Bishop Maxim sends special coronavirus message April 8, 2020
Posted April 8, 2020
As Covid-19 spreads around the globe, people are rethinking how they do things and how they appreciate the life itself. For us, this Great Lent of our lives, is a good opportunity to participate in the life of Christ, not mentally but existentially. Remember, when someone is empty of Christ, then a hundred and one other things come to fill him: jealousies, hatreds, boredom, depression, negativity. In the midst of the current coronavirus pandemic, DISCERNMENT is called for in order to distinguish whether something comes from the grace of God, the activity of the nature, the evil one or the human constitution. Тhe ultimate goal of fasting in these strange times of Corona virus is discovery of Christ in the person of the sufferer, the poor, the tormented, the stranger and the prisoner. To see Him everywhere and always invisibly – even when you do not see Him. So that He is blessing and understanding for all.
Владика Максим о корона вирусу на почетку месеца априла 2020
Posted April 8, 2020
Владика лосанђелески и западноамерички говори о размерама пандемије корова вируса. Kрупнији историјски догађаји често дају садржај за духовну обнову. Ношење са овим вирусом није лако и он представља изазов за медицину као и за психологију, али на може повести и на духовно путовање. Који је философски, духовни смисао коронавируса? Приоритети, хијерархија вредности се поново васпостављају. Питање, да ли је Коронавирус казна Божија, зашто неки умиру а неки не, није наше питање. Угледајмо се на једног великог подвижника Св. Антонија Великог (357). ”Ава Антоније, упирући свој поглед ка дубинама судова Божијих, упита: – Господе, како неки умиру мало поживевши, а неки у дубокој старости? И зашто су једни сиромашни, а други богати? И како то да једни, иако су неправедни, бивају богати, а други, иако су праведни, бивају сиромашни? И дође му глас који говораше: – Антоније, пази на себе; јер то су судови Божији и није ти од користи да их разумеш.” Пустиња наших приватности тражи глас и поруку какву нам пружа Антоније Велики.
