The rector of the Church of the Holy Martyrs Anthony, John and Eustathius of Vilensk visited Smorgon secondary school No. 3translated

Priest Mikhail Verokha invited 5th grade students to reflect on how our speech affects our lives. During the conversation, the children were shown the film “The Effect of Swearing on Human Health.”

Father Mikhail also told the children about the history of foul language, the interpretation of this concept in the Bible, and the spiritual consequences of uttering obscene words. The clergyman noted that in adolescence the problem of obscene language becomes especially acute, because the main thing in children’s and youth’s foul language is the desire to show themselves as an adult and a strong person. But few teenagers understand that foul language, like rudeness, is a mask and weapon of insecure people, which has a destructive effect on both the body and soul of the person swearing, and on the people around them.
