Kirill Ivanov Archpriest Biography

For this reason, the priest urged the Russians to ask for tests, so that, in addition to reducing salaries, the Lord sent them more migrants and in general, so that all countries “take up arms against Rus', to our Fatherland, to our homeland” because, as the priest says, this will help us all turn to God and rely only on Him. Then it will only be worse. Therefore, probably, you need to immediately take it just like that and pray to the Lord.

Well, let's pray together. Lord, taking away salaries from us so that we learn not to be attached to the earthly. We went more as many migrants as possible. So that we think that we do not need to kill our children in the womb. Lord, taking from us doctors and teachers in order to learn to value their work in order to learn to appreciate what we have. Lord, all countries have gone to us, let all the countries take up arms against us, on Rus', on our Fatherland, to our homeland, to learn how to rely, to hope for only one of you.

Here, probably, such a prayer would now be very appropriate, and not that’s all, ”said the priest. This moment from the sermons of the clergyman very quickly scattered over the Internet, causing an ambiguous, and often condemning the reaction among Russians. How to understand this?! Why do the ministers of the Church do not try to carefully select words, often simply humiliating many, although we all, according to the law, must choose those thoroughly, so as not to get into an article about the insult of the feelings of believers?

Do our feelings be offended? However, a little later, the priest on his telegram channel stated that he simply did not understand him and generally pulled out the words from the context. Indeed, according to the clergyman, the need for migrants arose due to abortion. The artificial termination of pregnancy is to blame for the fact that there is no one to work in order to provide pensions of the elderly.

And we will learn how to appreciate the work of doctors and teachers when we lose them. As for salaries, then if they are not there, then people will remember that someone is even more difficult for someone today. Indeed, today many continue to live an ordinary life, although the country is conducting fighting. And his goal was to call people to pray for the strengthening of sorrow in Russia so that people would again turn to God.

Unfortunately, some did not understand these words, cutting them out of context, and tried to inflate a scandal around this.

Therefore, I apologize if I seduced someone or confused someone. In my words there was exclusively the desire for our people. It is no accident that our Orthodox Church is called new Israel. Remember what was happening to the dilapidated Israel when he departed from God. The Lord sent him sorrow, enemies, and the people again turned to the Lord. I would like now, in these difficult times, our people also turn to the Lord, but instead the opposite is happening.

I apologize to everyone I seduced, I deleted the sermon, I will post it without this prayer, I will pray for the offenders. Keep everyone, Lord, dear, ”the clergyman said.
