The confession has finished, but old parishioner\ndidn\u2019t hurry to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Father, tell me about sacrifice, please, \u2013 he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Well. There are three men before you. One\nof them donated all his property for charity and\nbecame a monk. Another one laid down his life to\nrescue the other person. The third one assumed\nincrimination in dishonour to save the reputation\nof his Teacher. Whose sacrifice is greater?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Certainly life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Let\u2019s think together. All of them did worthy\nactions. But look \u2013 one of them deserved honour and respect of his neighbours during his life. The other acquired posthumous fame. The third took the brand of disgrace that would never redeem.\nHe would lose property, as no one would agree to have business with him; he would lose his life, as death is better than life of a scoundrel. He would lose the respect of his descendants, and his trace would lose in oblivion. He would lose everything in his heart impulse to save the other man from dishonour and despair. So, whose sacrifice is greater?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Thank you, Father, I\u2019ve understood, \u2013 the\nparishioner whispered.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
