Bishop Ieronim on the Icon of the Mother of God Prodromița: It unites us, the Romanianstranslated
"It ultimately unites us, the Romanians," said Sunday the Most Reverend Father Ieronim, Bishop of Dacia Felix, about the Icon of Our Lady Prodromitsa.
His Eminence celebrated the Holy Liturgy at the "Descent of the Holy Spirit" Church in Ecica, Serbia. The hierarch explained that the Mother of God remains the perfect model of obedience and following Christ.
"The Mother of God is really the icon of the Church, the icon of the incarnation of the Son of God and the other qualities of obedience, cooperation and sacrifice. We also have the icon of the Mother of God the Guide or Guide, who does not exhort us anywhere but to listen to and follow our Lord Jesus Christ", the bishop told Trinitas TV.
The Reverend Father Ieronim highlighted the role of churches and Romanian believers in the diaspora in preserving identity and traditions: "We give glory to God that here we have so many bridges of connection with Heaven through our Holy churches and that our believers are a living, genuine presence".
At the end of the Holy Liturgy, the parish priest and dean Gabriel Bandu thanked for the blessing of the bishop's visit and reminded that there is a copy of the Icon in the church...
