Archpriest Dimitry Smirnov
And if we wish to learn love, we must also live for the sake of our neighbor. Look around! Here are your neighbors, and each one needs to be shown love, regardless of whether you feel it or not.
Hieromonk Athanasius (Deryugin)
Our saints strove to ensure that the Liturgy never ceased, even when there were a minimum of possible external conditions for this.
Igumen Cyprian (Parts)
A person should only put the Lord first. You must walk towards this through repentance.
Archpriest Maxim Nikolsky
He had knowledge, wisdom, and love. He spoke directly, like a close friend and a father.
Abbess Maria (Miros)
Mother Maria was born in Australia and obtained a degree in medicine. But feeling a special call from God, she became a nun. We talked about the convent, choosing the monastic path, and repentance.
Bishop Alexei (Trader) of Alaska
We have examples of saints, including modern ones, who show with their lives that holiness can be achieved.
Priest Stanislav Rasputin

Fr. Alexander Paramonov
Priest Alexander Paramonov resides and serves in an Australian town called Gold Coast. He answered our questions regarding his life and, together with his wife, matushka Leah, he told us what life is like for Christians in that remote corner of the world.
Archimandrite Job (Gumerov)
Humility is a state of mind freed from passions. It manifests itself in relation to God, people and yourself. Neither the world with its temptations, nor the flesh, nor the love of glory, nor jealousy, nor envy make a humble person a captive.
Hieromonk Agafangel (Davlatov)
Human needs are basically the same as they were thousands of years ago—the rest is imposed upon us through the media, ads on the street, and idle talk with friends; therefore, it’s better to limit our TV, tablet, phone usage, and protect ourselves from empty chatter. When we remain, to the best of our ability, cut off from temptations, there are fewer occasions for sin.
On the Apodosis of Pascha some brethren of the Moscow Sretensky Monastery have answered the question of how to preserve Paschal joy.

Igumen Cyprian (Parts) from Moscow’s Sretensky Monastery talks about Paschal joy and the prerequisites for it.
