Bishop Dimitrije served in Mostartranslated

September 7, 2026 · 1 min read

On the fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost, the Most Reverend Metropolitan Dimitrije served the Holy Liturgy in the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Mostar, with the participation of the Mostar brotherhood.

In the gospel sermon, Metropolitan Dimitrije explained that today's description of the wedding is a continuation of the story of the evil husbandmen, there the Old Testament time is in the center of attention, and here the sending of the Son of God into the world - the Lord does not resort to anger, but makes a wedding for his Son, which is the Church, the Resurrection of Christ. Referring to the fathers, the Metropolitan explained that the lack of wedding clothes represents the man's intention to embarrass the host. It is a picture of ancient times, when the host prepared everything, as the Lord dresses a man in a white robe at baptism. The Lord has prepared everything, and it is up to man to enter that life, to respond and to live for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Thanks for the article. The explanation about the wedding dress was particularly clear to me - that it is like the white dress at baptism that the Lord gives us, and we only need to preserve it and live in it. In Mostar, it's always nice when the metropolitan serves, the brotherhood does well there.

Thanks for the article. I remember how the bishop said that the Lord prepares everything, like a host at a wedding, and we just need to respond and enter that life. In Mostar, the brotherhood is really valuable, I remember how they also renovated the church.

Thanks for the article. What stuck with me the most is how the bishop says that the Lord does not go to wrath, but makes a wedding for the Son, that is the Church. I remember when I was in Mostar for a liturgy, the brotherhood really arranged everything beautifully, from the church to the table afterwards. It's good when we remind ourselves that it's up to us to enter that life that has already been prepared.

Thanks for the article. What stuck in my mind the most was that the wedding dress is the same white baptismal dress that the Lord gives us, and we just need to keep it. In Mostar, the brotherhood is really valuable, I remember how they prepared everything beautifully for the table even after the Liturgy.

Thanks for the article. What caught my eye the most was how the bishop says that the lack of a wedding dress is actually intended to embarrass the host - it's just like someone coming to a celebration in a dirty shirt and thinking that they will "be themselves". And the Lord gave us everything, including the white dress at the baptism and the invitation to the wedding, it is only up to us not to soil it. The brotherhood in Mostar really knows how to arrange everything nicely, I also remember their table from two years ago.
