What is there someone says or was said, it was, our dream is precisely that people who come to the church, catholic ones come to our churches, so that they understand how we address them, and so that we can also understand them, what they expect from us, here maybe this is an amendment somewhere to our culture, to our foundations, traditions, to our morality, we even see this going on on the internet now, some, for example, like the statement that the Catholic Church can support samesex marriage, others are absolutely against it. Here we can also take into account our belarusian mentality. Each society has its own, well, developments, its own tradition. Our home is our home, naturally, the decoration of the church, our church, is different from the decoration in africa, america or asia, we have our own spirit, our mentality, but the words of jesus christ , they are the same, we are trying so that in our Catholic Church in belarus people can pray freely, with dignity, as they say , to pray with the heart, we are a church with the people. Again, we hear from the west that catholics in belarus are oppressed, your ministry, over the years, it is the same as the independence of belarus, you can also draw conclusions. Everything can be learned through comparisons, lets take the number of priests, 1989, thats a small number, somewhere around 50 priests. Compare with today, these are us, priests, plus or minus there are about 500 people, churches, there are also a lot of shrines, not only churches, but these are also monastic people, what was, what is, where can i insert words here and is being persecuted, we are developing, how many churches were built during the years of independence, is there such a figure . About 100, probably a lot of shrines, which , like this, has its own very rich history, although it also. Was different in different years, and after all, churches were revived and are being revived . Well, of course, of course, those temples that were introduced by other organizations are there sports or others, or in general they were, say, closed, no human foot had ever set foot there, they opened again, people came in , made repairs, did restoration, and we are waiting for this work in babruisk, and there is also in the mogilev region, we are working on it, there is still more is this a place of some kind of secret . How here during the restoration such amazing frescoes behind one icon were discovered and they wanted to restore this icon, and decided to remove it, they remove it, and there is another icon, even older, but apparently maybe they didnt have the time or finances to restore it, and so we waited until this moment and now it is being restored again, lets say, not only will it surprise, but it will attract a person with its beauty to the true path to god, we are one people. Belarusians, in your opinion, who benefits today from artificially dividing us into catholics and Orthodox Christians . By this i generally mean some kind of division by nationality rather than by religious preferences. Church society consists of families, for example, even in my environment there are families in which husband and wife are of different nationalities, different religions, even there are those who dont believe, they also have children, everything is fine with them, why . They are the leadership. Love, love first of all, we invite those who do not support our opinion to come, return to their fathers house, see then give their definition and their opinion of how things are really happening here, and how things are with us today. We can say that those who are trying to artificially divide us are more likely pursuing some kind of political interests, but rather than those who are doing this, trying to divide us, they are not doing so. In the gospel, when we have big holidays, events, symposiums, you can see that we have not only catholics present, and representatives, and the main representatives of others. Had hospitals, shelters, canteens for the poor, but times are changing, and this is what, say, the state does, it does it well, people, lets say, dont need this, but there are other aspects of life, there are other life situations where our presence as believers, as people, it is expected, education of patriotism, this is also about today you, everyone a person who comes to church comes to this as a citizen of one country or another , of what we call a small homeland, and we can talk a lot about a small homeland, we must also remember, naturally, that we need to educate those people who know how, love, and pray , they know, they understand, but they also know how to defend their interests, defend their opinions, love for their homeland, moral education, demographic issues, there are some projects that are being carried out. The truth of our teachings, family, children, love for new life, we understand every life, every born new life as a gift from god. Our Catholic Church teaches a person to teach family, namely to accept every gift of life, all these moral values, all these values, this is our battlefield. How to stay in tune with young people today . There is a saying that you need to swim to the depths. You have to be with them, you have to listen to them, yes, we also have youth days , we invite young people, not only to prayer , as they say on hikes, they are pilgrims, we go for several days, we talk together, we have some conversations together, well and we are also looking for ways exit, our young priests, monastics, and not only, they run their own channels there, tiktoks, its all there, we started talking about restoration, of course, we are all watching with trepidation the fate of the butslovskaya shrine, there is a chance, hope that it will be possible to restore, as it was before, what happened there, this fire, this disaster, it destroyed a lot, but here i would also like to thank all the rescuers, all the services that every person who touched this particular shrine in that difficult time, the time has come to restore it, and not only myself. The roof, the roof, what was burned, but we need to look at the shrine, also like that, for the future, what else can be there, well, to open, as you said, to reveal some kind of secret, maybe somewhere there is something, and there are also words of gratitude for our president , alexander grigorievich, who you probably heard on television, this was said, to follow up, to help, the temporary roof is already covered, the walls are drying, they are under construction. Work on the project and not only the shrine itself, but also the building and territory, so that it really there was such a zest that people could come there to pray and relax. The nestvezh church has already opened its doors to tourists. The work continues for another year or two, it will appear in full glory before our eyes, people come and pray, and as for tourists, too, but there they are already these restoration organizations, as they say, approach this with trepidation, so they also have great , lets say, and gratitude not only from us, but i think that i will, i will express the opinion and gratitude of the whole society, does it often happen in our small homeland . When my parents lived, when my mother especially lived, but i traveled very often , always returning to my small homeland , it inspires, it lights us up, it is a person who returns to others, i very often also to my parishioners, namely. In the villages, but not i just remember and ask them, and i have such a wish for them, i say that in your house, your fathers house, the light and life will not go out, so that you can return precisely at your own risk, why do you like the path that you chose in your youth . The words of jesus christ follow me, they sounded then, they today they also sound, sometimes they sound, we hear them with our hearts, and sometimes they too, sound in the words of another person, and this is in my life , it was such a priest, father kazimiri is a sesuit, once upon a time when i was young, i was 13 years old there, he asked, said, do you want to go, how important in our lives is that spiritual mentor, confessor, that person who , well, lets say, will give a hand, that path that i have chosen, yes, its mine, it seems to me so that she is mine, but by ours, by our deeds, by our actions, of course, people judge this, but but it is also important on this journey, for every person, one or the other, lets say that we do not change who we went with on the journey for what we met along the way, because otherwise you rub both the guide and the goal and you will not reach, very there are a lot of spectators, they even ask us how the metropolitan lives, and where he lives, and does he have enough free time to do Something Interesting outside of work, maybe he has a hobby, i know that you sing well , we dont have a set working day, talk about it, but sometimes yes sometimes its longer and but as they say, when they ask me why i dont go on vacation, i answer a little jokingly, but i dont strain myself, the archdiocese is very large , there are two regions, there are many parishes, there are many people, we still need to get to know them, we are on the road very often, and this may even be good, because we experience beauty and become passionate about people, and new regions, new views, ill say. Blue lakes, this is all ours, this is all dear , a hobby in my house, in my family, we sang very often, in the morning, when i was little, i woke up precisely to the singing of my father, somehow it came into play, but i also love to sing folk songs, why, because they are lively , or maybe just a line, there is one folk song about mom, i added one more column, one verse, that is, you also write poetry, well, no, well, to say there that i write poetry, but that is, there are moments when the words come together, yes, yes, then i immediately sat down with one , so to speak, inspiration, i wrote these words, i have such a small hope that this song will be heard by a choir or a Famous Artist of belarus, my dear mother, you didnt sleep at first, when i was in the world, i often joked around, and in the memory of the house, you were hand embroidered by you, the quartz of the gun, the charm and the bad luck. And as a keepsake in the house, you hand embroidered by you, quartz arms, charms, bad luck, i will spread the yago, kali sumna and mountain, akuna. The bastards, for the sake of the kingdom, have passed away, for the sake of matulinas hands, they have been asked by you for a long time, they are moving around, and for the sake of their father, for the sake of matulinas hands. Asked by you and your freedom, dancing dancing and the sersa svaygo, we are returning, we should be ready to return to our home, fathers, but again there, although i we sometimes dont even remember about our parents, we forget, its not enough that our parents were also waiting for us and allowed us to enter our fathers house, thank you for the interview, thank you, someone might hear something new, or think about it in their own.
