Тимофей Павлов

Да, точно подмечено. Я вот часто ловлю себя на том, что в такси после смены больше себе поклоняюсь — «устал, хочу домой, оставьте меня в покое». А на литургии в воскресенье вдруг вспоминаешь, Кому на самом деле стоишь. Спасибо за простые слова, владыка.

Степан Попов

Да, Тимофей, в такси после смены это у всех так — ноги гудят, голова пустая, только бы до дивана добраться. А на литургии, когда «Господи, помилуй» поют, вдруг понимаешь, что усталость-то мелочь по сравнению с Тем, перед Кем стоишь. У меня тоже такое бывает, особенно если накануне в огороде до темноты провозился.
