mercy,” whose confessor is the bishop, a batch of 135 heat guns with a total cost of more than 500 thousand rubles was sent to the Jewish Autonomous District[30].

On January 21, 2014, on the territory of the Synodal Department for Church Charity, he organized a warming point for the homeless, which has no analogues in Moscow. At the point, homeless people have the opportunity to spend the night, eat, undergo sanitary treatment, receive help from a social worker in restoring documents, finding relatives, and applying for admission to government medical or social institutions[31][32][33].

In March 2015, on the initiative of Bishop Panteleimon, the St. Sophia Orphanage for Boys accepted 21 disabled children with multiple developmental disabilities from state boarding school No. 15, thus becoming one of the first non-state orphanages in the country for children with multiple developmental disabilities. The new orphanage has a number of advantages that distinguish it from similar government institutions[34].

In December 2012, he criticized a bill discussed in the State Duma of the Russian Federation that would ban the adoption of Russian children by US citizens[35][36].

In March 2015, he spoke out against the refusal of state support for socially oriented NPOs[37].

The call of God sounds in every heart - to do good

Bishop Panteleimon of Orekhovo-Zuevsky determines and organizes almost all the work of the “Mercy” service. Fire victims from different regions of Russia felt the care and effective assistance from the Russian Orthodox Church in 2010. They received more than 100 million rubles for the purchase of housing. Hundreds of tons of food and other necessary assistance were also sent to the affected areas.

One of the main directions in the work of his department at the Synod is real necessary assistance to families and women in crisis situations: the organization of church shelters, centers for pregnant women, for mothers with children.

The charity department of the Russian Orthodox Church did not stand aside during the flood in the Krasnodar region; all donations, about 51 million rubles, were given to the victims.

Assistance to the Russian Orthodox Church was provided in the city of Krymsk. Bishop Panteleimon personally visited there and met with the leadership of the emergency headquarters.

For those affected by floods in the Far East, the Russian Orthodox Church collected and donated more than 100 million rubles.

Bishop Panteleimon organized church support for those who suffered from military operations in Ukraine: he coordinated the work of helping refugees and internally displaced persons, and created centers to help these people.

The activities of the largest Orthodox church service in the country, “Mercy,” are difficult to assess. She helps many categories of people in need: disabled people, children and adults, patients of various clinics, the homeless, lonely old people, needy large and low-income families.

social ecumenism

Participant in various social ecumenical events and projects. In 1998, he participated in the ecumenical procession and service on the occasion of the consecration of statues of 20th century martyrs in Westminster Abbey (London)[38].

He gave a presentation at the ecumenical conference “Orthodox diakonia: social witness and ministry of the Orthodox Churches” (New Valaam Monastery, April 30 - May 5, 2004)[39].

Organizer and participant of the ecumenical conference “The Church and the Poor” (Moscow, December 5, 2012)[40].

Participant of the II Moscow International Forum “Religion and Peace” (October 16, 2014)[41].

Collaborates with the community of St. Aegidia.

liturgical reform

In February 2011, he became the author of “Proposals for the organization of church life in the Trinity Deanery of Moscow.” Among the proposals: organizing a broadcast of the service on the street, in order to attract young people, “it is mandatory to print out and distribute to everyone who wants leaflets with the main stichera and troparions of the service, as well as the Gospel and Apostolic readings in Russian”[42].

On October 24, 2011, he made a trip to the Volyn diocese. During the trip, the first liturgy in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for the deaf, blind and wheelchair users was celebrated in the city of Lutsk. A choir of the blind and visually impaired sang during the service; the service was accompanied by sign language interpretation[43].

In 2021, he made a proposal to serve the Liturgy for the deaf with the Royal Doors open:

On behalf of the priests serving in the communities of the deaf and hard of hearing, the chairman of the Synodal Department for Charity, Bishop Panteleimon of Orekhovo-Zuevsky, turned to His Holiness Patriarch Kirill with a request to bless the celebration of the Divine Liturgy with the Royal Doors open for communities of deaf people. The Primate of the Church supported this proposal. The decree of His Holiness dated September 20 of this year blesses the celebration of the Divine Liturgy in sign language with the Royal Doors open according to “Our Father...” in churches where there are communities of deaf people[44].

Welcomed the adoption of the document “On the Participation of the Faithful in the Eucharist”:

The adoption of the document “On the Participation of the Faithful in the Eucharist” was a great joy. This is a very balanced document, very correct, taking into account different traditions, a document that gives freedom in the Church to people with different ideas about the frequency of communion, about the severity of preparation for communion, a document that does not infringe on anyone’s rights, and leaves an opportunity for every person resolve many issues together with the confessor[45].

On March 18, in an interview with the website Patriarchia.ru, speaking about the behavior of believers in the context of the spread of coronavirus infection, he said that

A priest can bless people who turn to him for Communion without Confession, if they have received communion recently and have no serious sins on their conscience. We know that this practice is completely acceptable. In this situation, if you have recently confessed and lived piously, you can ask for a blessing from the priest. You cannot receive communion without a blessing. The blessing can be taken both by telephone and via the Internet[46].

In connection with the quarantine due to the spread of coronavirus in March 2020, in his address to the parishioners of the Church of St. The faithful Tsarevich Dimitri at City Clinical Hospital No. 1 wrote literally the following:

You can keep your visit to the temple to a minimum. We broadcast services on the Internet. You can pray and listen to the all-night vigil at home. You can pray on the street, listening to the liturgy next to the church on your iPhone or tablet, and enter the church only for communion. After communion, you can immediately leave the church, listening to the rest of the liturgy on the balcony or on the street via the Internet. You don’t have to come to church for the all-night vigil... but rather pray at home in silence and without fuss, listening to the broadcast of the service on the Internet. You can venerate your homemade Crucifix or baptismal cross with no less reverence. For most of you, my dear brothers and sisters, confession is important as an opportunity to talk about your problems, ask a question, get advice, take a blessing for communion. All this can be done in absentia by e-mail[47].

Prayer and Humor Ease Anxiety

Of course, it is especially difficult when you are not sick yourself, but worry about your sick loved ones - child, husband, wife, mother, father. And you worry about them, but there is very little you can do. You pray to God, you ask Him to heal, you tremblingly ask the doctors to come, take a look, and prescribe expensive medicine.

Now many of my friends are in hospitals. Their wives call me asking me to pray for them.

The wives also call the doctors, and the doctors briefly answer: “So far, thank God, there are no negative dynamics, he’s breathing on his own.” Or: “We can’t leave without oxygen for now.”

An elderly priest called today. He was recently transferred from intensive care to a ward, he lies with an oxygen mask, but jokes and laughs. Humor helps a lot in the current situation, so we laughed, I told him about those “folk recipes” for treating coronavirus that are now circulating on the Internet; they are very funny.

But for those who believe in God, the basis is, of course, not humor or jokes (although the saints joked), but prayer and faith in God’s mercy. Praying for healing, hoping for recovery and not agreeing to death is natural for a person.

sect of priest Georgy Kochetkov

Ep. Panteleimon was one of the first to support the creation of the modernist sect of priest Georgy Kochetkov. According to Fr. Kochetkov:

At the end of the 70s, it became possible to conduct catechesis in large groups, and regular catechesis, when the groups followed one after another without any break. And this was connected with the name of someone who had just been ordained then, who had just come to the faith, almost a neophyte - an ardent, sincere man, whom we now know under the name of Archpriest Arkady Shatov, who was recently elected bishop in connection with his new position as head of the department for church charity... Fr. Arkady Shatov was then in a close circle of friends with Fr. Alexander Men, read a lot of books, incl. the so-called “tamizdat”: “Vestnik RHD” and other wonderful publications and books, whose authors were figures of the great Russian philosophical revival of the late 19th – first half of the 20th centuries. Then, really, Fr. Arkady had a big disagreement with Fr. Alexander, but this was already in the early 80s. We met him through the desert about. Tavrion (Batozsky); I and some people from my circle began to communicate closely with Father Arkady Shatov, then not yet a father, but simply a layman who had recently entered the church, and his large circle, which included his friend Fr. Arkady, Dmitry Smirnov is now a well-known archpriest, heading, like Fr. Arkady, one of the departments of the Moscow Patriarchate, is, however, not yet a bishop. And about. Arkady, as soon as he was ordained in 1979, began to refer everyone who wanted to be baptized to me and my friends in order to prepare them through catechesis. This catechesis took place constantly in the Moscow house of Fr. Arkady, although he served quite far away - in the Moscow region, in the village. Golochelovo, Stupino district... And during these meetings, I just developed that system of announcement, which I later managed to preserve and develop, adding the first and third stages to the second stage of the announcement in accordance with the logic of things and the patristic tradition. At the arrival of Fr. Arkady, of course, we conducted catechesis only at the level of the second stage: there were fourteen or sixteen topics, which I then quickly compiled and began to implement with the help of the parishioners of Fr. Arkady and Fr. Arcadia. He not only confessed and not only baptized, but sometimes participated in the teaching itself, although this was rather difficult for him, because then, as I have already said, he was, in fact, still a neophyte[48].

In 2015, he took part in a festive service at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the sect[49].

1. You need to have time to prepare for marriage

Nowadays, starting a family is a feat.

There is no need to imagine marriage as a safe haven where all your problems will end, and there will be an understanding, loving person nearby, on whom you can pour out all the love that has accumulated over the years of waiting. God alone understands us in everything, and the most ardent love does not always have the same temperature. And what is unspent that fills your heart may not turn out to be a willingness to sacrifice yourself, but a desire to arrange everything in life based on your desires. If you want to get married, you need to not just sigh, worry and cry about your loneliness, but prepare. Preparing for marriage means preparing to become a good wife and mother of many children, because in an Orthodox marriage you cannot shy away from this feat. Having many children in the modern world is a great work and feat. Our world is not adapted, not convenient for large families. But without fulfilling this will of God to have children, you will be unhappy in your marriage. I don’t think that the Lord, when we violate His commandments and rules, completely abandons us with His love, but still we are deprived of a lot.

2. Learn to live within your means

Unfortunately, large families in Russia are doomed to be among the poor. Therefore, now you can start training to live within your means. Try to be economical, learn not to spend money left and right. Make do with the laptop you have, don’t buy yourself a new phone every year, take care of your clothes - beautifully combine what you already have in your closet, and don’t buy new dresses on sales. It is unknown whether your husband will have a well-paid job. You will marry for love, and not for convenience. If he has a small salary or loses his job, he will have to live in poverty, so it is better to prepare for this in advance. It would be nice to learn not only to save, but also to donate money - share, help large families or single mothers. Learn not to be greedy, but compassionate and generous. The main thing that large families lack is spacious housing. And in a small apartment with children it is very difficult to maintain order. Therefore, it would be good to learn in advance how to get rid of unnecessary things, then cleaning the apartment and maintaining order will be much easier.

3. Family is like a submarine

In marriage, it will be difficult for you to find time for yourself: read a book, go to the theater, pray in temple. Because my husband and children will always be nearby. They will need you, waiting for your attention. There is no escape from the family, like from a submarine when it plunges into the water. In order to manage everything in your marriage, I would advise you to learn to get up early now. Read the Gospel more often, study the lives of the saints, memorize, while you have time, morning and evening prayers so that they can be read without turning on the light or while feeding the child. All this will be very useful to you when you become a wife and mother. Of course, it is very good to study children's literature in advance so that you know what to read to children. It would be good to get acquainted with the lives of the saints and learn how to retell them to the children of friends, godchildren or nephews. It is very important to learn how to cook. And not for yourself, but for others. It’s not difficult to cook for yourself - I made a sandwich and ate it, but for my husband to prepare, for example, a lean meal so that it is tasty and so that he is satisfied is a tricky business. To practice, go to a large family and help prepare holiday lunches or dinners. And you will learn to cook, and you will do a good deed. Maybe the Lord will send you a good groom for this! You may say: well, I prepared, prepared, learned everything, but no one proposes marriage. But if you learn to love and pray, this will help you live fully, even if you don’t find a husband.

4. Be active

You won’t want to approach a girl who is gloomy and dissatisfied with her loneliness. However, even a girl who is actively searching, prowling like a wolf with her eyes to the sides, scares away potential suitors. If you want to get married, you need not to lose heart and not look for candidates on the Internet and among passers-by on the street and in the subway, but to get active. And I don’t mean the appearance of activity when a girl paints herself, dresses up (or vice versa undresses!) and poses for photographs for social networks. I'm talking about truly living an active life. You can, having deep faith, shut yourself in a room and pray that God will send a groom. But if you don’t have such a strong faith, it’s better not to avoid communicating with young people. Sign up to volunteer. Go to the audition, maybe you will be accepted into the choir. Try working with your children in Sunday school. Help organize parish weddings or mission trips. Missionary trips help a lot. I organized my first missionary trip because I had four daughters who did not have grooms. They all got married and almost all the participants in this trip started families! An active girl is easier to notice, and most importantly, she is immediately visible in action.

5. A drinking groom is not an option

When choosing a husband, you need to pay attention to how he treats alcohol. If he overdoes it, if he has a habit of getting upset, drinking “out of grief” is scary. After all, before, for example, they didn’t drink wine at wakes; they drank wine at weddings out of joy. You can drink a little for joy. The Lord blessed wine at the wedding. But if a person drinks out of grief (a bitter drunkard), it is better to wait for another groom. Don’t be afraid to push the groom away with severity. Many men believe that first they need to live in the so-called. “civil marriage”, and then get married. True, things often don’t come to marriage.

6. Starting a relationship with carnal intimacy is wrong

There is a certain sequence in the development of relations between husband and wife: first - friendship, understanding, recognition of this person. Then, when you felt what kind of person he was, assessed how reliable he was, how interesting you were with him - you have the basis for the development of other relationships that begin in marriage. After all, you live with this person, talk, share impressions, look at the world together, raise children, help each other, experience sorrows, illnesses, difficulties - this is the most important thing and you need to prepare for this! You are not looking for a “partner”, but a life partner, the father of your children. Don’t be afraid to tell him completely clearly and definitely that a close relationship is impossible for you before marriage. This is a good test of how willing a person is to respect your opinion and meet you halfway. You need to choose a person who knows how to keep his nature in check, otherwise later this nature can get out of control and everything can end in tragedy.

7. People who obeyed and adhered to such strict rules thanked me later

If you start building relationships on carnal needs, this will inevitably distort the consciousness of your choice - your love, enthusiasm, passion, and dependence on the person you like will interfere. And you will not be able to evaluate it soberly. There should be as many children as God gives. You need to talk about this with your future husband before you start living together - before marriage. Because it happens, unfortunately, that a man is not ready to have children or only wants one child. You need to explain in advance to the person who wants to become your husband that you cannot shy away from having children. Strict confessors do not allow anyone to receive communion who, while maintaining a marital relationship, prevents the birth of children. It is a sin. Of course, marital relations are not carried out only for the sake of having children. Marital relations in marriage are an expression of love for each other, when spouses unite into one and become one body, one being. There is nothing sinful in this for spouses. And if the spouses are infertile, this relationship can continue, there is no need to abstain from it. But if there can be children, one cannot shy away from their birth. Therefore, even in the case of a disease, the treatment of which pregnancy is undesirable, you need to abstain from marital communication, and not find ways to avoid having a child.

8. Marital posts

As you know, there are fasts in Christianity - they also apply to marital relationships. There is a lot of talk on this topic now; some believe that marital relations do not need to be regulated. But confessors such as Archimandrite John (Krestyankin), Hieromonk Pavel (Troitsky), Archimandrite Tavrion (Batozsky) said that marriage is a school of chastity and fasting should be observed by spouses in close relationships. It is necessary that in your marriage you and your husband have unity on these issues. Marriage is a source of comfort and joy; some people even marry for it. But on the other hand, marital relationships can also be a source of sorrow. The Apostle Paul said that it is better to remain pure so that there is no sorrow in the flesh. Because spouses cannot always be together, they do not always have the same intentions and desires. You need to take this calmly, don’t worry, don’t get hung up, and don’t build your entire married life on this side of the marriage.

9. A good wife loves her husband more than her children

The husband is the most important in the family. If the husband is loved and everything is fine with him, everything will be fine with the children. No matter how much you love your children, you need to love your husband more. My late wife raised her children in such a way that they understood: the best and most delicious things go to dad. The youngest daughter sometimes said: “What about me? I want too". I handed her a sandwich, thickly spread with black caviar, which my wife had prepared for me, but the older girls made scary eyes, whispered something sternly in her ear, and she guiltily fell silent and never wanted to take even part of this sandwich. Of course, they also got sandwiches with caviar in those rare moments when they managed to get it, but on my father’s layer of caviar was thicker.

10. FOR CHILDREN, PARENTS' QUARTERS ARE WORSE THAN PUNISHMENTS

If children see the love and unity of their parents, they are peaceful and calm.

My eldest daughter recently recalled what a tragedy our argument with my wife was for her when she was very little. My daughter stood in a crib with railings, and her mother and I were arguing. I said that she should be forced to put away the toys, but my wife thought that it was already late, it was time to sleep and there was no need to take her out of the crib. The poor little girl felt like her world was collapsing.

Of course, I am very ashamed that I did not understand this then, but still my advice to expectant mothers: if a husband punishes a child, it is better not to contradict him.

It will be easier for a child to endure punishment than to see your argument and disagreement with each other. After some time, when the husband has calmed down, you can choose a convenient moment and try to talk to him in the absence of the children, how you can and cannot punish him and what to do if the situation repeats, but you cannot contradict your husband in front of the children.

You may think that you are protecting the child, but in fact you are inflicting a deep wound on his soul.

You may ask, what if the husband punishes too cruelly, often and unfairly? Of course, if there is a threat to the life and health of children, you should not argue and fight with your husband, but get a divorce. This is why you need to discuss with your fiancé before marriage how you will raise your children, what punishments are acceptable and what are not.

If your husband resorts to punishment because he is angry and irritable, you need to be able to calm him down when a thunderstorm begins.

One wonderful priest told me that his grandfather, when the children made noise at the table, hit the culprit on the forehead with a wooden spoon. Grandmother, who knew about this, always gave her husband a spoon with a very thin handle. The spoon broke, and this softened the blow. Of course, now such educational measures are not common, but a wife needs to be wise and inventive in order to soften her husband’s severity without entering into disputes.

11. WHAT EVEN BABA YAGA SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

The book “Household Economics,” published back in Soviet times, gives the following advice: “You must remember that you need to prepare for your husband’s return from service every day.

Prepare the children: wash them, comb their hair and dress them in clean, smart clothes. They should line up and greet their father when he comes to the door. For such an occasion, put on a clean apron yourself and try to decorate yourself - for example, tie a bow in your hair.

Do not enter into conversations with your husband, remember how tired he is, and that every day he has to go to work for your sake.

Feed him silently, and only after he reads the newspaper can you try to talk to him.”

This will probably seem like a joke to you, but many men tell me that when they come home tired, their wives do not allow them to rest - they pester them with various questions, with stories, and they suffer from this, poor things.

Even Baba Yaga in the Russian folk tale, before asking Ivanushka, who wandered into her hut on chicken legs, about something, first fed him; he even suggested to her: “First, feed me, give me something to drink, and then ask me questions!” And wives need to remember this. After all, a well-fed man is kinder.

When I gave advice from “House Economics” to one mother with many children, tired of life, she was very surprised and said that at home everything is the other way around: her husband comes home, she wants to quickly feed him and go to rest, and he starts pestering her with conversations, questions; not realizing how tired she gets during the day.

Well, well... It happens, and such a test falls to your lot. You have to sit and answer questions about the children, listen to stories about your husband’s boss or subordinates. In this case, before your husband comes home, you need to play some fairy tale for the children, and lie down for 15 minutes or read a canon to gain strength before meeting your husband.

You should be consoled by the fact that he loves you so much that it is difficult for him to end the day without talking to you.

12. HOW TO BE AT PEACE WITH YOUR HUSBAND’S RELATIVES AND FRIENDS

Be prepared to perceive your husband not as an individual person, but together with his relatives: with his mother - your mother-in-law, his father - your father-in-law, with your husband's sisters - with your daughters-in-law. And if you don’t like someone, you need to be prepared to be patient. This is how respect is shown for the husband’s loved ones and for himself, because his relatives are part of his life.

Love must be sacrificial. How to overcome hostility if it arises? There is such a way - prayer for these people. If you pray, your heart will become softer, and your relationships will become smoother and calmer.

The husband has not only relatives, but also friends. At first, of course, he will forget about everyone, spend time only with you, text you every five seconds. But then the friends will return. Therefore, it is better to get to know them in advance.

For a man, friends, it seems to me, are more important than friends for a woman. He cannot be deprived of the opportunity to communicate with them.

There is no need to think that if your husband married you, then now he is entirely yours. After the wedding, he will have and continue relationships with both friends and parents. Moreover, if he is one child in the family, especially loved by his mother. It'll be hard.

The mother-in-law may involuntarily be jealous, demand additional attention to herself, and do this indirectly, but in a roundabout way, because female nature is, I won’t say “cunning,” but very flexible.

To overcome all this, you need to be prepared for it and try to be patient, helping yourself with prayer.

Over time, as the experience of many shows, if you make an effort and force yourself to be kind, the relationship between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law will level out, even if it was difficult.

13. AVOID THE ROLE OF A SAW - A BORE

A wife's duty is to be wise. Not cunning, but wise.

We must ask God for wisdom. All Christians are commanded to be wise as serpents, although simple as doves.

Directly, by force, by pressure, it will not be possible to achieve anything from your husband: to accustom him to cleanliness, for example, if he is sloppy; ask for time with you; get a job and stop playing tanks on the computer.

You can nag him every day, put pressure on him, persuade him, but men don’t give in to that. And relationships can deteriorate irrevocably.

Many girls, while not married themselves, agree with this, understand the failure of this method of influence, but, having become a wife, still do not avoid the role of a boring saw. And they don't even notice it!

What is the right way, you ask. A woman’s strength is in her weakness, and men are more likely to bow to a quiet, gentle, meek request.

You need to be feminine, you need to be able to maintain femininity in everything - in relation to your husband, to children, to life - you need to be different from a man. This is why men love women.

What if this doesn't help? I endure, I endure, I endure - but he only gets worse. We must not forget about God, who can do everything. If you pray earnestly for your husband, the situation will definitely change: either your husband will become more careful, or his carelessness will no longer irritate you.

14. IF YOU HAVE A FIGHT

You and your husband need to be the first to make peace, no matter what happens. Anything can happen, but you can’t go to bed without making peace. There is no need to postpone the showdown until the next day.

If your husband is irritated, you cannot be irritated too. If you are unable to do this, it is better to avoid the conversation under a plausible pretext.

If you want to talk about something important but controversial, it is better to do it in the morning, so that before the evening you both have time to think it over, calm down and reconcile.

For serious conversations, you need to choose a time when your husband is in a good mood. When he ate, for example. Or his favorite team won.

15. MEET YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND'S CONFEROR

If your future husband does not have a confessor, you need to help find one. Because then you will have no one to ask for advice or help. Who will you go to if your husband doesn’t listen to anyone? A person must have an authority whom he trusts and consults with.

If the groom has a confessor, get to know him, ask about this priest, find out what his views are, how close these views are to you. Is there not a big difference between the views of your confessor and your husband’s confessor?

The husband and wife may have different confessors, but in this case it is better to agree before marriage - which church to go to, how to pray (together or separately), so that there are no disputes later.

The husband needs to be warned that in all matters you will obey him, but in spiritual matters (how often should you receive communion, how to fast, etc.) - your confessor.

There is no need to pit your husband and confessor against each other, so that your husband does not develop tension or jealousy towards your confessor.

16. BE CAREFUL AND SEEN.

In a dispute with your husband, you should not cite the opinion of your confessor as an argument if your husband does not have confidence in him. Even if he treats your confessor with respect, it is better to say: “I think this is better,” “it seems to me that it is right to do this,” and not “this is what my confessor advised me to do.” After all, you freely choose to obey your confessor in this or that matter and you yourself are responsible for this or that decision.

17. CHOOSE A PERSON YOU'RE INTERESTED WITH.

It is better when husband and wife have a common cultural level. Emotionally and temperamentally, spouses can be very different, but their social circle and interests must coincide.

If the cultural level differs, and your husband, for example, does not understand serious music at all, and you are used to going to the conservatory every week and Haydn quartets are playing at home all the time; If you don’t fall asleep yet, be sure to re-read Gogol or Pushkin, and he loves low-grade detective stories, there may be difficulties in family life.

18. A YEAR MUST PASS BEFORE THE WEDDING

My main advice is don't rush. Take a closer look at the person throughout the year. Not only crazy people have exacerbations in spring and autumn. Every person feels differently at different times of the year. Therefore, in a year you have the opportunity to get to know a person more fully, from different sides, in good and bad, difficult periods.

It is very important to find out before marriage not only the good, but also the bad sides of the future husband. Try to see him with a sober look. Pray that the Lord will show him to you as he is.

Before making a decision about marriage, it is imperative that the candidate meet his confessor and parents. They should also participate in choosing a husband, because if a person is besotted with love, it is difficult for him to think soberly.

True, we had a case when one couple got married secretly - my mother was categorically against it. But then the blessing of Patriarch Alexy II was received for the wedding. I reconciled with my mother and everything is fine. But this is an exceptional case.

As a rule, it is worth listening to the opinions of parents. As for girlfriends, I don’t know. If you have some wise friend, you can introduce her to the groom and then ask her opinion. Although, of course, it should not be decisive.

19. THE MAIN CAUSE OF DIVORCE

Probably the main reason that people get divorced so often in our country is that their acquaintance was short-lived, and the decision to get married was ill-considered and not very responsible.

There was such a case with the elder, Father Pavel Troitsky. One girl fell in love with a young man, asked permission to go on a date with him, and Father Pavel, since he was a perspicacious man, knew that this man was not suitable for her husband. But he allowed me to go on a date and said: “I will pray that you see him as he is.” And when the girl came on this date, she suddenly saw the young man completely different, not the way he had imagined.

Therefore, before marriage, you need to be very critical of your future husband: doubt, not trust your feelings, not trust your mind. Be very careful. So that it doesn’t turn out that you marry a prince, and your husband turns out to be Ivanushka the Fool.

20. THE ENCHANTED PRINCE

But when you get married and have been crowned, everything changes here. Here you can recall a fairy tale about how one young man was taught to behave well and treat people correctly. And one teacher told him: “You must see a prince in everyone, and serve him like a prince - like an enchanted prince, although he may not even look like a prince.”

Likewise, a wife, if she chose a husband for herself, got married, got married, and he suddenly turned out to be bad, she should treat him like an enchanted prince. After all, you and I are Christians, we know that human nature has amazing capabilities, and

You and I are Christians, we know that human nature has amazing capabilities, and a person can change. And you can become better, and your husband can become better - thanks to mutual patience, respect, selfless love and God's help. This is what you need to believe in.

Prayer for those who work with the sick

Of course, if you pray next to a sick person whom you are caring for, your prayer will not be as attentive and focused as if you were praying in solitude in nature or in a remote monastery. But then your very service to your neighbor will be accepted as prayer.

Do what you have to do, but at the same time imagine yourself walking in the sight of God, be meek and humble.

You should also try to find time during the day for attentive prayer. When you are caring for a patient, you may not have time to read the entire rule. You can shorten the rule, but at least spend a short time praying earnestly, from your heart.
