We are all priests and kings

Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh, who not only knew many languages, but performed services in English, French, German, and Italian, also believed that the word “have mercy” does not just mean “forgive.” Its meaning is deeper and richer than what we put in when we think about the word “have mercy” in the sense of “have pity”, “treat me without anger.” However, Vladyka Anthony’s interpretation is broader.
He suggests thinking about the olive tree, the “olive tree,” and olive oil in the Old and New Testaments. The olive branch is first mentioned at the end of the Flood, when a dove brings it to Noah. It meant that God’s wrath had been exhausted, that forgiveness was given as a gift, that a new time and a new path lay before us. Everyone who is in the ark can settle on solid ground again and try to live in a new way.
However, we cannot always follow this path. It is not enough to simply have time and new opportunities; if we are sick in soul, if our will is broken, or if we are unable, either mentally or physically, to discern the paths or follow them, we need healing. Therefore, let us remember how the merciful Samaritan poured healing oil on a wounded man who had become a victim of robbers. We too need to be healed in soul and body in order to take advantage of what God offers us.
And one last thing. There is an image in the Old Testament - the anointing of kings and priests. Why is anointing necessary? Because both the high priest and the king stand on the line between the shrine of God and human sin, between the unified and harmonious will of God and the contradictory wills of people. And in order to stand on this threshold, a person needs more than human abilities; he needs giftedness from God. As a sign of this, anointing was performed on priests and kings.
What does this have to do with us? Similar. In the New Testament we are all priests and kings, and our calling, human and Christian, exceeds what man can achieve. We are called to become and be living members of the Body of Christ, temples on earth, pure and worthy of the Holy Spirit, partakers of the Divine nature. But at the same time we must also be human in the full sense, in the deepest sense in which a Christian understands humanity in the image of the incarnate Son of God. This requires the grace and help of God, and all this is indicated by the same image of anointing. We need the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the gift of the Spirit, the anointing of the Spirit—just to fulfill our human calling.
“This is what is contained in the words “Kyrie eleison”, “Lord, have mercy,” says Vladyka Anthony, “and this is why the Orthodox Church responds to all occasions in worship with these words: what else is needed? It begins at the very depths of sin: Lord, let Your wrath cease! Lord, give me - undeservedly, freely, in spite of everything - Your forgiveness! forward: with soul, body, with all my being I am relaxed - heal me, renew me, give me life!.. Lord, it turns out that this path is not earthly, it is the path from earth to heaven; how to implement it? How is this possible?.. Pour on me that grace that will make me a God-man, in the image of Him Who, being God, became man...”
The words “mercy” and “mercy” in Slavic have the same root as words expressing tenderness and tenderness; and when we say these words - “eleison”, “have mercy on us”, “have mercy”, we ask God not only to deliver us from His wrath - we ask for love.

What is a pardon?
According to Art. 85 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, pardon is an act of the President, according to which a specific person who has committed a crime can be released from the sentence imposed on him.
This procedure allows a citizen to be released from prison before the end of his sentence, the term of imprisonment to be reduced, or the punishment to be replaced with a more lenient one. If the pardon concerns those who have been released from prison, they can count on early expungement of their criminal record.
It is necessary to be aware of the differences between pardon and amnesty, since the second concept includes release in relation to an unlimited number of persons who have been convicted of certain offenses. Pardon is always individual and aimed at an individual specific person. Only the President has the right to sign an act of pardon, therefore the act has a law enforcement nature and not a normative one.
An important point: a pardon does not eliminate the fact that a crime has been proven by a specific person and does not in any way affect the court verdict. This act does not mean rehabilitation. Pardon is applied to a sentenced citizen and is a specific method of release from criminal liability imposed by the court.
People who have never committed any wrongdoing may naturally doubt whether the criminal deserves mercy and pardon? The answer is simple: at the moment, not only young “thugs” are in prison, but also pregnant women, mothers of many children, disabled people, citizens of retirement age, as well as people with serious illnesses, including fatal ones, who need relief from their fate . This is humane and consistent with constitutional human rights priorities.

Conditions for pardon
To make a positive decision on the petition of a convicted person, a number of factual and legal conditions must be met. The material conditions for release are not affected by what crime the person committed.
Pardon can be applied even to those who have committed a particularly serious crime. According to Part 3 of Art. 59 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, even persons sentenced to death can count on life imprisonment or imprisonment for 25 years.
The Pardon Commission examines the petitions of convicted persons, taking into account the following factors.
- How the prisoner behaved while serving his sentences in the MLS.
- What is the length of the sentence served?
- What degree of danger does a prisoner pose to society upon release, based on the crime for which he is imprisoned?
- Is it possible to compensate for damages to those who suffered due to the crime of the petitioner?
In the process of studying an application for clemency, authorized members of the commission must take into account whether the citizen committed crimes during the probationary period (with a suspended sentence). The person’s health status, marital status and age are also taken into account. The total number of convictions is also important.
Conditions for pardon
Pray carefully
But both monks and priests warn self-confident neophytes against constantly performing Jesus’ prayer, since spiritually inexperienced people face many temptations that can lead them to even greater sins than those they have already committed. The most harmless thing can be a serious illness, which will turn the neophyte away from his exploits for a long time.
You can begin the Jesus Prayer only with the permission of your spiritual fathers. For the neophyte, the main thing is to read the morning and evening rules, where the Jesus Prayer occurs more than once, attend church on Sundays, regularly confess, take communion and remember that the short prayer “Lord, have mercy” sometimes contains the whole world.
In the collection “Unthought-out Stories about the Miraculous Help of God,” there is a story by one hieromonk about a miracle that happened to him in the army. He served as a paratrooper and jumped with a parachute, but his parachute did not open; didn't open up.
The soldier’s mother was a believer, and before leaving for the army, he received a prayer from her: the 90th Psalm “Alive in the help of the Above...” written on a piece of paper, which he sewed under the lining. But when the parachute lines got tangled, and the ground was getting closer every second, there was no time to climb for the piece of paper. The paratrooper shouted in fear: “Lord, have mercy!” - and God heard him: at that very moment the lines tightened and the reserve parachute opened its canopy.
Gifts from God
The same Barsanuphius said that the first gift is attention, when the mind already holds on to prayer and is not distracted by vanity, the second gift is prayer within, when all feelings and thoughts are in balance, passions recede, and everything rushes to God. But you need to be careful, because human passions are like dead men in coffins - if you are distracted, they come to life.
Another gift of God is spiritual prayer, when there is no earthly thing left in a person - he is all directed towards heaven. Those who have achieved such prayer are endowed with insight and can see the hearts of people and their souls.
