The teaching of St. Theophan the Recluse on the fight against passions and basic virtues Mikhail Dutka, student, Saratov Orthodox Theological Seminary Abstract : This article is devoted to the analysis of the teachings of St. Theophan the Recluse in the context of the general Orthodox ascetic teaching. The text sets out the classic for most Orthodox authors doctrine of the eight basic passions. Considerable attention is paid to the position of Archimandrite Cleopas (Ilie) about temptations coming from eight directions. The main part of the study is occupied by the consistent disclosure of the stages of development of sin – from adjudication to sinful deeds, according to the teaching on the passions of St. Theophan the Recluse. For comparison, throughout the work, elements of the ascetic teachings of other authors are given – St. Gregory the Theologian, St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Tikhon of Zadonsk, etc. Along with the teachings of St. Theophan about passions, his teaching about virtues is also analyzed. At the end of the article, a conclusion is made about the organic connection of the teachings of St. Theophan with the ascetic patristic teaching. Keywords : asceticism, passions, thoughts, virtues, Saint Theophan the Recluse. References 1 . Basil the Great. (2009) «Tvoreniya» [Creations]. In 2 volumes. Volume 2. Moscow, (in Russian). 2 .

On June 24, 1737 Hieromonk Joasaph was appointed head of the Holy Transfiguration Mgarsk monastery, and elevated to the rank of igumen. Here he worked with all his strength to put the monastery in good order, for it was an old bastion of Orthodoxy in the struggle with the Unia. In this monastery were relics of Saint Athanasius, Patriarch of Constantinople and Wonderworker of Lubny (May 2). Several times Saint Athanasius appeared to Igumen Joasaph, as a sign of his patronal protection. In 1744 Metropolitan Raphael elevated Igumen Joasaph to the dignity of archimandrite. Towards the end of that same year he was called to Moscow and soon, at the direction of the Most Holy Synod, he was appointed vicar of the Holy Trinity Sergiev Lavra monastery. At this monastery of Saint Sergius he also unstintingly fulfilled obedience to the Church (this year required much exertion for the rebuilding of the monastery after a fire). On June 2, 1748 at the Peter and Paul cathedral in Peterburg, Archimandrite Joasaph was ordained Bishop of Belgorod. Ascending the archbishop’s throne, Saint Joasaph strictly concerned himself with piety and the condition of the churches, with the proper celebration of divine services, and especially with the moral condition of his flock. The saint devoted great attention to the education of the clergy, and the correct observance of churchly norms and traditions. Just as before, the saint worked with all his strength in his archpastoral service, without regard for his health. On the eve of his repose, the saint forbade his cell attendant Stephen to aspire to the priesthood, and he predicted that if he did not obey him, he would meet with an untimely end. To another cell attendant Basil, the saint indicated that he would be a deacon, but would never become a priest. Later, this prediction was fulfilled. Saint Joasaph died on December 10, 1754, and was glorified on September 4, 1911. The Orthodox Church in America 13 декабря 2016 г. Подпишитесь на рассылку Православие.Ru

John Anthony McGuckin Orthros (Matins) JEFFREY B. PETTIS The Greek word orthros translates as “dawn” or “early morning.” In early Christian usage it referred to early morning prayer, or (as in monastic usage) dawn prayers after the night vigil (see Basil of Caesarea, regulae fusius tractatae 37.3, 5 [PG.31.1013A,1016B]). After the 4th century the word came to designate the early morning service of psalms and canticles (a parallel to the western monastic services of Matins and Lauds) as one of the regular hours of Byzantine monastic prayer, in the sequence of Vespers, Compline, Midnight Office, Orthros, First, Third, Sixth, and Ninth Hours. In Greek practice Orthros is conducted by itself, or as the immediate prelude to the divine liturgy. In parishes it occurs chiefly on Sundays before the liturgy. In Russian practice it is often combined with preceding Sunday Vespers (on Saturday evening) as the Vigil Service. Orthros begins with the Trisagion prayers and the reading of the Six Psalms (Hexapsalmoi), and includes litanies alternating with hymns (especially in the form of canons) and recitations of appointed sections (kathismata) of the Psal­ter. In parish practice the psalm readings are much abbreviated. The service culminates with the reading of a resurrection gospel. If not followed by the liturgy, Orthros ends with the small doxology; if the liturgy follows the great doxology is used.

Michael Prokurat, Alexander Golitzin, Michael D. Peterson Скачать epub pdf GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS, “The Theologian,” monk, bishop, St. (329–389). One of the Cappadocian Fathers (q.v.), Gregory was the son of the bishop of Nazianzus and a lifelong friend of Basil the Great (q.v.), both of whom studied in Athens. Their friendship was severely strained by Basil’s use of his friends in his campaigns against the “Neo-Arians.” His tactics included filling up vacant episcopal sees with trusted acquaintances, and Gregory fell a reluctant and unhappy victim when snatched from his monastic refuge. Theologically, however, his loyalty to Basil was complete. His appointment in 379 as Bishop of Constantinople for the small party in the imperial city loyal to the Creed of Nicaea (qq.v.) provided the setting for a series of brilliant sermons, including the justly famed five Theological Orations on the Trinity (q.v.), which served to win the day for Trinitarian Orthodoxy at Constantinople and to win for Gregory himself the epithet, “the Theologian,” by which he continues to be venerated. After being appointed Bishop of Constantinople and helping to convene the Second Ecumenical Council (q.v.), he was forced to resign by an episcopal cabal led by the Patriarch of Alexandria. Gregory retired first to Nazianzus and then to his country estate in Cappadocia where he devoted his remaining years to asceticism (q.v.), correspondence, and the writing of theological poetry. While the last forms a considerable part of his remaining works, it is not usually as highly valued as his extraordinary sermons, which with his letters continue to be studied and greatly esteemed. His “Letters to Cledonius” on the Apollinarian controversy, in particular the phrase “what is not assumed is not saved,” provided an important standard for the pronouncements of later Ecumenical Councils on Christology (q.v.).

Although steeped in a classical Greek mindset which espoused a broadly cyclic understanding of time and destiny, he is here speaking of a restoration – through subjection to Christ in the Holy Spirit – to a single end which is like the single beginning. In so doing he articulates a consistent trajectory of thought in the Greek fathers. This is not properly understood as a return to a place or state that was ever historically realized, but rather as the realization of the divine will, the fulfillment of the original (or bet­ter, eternal) divine intention and principle (logos) for humanity, unrealized by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Frequently, then, the effective identity of end and begin­ning is expressed through this common topos of Paradise. On this score, while the primeval Paradise was seen as an ideal place and condition, its human denizens (the biblical Adam and Eve) are not generally portrayed as icons of a fully realized state of human personhood. Maximus the Confessor asserts that humans fell “together with their coming into being” (To Thalassius 61). Irenaeus, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Ephrem the Syrian understood Adam and Eve to be “works in progress,” innocent like children and, if anything, terribly weak. They partook of a fruit that was always intended for human consumption, but not for persons in their yet-underdeveloped state. The Eucharistic Anaphora of Basil the Great says that the human creature was placed in Paradise with “the promise of immortality.” Adam and Eve represent an unrealized potential, while the icon of perfected, immortal humanity is the New Adam, Jesus Christ, through whom humans may now attain to the Paradise always intended for them, as a life in free and full communion with God – a place of ineffable, inexhaustible, and ever-surprising sweetness, beauty, and joy.

Беседы О том, что Бог не виновник зла (Беседа 9) Много видов учения, которые через священного псалмопевца Давида показал нам действовавший в нем Дух. Иногда Пророк, описывая собственные свои страдания и мужество, с каким переносил он встречавшееся с ним в жизни, в примере своем оставляет нам ясное учение о терпении. Например, когда говорит: Господи, что ся умножиша стужающии ми ( Пс.3:2 )? A иногда изображает он Божию благость и скорость помощи, какую подает Бог истинно взыскавшим Его; и тогда говорит: Внегда призвати ми, услыша мя Бог правды моея ( Пс.4:2 ), выражаясь равносильно с Пророком, который сказал: Еще глаголющу ти, речет: ce приидох ( Ис.58:9 ), то есть не успел я призвать, как слух Божий услышал уже конец призывания. Еще, принося молитвы и моления к Богу, научает нас, каким образом живущие во грехах должны умилостивлять Бога. Господи, да не яростью Твоею обличиши мене; ниже гневом Твоим накажеши мене ( Пс.6:2 ). A в двенадцатом псалме показывает какую-то продолжительность искушения словами: Доколе, Господи, забудеши мя до конца ( Пс.12:2 )? И во всем псалме учит нас не терять бодрости в скорбях, но ожидать Божией благости и знать, что Бог по особенному домостроительству предает нас скорбям, по мере веры посылая и меру испытаний.

In his work Veselovsky also gives in parallel columns the texts of Pseudo-Gregory’s commentary (after Krasnosel’tsev’s edition), and of another apocryph, the King Amphilog’s vision of the Divine Liturgy (ibid., 140–141). 13  Lazar’ Mirkovich, «Angels and Demons on the Capitals of the Church of St. Demetrios of the Markov Monastery near Skopje» [original title in Serbian: Миркови Л., и демони на капителима у цркви св.

Seventy years later, Klimentina Ivanova published another redaction of the same commentary, after a Bulgarian codex dated A.D. 1552 (Klimentina Ivanova, «The Sermon of St. Basil the Great and of Father Ephraim on the Holy Liturgy, That It Is Fitting to Stand in the Church with Fear and Trepidation» [original title in Bulgarian: Иванова К., «Слово на св.
