His father would cross his legs, and the boy would cross his legs. His father would turn the page of his newspaper; and his son would turn the page of his book. As time went on his father got so busy with his work that he left before the kids got up in the morning, got home after they went to bed, and the boy rarely saw him. His son also imitated that. After he grew up he moved far away, and after that his father rarely saw him.

The Lord wants, above all, the salvation of our soul. Prayer saves our soul and always helps us in everything in our life. Schema-Archimandrite Eli (Nozdrin) 01 December 2014 Advice on Prayer Some Thoughts on Prayer Prayer Primer Brain on Power What Should One Do to Bring the Prayer Back? The topic for today’s conversation is prayer. What does prayer mean for man?   To speak briefly about prayer, it is man’s conversation with God. It is the offering of the mind and heart to God; it is food for our souls. We all support our lives physically (our body, our earthly existence, the continuation of our lives) by bread and the like, but prayer supports the life of the soul. The Apostles asked the Lord to teach them to pray, and the Lord gave us a very simple but very substantive and short prayer: the “Our Father.” Here are the main points of our relationship to God; here are doxology, thanksgiving, and petition.

But the Lord did not leave his spiritual children orphaned. Many had already discovered in his son, the still young Priest Sergius, a worthy and equally gifted successor. The Saint Nicholas parish on Maroseyka, where his father served, was still small when the future priest and new martyr, Sergius, was born on 17 September 1892. 05 March 2007 Father Alexey Mechev Fr. Alexey was born in 1860, the son of a choir director in the service of the great Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow (†1867). The family lived in modest circumstances. “I never had a room of my own,” Fr. Alexey recalled. “All my life I’ve lived with people around!” Judging from the only extant letter to his wife Anna, he was happily married; they had several children before her tragically premature death. None of the children appear to have remained close to their father with the exception of a son Sergius who succeeded Fr. Alexey as priest at St. Nicholas’ church on Maroseyka street, before joining the ranks of Russia’s New Martyrs in 1941.

It begins with the words: “Our Father, Who art in the heavens.” This prayer is comprehensive in character: in it is concentrated, as it were, everything that man needs both for earthly life and for the salvation of his soul. The Lord gave it to us so that we would know what we should pray for and what to ask of God. Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) 04 July 2014 We continue a series on prayer, transcribed from television episodes presented on Russian television in the spring of 1999 by Fr.

This is reminiscent of the words of the prayer of St. Ioannicius: “My hope is the Father, my refuge is the Son, my protection is the Holy Spirit,” which the saint spoke from the abundance of his heart among the verses of the Psalter, which he read unceasingly. It is no accident that here, too, every ode concludes with an appeal to the Most Holy Trinity. We dare make this cry in a simple and all-embracing manner, as with the Our Father.

Before the age of 18, year after year I celebrated my birthday with my parents. But that year something snapped in me, and I told my mom and dad: “Dear parents, because I am growing up I want to celebrate this day with friends, and I ask you…” – here I hesitated. But my parents were smart and kind people. They instantly assured me that everything was fine, celebrating with friends was great, and that they would easily find someplace to go and something to do that evening.
