Imparatia lui Dumnezeu nu este ceva care incepe odata cu moartea, ceva de dincolo de lumea aceasta, ci Imparatia lui Dumnezeu este ceva ce incepe odata cu convertirea, odata cu angajarea fata de Dumnezeu. Noi suntem in Imparatia lui Dumnezeu in masura in care avem o legatura cu Dumnezeu, o legatura cu Domnul Hristos, avem pe Domnul Hristos im prim-planul gandirii si in prim-planul sintirii noastre, adica Domnul Hristos a intrat in componenta fiintei noastre. Daca suntem angajati pozitiv pentru implinirea Evangheliei, atunci inseamna ca suntem in Imparatia lui Dumnezeu.”( Archimandrite Teofil P.)

 

 

Sunday of the Blind man:( 5th Sunday after Easter)

“This man was not only born blind, but was born without any eyes. Christ does not only gives his sight,but creates from the mud new eyes.Here relies the great miracle!Who ever heard of such cure? Which doctor was able to give eyes to a man, who was born without eyes? Which miracle can be compare to this?Here proves the fact, that Jesus is the same God, Who at the begining of creation took ground of the earth and made man, and by breathing in his face, made “ a living soul”. The same God here makes mud and creates new eyes, grating to the man,who was born blind, his sight, which he was deprived for so many years.

 

6th Sunday after Easter  “Duminica Bisericii  Sfintei Impartasanii” , “ Duminica exempului de smerenie”

“ Dumnezeu a dat viata pamanteasca omului ca sa invete un singur lucru: cum sa invie.

Mantuitorul Hristos s-a aratat oamenilor incredintandu-i ca a Inviat din morti. Oare era important sa ne convinga ca amurit? Nu era oare suficient sa ne arate ca a inviat! Nu inviaza nimeni , oricat ar fi el de grozav , daca nu stie sa moara mai intai...Frumos spune si Eminescu: “Nu credem sa invat a murii vreodata”...Nu inviaza decat cel ce stie sa moara, dar sa nu mori oricum ...sa mori cum a murit El..

Cand a inceput Hristos sa moara in sensul de care am vorbit? De la intemeierea lumii intrucat este Mielul bland injunghiat...Dumnezeu Fiul se mistuie , caci moartea este o mistuire , o ardere...o mistuirea din dragoste pentru om...pe care l-a facut cu mainile Sale...

   Prin Evanghelia de astazi, prin aceasta frumoasa rugaciune facuta dupa Cina cea de Taina ,Mantuitorul  roaga pe Tatal Lui, sa aiba grija de Euharistie , de Biserica Sfintei Imparatasanii, pe care ne-a lasat-o sa se continue pana astazi.(Pr I B)

 

Duminica Rusaliilor

Ce este Duhul Sfant? Dudul Sfant este bucuria de a fi. Bucuria de a fi pur si simplu. A avut cineva aceasta bucurie? Toti s-au bucurat de ceva anume.Unul s-a bucurat daca a avut ce-i trebuie , altul daca si-a implint visul studiilor lui , cariera,...etc.Toate aceste sunt marginite au un final iar bucurai inceteaza in momentul cand au fost implinite. Duhul Sfant incepe acolo unde se termina aceste impliniri. Este o bucurie plina , bucuria de a fi pur si simplu.Bucuria aceasta o vom gasi la copii. Copilul nu se bucura in virtutea a ceva, el este bucurie:...(Pr. Ioan Buga)

 

First Sunday after Pentecost

“The whole mission of the Apostles, in their sermons and in their lives, was to present Christ.”

“What is the pastor’s mission to the world? Is he to be a social worker, an architect, or a social butterfly, whose businessis to erect schools and recreations centers, to raise money through dances and banquetes, raffles and bingos? Our Lors Jesus Christ said:,,As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world”(John 17;18). ‘’. And what was the mission of Christ to the world? The mission of Christ was the salvation of the world, and this is o be our mission as well.

  St. Iganatius the Theophorous wrote:”Without bishops, presbyters and deacons the Church does not exist” The Holy Fathers of the Church, dear brethren,  are those who have both observed the precepts of the Gospel in their own lives, and preached that same Gospel to the world.When we say” Fathers of the Church”, we refer to thouse who were specially gifted, particulary in the twin realms of holiness of life and correctness of faith.Holiness and wisdom must go hand and hand.(Fr. I B).

  

Thirth Sunday after Pentecost

Dumnezeu nu zice sa nu te ingrijesti si de ce vei manca manca maine, sau cu ce te vei  imbraca dar inainte de aceste sa fie imparatia lui Dumnezeu. Daca omul nu vede lucrurile inconjuratoare cu ochiul lui Dumnezeu isi iese din rost..si apare intunericul, confuzia. Cand lumina din inima ta devian intuneric apare neoranduiala:....apare insa o luciditate demonica care este mai rea decat confuzia: atunci cand omul face raul constient si dirijat....

Dumnezeu la creat pe om fara pacat. Dar atunci cand lumina din el s-a intunecat a paratut noaptea si pacatul. Pe inger la facut mai putin decat omul , chiar daca l-a facut mult mai sus, dar mai putin....Prin Evanghelia de astazi Dunezeu ne avertizeaza si ne spune ai grija de lumina din tine sa nu se stinga si sa para intunericul............

Lumea s-a ocupat de mancare si bautura si aceasta nu a fost bine pentru ca nu s-a ocupat de ele cu scopul lasat de Dumnezeu: Dumnezeu a facut raiul pentru IMPARTASANIE .
