Each of us has had situations in life when someone's kind advice and support was badly needed. And if friends and relatives are afraid to entrust something intimate, then in such cases, at the call of the heart, you can turn to the church, to the priest.
Instructions
Step 1
You can get to the priest if you come to any church for a service. In the morning and evening services on holidays, there is a sacrament called confession. You need to prepare a list of your sins, list those committed acts that prevent your conscience from sleeping peacefully. In a stall with church utensils, you can buy spiritual literature, where the main list of sins is listed.
Step 2
For many people, pride prevents them from openly mentioning their mistakes in life and getting valuable advice during confession. Then you'd better approach the first priest you meet, who will be in the church. He will never refuse and will listen to all your questions. Someone is interested in family chores, someone is gnawing at the disease. The main thing is to remember that you do not need to be afraid and shy. The priests managed to see many different people during their work and will not be clearly surprised at anything.
Step 3
Nowadays, pilgrimage trips to various holy places have become very popular. There are legends that in some places there are also perspicacious elders-monks who see the future. You can read information on Orthodox sites and forums and choose where to go. But keep in mind that there may be a long queue for such priests and you will have to stay at the church for a single week.
Step 4
On the advice of friends, you can choose a priest about whom your loved ones and relatives have already formed their own good opinion. And if you like the father, will be able to endear you to himself, then over time he can become your spiritual father, whom you can turn to on all life issues and never hide anything from him.
Step 5
In any case, the priest should endear you to himself - then it will be easier for you to open up to him. Choose the one who is right for you (whether you want a strict spiritual father or a particularly kind old man).
