Митрополит Арсеній: як відповідати на критику Церкви та зберігати віру

In his sermon, Metropolitan Arseny answers the question: how to behave when the Church is criticized. 🌿 The faithful should not enter into arguments or indignation, and the main answer is their own piety, filling the temples with prayer and obedience to the commandments. 🌿 The service of God unites everyone with the Savior; it is in the temple that a person feels peace, protection and spiritual joy in communicating with the Mother of God and the Righteous. 🌿 The love of the Church is comprehensive: it prays for the whole world, for peace, for the lost, for the unbaptized. We do not save the Church - it saves us, like a loving mother for her children. --- TIMECODES: 00:00:00 — Signs of Spiritual Decline 00:00:25 — Challenges and Criticism of the Church 00:01:32 — The Response of the Faithful – Piety and Prayer 00:03:00 — The Commandment to Honor the Lord’s Day 00:05:32 — The Temple as a Place of Meeting with God and the Mother of God 00:07:11 — The Church as a Mother Praying for All 00:09:59 — We Do Not Save the Church, but She Saves Us
