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 people who do not know God will live different lives, which may even be quite exciting and filled with all sorts of pleasures. Their life journeys, however, will have the same endpoint – being buried in a grave and falling into oblivion.
