Father, what would you like to wish first of all for the salvation of a person in the world?

Father, what would you like to wish first of all for the salvation of a person in the world?

- So that no one slanders or offends us. It is said: do not do to you what you do not want done to you. As you want others to do to you, so do you. And the Lord Himself says: do not do to others what you do not want done to you.

If we had at least this commandment of the Lord, we would be much calmer. Of course, our strength and power come from the grace of God, from our prayer. And all this ultimately comes down to ensuring that our Motherland rises morally and economically, that people are spiritually educated, that the school rises to a high level of piety, that people understand what conscience is, that they understand what it means to have the fear of God - that there is a Lord, there is a righteous judge, and nothing will be hidden from God.  We are inevitably faced with eternity. Whether we want it or not, we will not go anywhere from what is - from our future endless life. It is obvious to every thinking person that there is God, the Creator of our planet, our world. And this is the key to our happiness, our well-being.
