Photo report – Φωτογραφικό Ρεπορτάζ

English

We must never forget that we are the descendants of the Holy Apostles. This doesn’t imply to go to preach at all costs, but implies that we must have their faith.

We must know that when we are called to preach, we receive the necessary grace in order to overcome everyone. But it depends on our faith to activate this grace.

But we will not conquer the others’ lands, neither others’ money but their hearts. And then it will be paradise on earth.

The thing is to have such a faith.

The photos were taken at a liturgy in Vatopedi Monastery with the Siluanos of Gyula, the romanian archbishop in Hungary.

Româneşte

Nu trebuie să uităm niciodată că suntem urmaşii Sfinţilor Apostoli. Asta nu pentru a propovădui cu orice preţ, ci pentru a avea credinţa lor.

Trebuie să ştim că atunci când suntem chemaţi la propovăduire primim harul să nu ne stea nimeni împotrivă. Depinde însă de credinţa noastră să punem în lucrare acest har.

Şi vom cuceri nu pământurile altora, nu banii altora ci doar inimile lor. Şi atunci va fi raiul pe pământ.

Totul este să avem atâta credinţă.

Greek

Δεν πρέπει ποτέ να ξεχνάμε ότι είμαστε απόγονοι των Αποστόλων. Αυτό δεν σημαίνει να πηγαίνουμε και να κηρύττουμε με κάθε κόστος αλλά πρέπει να έχουμε την πίστη τους.

Πρέπει να γνωρίζουμε ότι όταν καλούμαστε να κηρύξουμε, λαμβάνουμε την απαραίτητη χάρη προκειμένου να ξεπεράσουμε οποιονδήποτε. Το να ενεργοποιήσουμε την χάρη βέβαια εξαρτάται από την πίστη μας.

Όμως δεν θα κατακτήσουμε ούτε την γή των άλλων ούτε τα λεφτά τους αλλά την καρδιά τους. Και τότε θα γίνει Παράδεισος επί γης.

Το θέμα είναι να έχουμε τέτοια πίστη.
