The "Holy Prophet Daniel" parish in Villarrobledo, Spain, celebrated its 15th anniversary on Sunday with a Holy Liturgy officiated by the Most Reverend Father Timotei, the Romanian Orthodox Bishop of Spain and Portugal.

Archid served alongside the hierarch. Spiridon Burlacu, diocesan economic adviser, and Fr. Liviu Frone, parish priest of the community.

Felicitări comunității din Villarrobledo pentru cei 15 ani! Mi-a plăcut cum a vorbit episcopul Timotei despre cei doi demonizați – că Dumnezeu nu se uită la cât de alungați și părăsiți suntem, ci ne redă demnitatea. Interesant că demonii Îl recunosc pe Hristos imediat, iar oamenii încă se întreabă cine este El.

Felicitari community of Villarrobledo pentru cei 15 ani! I liked cum a spus episcopul Timotei că cei doi demonizați, deși alungați de toss, au primit back demnitatea de fii ai lui Dumnus. Oare de ce noi, the men, mai stam și ne estgutăm cine e Hristos, când în și demonii L-au ďvămisit immediat?

Mikhail, you noticed correctly, I also liked this part very much. It's a little embarrassing when even the demons immediately recognize it, and we're still asking, "Who's that?" It would be good if we got to him as fast as they got away.

These 15 years are not small, especially in a far away country like Spain. I liked that Patriarch Timothy linked the story of the madmen to “every human being has value before God.” This reminds us that no matter how distant or rejected we feel, He is always ready to bring us back.
