A person goes wherever he goes, but then he always returns home. So a Christian, no matter who he is, noble or simple, rich or poor, learned or ignorant, wherever he is, whatever position he holds in society, whatever he does, must remember that he is not at home, but on a journey, on a journey and must return home - to his father, to his mother, to his older brothers and sisters; and this house is Heaven, father is God, mother is the Most Pure Mother of God, older brothers and sisters are Angels and holy people of God; that all earthly duties and affairs are the essence of divisions 30 and the real work is the salvation of the soul, the fulfillment of the commandments of Christ, the purification of the heart (7). The world is home. The builder and owner of this house, the Creator and Father of the Christian people living in it is God. The mother in this house is the Blessed Virgin Mary. Walk always in the presence of your Father, in love and obedience to Him; equally in the presence of our common Mother, the Most Holy Theotokos, in holy love, reverence and obedience to Her (7). Whoever built a house for himself should, by all rights, live in it. We are the houses of our Creator; He created us for Himself, for He did everything for His own sake; He must live in us, and not the devil, this murderer, thief, predator, this deceiver. God! Come and dwell in us (prayer to the Holy Spirit). “We will come to him and make our abode with him” (John 14:23). “Do you not know that you are the church of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Cor. 3:16) (7). You live in the house of God - in this beautiful world - tuna 31 and you use all the gifts of God’s goodness and generosity, given through nature, also to tuna; you live in the house of God - in the Church, or in the community of those who are being saved, and you use all the gifts of grace for your salvation; and do not hesitate to do good to the brethren as much as you can; be kind even to the ungrateful and evil, so that you may be a son of the Heavenly Father (cf. Luke 6:35). Welcome everyone into your home willingly, knowing that you yourself live freely in the house of God - in this universe, and in the spiritual house of God - the Church, preparing you for eternal life; let everyone partake of your meal with joy and tuna, remembering that you freely eat daily from the Lord’s meal - His Most Pure Body and His Blood (7). Each Christian home represents an infinitely great house - the universe, heaven and earth, in which the Lord dwells. Therefore, in every Christian home you see images of the Savior and the Mother of God, heeding the prayers of those living in the house and resorting to Them (7). We are all children of the Heavenly Father, strangers and strangers in His earthly house. We live in this house, but we don’t know when the Heavenly Father will call us to appear before His face, but it is certain that He will. Meanwhile, while waiting for the call, we use His earthly gifts, which He, as “the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort” (2 Cor. 1:3), gives “to us everything richly for our enjoyment” (1 Tim. 6:17). At the same time, we hear in our hearts and in His holy word His voice: in My earthly house it is good for you, and in that heavenly one it will be even better, therefore use My earthly blessings lawfully, moderately, prudently and with gratitude. And do not forget, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man” (1 Cor. 2:9), what I have prepared for those who love Me in the heavenly house, and this is for endless ages (8).
