Recently, not because of, but rather in spite of the development of mass culture, we are witnessing a phenomenon where many different people are more attracted to the traditional spiritual activities.Russian Orthodox Church at the present stage it conformed to the traditional concept of the Orthodox missionary activity.The basic idea - the preaching of the gospel throughout the world, God calls people to hear their immortal souls.Inyim words, the content of the spiritual work of the Church is reduced to the adoption of the parishioners of the gospel with all my being.After all, the only way a man given to sense the presence of God.Next to happen spiritualization of the whole society, to have returned to the soul God has become "the bread of life."
If we turn to the sources, the mission it was originally taken directly to the apostles, so it is still referred to as apostolic.Its source is the Holy Trinity.It is implemented through the message of God the Father, his only begotten son, Jesus Christ and the blessings of revelation to the Apostles.
preaching of the Church, as well as prayer, should not stop "until the end of the century."Thus spiritual activity is regulated by the ROC on terms of its implementation.This eschatology interconnects closely the spiritual work of the Church with the world, consistently and steadily sanctification and renewal of the surrounding of the macrocosm, including a human ("Field - is the world ').The field seems a missionary space combat with a shadow of light.It is a field, not a smooth, perfect.On the contrary, there sprouted weeds - the sons of the evil one.
At the turn of the third millennium, millions of people were freed from the shackles of godless ideologies.Before the Russian Orthodox Church for the first 800 years of existence, it became necessary to Universal Sermon on such a scale.This paradoxical situation can be interpreted as a second Christianization.At the same time the Church perceives welcome national culture, their works are not contrary to the Faith, transforming them in his holiness means of salvation.In this regard, relevant comparison of a preacher with a sower throwing grains of faith and pull up the weeds.
Even in 1918, St.Tikhon, Patriarch of Constantinople wrote Herman V on crops in the hearts of the Russian people of hostility, inflamed the hearts of the people of the spirit of envy and pride, on the plantations in these godless thoughts of settling graceless life.
recall one of the names of the evil one - corrupt meanings.So if it is not the task of God to transform the world into a concentration spiritually devastated people deprived of the purpose of life?"Meaningful" monologues politicians do not solve the problem, empty language monologues day "stars" can only confuse the common man, and as a result society should deprive dynamics.Or glamor, disorienting in life to young people, knocking them shiny pacifier instead of real values.After all, it is being paid and forcibly introduced into our consciousness!
What forms of mental activity are known to us?Undoubtedly, the main form is associated with religion.Laying mission to the Russian Orthodox Church is every kind promote early activation of unity of society and its spiritual and moral purification through the testimony of the truth.Pay close attention to the Christianization of national cultures, to initiate social reforms to protect the socially vulnerable population.
Another form of spiritual life is the work of creative people working in the field of culture, their creativity.A special form of spirituality is inspired attitude to his profession, to help people.Thinking people unconsciously throw dead ends of spirituality and seek constructive.
real paradox of this spiritual modern society is the recognition of adults Christian foundations of Russia, religious characteristics of the national culture, but they are not parishioners.So whether it was in past centuries?The spiritual work of the Church is precisely aimed at restoring this continuity, restore spiritual and emotional wholeness parishioners.
In the future spiritual activities of all people should be immutable rule of existence of society.Russia will return to the basics of their spirituality.Let us remember the call of St.Peter God to allow approach to the Creator of the water.As the allegory is to be understood?After all, the gospel is written not only for us, but about us.It is given to us not just for leisure reading, and to understand that we Christians, who took his soul God, together with faith will be given great power to build and heal.Recall from the Gospel of Mark the word of God that believers will be given all that they ask for in prayer.
