The Order of Victory was the Higher Military Order and was intended for awarding the highest command staff Soviet army For the successful carrying out of one or several fronts of large-scale combat operations, as a result of which the situation has radically changed in favor of the Soviet army. In addition, the names of the cavaliers of the Order, in a special difference, were entered into a specially established memorial plaque.

In the name of the Father, and Son, and the Holy Spirit!

Dear brothers and sisters, surviving the events of the present week, we can immerse yourself at the state of the soul, which implies the need for a Christian at least to join the event, having a relation to the feat of God for people.

The path of love involves the willingness of a person to learn the most complex art, the skill in which the Lord himself showed, having come to the ground, to lift himself to the human body, having enjoyed the flesh and then giving it to the crucifix for the sins of human sins, which is an example of great humility. In this self-esteem, the Lord offers an amazing depth of his mercy and the willingness to show how many ways exist in the heavenly kingdom.

With his preachtime hands, he washes his feet to students, people of a low profession, his followers designed to apostolic ministry. Calling them with himself on a special feast, on the meal, where the first Eucharist is performed, he, Netua, but loving a student who betrays him, until the last moment wants to save him, but the soul that moved away from God, with difficulty returns to his Savior. Here the tragedy of the student, which in the speed is an example of despair, bringing to suicide. Next, we see an example of the Apostle Peter, who claims that it will not be renounced, but then it makes it possible. And each of us in his life, unfortunately, repeats his way, expressing one thing, and what is another. Then the garde sounds prayer in the Gethsemane garden. The Lord creates students three times to joint moles, but the apostles are sleeping ... And the Savior asks the Father to give him the mercy that he must suffer.

It should be understood that we only partly open what we can accommodate, only a part of the pain and suffering. We are talking about the dialogue of the Lord within himself. After all, the Savior refers to God to the Father, who is in it. This is one of the deepest secrets of theology when it comes to the Holy Trinity. But at the same time, these words apply to us an example of what we must perform in situations of special tension and tests: must call God to help, adding at the same time: "Let Will will be!".

Then we hear about betrayal, which makes a student, the Lobsaya Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. What was it necessary for? It was a sign. The fact is that after the communion of the apostles transformed and became so similar to the Savior, it was difficult to determine who among these people their teacher. The Apostle Judas shows on Jesus, and it is arrested. And here the mercy is revealed when the Lord asks to remove the knife, saying that the one who came with a knife or a sword would die. There is also an external, and the inner component of the life of a Christian, who is assessed as a weapon of prayer, humility and readiness to sacrifice themselves. We have an amazing door, difficult to pass, but the only possible for the salvation of our soul.

We will try, dear brothers and sisters, be attentive to the words as much as possible in our lives. We will learn from the art of following Christ, ready to start with a small one, in determination to show their efforts in the carry of your cross. Amen!
