FOTOGRAFIA DUHOVNICEASCĂ A ZILEI
Echilibrul – Equilibrium – Ισορροπία (ισοζύγιο)
Romanian
Unul dintre cele mai importante lucruri în viaţa unui conducător este echilibrul. Conducătorul trebuie să fie cumpănit, să fie o personalitate, să-şi stăpânească patimile astfel încât să aibă o judecată dreaptă. Asta nu e uşor de obţinut pentru că e nevoie de multă chibzuinţă şi sfat.
Însă dacă el reuşeşte acest lucru, atunci conducătorul poate să împartă în siguranţă lumina discernământului său celorlalţi.
…şi asta este, probabil, adevărat în special în cazul Arhiepiscopului Pavel de Alep fotografiat mai jos în timpul Sf. Liturghii, care are o zonă geografică foarte dificil de păstorit – zonă ce acoperă părţi din Siria, Liban, Turcia etc. El trebuie să fie foarte înţelept pentru a-şi conduce turma către pacea lui Hristos.
Însă, de fapt, nu suntem toţi ca nişte oi în mijlocul lupilor?
Ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά πράγματα στη ζωή ενός ηγέτη είναι η ισορροπία. Ο ηγέτης πρέπει να είναι ισορροπημένος, να έχει δυνατή προσωπικότητα, να κυβερνάει τα πάθη του, προκειμένου να έχει ορθή κρίση. Αυτό δεν είναι εύκολο να επιτευχθεί καθώς χρειάζεται πολύ φρόνηση και καθοδήγηση.
Όμως αν το πετύχει, τότε μπορεί με ασφάλεια να διαδώσει τον «Ήλιο της δικαιοσύνης» στους άλλους….
…και αυτό φαίνεται να ισχύει και για το Μητροπολίτη Χαλεπίου Παύλο, που βλέπουμε στην φωτογραφία κατά την διάρκεια της Θείας Λειτουργίας, ο οποίος έχει να ποιμάνει μια πολύ δύσκολη περιοχή που καλύπτει μέρος της Συρίας, του Λίβανου και της Τουρκίας. Πρέπει να είναι πολύ συνετός, προκειμένου να οδηγεί το ποίμνιό του στην ειρήνη του Χριστού. Έτσι και αλλιώς δεν είμαστε όλοι σαν πρόβατα ανάμεσα σε λύκους;

One of the most important things in the leader’s life is the equilibrium. The leader needs to be balanced, to have a strong personality, to reign over his passions in order to have a right judgement. This isn’t easy to achieve, it needs a lot of thought and counselling.
However if he manages that, then he can safely spread the light of his judgment to others.
…and this, perhaps, is especially true in the case of Archbishop Pavlos of Aleppo depicted bellow during the divine Liturgy which has a very difficult geographical area to parish which covers parts from Syria, Lebanon, Turkey etc. He needs to be very wise in order to guide his flock to the peace of Christ. But anyway aren’t we all like sheep in the middle of wolves?
