Priest Nicolas Francois Xavier
At first, I did not understand the meaning of all the words, but once during prayer the Lord said to me: “Hear this praise. I am adored, revered, and praised. Just listen to the praise! Praise ascends to Me!” and I have found a nation that loves God and honors God because He is merciful, because He is omnipresent, because He is love.

Only our repentance and prayer to the Mother of God can avert this horror, this defeat, this despondency, this captivity to the devil and his servants.
Hieromonk Athanasius (Deryugin)
Amazing! You would think that all reasonable people would agree on what’s written in the Gospel: We must love our neighbors, forgive them, and live in peace. Nevertheless, not a single religion has been subjected or is being subjected to such persecutions as Christianity.
Hieromonk Athanasy (Deryugin)
Even for many believers, monasticism is an incomprehensible phenomenon. Why should someone suddenly consciously complicate his life: constantly praying and obeying his spiritual guide in everything. Hieromonk Athanasy (Deryugin), the dean of Sretensky Monastery, speaks about how he made his own choice.
Together with the brethren of the monastery, more than 100 graduates of the Sretensky Theological Seminary served and prayed at the festal Liturgy, as well as numerous parishioners.

We decided to get acquainted with some of them and ask them about their impressions of Russia and Russians, what cities they visited, about our culture and mentality.

Bishop Tikhon (Shevkunov)

The journalist asks rather provocative and uninformed questions about the Church’s past and present relationship with the Soviet and Russian governments, and Bishop Tikhon provides his views on the complex subject of “Sergianism”, dissidents, and the Church in Russian society today. Although the liberal journalist and the bishop generally aren’t on the same intellectual page, this interview reveals what the Church in Russia now faces—no longer from the communist but now from the liberal press.

The opening of a new church was a common occurrence in Moscow, a city which was formerly nicknamed “the forty forties”, or “the city of 1,600 churches”. But for the first time in many decades a new church has appeared in the capital’s historical center—at the Moscow Sretensky Stavropegic Monastery in Bolshaya Lubyanka Street. And it is an absolutely new church on this site.
