О исповести
Исповест је једна од хришћанских светих тајни у којој верник исповеда своје грехове свештенику (исповеднику) и прима опроштај грехова учињених после крштења, ради обнове своје заједнице са Богом и помирења са литургијском заједницом чији је он члан.
Свете тајне покајања и исповести, у хришћанској традицији сматрају се неизбежним начелима у животу једног верника.
Тајна исповести претпоставља четири елемента:
1. кајање;
2. исповедање грехова;
3. молитву за опроштај;
4. помирење са заједницом, које се манифестује светим причешћем.
Покајање има стални карактер и може се вршити независно од причешћа.
Исповест се врши у храму или исповедаоници, пред свештеником. Верник тада исповеда све оно што га мучи у души и што му оптерећује савест, удаљује га од заједнице с Богом и Богослужења. Исповедају се греси, чак и они учињени у мислима и жељама. Препоручљиво је, исповедити свако огрешење о ближње, јер сваки грех који је учињен људима, чини се исто тако и Богу.
На основу исповести свештеник може дати различити духовни лек - епитимију, према озбиљности грехова: ванредни пост, посебне молитве, накнаду некоме кога смо оштетили, дела милосрђа, или да се за извесно време не приступа Светој тајни причешћа.
Савременим исповедницима забрањено је откривати грехе исповеданих.

About Confession
Confession is one of the Christian sacraments in which a believer confesses his sins to a priest (confessor) and receives forgiveness for sins committed after baptism, in order to renew his communion with God and reconcile with the liturgical community of which he is a member.
The sacraments of repentance and confession, in the Christian tradition, are considered indispensable principles in the life of a believer.
The sacrament of confession presupposes four elements:
1. repentance;
2. confession of sins;
3. prayer for forgiveness;
4. reconciliation with the community, which is manifested in Holy Communion.
Repentance has a permanent character and can be performed independently of Communion.
Confession is performed in a church or confessional, before a priest. The believer then confesses everything that torments his soul and that burdens his conscience, distances him from communion with God and divine service. Sins are confessed, even those committed in thoughts and desires. It is advisable to confess every sin against his neighbor, because every sin committed against people is also committed against God.
Based on the confession, the priest can give different spiritual remedies - penance, depending on the seriousness of the sins: extraordinary fasting, special prayers, compensation for someone we have harmed, works of mercy, or not approaching the Holy Sacrament of Communion for a certain period of time.
Modern confessors are forbidden to reveal the sins of those confessed.

No death is more bitter than the death of an unholy sinner. His wickedness kindles fire and an unquenchable flame, despair and the loss of all hope. Deliver us from such a death and have mercy on us according to Your goodness!

In the Resurrection Chapel the notorious Dachau concentration camp at is a large icon depicting angels opening the camp’s gates, and Christ Himself leading the prisoners to freedom in the final days of WWII in 1945.
On April 29, a week before Pascha, “the electric power is turned off, the gates open and the American GIs make their entrance. As they stare wide-eyed at our lot, half-starved and suffering from typhus and dysentery, they appear more like fifteen-year-old boys than battle-weary soldiers...

"Духовни бољшевизам главни је ослонац политичког бољшевизма у његовом грандиозном плану за покоравање света. И док не обратимо потребну пажњу на борбу против тог духовног бољшевизма у нашим сопственим душама, на његово одлучно искорењивање и превладавање у нашем црквеном, друштвеном, породичном и личном животу, остаће бесплодне све наше наде на било какву бољу будућност за нас, за Русију и за читав свет. Ако заиста, не само на речима, стремимо тој бољој будућности и спасењу наше Отаџбине а са њом и читавог света од страшне претње бољшевизма која се над њим надвила, онда треба да схватимо да пут ка томе циљу није у данашњој нездравој склоности ка сталном организовању демонстрација, у испразним великим речима и лакомисленом провођењу времена – него само у потпуном обновљењу нашег живота у духу истинске Христове вере, у духу истинске православне црквености, који нас сједињују са Богом и дају нам ту благодатну силу Божију, без које се не може уништити сатанско царство бољшевизма."

St. Nicholas Parish in Lipras Manukan, the Philippines. Part of the Diocese of the Philippines and Vietnam under the Moscow Patriarchate, it is one of the most remote Orthodox parishes on the island of Mindanao. This southern island is the major nexus of the Russian Orthodox mission to the Philippines, and the largest number of Orthodox churches in the country is located there. This one is located a long distance from the major concentration of former Aglipayan converts clustered around General Santos, and the faithful here are largely isolated from their brethren located elsewhere. Despite this this parish is also growing, receiving a permanent priest just a year ago and baptizing six converts this past February.

In one church, a priest noticed that almost every Sunday at the Liturgy, a certain servant of God with two crutches stood and prayed. Once after the service, he approached her, asked her name, inquired about the circumstances of her life and, by the way, inquired whether it was difficult for her to be in the church of God every Sunday with such sore legs. In response, the woman uttered amazing words: "Yes, Father, it is difficult, but before my legs go to the church, my heart goes first."
