Суд же состоит в том, что свет пришел в мир; но люди более возлюбили тьму, нежели свет, потому что дела их были злы; ибо всякий, делающий злое, ненавидит свет и не идет к свету, чтобы не обличились дела его(с)
I want to share with you one funny thing
There is an altar-boy in our temle. Named Costik. He is fond of reading sermons by my beloved contemporary missionary Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom) of Sourozh. He does it so wondelfull way, with such a feeling, with such an enthusiasm, that everybody in out advent have steady assotiation that very priest with thatvery boy (he's about 20) and vice versa. Must say, when I read sermons & books by metr.Anthony, i always hear in my head Costik's voice.
So what...
Yesterday my sister in God Alexandra desided to watch a video sermon of methropolitan Anthony himself. He called me then with a shout "OH! It it not Costik at all Not Costik at all" We laughed in a half an hour about that )))) And decided to tell our Costik about our assosiations & our reaction on the video.

I wrote somewhere in that diary about that practice. Sometimes, altar boys say sermons themselves ) They repeat thoughts of Fathers of Church & famous priests, compile ideas... but speak so freely, that i like their sermons a lot. I think it's normal & wise to give seminarians such a prictice. Not only to read prays for Communion or to carry candles & thuribles =)
