The Academy celebrated All Saints Sunday

The period of Holy Pentecost is over and the Christians joyfully glorify the memory of all saints, whose hearts were full of the Holy Spirit.

Holiness is a divine quality. God possesses in an absolute sense, and we can become heirs of His Kingdom in the holy Communion.

Thus, the Divine Liturgy is a spiritual triumph, which the Church luminously celebrates. At the Communion, the Holy Spirit unites different generations of Christians into a family and introduces everyone to eternity.

On June 11, Archimandrite Venedikt (Knyazev) and the academic clergy performed divine services at the Intercession Church of the Moscow Theological Academy.

After a Sacrament verse, Maxim Ivanchuk, a first-year Master's student, delivered a sermon, in which he called to follow an example of saints and open their hearts towards the Living God. 

On June 10, Archimandrite Venedikt officiated the All-night Vigil co-served by teachers and students in the priesthood.
