Bishop Dimitrije served in Vrapčićitranslated

On the fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost, the Most Reverend Metropolitan Dimitrije celebrated the Holy Liturgy and performed the rite of consecration of the chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the town of Vrapčići near Mostar. Priests Nebojša Radić, Slavko Lalović and deacon Miloš Janjić served with the Most Reverend Metropolitan.

In his Gospel sermon, Bishop Dimitrije, recalling the words of Saint Bishop Nicholas, said that God not only has love for people and all creatures, but He is essentially love. From that love everything was created, and as the crown of everything man was created - people, to process everything created and to offer everything to God in the Liturgy in love. Interpreting the Gospel story about the two greatest commandments, the Metropolitan, using the image of the Lord's Cross, taught that the Lord himself formed the Cross, which from a means of shame became a means of salvation and consists of two commandments - love of God and love of neighbor.

After the Dismissal, Metropolitan Dimitrije wished that the Service and Communion would bring joy, peace and love to everyone, praising the locals for their efforts in decorating the chapel, which they decorate with great love, thus decorating their souls and their dignity.
