Уныние / Метанойя

"Metanoia" with Archpriest Grigory Grigoryev Despondency is called the disease of our time. Never before has man lived in such comfort and never before so often encountered inner emptiness, anxiety, and loss of meaning. If despondency is one of the main spiritual diseases of man, then is there a real cure? Watch in this issue: ▪ Why did the Holy Fathers consider despondency to be one of the most dangerous passions? ▪ Is the "noonday demon" from Psalm 90 despondency? ▪ How is despondency different from depression, and who should you see first: a priest or a doctor? ▪ What should you not do when you are despondent, so as not to increase the inner emptiness? ▪ Despondency and addiction: why does a person in a state of inner emptiness reach for alcohol, drugs, and other passions? ▪ What is Christian joy, and can you cultivate it?
