Orthodox Telegram. An Orthodox messenger based on Telegram has appeared in Russia. What is Telegram Pravizn

The initiator of the launch of the application was the Synodal Department for Church Relations with Society and the Media, so that clergymen could “accept requests for prayer help from parishioners, promptly receive petitions for requests, create a channel for the church and send messages to its subscribers, organize volunteers, and collect donations.”

In fact, it turned out that Pravzhizn is a mod or a thematic shell of the standard Telegram messenger, only at the registration stage, in addition to the date of birth and phone number, you also need to indicate your heavenly patron or choose from the list as you wish. After authorization via a phone number, your contacts and chats of the standard Telegram application are loaded into the program. Those who are especially attentive have already noticed that the creators of the Orthodox version of the messenger have added the second letter M to the name. For what reason, one can only guess, but definitely contrary to the logic and rules of the Russian language.

And from the information pages before starting work, you will learn that the Orthodox messenger is “soul-saving”, “joyful”, and most importantly “necessary” in order to ask for help and offer it (a picture of a muscular arm bent at the elbow).

Users who have installed the application note that the main difference between the Orthodox Telegram and the usual one lies in the menu: there appeared the lines “temples”, “my temples”, as well as links to the installation of a mobile “prayer book” and “Pravizn 'shop”.

In addition to highly specialized church supplies and a wide range of goods for believers, the store also sells quite mundane things: photo frames, watches, films, audio recordings, clothing, bijouterie, souvenirs, and jewelry. You can find all sorts of chains, earrings, bracelets, there are even cufflinks, gilded spoons, silver cups and sets with metal piles and flasks. Our attention was drawn to the section "Pilgrim's Sets": there is, for example, a cotton shirt for Epiphany bathing for 972 rubles, sewn, by the way, according to GOST. We were also impressed by the “Goat” shoe set, inside of which there is a “scarab beetle”, which in a matter of seconds helps to remove the sneakers.

Another clergyman praises Pravzhizn for the convenience of informing parishioners about the divine service, another one expresses gratitude to his spiritual father for advising an efficient carburetor.

Unfortunately, the Sibdepo correspondent was not able to communicate in the Orthodox messenger. When installing the program, only a list of temples appeared, on the page of each of which there are two sections: general chat and the channel, but it was not possible to activate them. The program replied that a request to activate the chat had been sent, but to whom it was not known. A day later, we gave up the last hope to contact the slaves of God through this application and even write a banal "Hello from the laity!" not in any chat. Clicks on the sections "Useful messages" and "Prayer by agreement" (what is it all about?) Remained unanswered.

The version that such requests for organizing a chat, for example, of Kemerovo churches, are sent for approval to the Kemerovo diocese, turned out to be untenable.

“Nobody here is officially responsible for this and does nothing. Each parish, each person decides for himself whether to use this application for him or not, ”said Sibdepo in the press service of the diocese.

Priest Anatoly, Church of Martyr Tatiana

Archpriest Alexander, Church of the Resurrection of Christ

Arrangement of the iconostasis is not an easy and very expensive business! I was convinced of this from my own experience. For more than two years, the parishioners of the church made donations for this good cause, and there was no end in sight to the collection.
More than once I have left applications on various charity sites asking for help. But, alas, the result was minimal.
On the advice of the parishioner, I registered for Pravzhizn and announced the collection of donations (to be honest, without much hope of success). Money began to drip, at first a little bit, and then the number of benefactors increased significantly. As a result, after three months I already had the amount necessary to order the missing icons!
I am amazed and happy at the same time. God save all benefactors! Thanks to the creators of the service! I wish you continued success.

Priest Sergius, Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

For the past few years, I have had the feeling that I am constantly on the phone. The phone was literally bursting with calls. Alas, most of them were devoted to various minor issues, for example, clarifying the time of worship (although the schedule hangs in a prominent place in the church, and, moreover, is regularly updated).
I solved the problem in the following way: I publish the schedule in the group of our church in Pravzhizn Telegram. Parishioners come in and find out when the service they need is taking place, although they had to make an announcement several times in order to subscribe to this group all parishioners who have the technical ability to join it

Alexey Markov, St. Petersburg

I have repaired the carburetor three times already. Three times! First in September, then under New Year the carburetor gave me a "present" again, then in February.
In April, he started to junk again. I didn't have any strength - I didn't spend so much money on him, but there was no sense. He even started to get angry. And so he went to confess his sin of anger to the priest.
What was my surprise when Fr. John (my confessor) advised me a carburetor, who is also a parishioner of our church! Help, it turns out, came from where I did not expect it. Although, to be honest, I did not really hope that the specialist proposed by the priest would be sensible.
As a result, I signed up for the service station at the end of April. It's August now - and everything is perfect!
Conclusions: we need to communicate more with parishioners. There are so many good people around, and we don't even know about it ...

Elena Derevyanko, Vladimir

The problem, of course, is petty, but I will also share my joy. My hair is unruly, styling does not hold, so I always go with a braid. No hairdressers and no professional tools helped.
And then one day, on the territory of the temple, a woman praised my hair and recommended that I do such and such a hairstyle. Word for word, I shared my trouble and then I found out that she was a hairdresser. We agreed that I would come to her salon.
I came and did not regret it. God sent this woman to me straight! She gave me a wonderful haircut and recommended hair care products. Now I look great and very rarely braid the annoying braid.
And by the way, the services of this hairdresser are quite inexpensive! Who would have thought that with such an excellent master I have been going to the same temple for three years now?

Irina Tolmacheva, Simferopol

I recently left the decree, and my son went to kindergarten. And one after another, the son's illnesses began. One sick leave, second, third ...
At work, they began to unequivocally hint that this could not go on for long. I understood that a little more and they would “leave” me. I didn't want to lose my favorite job ... I started looking for a nanny. Unfortunately, the search dragged on.
I started to worry. I asked for prayer help from friends of the parishioners in the church. And in response I heard recommendations: it turns out that one experienced nanny, with a pedagogical education and living nearby, goes to our church! We phoned, and now she always insures me in case of illnesses of my child.
This is a real gift from God!

About us
How often do we ruthlessly hurt people:
With a cold word, a gesture and a prickly look,
And, not hiding his dislike for them,
We pour out anger on those around us.
How often someone else's pain does not bother us
And we do not think about how our word will respond.
We insolence and rudeness pour salt into the wounds,
Forgetting that our impudence will come back to us like a boomerang.
How often there are no authorities for us,
We will confidently insist on our opinion in a dispute.
We will restrain our bosses and elders,
So that things work out for us all according to our will.
How often do we become the arbiters of the destinies of others,
Our verdict does not tolerate objection and acquittal.
We brand, we slander, we condemn our enemies,
Whom the Lord sent for our salvation and knowledge.
How often we do not honor the older generation,
They had to take a lot in life.
And we "poke" them and get annoyed at them, shout, -
They are waiting for a drop of indulgence to fall on them.
How often do we do things that shouldn't be:
Slander, quarrel, envy, jealous,
We teach each other how we should live,
But we will not yield to anyone, and therefore we are at enmity.
Our hyper-vision embraces everyone and everything,
He does not contain only his own soul.
She is held captive by merciless passions
And he suffers from the enemies the most regrettable torment.
Only God can save us!
We know this from the first days of our churching.
But the Lord also expects decisive steps from all of us,
So that the mind and heart burn with jealousy about salvation.
Lord the Merciful, help us!
Do not allow us to perish for your eternal life,
Heal our souls with Your love,
So that we can love and share the endless joy.

September 30 (September 17, old style) The Church commemorates the holy martyrs Faith, Nadezhda, Lyubov and their mother Sophia.
The Church of the first-born triumphs, and the mother rejoices in her children, rejoicing, like wisdom, the same breed of equal number named by the threefold theological virtue. You with the wise virgins see the angry Bridegroom God the Word, with her and we spiritually in their memory will be merry, saying: Trinity champion, Vero, Love and Hope, affirm us in faith, love and hope.
Three sisters
Grief, suffering, despair are full
The stormy waves of the sea of life,
Splashing them - tears and blood! ..
But to a man in a vale of languor
Wonderful sisters are given as a consolation:
Faith Hope Love!
The first in the share of the harsh, dull
He comes to people with mighty power,
Full of heavenly light.
And, encouraging the gloomy soul,
Faith brings them courage with itself,
She drives away doubts.
In a harsh life, in a hopeless longing
The second one shines with a guiding star,
This star is leading us.
We look forward with hope bolder,
The dark distance is clearer and brighter,
The burden of adversity is lighter for us.
The third sister is God's breath.
No suffering is terrible with her.
Her temple is our hearts! ..
She has compassion, pity, participation,
In her is the beauty of forgiveness and happiness,
The kingdom of love without end!
Hieromartyr Thaddeus (Assumption), Archbishop of Tver
Executed in 1937

Pravzhizn Telegram Before you is the first Orthodox messenger that will help believers communicate, get to know each other and subscribe to the channels of a huge number of churches and monasteries in order to stay up to date with the latest events.

Pravlife Telegram will allow you to stay in touch with other parishioners of your church at any time. Exchange instant messaging, attach images, audio or video recordings to them, ask for help and provide it to others, and also receive the latest temple news directly to your smartphone.

The program will allow you to add the desired temples or monasteries to bookmarks and then quickly access them on the "My Temples" tab. Also, by joining the public group of the temple, you can read its official channel. This will allow you to quickly learn about upcoming events. In addition, you can connect a large number of public channels, such as the Gospel, Orthodox Calendar, etc., or create your own channel.

Messenger Pravzhizn Telegram for Android will also be useful for priests. Using this program, you will be able to accept requests for prayer help, urgent needs, create channels of temples, thematic groups for communication, send mailing to parishioners, as well as ask and collect donations for the needs of the temple, and much more.

Since the program is based on the secure Telegram messenger, it is able to reliably protect user data during correspondence. In addition, all channels in it are encrypted and available only to subscribers.

Keep abreast of book announcements and musical novelties, get a grip on the knowledge of historical dates and latest news science, ask a question to the priest online - all this can now be done.

Most of its channels are entertainment in nature. However, amid all this scattering of fun, there are also “zolotniks” that attract people who are interested in more serious things: culture, education, religion ...

We tried to find them and present them in the form of small announcements.

The blog of the messenger itself will certainly be useful for all Telegram users. This is a news channel about Telegram - information about updates and options for setting display parameters in the current country (localization files). Here messenger news is regularly posted, information about latest updates, useful files and in general - all kinds of events, one way or another related to Telegram.

The channel, which is a calendar of memorable dates in the history of mankind. Here you can find out, for example, about the year in which Duke Gottfried of Bouillon was proclaimed the ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and "Protector of the Holy Sepulcher" after the capture of Jerusalem by the crusaders. When the final split of the Christian Church took place - into Roman Catholic and Orthodox. As well as the exact date of completion of construction in Moscow on the Red Square of the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, better known as the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed.

Another channel for calendar topics. It reminds of Orthodox holidays, fasts, days of commemoration of saints and many other things from the life of the Church. This project, like the channel @gospeleveryday, created by Foma magazine in cooperation with radio Vera with the support of the Synodal Department for Church Relations with Society and the Media.

"Records and Extracts" is the name of a rather curious and rich cultural channel of the journalist and current editorial director of the Moscow Times Publishing House Yuri Saprykin. There is a lot here and a lot about what. The author writes not only about culture. On his page there is also a place for music, for excerpts from interesting books, links to topical materials, stories about Moscow. However, paying tribute to the author's unconditional mind and education, a certain politicization and "omnivorousness" of his blog is striking. In a word, there is something to learn here for yourself, if you have the patience to cut off everything unnecessary.

Educational channel about education. Here you can learn about how education and science are developing and changing today and what they may be like in the near future. This channel will be equally interesting for teachers of higher and secondary schools, and for students and schoolchildren and their parents, and for people engaged in self-study and self-development, as well as all those who closely follow the state of Russian and world education. Here, for example, you can take a test based on the teachings of Thomas Aquinas about scholasticism. Find tips from an eleventh grader: how to prepare for the exam. Find out what the free arts are and how things are with them in Russia?

Pasha and His Procrastination is a rather curious channel for text lovers, both short news stories and long books. And do not be confused by the somewhat indigestible name of the channel. Here you can learn useful information on how to write any text: from an article to a book. They will tell you about writing problems, provide advice from famous writers, and provide you with various links to books on the craft of writing.

The creators of the channel of the popular Internet project "Father Online" promise to chat with you and share the latest news. In addition, the channel announced the launch of bots, which in the very near future will make it as simple and easy as possible to ask a priest from any country a question and get an answer in real time.

Telegram is a communication application that is mainly installed on smartphones, although it can also be downloaded from regular computer... In the family social networks it appeared relatively recently. It was created by one of the founders of Vkontakte Pavel Durov in 2013. This is not just a messenger in which you can send SMS, like in other programs. Here you can send various files, for example, documents or desired photos. Communication is possible both with a specific person and with a large number of people.
