If you are depressed, you do not need to see a psychoanalyst. Generate love and compassion in your heart, and depression will go away by itself, because depression is a consequence of egocentrism, fixation on one’s “I”. You look too closely at your little problem, bring it too close to your eyes, and this makes your depression worse. Look at your problem from afar, but take a closer look at the problems of other people. Depression will evaporate just as the darkness in a room disappears at dawn when the sun's rays penetrate the window.

She evoked strange feelings at that moment. It seems to be pity, but not compassion. It seemed as if her heart had been ripped out of her, and sadness remained just another ghost, a memory of love on the bones of hatred.

In modern society, where cruelty and hatred towards others are often cultivated, the struggle with other people for gaining high social status and appropriating maximum material wealth is encouraged, the Church must preach in word and demonstrate in practice its faith and conviction that compassion, mercy , sacrificial love for another person is a universal and absolute ethical value.

I can't make someone else stop suffering. It is important to let people go and let them live their lives, and let you do your own. The doors of positive change can only be opened from within. The request and desire to change must be hard-earned.

Lord our God, our young patriots, the idols of our hearts, go into battle - be with them! In our thoughts, together with them, we leave the peace and warmth of our dear hearths and go to smash our enemies. Lord our God, help us smash their soldiers to bloody shreds with shells; help us to litter their flowering fields with the lifeless corpses of their patriots; help us drown out the roar of the guns with the cries of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us with a hurricane of fire to raze their modest dwellings to the ground; help us to torment the hearts of their innocent widows with inconsolable grief; help us to deprive them of friends and shelter, so that they roam with their little children through the barren plains of their devastated country, in tatters, tormented by thirst and hunger, scorched by the sun in summer, trembling from the icy wind in winter, completely despairing, vainly begging you to open before them the doors of the grave so that they may find rest; for us who worship you, O Lord, crush their hopes to ashes, ruin their lives, prolong their woeful wanderings, make their steps heavier, sprinkle their path with tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! With love and faith, we pray for this to the one who is the source of love, a true friend and refuge for all those who suffer, who seek his help with a humble heart and a penitent soul. Amen.

And both reached the ears of the one who hears all requests - expressed and unspoken. Think about it - and remember. If you begin to ask for blessings on your deeds and deeds, be careful, because at this moment you can inadvertently bring a curse on your neighbor. If you pray for rain, because your fields need it, then you may be praying for a disaster for a neighbor whose land does not need moisture and rain will only spoil his crop.
