The Protector of the Diocese of South Bessarabia, honest in Cahul: He was a zealous man for holy things, says PS Veniamintranslated

Saint Hierarch Dionysius was honored on Thursday at the Episcopal Cathedral in Cahul. The Bishop of Cetății Albe-Ismail is the protector of the place of worship, as well as of the Bishopric of Southern Bessarabia.

On this occasion, His Holiness Father Veniamin officiated the Holy Liturgy, where he showed the life and work of the holy hierarch, whom he presented as "a man zealous for the holy things, a lover of the Holy Scriptures and the lives of the saints".

Starting from the Gospel story about the Good Shepherd, His Eminence emphasized the responsibility of the one called to guide the community entrusted to him.

"The savior Jesus Christ reveals Himself to us as the Good Shepherd, the One who knows His sheep, takes care of them and lays down His life for them. Therefore, it is important that each of us know the true Shepherd, Christ, and recognize His voice."

"The shepherd is called to take care of the flock entrusted to him, to guide it, to strengthen it and to see that no sheep goes astray. And the shepherds are called to remain in communion with their shepherd, so that their work together is for salvation, and the joy is full," added the bishop.
