Healer St. Luka Krymsky
our contemporary, canonized
St. Luke of Crimea – our contemporary (in the world Valentin Feliksovich Voyno-Yasenetsky: April 27 (May 9), 1877, Kerch - June 11, 1961, Simferopol). Russian scientist, surgeon, healer and spiritual leader, preacher, writer, bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church. For numerous merits and extraordinary abilities, he was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church and numbered among the saints.
Fate led him along the missionary path. And at first he was not going to be not only a priest, but he did not immediately discover in himself a vocation to become a doctor. From childhood, the future archbishop loved to draw, graduated from the Kyiv art school and was already going to enter the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts.
At the last moment, he decided that he had no right to do only what he liked. And this decision turned his subsequent life upside down. Medicine was the new frontier he set for himself. He had to do what was difficult, and he almost forcibly forced himself to learn what was alien. Nevertheless, unexpectedly for himself, Voyno-Yasenetsky became interested in anatomy. And in the end, "... from a failed artist became an artist in anatomy and surgery" (as he recalled about himself).
After defending their dissertation in 1917, the Voyno-Yasenetskys moved to Tashkent. There, Valentin Feliksovich received the position of chief physician and surgeon of the city hospital.
In the same place, the surgeon, as a deeply religious person, finds himself at the church congress of Turkestan and delivers a fiery report, only because the state of affairs in the Tashkent diocese seemed depressing to him. And he was by no means an indifferent person.
And after the meeting, the ruling bishop came up to him and said: “Doctor, you need to be a priest. Your job is not to baptize, but to preach the gospel,” and he entrusted him with the work of preaching.
A prominent scientist, author of medical monographs, healer, c Archpriest Luke spoke about faith simply and clearly, with God's inherent gift. But he continued to operate and lecture at the Faculty of Medicine, where he came right in a cassock and with a cross on his chest.
In the 1920s, the GPU took over Archbishop Luka and began his wanderings. In 1921, the head of the local Cheka, the Latvian Peters, organized a show trial of "reactionary" doctors andValentin Voyno-Yasenetsky was summoned to court:
Tell me, priest and professor Yasenetsky-Voino, how do you pray at night and slaughter people during the day?
I cut people to save them, but in the name of what do you cut people day and night?
And how do you - professor - believe in God? You cut people's legs, arms - have you seen the soul?
I also operated on the brain and did a craniotomy, but I never saw the mind there either. And there was no conscience either.
However, the authority of the personality of the preacher by that time was so great that the matter was exiled to Arkhangelsk. The second link was to Siberia. Throughout the war from 1941 to 1945, Voino-Yasenetsky saved the wounded in the Krasnoyarsk hospital and continued his research in the field of purulent surgery.
For scientific work "Essays on purulent surgery" repressed archbishop received the Stalin Prize I degrees in 1946. God's Providence saved him from persecution, thanks to surgical practice and the talent of a scientist.
In the same year c Hierarch Luke was transferred to the Crimea. He spent the last 15 years of his life in Simferopol: as always, he treated, helped the poor, restored the devastated diocese.
Healing icon of St. Luke of Crimea
Nowadays, people come to the icon of St. Luke for healing

He is still in the hearts of people - a healer from God. Famous case of miraculous healing boy musician who injured his hand. Doctors gave him a disappointing diagnosis and the operation did not give a reliable result. Then the boy began to come sv. Lukei is on her knees asking for help. He said that he really wanted to become a pianist...
In his lifetime, the healer Archbishop Luke treated people with the help of medicine and the word of God. Now everyone can read his books, works on medicine and philosophical treatises "Science and Religion", "Spirit, Soul and Body". His memory is kept in the Holy Trinity convent(Simferopol). The relics of the saint are buried there. In 2000, he was canonized and canonized as a saint.

Juse?ppe Mosca?ti(Italian Giuseppe Moscati; July 25, 1880 - April 12, 1927) - saint Roman Catholic Church, Italian doctor, researcher, university professor.
Biography
Born July 25, 1880 in Benevento. Giuseppe was the sixth of nine children in a wealthy family, his father was a prominent lawyer. When Giuseppe was 4 years old, the family moved to Naples, where he spent the rest of his life. After graduating from elementary school in 1889, he entered the Lyceum Victor Emmanuel, then studied at the medical faculty of the University of Naples, from which he graduated in 1903 with a doctorate in medicine.
After graduation, he worked as a freelance adjunct in one of the Neapolitan hospitals. During the eruption of Vesuvius in 1906, he was assigned to lead the evacuation of the hospital in Torre del Greco - he saved the sick, risking his own life. In 1908 he became a full-time assistant in the Department of Physiological Chemistry at the Neapolitan Medical Institute. In 1911 he made a great contribution to the elimination of the cholera epidemic in Naples. In the same year he was accepted as a member of the Italian Royal Academy of Medicine and Surgery.
During the First World War, he tried to sign up for volunteers, but he was refused, believing that his medical abilities would be more useful. In the hospital where Moscati worked during the war, up to 3,000 wounded soldiers were under his care.
In 1919, he was appointed chief physician of the department for terminally ill patients in one of the Neapolitan hospitals. In 1922, a special commission of the Ministry of Public Education gave him the right to teach freely in a general medical clinic. In 1923 he was sent by the Italian government to the International Physiological Congress in Edinburgh. Moscati made a great contribution to the study of the problem of the onset of diabetes, his work greatly contributed to the discovery of insulin. He was the editor-in-chief of the medical journal Medica Reform.
According to colleagues, Moscati was known for his dedication, disinterestedness and deep piety. He almost never took payment for treatment from the poor, and he helped those in particular need by putting bills into written prescriptions. openly confessed Christian faith, taking communion daily and encouraging the sick to participate in church sacraments, for which he made many enemies in the medical environment from among the materialists and anti-Christians.
He died in 1927 at the age of 47 from a sudden illness.
Canonization
Three years after the death of Moscati, his body was reburied in the Neapolitan church of Gesu Nuovo on November 16, 1930, after another 45 years on November 16, 1975, Giuseppe Moscati was canonized. After the case of the miraculous cure of cancer by the Neapolitan Giuseppe Fusco recorded by the relevant commission (in a vision, the mother of the patient observed a man in a white coat who came to him, in which she then identified Moscati from a photograph), the process of canonization was initiated.
Giuseppe Moscati was canonized by Pope John Paul II on October 25, 1987, as a pious layman who used his medical profession to spread Christianity and works of mercy among the sick in need of spiritual help. The canonization of Moscati was an example of how sainthood can be achieved by a modern layman who has chosen an ordinary lay profession. It is significant that the canonization was announced at the end of the General Synod of Bishops, which for almost two months discussed the topic of the calling and mission of the laity in the Church and the world. In a speech dedicated to the canonization of Giuseppe Moscati, John Paul II said:
The center of veneration of Giuseppe Moscati in Naples is the church of Gesu Nuovo, to which, three years after his death, the body of the saint was transferred. Subsequently, the relics of Giuseppe Moscati were placed under the altar of one of the side chapels, and a museum dedicated to the saint was equipped in the former sacristy. The walls of the memorial hall are hung with numerous votive offerings of believers, the furnishings of Moscati's room are recreated, his clothes and medical instruments are kept.
Saints are among us, they pray, help in word and deed, save this world, otherwise it would have been destroyed long ago. We do not notice them, more precisely, we do not want to see them. The essence of this article is not to teach, but to lead a little to reflection and, possibly, effective changes in one's existence. Maybe after reading this publication or watching the film of the same name ("Giuseppe Moscati - Healing Love") you will deepen your search for truth, look around you, change your attitude towards others, look inside your soul.
How people were tested for holiness
People are judged by their actions. To identify a saintly person, one must have the knowledge of how to do it. Previously, those whom people called saints were simply checked - they were thrown into a pit with a hungry predatory beast (tiger or lion) and observed. Usually the animal pounced and ate the person. But if the hungry animal took a humble pose and licked the feet of the prisoner of the pit, the latter was taken out and respected.
Over the years, there were more and more religions and scammers, and this rule was canceled. Yes, and people cheaply want to get priceless, that's why there are cheap gurus (teachers of spiritual knowledge). But today we will talk about the man before whom even his ill-wishers bowed their heads.
Fancy Doctor
In the world his name was Giuseppe Moscati. The biography of this person is truly amazing. He came to Earth on July 25, 1880, to a rich noble family in the city of Benevento, located northeast of Naples (Italy). At the age of seventeen, the young man took a vow of lifelong chastity. Of course, anyone can make such a vow, but keeping it, to put it mildly, is not easy. It is required to lead a certain way of life (to live only for the benefit of others), otherwise it is just a pathetic farce.
Moscati Giuseppe devoted his life entirely to God. Sincere faith expressed not only prayers, but also practical service to all the people around.
Career stages
In 1903, Giuseppe received his doctorate in medicine. After 8 years, he was already the leading doctor of the Naples clinic for the terminally ill. After a similar period of time, he defended his doctoral dissertation and gained fame in scientific circles for his 32 scientific publications.
He was always at the center of the most terrible events from a worldly point of view (in 1906 he saved people after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and in 1911 he was at the center of the height of the plague in Naples). But from the descriptions, only a small part of the affairs of this great personality has come down to us.
Missionary activity
Moscati Giuseppe was loved by everyone: both the poor and the rich. Although in doctoral circles, many ridiculed him for non-standard methods of treatment, or rather, they simply envied him. Wearing a doctor's coat, he talked more about the spiritual with the patients, and this was not a professional trick. Rather, it manifested true compassion and selfless love for all living beings. He asked me not to worry too much about the physical, although he really treated and prescribed medicines. He did not take extra money from the rich, he left himself only for a modest life, and paid for medicines and food for the poor with income. And he did it not for show, but secretly, so that no one would know. Sometimes the patient found money in his prescription or under his pillow after the doctor left.
The unselfish heart of Moscati
Dr. Moscati Giuseppe asked to go to church services more often, which he himself attended in his spare hours. He inspired me to listen about God, to think about eternal happiness, to receive the sacrament of communion.
People no longer believed him for his doctoral degree, but for his kind loving heart, selflessness and sincere desire to help everyone. The patients had to keep silent about many things, because good deeds were ridiculed at all times. And in the miracles of spiritual healing, I did not want to believe people in scientific circles. Everyone wanted to write their own book, which described the merits of the author himself, and not God.
Professor Moscati Giuseppe always treated his students as equals (even freshmen), asked their opinion, was never proud and did not exalt himself or his merits. Showing the body of a dead person in training, Giuseppe Moscati said without ridicule that human selfishness ends here, so it is important to have time to forgive your offenders before death comes, to try to be kinder to others. The students were so enthusiastic that they followed the doctor with open mouths (more precisely, hearts) when he went to church for mass at lunchtime. And they even escorted him with the whole crowd to his house, where another line was waiting for the professor - poor patients and the needy.
The kind heart of the doctor really worked miracles, most of which are described in the film "Giuseppe Moscati - Healing Love." How much Giuseppe slept and rested nobody was interested. Only the Lord himself knew this, taking his faithful follower to himself in that place where there is no more suffering and death. Giuseppe Moscati left a huge mark after such a short life. The biography of this unique doctor, who lived only 46 years, is presented in the film of the same name.
Doctor Legends
Memorial Day (physical death) - April 12, 1927. As they said then, the world lost a saint, and the sick and poor of Naples lost everything. But many sufferers said that Dr. Moscati came to them and treated them. Those, in turn, later learned that their beloved doctor had been dead for a year, or even more time. But they refused to believe it. And until now, the saint comes to serve those who ask for his help, and to those who are not needed in this world.
Only in 1975 he was canonized as a saint. Those who knew and believed will continue to communicate with Dr. Moscati and receive help. And those who did not believe (proud and envious) will remain so for now. The Lord constantly sends His messengers to both of them so that we become who we are, and not who we consider ourselves to be (only this material body).
The relics of the saint are kept in the church of the Gesu Nuovo in Naples. According to local traditions, it is possible to touch the graphic print of the hand of the blessed Moscati.
Much more could be said about this amazing personality, but it is better to watch the biographical film of the same name "Giuseppe Moscati - Healing Love". In Italy, the premiere of the cinematic masterpiece took place in 2007. Two years later, the picture was shown on the Russian channel "Culture".
Declared saints. The Neapolitan doctor was not only a good doctor, but also a man with a great soul. Deep faith endowed him with a sense of mercy and compassion for others. In his opinion, she could heal better than any doctor.
Giuseppe Moscati: biography
He was born in Benevento (Italy), which used to be known as the "city of witches", in 1880. He was the sixth child in the family, had 8 more brothers and sisters. His father was a sought-after lawyer, so the family lived in abundance. When the parents moved to live in Naples, little Giuseppe was 4 years old. It is in this city that he will live until the end of his days.
In 1889, the boy completed his primary school education and continued his studies at the Lyceum. After graduation, he enters the university at the Faculty of Medicine.
In World War I, Moscati Giuseppe tried to sign up for a volunteer detachment, but was refused, as the commission decided that medical skills would be much more useful in the rear. He was sent to work in a hospital, where in wartime under his care there were more than three thousand wounded front-line soldiers.
In 1919, he received the post of chief physician in one of the hospitals in Naples for terminally ill patients. After 3 years, he was given the right to teach in a public clinic.
The following year, the country's government sent Moscati to the capital of Scotland - the city of Edinburgh, where a congress of physiologists from all over the world was held.
Deep faith in Christ and the motivation of patients to participate in Christian church rites gathered around him many enemies in the face of atheists.
Selfless, unaware of self-interest, too devout - this, according to acquaintances, was Giuseppe Moscati. His biography ended too soon. He died at the age of 47.
His knowledge and work helped in the study of diabetes and the creation of insulin. Moscati tried not to take money for treatment from the poor, he even helped them with small amounts, which he invested in a written prescription.
Reading about this, many people probably wondered: "Are there any doctors like Giuseppe Moscati now?"
Personal life
Moscati decided not to tie the knot and devoted his life entirely to his profession and the world. Avoiding worldly temptations, he consciously opted for celibacy, claiming that he had never known a woman.
He lived with his sister, who ran the household, fully managed the finances, protecting the great doctor from everyday problems.
"Sick - a book of nature"
The actions of Giuseppe Moscati are the best way to tell how merciful and pure he was.
For example, when he was called to help a sick person living in a notorious neighborhood, he did not refuse. If someone started talking about the danger of such areas, Moscati said: "You can't be afraid when you go to do a good deed."
One day, acquaintances met Giuseppe in one of the squares, which was located far from his place of residence. When asked what he was doing here, the doctor replied with a laugh: "I come here to become a spittoon for a poor student."
The guy was sick with the initial stage of tuberculosis, and if the owners of the room he rented found out about this, he would be kicked out. Giuseppe came daily to collect and burn the dirty handkerchiefs and exchange them for clean ones.
But the most touching incident, testifying to the boundless kindness and professionalism of Moscati, happened to an old man who needed daily supervision. While working in the hospital, Giuseppe was very busy and could not come to the old man every day, so he offered him an interesting way out. Every morning, the old man must sit at a table in a cafe, past which Moscati goes to work, and drink hot milk with cookies (of course, at the expense of a kind doctor). Each time, passing by the institution, Giuseppe looked out the window and checked if there was a patient. If he was not, then this meant a deterioration in the old man's health, and Moscati in the next free time went to his house on the outskirts of the city.
He devoted a lot of time to students and novice doctors, sharing his knowledge and experience with them, saying: "There is no hierarchy next to the patient."
Many asked him the question of how he withstands colossal daily stresses, depriving his body of proper rest. To which the Neapolitan doctor replied: "He who takes communion every morning has an inexhaustible supply of energy."
All quotes by Giuseppe Moscati are clear evidence of the purity of his soul.
A film about a life filled with love and selflessness
There are many films in the world, after watching which you think about your life. This is exactly what the biopic "Giuseppe Moscati: Healing Love", directed by Giacomo Campiotti, is.
Both the plot and the staging of the picture about the life of a Neapolitan doctor are made at a high professional level. The film is watched in one breath. The interweaving of life's joys and sufferings shown in the film can melt even the coldest heart.
A little about the plot
The film begins showing how two friends are graduating from medical academy and preparing for their final exams. Young Moscati was able not only to brilliantly cope with this task, but also to help his friend.
From now on, friends are waiting for practice in one of the hospitals in Naples, where strict rules cannot be violated, but for them this is the best place to develop their medical skills.
Giuseppe stays in the hospital for days and tries to give each patient maximum attention, thereby gaining respect and love among patients. And when an earthquake occurs in Naples, he is the first to run to the rescue and save more than a dozen patients.
Many people while watching the painting "Giuseppe Moscati: Healing Love" come to understand that mercy and faith are something more than daily reading of the Bible and prayer. As Scripture says, "Faith without works is dead."
Canonization
The body of Moscati Giuseppe was reburied in 1930 in the Gesu Nuovo (church in Naples). Exactly 45 years later, he was beatified. The process of canonization took place after the mother of a cancer patient from Naples saw in her vision a doctor who healed her son from the disease. From the photograph presented to her, she recognized Giuseppe.
The canonization carried out by John Paul became a clear example of the fact that even a modern layman who chooses a simple profession can become a saint.
Today, the relics of Moscati Giuseppe are kept in the church of the Gesu Nuovo. Within its walls there is a recreated doctor's room, where several medical instruments that he used and his clothes are kept.

"Mene, mene, tekel, uparsin"
Here, it would seem, an inconspicuous actor - Giuseppe Fiorello, but if we put him on one scale and Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck, Vin Diesel, Jackie Chan, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, etc., on the other, it turns out that he will outweigh them all. In terms of money earned, Giuseppe Fiorello will be in the lightest weight category, but in terms of the Divine Truth, in terms of beneficial effects on the hearts, minds and souls of people, this actor will be in the heaviest category, and the above listed "elite" may be out of bounds altogether. The Lord says in Scripture: I will take you into My inheritance.
We can put all Hollywood movies on one side of the scale and this one on the other side of the scale, and it turns out that this movie will be much heavier. Maybe I'm exaggerating somewhere, generalizing, but I want to convey some idea. Once the king of Babylon - Belshazzar was feasting in his palace, he thought of himself that he was the most powerful and richest, but then a mysterious hand appeared and inscribed on the wall the phrase: "Mene, mene, tekel, uparsin" - which means - you are weighed on scales and find it too light. On the same night the Persians seized his kingdom and he was killed. So I say: Hollywood! “You are weighed in the balance and found too, too light, even Belshazzar is heavier. The time will come for the shameful death of Hollywood.
And to you, those who write enthusiastic and exalted reviews of their god - Hollywood, I say: it makes no sense to even put you on the scales, because your god, whom you worship, is lighter than emptiness.
What is the modern film industry but wine in the goblet of the harlot who sits on the seven-headed beast described in the Revelation of John. Why do I get acquainted with most films, no further than a poster? - Because in order to understand what is bottled wine, it is not necessary to taste it. Everything is written on the label: so many degrees of alcohol, so many percent of sugar. And then we understand whether it is dry wine, port, Madeira, fortified or liqueur wine. Sometimes on the "label", i.e. they lie on the poster or covertly write, but how many sips do you need to drink to understand that this is wine? - But you keep drinking and drinking, you just get drunk, and then you say: “the movie is super”, “fantastic”, “amazing”, “class”, “top score”, “watch for everyone”, “must watch”, “such a movie not everyone will understand", etc. and so on.
Let's get back to the movie, because there is every chance that this review will be deleted. Before us is the life of a holy man - Giuseppe Moscati. In my opinion, films and books, for the most part, should describe the lives of talented people, good people, geniuses, saints, adepts and teachers. These people should be the beacon of the whole civilization, they move the world evolution, the Earth rests on them. If we remove these people from the Earth for a year, the world will collapse. They are in the vast minority today, but on their shoulders they hold this world and thanks to them, God shows his long-suffering towards the Earth.
Giuseppe Moscati - how much tenderness, kindness, mercy, sacrifice, faith, love in this man. I look at this light, and I think: Lord, can I serve you like this brother. This Soul lived for others, not for itself. He sacrificed his own happiness for the sake of others. He could live with his beloved, in the palace, he preferred a modest life and sacrificial work among seriously ill people. I once went into one institution where there were many sick people, something like lepers, having been there for half a day, I fled from there, with the thought: Lord, God forbid! And I thought about how doctors and nurses work there. - Not for any money. Not ready.
The last scene with a friend couldn't bring tears to my eyes. I watched the film for a long time, but when I remember the scene of the last meeting with a friend, my eyes moisten. Just like Christ, spat on, beaten, mutilated, nailed to the cross, at the last moment says: Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. One must have a big heart that can hold a lot of Love in order to love these stupid and wayward children, no matter what. of people.

My dear Marie,
I hope you appreciate sincerity, because I tell you in all sincerity that Eckhart Tolle is a charlatan, my spirit cannot stand him. This is not an emotional reaction to a person, it is beyond my mentality and heart, and it is not subject to revision or reassessment. And, of course, I am not flattered in any way that they compare me with E. Tolle. This does not mean that I like flattery, we are just from different camps, as they say.
My Teacher Christ and the Spirit of Truth!
We say this: "I believe in the One, Eternal God of Love, in the One Teacher of Wisdom - Christ, and in the Spirit of Truth!"
I am telling you very intimate things, I hope you will take them seriously.
And I'll end on a happy note.
You are a beautiful person, I like your chin and forehead, your sincerity and kindness. Among other things, if you mentioned E. Tolle, it means that you are interested in the spiritual life, and this positively pleases me. "Ask, seek and knock," says the Master. This means never stop in your search for the Truth, i.e. God. Seek, my dear soul, and find.
With best wishes,
