The path of believing people is a way of reducingsinful deeds, and such a concept as "take your cross" means to carry on a continuous struggle with bad character traits. So says and thinks, the rector of the church of St. Sergius of Radonezh is in Moscow, Father Alexander.
Родился Александр Абрамов 9 июля 1973 года в Moscow. Parents were not believers, so the son was not brought up in the spirit of faith. After graduating from high school with a silver medal, Alexander first entered the Moscow State University at the Faculty of History, as he was seriously interested in history and the scientific approach to it. From 1995-1998, the young man studied in graduate school of the same faculty. Later, the knowledge received in the university, served as the basis for his activities in the bosom of the church.
In 2000, the future archpriest Alexander Abramovmade a decisive act, enrolling in the Moscow Theological Seminary, and a year later - in the Theological Academy. At the end he was ordained a deacon and then a priest.
Father Alexander, besides serving in the temple, taught moral theology, served in the Department of External Church Relations, was a clergyman of the St. Nicholas Patriarchal Cathedral from 2003 to 2005.
The book "Resurrection of Christ having seen" fatherAlexandra is written especially for those who for valid reasons can not attend the liturgy from beginning to end, who comes to the temple at the end to the "Symbol of Faith" or to "Our Father", and leaves right after the sacrament and can not even listen to the sermons of the priest .
In the book of Archpriest Alexander Abramov printedThe Gospel readings of the calendar year. In addition, it explains the events dear to the heart, which occurred more than two thousand years ago. Father Alexander considers Sunday a small Easter, and the Gospel and Apostolic readings, gradually, week by week lead to an understanding of the Gospel itself.
In addition to this book, another publication appearedArchpriest Alexander Abramov, "The Spring of Our Hope". In the book the priest describes every day of Lent, or, as they say, "Great Fourteen".
The book gives an understanding of the post itself, what is the point inthis is invested, because fasting is not an ordinary diet for losing weight. In these days, all believers should be twice as attentive to their lives, observe the movements of the soul, correct sinful impulses and passions through confession and communion. Fasting is a time of grace for the soul, and it is undesirable to violate it (without good reason).
Archpriest Alexander Abramov, referring tothe reader, helps to fill the inner world with spiritual meaning and otherwise look at the world outside, in true humility repent of sins, and then with joy and with an easy heart to meet the Passover.
Vera's radio hosts often invite their fatherAlexander to the talks, which raise questions on topical issues. For example, recently a conversation on the topic "Relations with relatives" was published, why native people are being targeted for attacks, how to build relationships with them, and so on. Protopriest Alexander Abramov considers the model of aggressive behavior to be close to the unacceptable and gives an example of how parents and children communicated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. How much there was between them mutual respect and genuine interest in the problems of both parents and children, moreover, the parents tried to listen sincerely and give advice to fledgling offspring.
There was another interesting conversation between the priest and the leaderA. Pichugin on the topic of condemnation. In fact, the sin of condemnation has become so firmly entrenched in people's lives that many people do not even notice it. Condemn in passing, just like that, for the sake of red words.
Apart from this, serious violations of religiousprescriptions, many can not live without conviction or justify their own behavior, saying that they just argue. Father Alexander gives excellent advice, taken from the Gospel, to those who want to get rid of this sin - by what measure you judge a person, by the same measure and you will be condemned. Consequently, the severity in this case is against the person.
Archpriest Alexander is a prominent public figurepersonality, so his opinion for the parishioners is especially important. The purpose of life, the father believes, is a love of God and neighbor, and Jesus Christ is true love.
