The glory of Duži Monasterytranslated

On the Feast of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, His Eminence Metropolitan Dimitrije presided over the Holy Liturgy in the Duži Monastery, with the concelebration of the clergy and clergy of the Diocese of Zahum-Herzegovina and Primorska and guests from other dioceses.

Speaking on the Gospel, Metropolitan Dimitrije taught that every gift of God to angels and people, according to the saint, comes through the Mother of God, who is the intercessor and comforter in the Church, and that every church is an icon of Her Veil. Archangel Gabriel, announcing the good news, gave the Mother of God a new - heavenly name, Blagodatna, and thereby foreshadowed the destiny of every authentic human being - to be blessed. To receive blessings and mercy, to open the heart and soul, to open the conscience for the Living and True God, for Him to dwell in man and for a new man to begin. Reflecting on the tragedy in which two young men were killed, Bishop emphasized the special importance of the example that adults, with their lives, set for children, quoting Dostoyevsky that we are all responsible for everything.

After Holy Communion, there was a solemn Lithian procession around the monastery property, and upon arrival in front of the church, the consecration of Slavic grain and cakes was performed.
