FOTOREPORTAJ: ANTI-ANTI-EXEMPLU

[slideshow]

Romanian

Întro lume plină de anti-exemple trebuie să avem tăria de a mărturisi pe Hristos. Şi asta în primul rând prin faptă şi nu prin cuvânt. De a fi un anti-anti-exemplu. Într-o lume a concurenţei să fim nişte personalităţi care ne interesăm de cei mai trişti ca noi. Într-o lume egoistă să ne interesăm de ceilalţi. Să fim factori de unitate nu de dezbinare.

A fi un liant care uneşte pe oameni este ceva esenţial pentru societatea aflată astăzi în dezintegrare. Însă paradoxal, poate, aceasta se face de multe ori fără mult zgomot. Fă astfel încât să te vadă doar Dumnezeu şi atunci oamenii, privind mai îndeaproape lucrarea ta, vor deveni mai altfel, mai buni, mai aproape de Dumnezeu, mai oameni. Nu încerca să faci fapte bune pentru a fi văzut de oameni, că nu merge. Vei deveni şi tu un anti-exemplu, ca foarte mulţi din lumea aceasta. Nu vei mai rezolva nimic.

Trebuie să-i înţelegem pe ceilaţi, ca să ne înţelegem pe noi înşine. Şi dacă nu ne înţelegem pe noi înşine cum ne vom rezolva problemele?

Rezolvarea problemelor proprii depinde de felul cum ne purtăm cu ceilalţi.

Mai jos aveţi un foto reportaj de la chilia-bolniţă unde părintele Ermolae, ţinut la pat (fiind bătrân şi bolnav) este îngrijit şi împărtăşit.

Greek

Σε έναν κόσμο γεμάτο από αντι-παραδείγματα που πρέπει να έχουμε τη δύναμη να ομολογ ούμε τον Χριστό. Πρώτα μέσω της συμπεριφοράς μας και στη συνέχεια μέσα από τα λόγια μας. Πρέπει να γίνουμε ένα “αντι-αντι-παράδειγμα ” . Σε ένα ανταγωνιστικό κόσμο, πρέπει να γίνουμε προσωπικότητες που νοιάζονται για αυτούς που είναι λιγότερο τυχεροί, πιο θλιμμένοι από εμάς. Σε ένα εγωιστική κόσμο, είναι σημαντικό να νοι αζόμαστε για τους άλλους, να γίνουμε δείκτες ενότητας, όχι διαίρεσης…

Για να είναι κάποιος γέφυρα, που συνδέει τους ανθρώπους, είναι ουσιαστικό σε μια αποσυντεθεμένη κοινωνία του σήμερα. Παραδόξως , πολλές φορές , αυτό μπορεί να επιτευχθεί χωρίς πολύ θόρυβο. Κάνε τε το με τέτοιο τρόπο που μόνο ο Θεός θα σας δει και στη συνέχεια οι ανθρώπους. Κοιτάζοντας πιο κοντά τη συμπεριφορά μας, εμείς θα γίνουμε καλύτεροι, πιο κοντά στο Θεό, περισσότερο άνθρωποι . Μην προσπαθήσετε να κάνετε καλά πράγματα για να σας δουν άνθρωποι , γιατί δεν θα λειτουργήσει. Θα γίνετε ένα αντι-παράδειγμα, όπως και οι άλλοι σε αυτόν τον κόσμο. Δεν θα λύσει τίποτα.

Πρέπει να κατανοήσουμε τους άλλους, για να κατανοήσουμε τον εαυτό μας. Και αν δεν κατανοήσουμε τον εαυτό μας, τότε πώς θα λύσουμε τα προβλήματά μας;

Η λύση των προβλημάτων μας εξαρτάται από το πώς συμπεριφερόμαστε στους άλλους.

Παρακάτω έχετε μια έκθεση φωτογραφίας από το κελλί -θεραπευτήριο, όπου ο πατέρας Ερμόλαος βρίσκεται στο κρεβάτι (είναι ηλικιωμένος και άρρωστος) λαμβάνοντας φροντίδα και του παρέχεται η Θεία Κοινωνία.

English

In a world full of anti-examples we must have the strength to confess Christ. And firstly through our behaviour and then through our words. We must become an anti-anti-example. In a world of competition we must be personalities which care about the ones that are less fortunate, more sad than us. In a selfish world it is important to care about the others, to be indicators of unity not of division.

To be a bridge, connecting people, is something essential in the disintegrating society of today. Paradoxally, many times, this can be accomplished without too much noise. Do it in such a way that only God will see you and then people. Looking closer to our behavior, we we will become better, closer to God, more human. Don’t try to do good things to be seen by people, because it will not work. You will became an anti-example, like the others from this world. You will not solve anything.

We must understand the others, in order to understand ourselves. And if we don’t understand ourselves, then how we’ll solve our problems?

The solution of our problems depends on how we behave to others.

Bellow you have a photo report from the cell-infirmary where father Ermolaos is kept in bed (being old and sick) taken care of and given the Holy Communion.
