On the night of December 31 to January 1, His Holiness Kirill served a New Year's prayer service. In his address to the worshippers, the bishop said:
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
According to established tradition, on New Year's Eve we perform a prayer service, asking the Lord for a blessing for the coming year. It is natural for a person at these moments to think about what happened in the past - at that moment when an invisible symbolic line is crossed that separates one year of God's goodness from another. And, remembering everything that happened to us, to our country, to all of historical Russia, remembering what happened to the human race, and realizing that in the past year there was a lot of good, but also a lot of hard and even terrible things, we nevertheless must give back thanksgiving to the Lord. We are alive, healthy, and even those who may not be healthy enough today should still thank the Lord that by His grace we have reached the limit of 2013 and are stretching into the next year.
Last year we celebrated the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus'. This is a very special anniversary, which we celebrated together with the entirety of world Orthodoxy in all the fraternal countries that exist in the vastness of historical Rus'. The celebration in Moscow, Kyiv and Minsk, which brought together many, many thousands of people, helped us once again realize our common involvement in the entire thousand-year history of the Church and our Fatherland. This celebration also helped us to see the hand of God, who led and is leading our peoples, despite many difficulties and many obstacles, leading us forward along the only path He knows.
Last year we also celebrated the 400th anniversary of the accession to the throne of Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov. We paid tribute to the past, we analyzed this past, connecting it with the present and drawing from the past wisdom, knowledge, and experience that was associated with many glorious deeds committed during the reign of the Romanov dynasty.
Monument "Millennium of Russia" in Novgorod. A very good angle: the monument was shot against the backdrop of the temple.
Last year a Council of Bishops took place, which was of great importance in the life of our Church. He approved with his authority the emergence of new dioceses, the creation of metropolises, which contributes - and we can already safely say about this - to strengthening the spiritual foundations of the life of our people, the development of many church ministries that are so necessary for a modern believer.
Bishops at the Patriarchal New Year's prayer service
By the grace of God, last year I took a trip to the People's Republic of China. This is the first visit in the history of China by the head of the Church and the first meeting in the history of China between the head of the Church and the leader of this country. We very much hope that the good relations that exist and develop today between Russia and China will, among other things, contribute to the development of the life of the Chinese Autonomous Orthodox Church. We pray that Chinese clergy will once again perform services in the churches of China and that the Orthodox faith will be strengthened in the life of the great people who are our neighbors and with whom we now maintain the best relations.
There were many other events, including difficult events. We need to remember the disaster that befell the Far East, the people who courageously resisted the elements, the help that our people provided to their brothers and sisters grieving from this grave natural disaster. This misfortune stirred the hearts of many and sent people on the path of doing good deeds.
We cannot help but recall the saddest events associated with the end of the past year - the terrorist attacks in Pyatigorsk and Volgograd. By evil human will, completely innocent people lost their lives. We understand that all this is being done to disorient our people, to frighten them, to make them unable to act in solidarity. We understand that, in a sense, a war is being waged against our country, our people, without a formal declaration. The force and energy with which illegal acts are committed today indicates that these are not separate, unrelated events, but that there is a certain plan.
The consequences of the terrorist attacks in Stalingrad were more than 30 human deaths....
We believe that this plan will not come true. Certain forces are encroaching on the country, on the people who are under the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos. We have gone through more terrible trials in our history - internecine warfare and terrible wars; and an example of the heroism of our people is the city in which the last two terrorist atrocities were committed.
We remember everything that happened to us. We cannot, of course, ignore the recent events in Ukraine. We believe and hope that everything that is happening today in this fraternal country, which is part of the heritage of historical Rus', will not shake our common spiritual unity and will not become a challenge that destroys the unity of our Church. We believe and hope that the fraternal relations between Russians and Ukrainians will improve and develop, and the fruit of these relations will be the prosperity of life in both countries.
We face an unknown future. Scientists are trying to predict the development of events, futurologists describe the distant future, but no one really knows what it will be like, because the Lord is the Lord of history, in His hand is this historical process, in which people and each of us are participants. We know for sure that life is where God is. We know for sure that death is where there is no God. And therefore, in order to have hope for the future, we must rely first of all on the Divine law, which is above all human laws, subordinate human laws to this moral Divine law, live in accordance with it, transform our mind and our heart. Then we will have a clear, peaceful and prosperous prospect for life, because where God is, there is love, there is peace, there is long-suffering, there is mercy, there is a manifestation of the kindest human feelings. In order for these feelings to become our feelings, we must bow our heads before the greatness of God and, in the simplicity of our hearts, accept His will and His law.
Patriarch Kirill: “We know for sure that death is where there is no God. And therefore, in order to have hope for the future,
we must rely first of all on Divine law."
Now we will perform a prayer service. Of course, let us mentally remember all those and everything that was dear to us in the past year. And let us all pray together before the face of God in the simplicity of our hearts for the coming year of God’s goodness. We believe that the Lord will hear our prayer and incline His mercy to our Fatherland, to all historical Rus', to our peoples and to each of us. May His mercy pour out upon us all, strengthening each one in his journey along the path of life. Amen.
According to established tradition, on the eve of the New Year, a New Year's prayer service is held in the churches of the Russian Orthodox Church. According to the Church Charter, the year begins on September 1 according to the old style, but since the whole people, the whole country and the whole world enter the new year on January 1, the Church offers special prayers at this time for the coming year.
Bishop Kirill bids farewell to those praying for the New Year
We thank God for all the mercies that were shown in the past year. There were not only mercies - there were also punishments, because a loving God, by punishing people, also through these punishments shows His care for man. Just as loving parents are sometimes forced to punish their children in order to prevent a greater misfortune, so God often stops us from committing greater sinful deeds by putting us through trials. This has to do with the life of an individual, the life of a country, and the life of the entire human race. It is enough to read the Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament, where it speaks so clearly about God’s providence - loving and punishing.
When we look to the future, we humanly certainly want the next year to be easier, better, more successful, and this is a legitimate, natural human desire for happiness and well-being. Today, many people do not connect this well-being with God. It seems to them that they and only they are the beginning and the end of everything that concerns them, that it depends only on a person whether he will be happy or unhappy, healthy or sick, successful or unsuccessful. But an unbiased look at history - not only at human history, but also at the history of one’s own life - can convince anyone that this is not so. We go through events in our lives, through trials, when none of our strength is enough to overcome them with dignity, to avoid trouble, to find what our soul strives for. And thinking people understand: what is impossible for man is possible for God (see Luke 18:27), for He Himself told us about this. Then we turn to the Lord and ask Him, and how often God hears our prayer! Again, it is impossible to prove this to people with hard hearts. But there is real proof of the power of human prayer, when those praying themselves receive an answer from God and testify that the power of God has been revealed to them, to their loved ones and relatives. As a matter of fact, the entire religious life of a person is based on this answer of God to our prayer - there would be no religious faith if there was no answer. They don’t go to a well for water where there is no water. They don’t turn to a person, knowing in advance that he won’t answer or help—no one wastes their time and energy on this. Would people really turn to God, would people, many of them, devote their lives to the Lord if they had not heard this answer?
Today, on New Year’s Eve, those who believe in the power of God have gathered here in this church. In all the churches of our land and beyond, many are praying today that the Lord would incline His mercy to all of us, making the coming summer the summer of His goodness. Let us also pray with strong faith for our family and friends, for ourselves, for physical and spiritual health, for well-being. Let us pray for our country, that by the grace of the Lord the unity of our people will be preserved, so that by joining forces, people can overcome the difficulties that the country is going through at the present time. Our Church will pray for all of historical Rus', because it is present in all the countries that make it up. We will pray that next year will be a year of peace for all the peoples of Holy Rus', that the Lord will preserve our Church in unity and peace, in spiritual strength, which alone is capable of fertilizing human life with the gift of the Holy Spirit. And we believe that the Lord, by His ineffable mercy, will incline His love and His good providence to all of us. Amen.
When preparing cards for the New Year, you go through dozens of New Year greetings - in poetry, in SMS, in prose. And all of them are superficial - Happy New Year, new happiness in your personal life and at work. We invite you to think a little about the upcoming New Year and read deep and wise words about the holiday. It is possible that they will help you write your real Happy New Year greetings!
Looking back at the past, we see how much we failed to accomplish during this year: due to powerlessness, forgetfulness, inertia, and our bad will. And before entering a new time, let us repent before God, admit our mistakes and collect life experience from last year that will allow us not to repeat them and not make other similar mistakes. The whole meaning of life is to love God, to love one’s neighbor, and for everything to be done only in the name of this love.
Happy New Year greetings from Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh
What is the most important time in life?
An old tale says that a certain wise man was asked: “What is the most important time in life? Who is the most significant person in your life? What is the most important thing to do?” And the answer was:
– The most important time in life is the present moment, because the past has flown away and the future has not yet risen; the most significant person in your life is the one who is now in front of you and to whom you can do good or evil; and the most important thing in life is in this moment, to give this person everything that can be given to him...
Let us enter the new year with this sense of responsibility and inspiration; let us enter this new year with the faith that the power of God is made perfect in weakness: in our weakness, as it was made perfect in the weakness of the saints, who were strong only by the power of God; Let us believe that all things are possible for us through the Lord Jesus who strengthens us...
And on the eve of the New Year, I would like to repeat the words spoken at the beginning of the war by King George VI to his people: “I asked the guard who stood at the door of the New Year:
-Give me light so that I can confidently enter safely into the unknown...
And he told me:
“Put your hand in the hand of God - it will be better for you than light, and more faithful than the known path”...
Let us also enter with such trust and such faith in New Year; and when we pray that the Lord bless him and us, we will turn our prayers to Saint Stephen of Sourozh, whose memory we commemorate now, on the first Sunday after the calendar day designated for the celebration of his memory; let him be that guard, that goalkeeper who will reveal the new year to us, who will enter it with us and bless us, so that, like him, we make this year a year of God’s will and grace.
There are many crooked paths left behind
We entered this year as one enters a boundless snowy plain: not a single spot, not a single trace, everything was snow-white. And when we look around, we see that we have laid many, many crooked paths. And we must repent of this before God, but repent creatively: not only to regret what was wrong, but having learned to enter the new year with new wisdom, with new understanding.
But besides this - how much bright and good there was in the past year, how much good people gave us, how much good God did to us! And before entering the new year, let us thank both God and people, bless those through whom so much bright and good things in life have come to us. The fruit of life, in the end, is only love and gratitude, joy and humility. Let us draw from the past year all the gratitude that we can extract from it, gratitude to the kind, gentle people who were merciful to us, and gratitude to God, and with this we will enter the new year.
The New Year is creeping before us again as an opportunity as yet untouched by anything. Let's bring inspiration into this year, let's enter this year in order to creatively walk the straight path throughout the year. Let's walk together, let's walk together, let's walk boldly and firmly. We will meet difficult things, and we will also meet joyful things: the Lord gives us both. Difficult - because it is the dark, bitter, painful that the Lord sends to us in order to bring light, joy, silence into it; and light - so that we too can join the light, be children of light.
Let us walk together, carefully, without forgetting each other, and then by the end of the year, when we look back, it will turn out that one straight path has been laid, that no one has fallen on the edge of the road, no one is forgotten, no one is bypassed, and that many have to our small community and through us - throughout the world - love, light, joy. Amen.
What is happiness?
When we celebrate the New Year, we greet each other with the words: “Happy New Year, happy new happiness!” And often we think of happiness only as material well-being, about affectionate, happy relationships in the family and with friends, and we forget that happiness can sometimes be demanding and strict. One Russian poet defined it this way:
What is happiness? On life's journey,
Where your duty tells you to go;
Don't know enemies, don't measure barriers -
Love, hope and believe.
And if we think this way about the happiness that we wish for ourselves and others, then we will see that the first thing that is offered to us is love. But love is both a jubilant joy and an ultimate feat. Just like jubilant joy lies in giving and receiving the most precious things from your loved one, and at the same time being ready to give your life for the loved and unloved. When I talk about the unloved, I think about those whom we do not love with natural love, but whom God loves so much that He gave His Only Begotten Son to die so that they could be saved.
Let’s think about what love means as rejoicing, love as a cross, and let’s enter the New Year with the intention of loving and hoping—hoping for everything. As the Apostle Paul says, love hopes for everything and believes in everything; love never fails. We hope for everything: for the correction of the person who hates us, and even for the correction of ourselves. He hopes that God will give us time to correct ourselves and will give others time to come to their senses and become a new person in the image of Jesus Christ who created him and saved him. And then we can say: yes, we believe - we believe in God’s love, we believe in the endless possibilities of every person, we believe that even we, in our weakness, in our unworthiness, are capable of being Christ’s disciples.
We are entering a new year. Looking back at the past year, we see so much terrible in the world and so much bitterness in the lives of many, many people, including ourselves. And so, entering this new year, let us bring to God sincere, heartfelt repentance for the fact that we turned out to be unworthy of His disciples. He loved us to death - and this was not enough to change our lives. And if you look at what the world was like during the last year or two thousand years, which have almost passed, it hurts! Think that in a little less than two thousand years, there have been about three thousand wars of some Christians against others, not to mention how much blood was shed by people who are not our same blood, not of the same faith. Did the Lord send us into the world for this purpose, or did He commission us to bring the Good News of new life? And now let’s think about what we did to God’s creation, how we disfigured the earth, how we desecrated it, how we disfigured all human relationships - both personal and public.
Looking at the past year, I think with pain in my heart about how I turned out to be a traitor to Christ, how I turned out to be a traitor before each of you and all of you and many, many other people. I ask you, pray that the Lord will give me time and shake my soul into repentance, and that this will happen to each of us, that each of us will be reborn. On the one hand, from horrors about the past, on the other hand, from rejoicing that we are so loved by God, and that it would be so easy to love each other, serve one another, be attentive, strict and affectionate at the same time. And let us enter this new year with the intention of becoming truly disciples of Christ and loving each other with our lives, with all our lives. Amen.
Happy New Year greetings from Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann
What should you make a wish for the New Year?
There is an ancient custom: on New Year’s Eve, when the clock strikes at midnight, you make wishes, turn to the unknown future with a dream, and expect something necessary and cherished from it.
And here it is again New Year. What do we wish for ourselves, for others, for everyone, for everyone? Where is our hope directed?
It is aimed at one word that never dies - happiness. Happy New Year with a new happiness! This happiness is addressed to each of us in our own way, personally. But the very belief that it can happen, that you can wait for it, hope for it, is a common faith. When is a person truly happy?
Now, after centuries of experience, after everything that we have learned about a person, it is no longer possible to identify this happiness with one thing, external: money, health, success, which we know that it does not coincide with this always mysterious, always elusive concept - happiness.
Yes, it is clear that physical contentment is happiness. But not complete. That money is happiness, but also torment. That success is happiness, but also fear. And the amazing thing is that the greater this external happiness, the more fragile it is, the stronger the fear of losing it, not saving it, missing it. Maybe that’s why we talk about new happiness at midnight on New Year’s Eve, because the “old” never really succeeds, because it always lacks something. And again we look forward, with prayer, dreams and hope...

My God, how long ago the Gospel words were spoken about a man who became rich and built new barns for his harvest and decided that he had everything, all the guarantees of happiness. And he calmed down. And that same night he was told: “Mad! This night your soul will be taken from you; who will get what you have prepared?
And, of course, here, in this latent knowledge that nothing can be held back anyway, that decay and the end are still ahead is the poison that poisons our small and limited happiness.
This is probably why the custom arose - on New Year’s Eve, the clock begins to strike at midnight, make noise, shout, fill the world with roar and noise. It is out of fear to hear the striking of the clock in the silence and loneliness, this inexorable voice of fate. One blow, second, third, and so inexorably, evenly, scary - until the end. And nothing can be changed, nothing can be stopped.
So these are the two truly deep, indestructible poles of human consciousness: fear and happiness, horror and dream. That new happiness that we dream of on New Year's Eve is happiness that would completely pacify, dissolve and defeat fear.
Happiness, in which there would not be this horror, nesting somewhere in the depths of consciousness and from which we protect ourselves all the time - with wine, worries, noise - but whose silence conquers all noise.
"Madman!" Yes, in essence, the undying dream of happiness in a world stricken by fear and death is insane. And at the top of his culture, a person knows this. What sad truth and sadness the words of the great lover of life Pushkin sound: “There is no happiness in the world”! What lofty sadness pervades all true art! Only there, below, the crowd is noisy and bawling and thinks that happiness will come from noise and muddy fun.
No, it comes only when a person looks truthfully, courageously and deeply into life, when he removes the covers of lies and self-deception from it, when he looks fear in the face, when he finally learns that happiness, genuine, lasting, undying happiness - in a meeting with Truth, Love, with that infinitely high and pure that man called and calls God.
“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And in this life there is light, and darkness cannot embrace it.” And this means: not to be consumed by fear and horror, not to be dissolved in sadness and despair.
Oh, if only people, in their fussy thirst for instant happiness, would find the strength to stop, think, and peer into the depths of life! If only they could hear what words, what voice are eternally addressed to them at this depth. If only they knew what true happiness is!
“And no one will take your joy away from you!..” But isn’t it about the kind of joy that can no longer be taken away that we dream when the clock strikes?.. But how rarely do we reach this depth. How for some reason we are afraid of it and put everything off: not today, but tomorrow, the day after tomorrow I will deal with the main and eternal! Not today. There is still time. But there is so little time! A little more - and the arrow will approach the fatal line. Why put it off?
After all, here, someone is standing nearby: “Here I am standing at the door and knocking.” And if we were not afraid to look at Him, we would see such light, such joy, such completeness that we would probably understand what this elusive, mysterious word happiness means.
Protopresbyter Alexander Shmeman
Happy New Year greetings from St. Barsanuphius of Optina
With joys and sorrows
Happy New Year to all of you gathered here. I congratulate you on the joys that the Lord will send you in the coming year.
I congratulate you on the sorrows that will inevitably visit you this year: maybe today, maybe tomorrow, or soon. However, do not be embarrassed and do not be afraid of sorrows. Sorrows and joys are closely connected with each other. This seems strange to you, but remember the words of the Savior: “ When a woman gives birth, she has sorrow, because her year is come: and when the child gives birth, who does not remember the sorrow for the joy that a man was born into the world"(John 16:21). Day follows night, and night follows day, inclement weather - a bucket; So both sorrow and joy replace one another.
The Apostle Paul spoke a terrible word against those who do not suffer any punishment from God: if you remain unpunished, you are illegitimate children. There is no need to be discouraged, let those who do not believe in God be discouraged; For those, of course, grief is heavy, since they have nothing except earthly pleasures. But believers should not be discouraged: through sorrows they receive the right to sonship, without which it is impossible to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
“The youths were educated in piety, heedless of the evil command, not afraid of the fiery rebuke, but standing in the midst of the flame, belted; Fathers, God, blessed are you." (Irmos of the Nativity of Christ, tone 1, song 7.)
Tribulation is a fiery rebuke, or test, but we should not be afraid of them, but, like the reverend youths, sing of God in sorrows, believing that they are sent by God for our salvation.
May the Lord save us all and bring us into the Kingdom of the Unstoppable Light! Amen.

The family is the unit of society. Everyone knows about this. The state of society directly depends on the state of affairs in each individual group. If everyone enjoys order and prosperity at work and at home, then society will become prosperous.
The church is a close-knit congregation and a large team, in which everyone can have their own joys and sorrows, ups and downs. Therefore, it is very important to learn to understand, support, and empathize. It is a pleasure to attend a church where brothers and sisters remember the anniversaries of their members. It's great when you receive a nice card with warm words of congratulations.

That’s why my soul is so light!

Let grace come from God!
Triumph will multiply a hundredfold!
God's mercy is renewed every day. And even if we don't deserve it, He gives us everything upfront: salvation, healing, grace, eternal life. It is easier for a godly person to endure life's difficulties. Only a believer can overcome depression and many other diseases, even without medications. After all, the Lord is capable of performing miracles. “Just believe!” - the Bible says. Learn to enjoy every new day, snowflakes, pine needles, skiing and a little tangerine as a gift. After all, all this is called happiness and grace. Give your loved ones the best Christian congratulations!
With God's new grace!
With pine needles, a Christmas tree, serpentine!
And with a new long road!
And with an untrodden path!

Happy New Year to our brothers and sisters
And we wish God’s faith, so that from a spark there is a fire!
Counseling is one of the main tasks of every Christian. When you are part of a large church family, you should not be a passive listener. Become servants, helpers and supports for those who are spiritually weaker than you. Even if you cannot help those in need financially, then support them with signs of attention and the warmth of your soul. We really hope that our poetic lines will be able to help you with this.
