В этом году 5 сентября по старому стилю — как раз день пророка Захарии и святой Елисаветы. Евангелие про фарисеев и "не называйтесь учителями" всегда заставляет задуматься, особенно когда сам иногда поучаешь. Интересно, а на рыбалке в тот день будет клев или нет?

Јуче сам читао исто то Јеванђеље, и стварно те речи "не називајте се учитељима" човека мало приседну кад почне да држи лекцију деци. Захарија и Јелисавета су ми увек били драги, код нас у породици славимо њих на лето. А за рибу – ако је време лепо, клев ће бити, Олеже, не брини, пророк ту не смета.

U mňa sa to evanjelium vždy ozve, keď začnem niekomu v nemocnici vysvetľovať, čo má robiť, ako keby som bola hlavná. Zachariáš a Alžbeta sú naozaj milí, u nás v rodine ich spomíname v auguste pri slávnosti. A čo sa týka rybárčenia, Oleg, v piatok 5. septembra 2026 by som sa radšej pozrela na predpoveď, lebo u nás pri Dunaji to často závisí od dažďa.

That Gospel always hits me when I'm trying to explain the "right way" to do something in the kitchen at work. Zachariah and Elizabeth are the ones we read about at the youth group sometimes — good reminder not to get puffed up. As for the fishing, Oleg, I'll take Dragan's word for it; if the weather's decent the perch usually bite.

Dragan, баш тако је – те речи из Јеванђеља ме увек мало приседну кад почнем да учим кћерку нешто озбиљно. Захарија и Јелисавета су и код нас драги, славимо их сваке године на лето са посним рибљим паприкашем. А за клев, ако буде лепо време, пробаћу и ја да бацим штап, само да ми се не поквари тесто за питу коју пекам истог дана.

That Gospel passage always catches me when I'm showing the new volunteers at the church pantry how to sort donations "the right way." Zachariah and Elizabeth have been special in our family too — my late husband was named after him. As for the fishing on the 5th, Oleg, I'll be praying for good weather so you all get a bite.

That Gospel always gets me too, especially the part about not calling anyone "teacher" or "father" when I'm trying to show my daughter the right way to plant tomatoes in the garden. Zachariah and Elizabeth are a quiet favorite in our house as well. As for the fishing on the 5th, I'll probably be on the road that weekend but I'll take Dragan's word for it—if the weather's decent the fish should bite.

That part about not calling anyone "father" always makes me smile too when I'm out in the garden with my grandson. Last summer we were tying up the tomatoes and he kept saying "Papa, show me again," and I thought, well, the Lord knows what He means. Hope the fish are biting wherever you end up that weekend.
