On the Sunday of Samaritan woman, the abbot of the monastery, father Gavril served a Holy Liturgy, where the faithful people received the Holy Body and Holy Blood of Christ.

In the teaching of the Sunday Evangel, father Gavril pointed out our essential need of personal meeting with God and the state and effects before and after that meeting with Him.

God is a Person – Holy Trinity and He reveals to us, before all, through the Person of the Word of God. Before that meeting with Him, we were weak and tied to the material world and caught by the death, wrangle and dismembered between us and also personally, but when we achieve that personal meeting with Him, we’ll recognise that He is our only real God and Savior and then we become new, renewed and spiritual persons. Then our hearts will become a spring of life water (grace) which will pour out into eternal life.

However, our personal meeting with God we can achieve only if we bow down to Him, in spirit and truth. That is, in a humble and repenting spirit, because the truth is one – we are sinful and we are going to die. That meeting with Him we can achieve only with our personal, willing and loving struggle, and as much as every one of us wants to give – that is as fruitful as we will be. Some will give 30, some 60, but some 100.  

Nedelata na Samarjankata

Vo Nedelata na Samarjankata, igumenot na manastirot, o.Gavril otslu`i sveta Liturgija, na koja verniot narod se pri~esti so Teloto i Krvta Hristovi.

Vo poukata od Nedelnoto Evangelie, o.Gavril ja potencira na{ata nasu{na potreba od li~na sredba so Boga i sostojbata i efektite pred i posle taa sredba so Nego.

Bog e Li~nost - Sveta Troica i nam ni se otkriva, pred s#, preku Li~nosta na Slovoto Bo`jo. Pred taa li~na sredba so Nego, nie sme nemo}ni i vrzani za materijalniot svet i zateknati od smrtta, skarani i raspar~eni me|usebno i li~no, a koga }e ja ostvarime taa li~nosna sredba so Nego, }e poznaeme deka On e edinstveniot na{ vistinski Bog i Spasitel i toga{ postanuvame novi, obnoveni i produhoveni li~nosti. Toga{ na{ite srca }e postanat izvor na `iva voda (blagodat) koja i }e se izliva vo `ivot ve~en.

Me|utoa, taa na{a li~na sredba so Boga mo`eme da ja ostvarime samo ako Mu se poklonime so duh i vistina. Toa e smiren i pokajni~ki duh, za{to edna e vistinata - gre{ni sme i }e umreme. Toa mo`eme da go postigneme edinstveno so svoj li~en, volev i quboven podvig i toa koj kolku saka - tolku }e donese i plod. Nekoj 30, nekoj 60, a nekoj 100.
