Hierodeacon Macarius (Petanov)

"As the spiritual Mother of all mankind and the Accomplice of the Redemption, the Blessed Virgin Mary extends her merits to the entire Mystical Body, which embraces all people (?! – Hierod. M.), even in some way also of the Angels. She deserved everything that can be considered the merits of Jesus Christ Himself, the Head of all people, the source of all grace" (p. 115). Another new invention. Compare the prophet Isaiah: "Who is this that cometh from Edom, in scarlet garments from Restocker, so majestic in His garment, coming forth in the fullness of His power?" "I am the one who speaketh righteousness, the mighty one to save." Why then is Thy garment red, and Thy garments like those of one who trampled in a winepress? "I trodden the winepress alone, and none of the nations was with me; and I have trampled them down in my wrath, and trampled them under foot in my wrath; their blood sprinkled on my garments, and I stained all my garments; for the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. I looked, and there was no helper; he was amazed that there was no one to support him; but my arm helped me, and my wrath supported me; and I have trampled down the nations in my wrath, and have broken them in my wrath, and have poured out their blood upon the earth." I will remember the mercies of the Lord, and the glory of the Lord for all that the Lord has given us, and His great goodness to the house of Israel, which He has shown them in His mercy and according to the multitude of His mercies" (Isaiah, LXIII, 1-7).

And this is not to mention the fact that in this "Rosary" we also encounter such "pearls": the Saviour, he said, "asked John the Baptist to perform baptism on Him in the established order, for the repentance of sins" (p. 28); "John the Baptist poured water on the head of Jesus" (p. 29); "The Resurrected One Descended into the Underworld" (p. 31); "We must give glory to the Father, who begat a son by knowledge" (p. 55); "Thou art from the heights of heaven, as we imagine them in our imagination, as the Kingdom of glory" (p. 132), which is categorically forbidden by Sts. Fathers of the Orthodox Church; or, again, in the far-fetched "answer to prayer", in the same "Rosary": "Love Me as you are" (p. 133), "I also love your weaknesses in you" (p. 134), "I could predestinate you for great feats. No, you will be a useless slave. I will take from you even the little that you have... because I created you only for love" (p. 134). Compare the words of the Savior in the Gospel: "He who loves his life will destroy it; but he who hates his life in this world will preserve it unto eternal life" (John 2:10). XII, 25) or: "Which of you, having a servant ploughing or shepherding, when he returns from the field, will say to him, 'Go quickly and sit down at table?' On the contrary, will he not say to him, "Prepare me supper, and gird yourself up, serve me while I eat and drink, and then eat and drink yourself?" Will he thank this servant for having carried out the command? I don't think so. In the same way, when you have done all that is commanded you, say, We are servants, worthless, because we have done what we ought to have done" (Lk. XVII, 7-10).

In the Rosary of 1974 we find both "My soul magnifies the Lord" in Church Slavonic in Russian letters (p. 124), and the Orthodox Symbol of Faith "I believe..." (p. 130), without the Filioque. This manifests a kind of Uniate logic, which is quite evident from the "Rosary" published in 1992, on the cover of which there is a reproduction of the Kazan Icon, which for many years was located not anywhere, but in Fatima. According to this logic, on the pages of this Rosary, published specifically for Russia, Orthodox liturgical texts in Russian translation turn out to be quite compatible with the prayer of Francis of Assisi, the author of the well-known words: "I am not aware of any sin in myself that I would not atone for by confession and repentance," in the assessment of Orthodox theologians as a deceived person deceived by demons.

By the same logic, the above-mentioned Kazan Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos should, according to the compilers of the Rosary, peacefully coexist with illustrations "deeply religious in spirit" (p. 46), in the opinion of the same compilers, the artist Brad and Barthes, who, although "works in the tradition of the school of Fra Angelico and Memling" (p. 4), but in the illustration on p. 43, made according to the type of "coronation of the Mother of God", He squares the heresy of the Filioque, depicting the Father and the Son not only as overshadowed – emitting – united by the Spirit (dove), but also as symmetrical "twin brothers", this is also Sabellianism, condemned at the Councils of Alexandria (261) and at the Council of Rome (262).

At the same time, the compilers responsibly declare "that the common prayer to which we call has nothing in common with Latinization or with proselytism." They "firmly believe" "that the Holy Orthodox Church inseparably belongs to the Mystical Body of Christ" (p. 9), and the purpose of the prayers of the Rosary, with reference to the Fatima revelations, is, they say, "the salvation of Russia" (p. 3) and "reconciliation between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches" (p. 9).

Aren't there too many old and new 30 heresies and the blasphemy that runs through them?

THE SECOND APPEARANCE OF THE "LADY" – JUNE 13, 1917.

The second apparition made itself known to the children with complete clarity, and they called it lightning, but it was not lightning in the strict sense of the word, but rather an outpouring of approaching light. Some of the spectators, about 50 people who came to the site, saw the sunlight darken for several minutes from the start of the meeting. Others said that the top of the leafy tree seemed to bend under some weight a moment before Lucia began to speak. During the conversation of the Most Holy Virgin with the children, many heard a rustling sound, like the buzzing of a bee. Lucia recalls:

"After I read the Rosary with Jacinta and Francisco and a few others present, we saw again the radiance of light that was approaching and that we did. was called lightning, and after that the Virgin appeared over the rocky oak, just as in May.

- What do you want from me?

"I want you to read the Rosary all day long and learn to read. Later I will tell you what I want.

I asked for the healing of one sick man.
