Жизнь есть блаженство
Machine translation from the original · Show original
Life is bliss. These words may seem strange. How can life be called bliss if there are failures, disappointments, and disappointments at every step? How much grief people endure! Life, some say, is work, and often thankless work - what kind of bliss is there?
Life will become blessed for us when we learn to fulfill the commandments of Christ and love Christ. Then we will live joyfully, joyfully endure the sorrows that come our way, and ahead of us the Sun of Truth will shine with light - the Lord, to whom we rush. All Gospel commandments begin with the word “blessed”: blessed are the meek..., blessed are the merciful..., blessed are the peacemakers... (Matthew 5: 3-12).
From this it follows as a truth that fulfilling the commandments brings people the highest happiness. The history of Christian martyrs confirms this with particular clarity. Whatever torment they endured, whatever torture they were subjected to, all hell rose up against them... and the martyrs rejoiced.
