Metropolitan Hariton: We look to Christ as much as it has been given to us, as much as we can look at himtranslated

"We look to Christ as much as it has been given to us, as much as we can look at him", emphasized on Thursday the Most Reverend Father Hariton, Metropolitan of Kananga from the Church of Alexandria and All Africa, at the patron saint of the Sângeap-Basaraba Monastery in Iasi county.

The liturgical responses and litanies were said in Romanian, Greek and French.

His Eminence spoke about the meaning of the Feast of the Transfiguration and about the work that man is called to fulfill in his own life.

Metropolitan Hariton said that man can see God to the extent of the purity of his heart. He explained that passions and sins weaken spiritual vision.

"When we have a pure heart, we see God," said Metropolitan Kananga.

Renewal of life His Eminence emphasized that Transfiguration is not only a celebration of honor, but also a call to renew life.

"The Lord climbed the mountain and changed His Face to convey a message to us: Now that you have seen Me, you must also change something in your life," explained the Most Reverend Father Hariton.

Metropolitan Hariton urged the faithful to transform sins into virtues, malice into love...
