“And he sent them (the holy apostles) preach the Kingdom of God"() . This time only in Palestine, and then throughout the universe. The sermon that began then has not stopped to this day. Every day we hear what was delivered by the holy apostles from the presence of the Lord in the Holy Gospel and the epistles of the apostles. Time makes no difference: we hear the holy apostles and the Lord Himself as if they were before us, and the power that acted in them still acts in the Church of God. The Lord does not deprive anyone of the believers of anything: what the first had, the last also have. Faith has always contained it and still does.
But super-wisdom came and divided between the present and the original. A great abyss seemed to him, his head was spinning, his eyes were clouded, and the Lord with the holy apostles plunged into darkness, which seems impenetrable to him. And serve him right: let him reap the fruits of his sowing; in him there is only the collapse of the spirit. That it is definitely mired in darkness and does not see the light, consciousness in this cannot but be recognized as sincere - but who is to blame? It has deceived itself and continues to deceive itself.
Until now, it has not yet said anything such that it would be possible not to consider the words of the Scriptures of the New Testament as the true word of the holy apostles and the Lord Himself. Only tirelessly screams: "I do not see, I do not see." - We believe, we believe that you do not see! But stop emitting fog from yourself - the atmosphere around you will ventilate, then the light of God, perhaps, will appear and you will see something. “But it’s the same as stopping me from being me.” - What a disaster! Well, stop it; others will be calmer. - "No. I am determined to be until the end of the age, "let the most skillful appear." I began in the first created mind, even before this visible world, and while the world stands, I will rush like a whirlwind along the paths of truth and raise dust against it like a column. “But you’re only clouding yourself, and it’s light all around. - “No, I’ll powder someone’s eyes; and if not, then let them know what I am. I will not be silent, and you will never be able to stop my mouth with your truth. - Who does not know this? Everyone knows that your first title "darkness" - stubbornly standing on its own, despite any evidence that exposes your deceit. You are blasphemy against the Holy Spirit; so wait for yourself the execution of the sentence already determined for this by the Lord.
According to the calendar, on August 22, name days can be celebrated by those who, at baptism, received such feminine and male names like Arina, Irina, Maria, Alexey, Anton, Grigory, Dmitry, Makar and some others.
Therefore, when choosing the most suitable male and female names for boys and girls born today, preference should be given to the above so that the birthday people named after the Guardian Angel grow up under his auspices.
However, it must be remembered that on August 22 at church calendar for 2019 is marked as the day of veneration of the memory of the Martyr Margarita (Gunaronulo).
Therefore, the most important name days are celebrated today by those who were named after her.
This name will also become the most suitable for the baptism of girls who are born on this day. It will become a real talisman for them and will help them inherit the best features from the Guardian Angel.
So, Margaritas celebrating their name day today are endowed with a strong character, they are kind and disinterested. They are distinguished by high intelligence, resourcefulness and independence.
Margarita was of Greek origin, but lived in the capital of Ukraine, where her spiritual mentor was the rector St. George's Church. At the age of fifty-five, Margarita took monastic vows.
Since then, she settled in a monastery founded in the Moscow region by the old count family of the Orlov-Davydovs. The abbess of this monastery was one of the countesses of this family.
Almost immediately, Margarita, in a solemn atmosphere, in the presence of the sister of the Russian tsarina, was elevated to abbess and appointed abbess of the Ilyinsky monastery. Princess Elizabeth Feodorovna highly appreciated her moral qualities.
Spending time in strict fasting, deprivation and prayer, Margarita established the same order in the monastery, did a lot to equip it, became a faithful adviser and mentor for its inhabitants.
When the Reds came to power, the abbess in every possible way protected the monastery from their encroachments, supported those who opposed the new atheistic regime. For which she was shot among hundreds of other residents of Menzelinsk.
