Book: Christ is in our midst
The Lord therefore came to us on the ground to say: "There is another life. That's why I'm here. Eat and drink with you, lest you say that God is some kind of sociopath. Going to a wedding in Cana of Galilee, lest you say that God only separates people and shuns earthly joys, feelings, love. I go to the Temple and in synagogues, and in the workshop of Joseph, and on the shore of Galilee lake where you are fishing and the mountains. Everything that is allowed by God and by law, I do the same as you, to make it clear: you don't have to stop to do their business. The main thing - that some of the cases you won't forget about Me, the Beginning and the End of it all. I gave you life, gave a reason and you're about to lose him from many vain, useless and heavy thoughts. But the mind was given to you not to go crazy with thoughts, but in order to be able to think about Me, God. Instead, you start thinking silly things and bring yourself to the disease. Who is to blame? Am I? I blame the fact that you forgot about Me, by placing Me in the backyard of my life, and now suffer from depression? But how can we rejoice then?

I do not mean that you have to go to mount Athos and become a monk. However, if God calls you, it will be great. But this is not important. No need to go to monks because you're lonely and it's depressing.
We are all in this world alone - and married and unmarried. In any case, each of us lives alone with his "I". You and your soul - you're all alone. But when we truly witness to Christ, we realize that everything is this life, really stupid nonsense and the Only thing That accompanies us in life eternal is the Lord.

Thanks God, you thereby give the grumbling and illness to approach you. Gratitude is a shield against suffering.

It is not only important to recover. It is important to begin to look at life with different eyes. After all, many of us healthy, but ungrateful. We do not rejoice in his life, thank God. When you're sick, start complaining, and being in full order, don't say "thank God!". Therefore the main miracle that can happen to us during the illness - not only recovery, but also a new Outlook on life, with gratitude for what you have, without envy for what you don't. The miracle is, to say, "Thank you, Lord, for what I breathe, live, because I healthy!"

Thousands of sufferers kneeling before the miraculous icons, before which we all pray with reverence and love - but how much is healed? Two, three... And the rest get from these icons of strength to fight against disease, in order to begin to look at their illness through the eyes of others. This is the miracle - working icons. Someone completely healed bodily, and others healed and stronger soul. And it's wonderful when we begin to think differently about the situation.

Be very careful with your thoughts - that's where all the problems from our thoughts. They have so tortured, what do the sick before the arrival of the disease. In our imagination we suffer much more than it actually is.

Do not be offended if the person in grief will tell you something unpleasant. Just be there, support, love him, and at some point he has to share with you my feelings.

Pain and pleasure always go hand in hand. In life can not be without pain. And the only way to "make friends", to live with her, "swallow" something is not correct. To understand what lies ahead - the path of your father, grandfather, mother, grandmother, of all mankind, the path of millions. Everyone suffered, and I suffer and will suffer. It is only important, with what result, what comes out of our suffering. It is important that the suffering was not in vain, and good for the soul. And just cry from the pain - it's a dead end. Suffering must lead to something beautiful, to love and closeness with others.

Don't know did you understand this or not, but suffering is an integral part of our lives. And if a person thinks to put your whole life without pain, is self-deception. In this life, constantly alternating joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure, laughter and crying, happiness and sadness. There is no other way. Even nature lives, constantly grieving and suffering. Before the flower to bloom and wilt, blossom and trees should Bud, and it always hurts. The woman before her baby is screaming in pain.

When in a moment someone else's suffering, we begin preaching, we are waiting for absolute failure. A suffering person does not need preaching, does not need lots of advice and consolation - so you can only aggravate the situation. In a moment of suffering, I want only one thing: that someone sat down and wept together.

Let us pray to the Lord to alienate from us the hour of death, to live still many years, but let us pray that the years were not wasted - including today. Will try to use the circumstances and events that God sends us to strengthen and grow. Otherwise, we won't see the sense in what is happening in our lives in the morning. The Lord sends us lessons, the purpose of which is to make our soul stronger. The lesson of patience - and you haven't learned this morning because I was angry, late for the bus; a lesson in humility - you have not learned, because when at work you were rude, you mean you cursed these people; a love lesson - but this lesson you have learned, passing on a pedestrian crossing the man ahead of you. "Let pass, thought you, nothing happened". These are the lessons, and I wish they were not in vain.

Please note - our father, though separate prayer means, "father of mine." But we are talking "our", because praying alone, feel our unity with others.

Spiritual maturity is when a person is not interested in others. He did not believe that I should do anyway, because one way or another does someone else. He has his own opinion, he to no one so can anywhere to say what he thinks is right, regardless of the opinions of others on this matter and their relationship to it. If I say nothing, so as not to harm his reputation - I'm not free. Agree? Don't you want to be free? Agree or disagree, to Express their point of view - no matter how Holy or was your companion.

Low self esteem, lack of respect for yourself, neglecting yourself is not humility. If the person doesn't value herself is not humility. Humility is not when you can't stand on his own feet and constantly need support. On the contrary, we insult God, if He gave us those gifts and abilities through which we can contend.
