Father Andrey, your blessing. I believe in our Lord Jesus Christ but currently, I don’t go to church, I don’t pray in the morning and the evening. I haven’t confessed nor taken communion for a very long time. I commit a lot of sins. My soul yearns for God but in reality, I can’t even go to church. What can I do about it?
What do I do if my relatives do not share my enthusiasm about God and the Church?
I suffer from despair… How do I brace up and get to church?
What should we be thinking about when we approach the Crucifix located in the centre of a church during the Veneration of the Cross Week?
