There are two readings today, one of which is devoted to Reverends.

(1 Thess. V, 14-23)

Various teachings were read from the daily Apostle. Small comments.

Always rejoice – to the grace of God first of all, which shines in joy, comforts in sadness, when a person makes a mistake, it guides and leads to repentance.

Pray without ceasing — longing for God and turning to Him, at least openness — is already a prayer of the spirit, but it is necessary to set them to fill one's psychics and mind.

In everything give thanks – in different circumstances. Not for everything, but in everything. One cannot, for example, be grateful to God for sin, nor can be to people for it.

to quench the spirit means to stop longing for God, not to listen to the voice of conscience, to forget good restraint.

Paul clearly names the spirit, the soul, and the body. A difficult question, due to lack of space, I will leave it (God, help!) for later.

By living like this, we can preserve the fullness of life, peace in God.

(Luke XVII, 3-10)

Various teachings were read from the regular Gospel: about forgiveness (non-malevolence, meekness (кротости) as a virtue), the power of faith (see: https://oleksandr-zhabenko.github.io/en/PowerOfHuman.html), about the fact that we should creatively fulfill the Gospel, not taking credit for it, but rejoicing in God's mercy and generosity to us and others. Because the main in life is God, Who gives those favors and generosity. See also:
