Hram la Putna: In our times, we need the Mother of God more and moretranslated

"In our times, we need more and more the Mother of God, to learn how to understand the call of God, His will and full faith in His wisdom", said Saturday, at the dedication of the Putna Monastery, Metropolitan Athanasius of Latakia (Patriarchy of Antioch and the All East).

"Through the answer of the Mother of God: "Let it be to me according to your word", she was worthy, for her faith and obedience, of the word of God: Blessed are those who listen to the word of God and keep it."

"Those who keep the Lord's word are those who live according to His commandments, just as the Virgin Mary kept everything in her heart, thus becoming the image of humility and holiness," His Eminence said.

The Metropolitan of Antioch celebrated the Holy Liturgy together with Bishop Ieronimo of Dacia Felix and Vicar Bishop Damaschin Dornea of the Archdiocese of Suceava and Rădăuți. The cathedral was also attended by several abbots, father advisors from the Diocesan Center in Suceava, and a delegation of Romanian priests from the Chernivtsi region led by Father Vasile Covalciuc, Protopope of Storojineț.
