Waiting for love

Sermon by Jacob Vorontsov about peace in the heart

In the mouths of the hierarchs, love is replaced by corporate interests. The Inquisition is being revived - believers write denunciations against each other, justifying violence. Where is the peace?

Hieromonk Jacob Vorontsov, in a Sunday sermon on the YouTube channel of Novaya Gazeta, suggests re-reading the familiar parable of the prodigal son. In it, God does not even humiliate the lost, does not break his will. Does not negate human dignity. This is the lesson of love, to which we can always return, which will always accept us. You just need to remember about her - then peace will come.

Father Jacob is a priest and historian of the Church in Kazakhstan, author of books. Because of his peacekeeping position, he was deprived of the right to serve. Continues to be persecuted.
