«...Иисус Наставник, помилуй нас!»

A woman (old) does bad things to people (curses, etc.), goes to church, confesses, but sighs heavily at every service. Why?

Try never to accuse a person of witchcraft and so on. Even the saints avoided this. Only God knows what is in man. Very different people come to church. And deeply religious, and even sorcerers and psychics. And everyone comes with their own goals. However, true Christians are recognized in the following way: "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another" (John 13:35).

Is it possible to be an unbaptized Christian?

"The soul is Christian by nature," says one of the Church Fathers. But only the baptized are Christians, who fulfill the commandments of Christ and live according to the laws of the Church, which, in the words of the Holy Apostle Paul, is "the pillar and ground of the Truth" (1 Tim. 3:15).

Is it necessary to get married? And before the Lord, if we are unmarried, are we sinners, are we unclean?

If both future spouses are believers, baptized and Orthodox, then the wedding is necessary and obligatory, since during the performance of this Sacrament, the spouses receive a special grace that sanctifies the marriage. Marriage after the wedding becomes not only an ordinary union of two people, but a Sacrament of the Church.

When I confess my sins, and so many sins have been forgotten since childhood that I can't even remember what will happen to me if I don't mention them before the Lord. They will remain in my soul. Especially minor sins, as they say: slander, deception, condemnation, anger, perjury, obscene jokes, jokes, songs, etc. In general, how many sins from youth!

To do this, you need to get a detailed list of sins, choose your sins and confess. In order to receive the greatest possible cleansing of the soul from sins in confession, it is necessary to pray to God that He would reveal our sins to us, but because of weakness we forget them. Especially the so-called "minor sins". In order to receive a more complete forgiveness of sins, it is necessary to have a very strong desire, and during Great Lent it is necessary that the Sacrament of Unction or Unction be performed over you in church. In this Sacrament, all sins that we have forgotten or were not very clearly aware of are forgiven.

How is the word "blessed" to be understood, namely, "blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven"? What poor in spirit and why?

"Blessed" means happy. Happy are the poor in spirit – these are those people who realize that they are only at the beginning of the spiritual movement towards the Kingdom of Heaven, who realize that they lack their own strength to achieve spiritual affairs and who need Divine help. These people always strive for the ideal of holiness. Pharisaic self-satisfaction is alien to them, which engenders stagnation, stagnation, and the end of perfection. Therefore, such people are not far from reaching the Kingdom of Heaven, and this is the greatest happiness.
