Everything offered here is my church sermons , speeches on the occasion of various solemn gatherings, and articles written between 1951, the year I arrived in the United States and began my ministry to the Russian Church Abroad at the Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville in the rank of Archimandrite, and then - in the rank of Bishop (since 1953) and Archbishop (since 1961).Our task is now more modest. In connection with the upcoming Great Lent, we want to help those people who have not yet completely broken with the true Church, for whom Her authority is still of some value, who have not ceased to consider it their Christian duty to confess and partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ, although once a year. We mean those who come to confession and do not know what to repent of.

More than forty years ago, our fatherland Russia suffered a terrible disaster, and it was enslaved to the godless communist government, which aims to destroy faith in God, and is fighting the Holy Church of Christ and cruelly persecutes believers. Now exactly the same mournful fate befell your country - Bulgaria. Freedom is the most precious gift of God, and especially the spiritual freedom that Christ has given us. "Stand in the freedom that Christ has given us," the Word of God teaches: "and do not be subjected to the yoke of slavery ... you are bought at a high price ... Do not become slaves of men ..."
The Apocalypse in the Teachings of Ancient Christianity is the first complete Orthodox commentary on the book of Revelation in the English language. As the only prophetic book of the New Testament, the Revelation of St. John the Theologian is a book of deep mysteries concerning the beginning and end of all things and the ultimate purpose of the world and man. The Apocalypse examines these writings verse by verse and helps the reader interpret and understand the difficult imagery and symbolism.

Here as if a parallel is drawn, for comparison, b...

Everything offered here is my church sermons, speeches on the occasion of various solemn gatherings, and articles written between 1951, the year I arrived in the United States and began my ministry to the Russian Church Abroad at the Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville in the rank of Archimandrite, and then - in the rank of Bishop (since 1953) and Archbishop (since 1961).Russian people wholeheartedly accepted the main commandment of the Law of God on love for God and their neighbors, and especially deeply assimilated the spirit of true Christian humility and mercy to all those suffering and suffering. Humility and mercy became, as it were, the national character traits of the Russian man, and this continued almost until the very last time, despite the frenzied propaganda of godlessness and immorality that came to us from the wicked West, who had long laughed at these Christian virtues as signs of "backwardness", "Lack of culture."
This reader, compiled by renowned Solzhenitsyn scholars Edward E. Ericson, Jr., and Daniel J. Mahoney in collaboration with the Solzhenitsyn family, provides in one volume a rich and representative selection of Solzhenitsyn's voluminous works. Reproduced in their entirety are early poems, early and late short stories, early and late "miniatures" (or prose poems), and many of Solzhenitsyn's famous—and not-so-famous—essays and speeches. The volume also includes excerpts from Solzhenitsyn's great novels, memoirs, books of political analysis and historical scholarship, and the literary and historical masterpieces The Gulag Archipelago and The Red Wheel. More than one-quarter of the material has never before appeared in English (the author's sons prepared many of the new translations themselves). The Solzhenitsyn Reader reveals a writer of genius, an intransigent opponent of ideological tyranny and moral relativism, and a thinker and moral witness who is acutely sensitive to the great drama of good and evil that takes place within every human soul. It will be for many years the definitive Solzhenitsyn collection.
3. The spirit of the world is the spirit of comprehensive lusting... "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life" (1 John. 2:16), says the Apostle. And here in all places we have open promenades, spectacles, theaters, musical evenings, home presentation, tableaux, concerts, balls, fireworks, entertainment gardens, which all are invited without distinction as to sex and age, without distinction of Sundays, feasts and fasts. Hundreds of hands get busy in describing and depicting all this [FB!] in hundreds of sheets, in newspapers and magazines, where they try incessantly to present it all in the most attractive and seductive shades. All this - in front of our own eyes. Do you see, how the spirit of the world overpowers us, and - having stripped from us chaste clothing of Christian living - vests us in the shameless rags of lusty affairs and customs...
"If a martian landed in America and set out to determine the nation's official state religion, he would have to conclude it is liberalism, while Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by law. Many Americans are outraged by liberal hostility to traditional religion. But as Ann Coulter reveals in this, her most explosive book yet, to focus solely on the Left's attacks on our Judeo-Christian tradition is to miss a larger point: liberalism is a religion—a godless one. And it is now entrenched as the state religion of this county. Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion. In Godless, Coulter throws open the doors of the Ch...
