Contest for Easter Joy: Tips from Fr. Andrey
Dear Friends, during Holy Week we stay focused on Christ and His suffering. At the same time, we are anticipating the coming Feast of feasts and the Triumph of all triumphs — the Great and Holy Pascha of the Lord.
Easter Day is followed by Bright Week, during which all divine services follow the order of the Paschal Liturgy. We invite you to send us your prayer requests for the entire Bright Week from Easter Day through St. Thomas Sunday. To do this, please click on the link below.
Sometimes temptations come during Easter. Archimandrite Sophrony (Sakharov), who was recently canonised, used to say: “Weeping about ourselves and our sins during Lent is more or less in our nature, but overcoming this sin-infected nature, conquering our ego and rejoicing is much more difficult.”
In our new video article, the confessor of our convent, Archpriest Andrey Lemeshonok, shares his experience on this.

May the light of the Resurrection always warm your heart and brighten the souls of your loved ones.
