On Earth, we only learn to live

Many amazing people had a chance to meet Archpriest Valentin Biryukov, a 90 -year -old priest from the city of Berdsk, Novosibirsk Region. He was predicted by the miracle of the resurrection of Claudia Ustyuzhanina - 16 years before the events that took place in Barnaul in the 60s and stirred up the belief Russia. He talked with ascetics, protrusions and prayers, little known to the world, but are indestructible faith in the Providence of God. Having passed heavy sorrow, he substituted the pastoral shoulder for people with uncertain, discouraging, weak in faith.
In the ingenuous, at first glance, stories are guessed by the simplicity of a pure heart that does not know how to doubt the goodness of God, who protects "love of heaven" with the whole being.
