The word of God is alive and life-giving, and it continues to be proclaimed through the voices of the clergy of Saint Elisabeth Convent in Minsk. On this page you will find a collection of sermons, reflections, and spiritual talks delivered by our priests — words born from prayer, pastoral care, and the experience of living faith.
The sermons of Archpriest Andrey Lemeshonok, the Convent’s spiritual father, occupy a special place. With the simplicity of the Gospel and the depth of pastoral wisdom, Father Andrey addresses the most essential questions of human life: how to draw closer to God, how to forgive, how to endure trials, and how to find joy in Christ.
Other clergy of the Convent also share their thoughts and testimonies. Their homilies shed light on the meaning of the feasts of the Church, the lives of the saints, and the spiritual lessons hidden in the daily readings of Holy Scripture. Each sermon is not only an explanation of the Word, but also a call to action — an invitation to repentance, prayer, and renewal of the heart.
Listening to or reading these sermons, one can discover that the Gospel is not a distant story of the past, but a living reality that speaks directly to our time. Through them, the faithful are reminded that God is near, that His mercy is greater than any weakness, and that every person is called to holiness.
The page is regularly updated with new sermons, allowing visitors to return again and again for inspiration and guidance. For many, these words have become a source of strength during trials, a support in doubts, and a reminder of the inexhaustible love of Christ.
We invite you to explore this collection of sermons, to listen with an open heart, and to allow the Word of God, spoken through His servants, to bring light, peace, and consolation into your life.

The Divine Providence is our path to the Kingdom of Heaven. A man was created for the service of love, which is the service of the angels, but the earth has torn human beings apart from Heaven and shackled them to its surface. Human beings have…
In our time, there is no open opposition to faith, but many are at risk of abandoning God in favour of the worldly comforts and riches. There is a chance for us to become God’s enemies by being indifferent and neglectful. By becoming one with…
The Apostle Peter had been fishing all night and had not caught anything. However, when the Saviour told him to cast the net again, he obeyed, and he pulled out more fish than he could carry. Such is our life: we do something, we sweat, we are…
