Preparation for confession (list of sins according to the Orthodox prayer book published by Holy Dormition Pochaev Lavra in 2015

(A short list of the most common sins in our time).

Preparing for confession, write down from the list of sins that convict Your conscience. If a lot of them, you need to start from the most serious — death. Communion is possible only with the blessing of the priest. Repentance before God involves not indifferent enumeration of their bad deeds, and sincere condemnation of their sinfulness and determination to correct!

I (name of) have sinned before God: weak faith (doubt in His being). I do not have to God, no love, no proper fear, so seldom to confession and receive Holy communion, (which brought the soul to the fossilization of insensibility towards God). Rarely attend Church on Sundays and holidays (work, trade, entertainment these days). I do not know how to repent, I do not see sins. I do not remember death and do not prepare to appear before the Judgment of God (the Memory of death and future judgment helps to avoid sin).

I have sinned: I do not thank God for his mercy. Disobedience to the will of God (I wish that everything was in my own way). The pride hope for myself and the people and not on God. By attributing success to myself and not to God. Fear of suffering, impatience of sorrows and diseases (they are allowed by God to cleanse the soul from sin). Murmuring at the cross of life (fate), at people. Cowardice, despondency, sadness, accusing God of cruelty, despair of salvation, desire (attempt) suicide.

Sinned: Tardiness and early departure from Church. Inattention during the service (to reading and singing, talking, laughing, dozing...). Walking around the temple unnecessarily, pushing and being rude. On pride would leave with sermons criticizing and condemning priest. In female impurity dared to touch the Shrine.

I have sinned: through laziness I do not read morning and evening prayers (completely from the prayer book), I shorten them. I pray absently. Praying with an uncovered head. Had(a) hostility in the middle. A careless depiction of the sign of the cross. Not wearing a cross. Unholy veneration of Holy icons and shrines of the Church. To the detriment of prayer, reading the gospel, Psalms and spiritual literature watched (a) TV (Bogobortsy through films teach people to violate the commandments of God about chastity before marriage, adultery, cruelty, sadism, damage the mental health of young people. Graft them through " Harry Potter..."unhealthy interest in magic, sorcery and quietly drawn into disastrous communication with the devil. In the media, this iniquity before God is presented as something positive, in color and in a romantic way. Christian! Turn away from sin and save yourself and your children for Eternity!!!). Cowardly silence, when I blasphemed, shame to be baptized and confess the Lord in front of people (this is one of the types of renunciation of Christ). Blasphemy against God and all Holy things. Wearing shoes with crosses on the sole. The use for household needs Newspapers... where it's written about God... The animals were called by the names of the people "Vaska", "Masha". I spoke of God without reverence or humility.

I have sinned: he dared to begin Communion without proper preparation (without reading canons and prayers, concealing and diminishing sins in confession, in enmity, without fasting and thanksgiving prayers...). The days of the Communion are not held sacred (in prayer, reading the gospel..., and indulged in entertainment, eating, sleeping much, idle talk. . .).

Eating the blood of animals (a pudding...). (Forbidden By God — Leviticus 7, 26-27; 17, 13-14, Acts. 15, 20-21'29). In fast day festive (memorial) the table was modest. The dead were commemorated with vodka (this paganism and Christianity is not consistent).

Have sinned by: idle talk (empty talk about the everyday hustle and bustle... ). By telling and listening to vulgar anecdotes. Condemnation people, priests and monks (and their sins not see). Hearing and retelling gossip and blasphemous anecdotes (about God, the Church and the clergy). (This through me sowed temptation, and blasphemed the name of God among people). Commemoration of the name of God in vain (unnecessarily, in empty conversations, jokes). Lies, deception, non-fulfillment of promises given to God (people). Foul language, abusive (this is a blasphemy against the mother of God) swearing with the mention of evil spirits (evil demons called in conversations will harm us). Slander, the spread of evil rumors and gossip, disclosure of others ' sins and weaknesses. Listened to slander with pleasure and consent. On pride humiliated neighbors ridicule (banter), stupid jokes... Immoderate laughter, laughter. Laughed at beggars, cripples, someone else's grief...

Addiction to gambling and entertainment (cards, dominoes, computer games, TV, cinemas, discos, cafes, bars, restaurants, casinos...).

Prodigal perversions (Masturbation), poses, oral and anal fornication). Sodom sins (homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, incest (fornication with relatives)).

Introducing the temptation of men shamelessly dressed in short and slashed skirts, pants, shorts, tight and translucent clothing, (this violated the commandment of God about the appearance of women. She must dress beautifully, but within the bounds of Christian shame and conscience. A Christian woman should be an image of God, not a God-fighting, stripped-naked repainted, with a clawed paw instead of a human hand, the image of Satan) was cut, painted...

I visited the mausoleum, atheistic events...

A cold and unfeeling confession. I sin consciously, trampling on the convicting conscience. There is no firm determination to correct my sinful life. I repent that I offended the Lord with my sins, I sincerely regret it and will try to correct myself.

Point out and other sins, whatever sinned.

Новый интернет сайт Иконописной и столярной мастерской Киево-Печерской лавры

Дорогие братья и сестры.

Сообщаю Вам, что интернет сайт Иконописной и столярной мастерской Киево-Печерской лавры изменил свой домен и теперь доступен по адресу https://ikonavlavre.com/

смартфон - икона антихриста

Снова новостные порталы запестрили информацией о новинке в мире современных технологий - новой модели iPhone. Но давайте с Вами задумаемся о том, что лежит за гранью обычной коммерции.

Как православные христиане, мы с вами почти наверняка носим на шее небольшой крест. Мы прекрасно понимаем, что это не тот самый крест на котором был распят Спаситель, но символ служащий образом Честного и Животворящего Креста Господня.  И именно поэтому он нам так дорог.

Что же за символы используются в современных смартфонах?

Apple. Если проводить взаимосвязь с первыми главами книги бытия, то мы сможем легко разглядеть надкушенный прародителями плод с дерева познания добра и зла. Как Крест Христов для православных христиан символ спасения, так и для сатаны надкушенное яблоко символ грехопадения и не удивительно, что этот бренд занимает сегодня лидирующие позиции.

Android. Логотип операционной системы не отображается на корпусе самих смартфонов, вместе с тем изображение отражается в консоли разработчика, а также изредка всплывает на экране пользователя в моменты обновления операционной системы. Как заявляют создатели логотипа – на нем изображен зеленый робот с рожками, вместе с тем традиционно в Православии рогатым изображался совсем не робот, а сатана и его демоны.

Как мы знаем глаз человека способен фиксировать изображения с частотой 24 кадра в секунду. При этом, с какой долей вероятности можно утверждать, что эти изображения не выводятся пользователю на экран смартфона, с частотой 25 кадров в секунду или чаще?

Одна из десяти Заповедей гласит «Не делай себе кумира и никакого изображения того, что на небе вверху, что на земле внизу, и что в воде ниже земли. Не поклоняйся им и не служи им; ибо Я Господь, Бог твой, Бог ревнитель, наказывающий детей за вину отцов до третьего и четвёртого рода, ненавидящих Меня, и творящий милость до тысячи родов любящим Меня и соблюдающим заповеди Мои».

По последним исследованиям среднестатистический пользователь коммуницирует со свои смартфоном до 150 раз в день. При этом многие согласятся, что делать это приходится со склоненной головой, держа смартфон в руках. Чему или кому кланяемся?

А ведь именно 150 раз нужно прочитать Богородичное правило. Всегда есть выбор – или зайти в месенджер или социальную сеть, или помолиться Богу.

Пророчества преподобного Лаврентия Черниговского (1868-1950) об антихристе и последних временах.

Батюшка при беседе говорил, что будет война, а одна сестра говорит: «Хорошо, что война, потому что к числу мучеников будут причислены…». А Батюшка возразил, что не все, а только верующие, а неверующие пойдут в ад. А сестра говорит: «Так это и погибнуть можно». А Батюшка сказал, что слабых Господь заберет, а другие очистятся болезнями. Будут такие, что на войне омоют грехи своей кровью и причтутся к числу мучеников. А самых сильных Господь оставит для встречи с Ним.

                Батюшка часто любил беседовать о последнем времени со своими любимыми чадами, как нужно быть бдительными. «Вот сейчас голосуем, то левой рукой брось – это ничего, да еще и не за одного во всем мире. А если будут голосовать за одного – это уже он самый, и голосовать нельзя». Еще говорил: «Такая будет война, что ничего нигде не останется, разве только в ущелье».

                И говорил, что будут драться и останутся два или три государства и скажут: изберем себе одного царя на всю вселенную.

                И в последнее время будут истинные христиане ссылаться, а старые и немощные пусть хоть за колеса хватаются и бегут за ними.

                Батюшка часто повторял беседы об антихристе. Такие говорил слова: «Будет время, когда будут ходить подписывать за одного царя на земле. И будут строго переписывать людей. Зайдут в дом, а там муж, жена и дети. И вот жена станет уговаривать своего супруга: «Давай, супруг, подпишемся. Ведь у нас дети, тогда же ничего не купишь для них». А муж скажет: «Дорогая супруга, ты как хочешь, а я готов умереть, но за антихриста подписывать не буду». «Такая трогательная картина будущего», - заключил старец.

                «Приходит время, - рассказывал о. Лаврентий, - когда и недействующие храмы (закрытые) будут ремонтировать, оборудовать не только снаружи, но и внутри. Купола будут золотить как храмов, так и колоколен. А когда закончат уже все, наступит время, когда воцарится антихрист. Молитесь, чтобы Господь продолжил нам еще это время для укрепления, потому что страшное ожидает нас время. И видите, как все коварно готовится? Все храмы будут в величайшем благолепии, как никогда, а ходить в те храмы нельзя будет. Антихрист будет короноваться как царь в Иерусалимском великолепном с участием духовенства и Патриарха.

                Будет свободный въезд в Иерусалим и выезд для всякого человека. Но только старайтесь не ездить, потому что все будет сделано, чтоб прельстить.

                Антихрист будет происходить от блудной девы – еврейки двенадцатого колена «блудодеяния». Уже отроком он будет очень способным и умным, а особенно с тех пор, когда он, будучи мальчиком лет 12-ти,гуляя с матерью по саду, встретиться с сатаною, который, выйдя из самой бездны, войдет в него. Мальчик вздрогнет от испуга, а сатана скажет: «Не бойся, я буду помогать тебе». Из этого отрока созреет в образе человеческом «антихрист». При его короновании, когда будет читаться «Символ веры» он не даст его правильно прочесть, где будут слова за Иисуса Христа, как Сына Божия, он отречется от этого, а признает только себя. И при этом Патриарх воскликнет, что это антихрист, и за это будет умерщвлен.

                При короновании «антихрист» будет в перчатках. И когда будет их снимать, чтоб перекреститься, Патриарх заметит, что у него на пальцах не ногти, а когти, и это послужит к большему уверению, что это антихрист. Сойдут с неба пророки Енох и Илия, которые также будут людям разъяснять и восклицать: «Это антихрист, не верьте ему».

                И он умертвит их, но они воскреснут и полетят на небо.

                Антихрист будет сильно обучен всем хитростям сатанинским, и он будет делать знамения ложные.

                Его будет слышать и видеть весь мир.

                Он «своих людей» будет «штамповать» печатями. Будет ненавидеть христиан. Начнется уже последнее гонение не христианскую душу, которая отречется от печати сатаны.

                Сразу начнется гонение на земле Иерусалимской, а потом по всем местам земного шара прольется последняя кровь за имя нашего Искупителя Иисуса Христа. Из вас, чада мои, многие доживут до этого страшного времени. Печати будут такие, что сразу видно будет: принял человек или нет.

                Ничего нельзя будет ни купить, ни продать христианину. Но не унывайте. Господь своих чад не оставит… Бояться не нужно!...

                Церкви будут, но ходить христианину православному в них нельзя будет, так как там не будет приноситься Бескорованя Жертва Иисуса Христа, а там будет все «сатанинское» сборище…

                И вот за это беззаконие земля перестанет родить, от бездождия все потрескается, даст такие щели, что человек может упасть.

                Христиан будут умерщвлять или ссылать в пустынные места. Но Господь будет помогать и питать своих последователей. Евреев также будут сгонять в одно место. Некоторые евреи, которые истинно жили по закону Моисея, не примут печать антихриста. Они будут выжидать, присматриваться к его действиям. Они знают, что их предки не признали Христа за Мессию, но и здесь так Бог даст, что глаза их откроются, и они не примут печати сатаны, и признают Христа и будут царствовать со Христом.

                А весь слабый народ пойдет за сатаной, и когда земля не даст урожая, люди придут к нему с просьбой дать хлеба, а он ответит: «Земля не родит хлеба. Я ничего не могу сделать».

                Воды также не будет, все реки и озера высохнут. Это бедствие будет длиться три с половиной года. Но ради избранных Своих Господь сократит те дни. В те дни еще будут сильные борцы, столпы Православия, которые будут под сильным воздействием сердечной Иисусовой молитвы. И Господь будет покрывать их Своей всемогущей благодатью, и они не будут видеть тех ложных знамений, которые будут приготовлены для всех людей. Еще раз повторяю, что ходить в те храмы будет нельзя, благодати в них не будет».

                Одна сестра, слушая эту беседу, спросила: «Как быть? Не хотелось бы дожить до этого времени». «А ты молодая, можешь дожить», - сказал старец. «А как страшно!» - воскликнула сестра. «А вот ты и выбирай одно из двух – или земное, или небесное».

                «Будет война, - продолжал Батюшка, - и где она пройдет, там людей не будет. А перед этим Господь слабым людям пошлет небольшие болезни, и они умрут. А при антихристе болезней не будет. И война третья Всемирная уже будет не для покаяния, а для истребления». Сестра спросила: «Так это все погибнут?» «Нет, если верующие и омоются кровью, то причтутся к числу мучеников, а если неверующие, то пойдут во ад, - ответил Батюшка. – И пока не восполнится число отпавших Ангелов. Господь не придет судить. Но в последнее время Господь и живых, записанных в книгу «Жизни» причисляет к числу Ангелов недостающего счета, «отпавших».

                «Ремонт храмов будет продолжаться до самого пришествия антихриста, и везде будет благолепие небывалое, - говорил Батюшка. – А вы для нашей церкви в ремонте будьте умеренны, в ее наружном виде. Больше молитесь, ходите в церковь, пока есть возможность, особенно на Литургию, на которой приносится Бескровная Жертва за грехи всего мира. Почаще исповедуйтесь и причащайтесь Тела и крови Христовой, и Вас Господь укрепит».

                «Господь милостивый. Он тех евреев, которые откажутся принять печать антихриста, а воскликнут, что это обман, а не наш «мессия», спасет».

                Батюшка с одним иеродиаконом беседовал о последнем времени, горько обливался слезами говоря: «Много духовенства погибнет при антихристе».

                Батюшка часто сокрушался и слезно молился или что-либо рассказывал со слезами. Сестры успокаивали его, на что он возражал: «Да как же не плакать, когда полна бездна людских душ».

                У Батюшки была сильна любовь ко всем, за что Господь одарил его даром молитвы сердечной и прозорливостью.

Appearance of The Lord Jesus Christ in the village of Demidov in Kiev region (the word of the Saviour about the antichrist). part 2

When antichrist will appear, he will be surrounded by the shining, arranged by electricity, he will pass oneself off as God. People will bow down to him. <Rebellious> will be put in prisons, starved, put to the stakes and by other tortures <forced>, but those believers in God will not feel any pain. The angel of the Lord will support them and communicate them the Holy Communion.

Before the appearing of antichrist, in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, where the Great Church, the main side chapel and the Cross will be removed and will open up the abomination of desolation, the icon of the Dormition of Mother of God will be taken to Heaven, where the Throne of Glory. The Lord said, "Pray every morning, evening and at 12 midnight until the first hour: the heavens opens, prayer of praying comes to My Throne, always accept. More often go to Church, confess, communicate the Holy Communion".

The Saviour said, "Children, tell the world that I come to you, for I was compelled to warn the world that the last time hearts will grow cold and turn to stone, people do not believe in God nor His Law, as the people before the flood. All the scientists shout: "there is no God, only nature". Left My holy holidays, choose their own and began to worship idols. As the people of Israel gave way in the desert to listen to the wise men of this age, that there is no God. God exist omnipotent, omnipresent, inconceivable: by a single Word created visible and invisible world. For I am the Creator of the entire universe and I will control it forever, Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End.

Although antichrist will be allowed then to dominate the world for their sins. He will raise up persecution of the Church, and it will go into the wilderness and hide from him, but as I resurrected in the third day, and My Church will resurrect and will triumph forever. I say to all: repent! I'll accept your repentance, for the time of existence is short. Soon, soon I am coming to judge the world! All sinners, fornicators, adulterers, drunkards, detractors, smokers, trampling My Holy Cross, who is ashamed to worn the Cross, don't honor My holidays; do not keep fast, established by the Holy Church, like the Baptists and profanity - all the sinners will burn with hell fire".

The Lord ended His commands and gave the Holy gospel <?to venerate > to two youths, blessed and  said, to place in the memory of My appearance the Cross and the icon, as I come to you, for the worship of the world. Turned to the East and disappeared in the sky, then the all angels disappeared.

I apologize for possible mistakes in grammar, correct spelling or anything else.

Part 3 will be published after further translation

Appearance of The Lord Jesus Christ in the village of Demidov in Kiev region (the word of the Lord about the antichrist). part 1

The appearance of the Saviour our Lord Jesus Christ in 1926 (according to another notebook in 1925) July 30, at 8 a.m., near Kiev, between the villages of Demidov and Glebovka two boys: Nicholas boy of 11 years (Nikolai Maksimovich Kuprienko) and 14 years Emelyan (Emelyan Ivanovich Feshchenko).

The week before, on 24 July, on the night of Sunday, Saviour appeared in a dream to Emelyan and said, "You will see Me in reality with another boy. See for yourself, that you were not afraid!" Thus He blessed him with both hands as a bishop and, turning to the East, became invisible. Emelyan started praying in the dream, but he was awakened by the owner.

A week later, on July 30, these boys took the cattle to pasture once, before the other shepherds and were surprised that. They were two miles from the village. It was 8 o'clock in the morning. They had breakfast, and began to disperse among themselves for a few steps, suddenly lightning heavily flashed and forced them to stop. Emelyan thought it was him in the eyes appeared, and said bewildered: "What it will be so much lightning flashed?" And Nicholas says: "It will Probably be raining! But Emelyan mind: "Where will the rain come when there are no clouds in the sky and no wind?" This Nicholas replied: "Then who knows what will happen."

After this conversation in a few moments, suddenly from the West seemed the sky to become pink, and among them appeared a majestic Cross, shining like the sun. To the sky a Cross of four arshin *, a width of as a person fit, to land a Cross did not reach two arshin, beneath it stretched clouds and the base of it was hidden in the clouds. On the upper background Cross appeared person standing as if on the cross. First Cross with a man appeared in the distance, and then in a flash close to the boys.

Nicholas, seeing the approach of shining light lightning cross, he was afraid and said to Emelyan: "Run, because impure! (it means evil spirit)", - and ran away, but the Lord immediately stopped them, saying: "No, I'm pure. Children, do not fear Me and do not go away, I am Jesus, your Lord God, the Saviour of the world, the Son of the Living God living in heaven, I came to tell you My orders." The boys stopped. The Saviour was in that light and indescribable beauty of that Divine face It was impossible to see. It shone stronger than the sun and whiter than snow, His power unfathomable, and from It came the power of grace and the fragrance of heaven. When the Saviour spoke, from His mouth came a flame of fire, His voice was heard in the entire universe, His underwear robe was pink, top bright blue, thrown over the left shoulder under the right arm. In his left hand down at the breast He was holding the open Gospel and his right to bless the children and all the while was holding his hand to bless. His golden hair stretches for the shoulders, and He has a small beard. Above the Saviour's head triangle was visible as the letter "A", shining with a fiery light. Very bright rainbow was over the triangle, dipping the ends on both sides of the Saviour down to the cloud that supported the Cross. On the top of the rainbow, on the sides of the triangle stood two angels, only the chest was visible, wearing light clothes, across the shoulders on the top belted crosswise with blue orarions. Behind them, top to bottom on both sides of the rainbow a lot of the Cherubs, visible only as a head with wings.

And when the Saviour said, "I'm pure ", He began to speak to the children softly, but so loud, that it seemed audible to the entire universe: "Children, listen to My voice: perish all who fornicate, drunk, blaspheme, smoke a pipe, blaspheme God, rejecting the Cross. They do not were the Cross, they are ashamed of the Cross, Baptists, and other sects, all who use foul language.

And the righteous will rejoice and be glad". Speaking these words, the Saviour looked upon the children, and then fell silent and lowered his gaze down. Then the angels sang in chorus: " Holy God, Holy Strong, Holy Immortal". The words "Holy God," sang the angelic choir right, the words " Immortal " sang all together, sang well, that can't be expressed.

When the angels finished singing, the Saviour turned His Holy gaze on the children and began to speak: "Children, a lot of people in the world, but not all of them are Mine, I direct them, but they retreated from Me, they are controlled by the unclean spirit, whom fall under voluntarily. In My cathedral two coup, the priests coup leaders lead people to destruction, but the righteous priests lead in the Kingdom of God.

Then the Saviour said, "Children, can you see me? Look good on Me, so My image was in your memory, but to remember, your family to the seventh generation. Go to My priest and tell him to serve the night service and Liturgy!"

Here the angels sang: "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour". And "Secretly forming" singing; and "we praise Thee, we thank Thee, Lord," and the angels sang a lot of songs.

Then again the heavens unfolded, and the Lord again with His Heavenly Powers said, "Woe be to the bishops of the Ukrainians, the revivalists, they will not be forgiven, but it will be a forgiveness to the laity, if they will repent, but the clergy will not forgive. But will punish severely because they joined heretics and began to rend the divine robe  on Me – My Holy Apostolic Church!

Before the antichrist I will send My angels from heaven that will seal My servants with My own seal. Who will have the Fear of God on his brow! You look at me better, not to be mistaken, do not be deceived and would not have signed in obedience to the antichrist. He despised will work wonders so cleverly and skillfully through the magic and tricks that this will not be noticeable for this world. Appears in this appearance as I come to you, but he is afraid of the Cross and will raise up persecution on the Cross.

You kids, you preach what I told you. Don't be afraid of anyone, although you will be persecuted, put in prison. Do not fear, pass on to the world, from one to another – such will be the reward in My Kingdom, that the world was all warned and will not be lured swayed by the deceiver. In advance I warn the world that the deceiver will come.

With such a trick will work wonders, that would move the lights from the heaven and all will be frightened, will fly through the air like a bird. First, he will be peace-loving, will stand up for the poor, will help the weak, he will be giving an abundant help, and by this he will deceive those who believe in God. Everyone will love him and obey, and believe him, but this will be allowed by God as an ordeals for a short time. You convince the world, as far as possible, not to take any seals, did not sign.

With the advent of the antichrist there will come a time that they will ask for death, and will not find it, in the case of crop failure there will be a famine. The bread and all the goods will be in his hands, without his seal anything will not be issued to anybody. For the sins of the world and retreat from Me will close the sky for three years will not give rain on the land, and it will be so hot that the springs and rivers will dry up.

People will go round, will run from West to East, look for the harvest, and nowhere will find it: anywhere will be heat and pestilence. The antichrist will issue the order from city to city, from village to village not to pass, not to worn the Cross, not to cross oneself, not to preach the Word of God. Crosses from churches to remove, service in the churches to cease, and to arrange there theatres and other impious (godless) entertainments. Then brother will not love his brother, and will be put to death, and the bloodshed will be among relatives.

Who will endure for My sake - will be saved, but who repudiate Me, will take the seal of antichrist, that I will not forgive neither in this nor in the next life.

You need to be careful; many false Christs will appear that will invite: "Come, we have Christ." Do not believe! The wolves will appear in sheep's clothing, and all of these catchers will go into perdition. The Churches, except Pochayiv, all will be closed. Wishing to live in monasteries will not be allowed, monasteries will be dispersed, - such people let go through, I will intercede for them, for their patience I will clothed them in My garments and in the omnipotence of My Jerusalem!

Молитва от антихриста (Молитва преподобного Анатолия Оптинского (Потапова)

Избави мя, Господи, от обольщения близ грядущего богомерзкого и злохитрого антихриста, и укрый мя от коварных сетей его в сокровенной пустыне Твоего спасения. Даждь ми, Господи, крепость и мужество твердого исповедания Имени Твоего Святого, да не отступлю страха ради диавольского, да не отрекуся от Тебе, Спасителя и Искупителя моего, от святыя Твоея Церкве. Но даждь ми, Господи, день и ночь плач и слезы о гресех моих и пощади мя, Господи, в час Страшного Суда Твоего. Аминь.
