sermons of St. Luke (Voyno-Yasenetsky), archpastoral service in Tambov, mercy, compassion, Divine love, the Law of Christ.Abstract
The article discusses the specific understanding of the virtue of mercy by St. Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky). It shows the features of its implementation on the example of biographical facts, as well as homiletic works during the period of archpastoral service at the Tambov cathedra. The empirical material of the study was the cycle of sermons of St. Luke, which compiled the book “My Strength is Made Perfect in Weakness…”. In the course of the study of the Tambov sermons of the archpastor, it was established that their central theme is the spiritual rebirth of a person, their moral growth based on the virtues of mercy and love, through which one can find the path to salvation. The content analysis and the semantic-stylistic method made it possible to reveal the linguistic and stylistic originality of the archpastor’s sermons, considered in the context of the theme of mercy. With the help of the phenomenological method, the concept of mercy as the main virtue in the life of a Christian is revealed. In conclusion, the author gives a scheme for the linguistic representation of the theme of mercy in the sermons of St. Luke, where compassion, pity and mercy for one’s neighbor are the basis of the virtue of mercy, and its peak is love as the fulfillment of the entire law of Christ. Thus, to those who reach the state of mercy, Divine love is revealed.
