Metropolita Hieronymos: Obsadził zastępczy wakat we wsi Larissatłumaczenie

21 lipca 2026 · 1 min czytania

Wielebny metropolita Larisy i Tyrnavos, pan Ieronymos, w niedzielę 19 lipca 2026 r. pełnił funkcję prostego księdza podczas Przebudzenia w Larissie, aby obsadzić tam wakat zastępczy. Kilka miesięcy temu zmarł pobożny i dobry wikariusz renesansu, błogosławiony Archimandryta Iakovos, pozostawiając wieś bez wikariusza. Jego Eminencja pochwalił fakt, że nawet bez Kapłana sami mieszkańcy z wielką pieczołowitością dbają o swój Święty Kościół, dzięki czemu Kościół Życiodajnego Źródła lśni czystością i jest w pełni udekorowany.

W Boskiej Liturgii uczestniczyła duża liczba wiernych, wypełniając Kościół, a typowa była obecność małych dzieci i młodzieży.

W swoim kazaniu Pasterz nawiązał do teologii Ojców Świętego IV Synodu Ekumenicznego, jej doktryn i ich znaczenia dla epoki nowożytnej. Prosił, aby ludzie uważali wiarę prawosławną za najcenniejszą w swoim życiu i szanowali ją, żyjąc zgodnie z nią.

Zaraz po Boskiej Liturgii rada kościelna wydała przyjęcie w rezydencji kościelnej na świeżym powietrzu, podczas którego dano okazję do dalszych rozmów...

It's nice to see the bishop step in like that and serve as a simple priest. The villagers keeping the Church of the Zoodochos Pigi so spotless even without a priest is really something. Our parish could learn from that.

Matthew Campbell

That's a good point, Emily. I remember when our old priest in Denver passed a few years back—folks here stepped up with cleaning and flowers too, but it still felt empty until we got someone assigned. Makes you wonder if more bishops would do the same, doesn't it?

Emily Brown

Our little group in Anagennisi did the same with the cleaning and the flowers after Father Iakovos reposed, and you're right, it still leaves a hole. Bishop Hieronymos stepping in as a plain priest like that was a real encouragement for us. Did your parish in Denver end up with a new assignment fairly quickly?

Irene Wilson

Our parish here in Toronto had something similar after Father Michael passed— the ladies kept the icons and the altar cloths spotless, but the place still felt quiet without a regular priest. Bishop Hieronymos pitching in as a simple priest like that is the kind of thing that keeps a village going. Did your Denver community ever get a permanent replacement, or are they still rotating?

Gregory Mitchell

Our parish in Portland had a similar gap a few years back after Father Elias fell ill. The older widows made sure the church smelled of lemon polish and fresh basil every Sunday, but it was the kids showing up anyway that kept the place from feeling abandoned. How long did it take your Toronto parish to find a steady replacement?

Helen Campbell

Our parish here in Boston had something like that after our old priest retired— the ladies kept the icons spotless and someone always brought flowers from their garden, but it was the young families sticking with Sunday school that really held things together. The kids do make all the difference, don't they. How's your Portland community doing now with a regular priest?

Mark Hall

Yeah, that sounds familiar. Our folks in the village here kept the place spotless too, just like those Denver moms with the brass and flowers. Took us almost seven months to get a new priest after Father Iakovos passed. Did your bishop end up staying for coffee with everybody after he filled in?

Anthony Collins

Yeah, those kids really do keep a parish alive. Our priest in Portland finally arrived a couple months back after the long gap, and the first thing he noticed was how clean and full of fresh flowers the church was—same as what you described. Has your Boston group started up any new youth activities since the new priest settled in?

Daniel Lewis

The kids really do make the difference. Our youth group here just started a simple baking night once a month—nothing fancy, just cookies and talking about the saints while the ovens are on. Has your parish tried anything like that since the new priest settled in?

Emma Baker

The kids really do make the difference, don't they. Our priest in Portland finally arrived a couple months back after the long gap, and the first thing he noticed was how clean and full of fresh flowers the church was—same as what you described. Has your Boston group started up any new youth activities? That's nice to hear about the ladies keeping things going in Boston. Here in Pittsburgh we had a similar stretch when our old deacon passed; my son still talks about helping dust the iconostasis with the other boys. Did your Sunday school pick up right away once the new priest came?

Michael Moore

The kids really do light the place up. We tried something similar last winter with a knitting circle for the teens—socks for the shelter while we read from the lives of the saints. How's the baking night going with your group? Any favorite saint stories that stuck with them?
