"Faith is the encounter between man's powerlessness and God's power", said Sunday the Most Reverend Father Nectarie de Bogdania, the Vicar Bishop of the Archdiocese of Chisinau, at the Parish "Sfântul Cuvios Vasile de la Poiana Mărului" in Orhei, Republic of Moldova.

His Eminence explained the evangelical pericope of the 9th Sunday after Pentecost, showing that every person goes through trials and moments of insecurity.

"When the soul places Christ in the center of its life, fear loses its hold, and the peace of God dwells in the heart of man. Storms do not always disappear immediately, but man gains the strength to go through them with the Lord."

The vicar bishop conveyed the blessing of His Holiness Father Antonie, Metropolitan of Bessarabia and Exarch of the Plains, appreciating the liturgical, pastoral and social-philanthropic activity carried out in the parish. His Eminence encouraged the community to continue the renovation works of the church and the projects dedicated to the faithful.

Așa e, părinte Nectarie a spus-o foarte simplu și adevărat. Când te simți cu totul neputincios, abia atunci vezi că Dumnezeu lucrează. M-a bucurat și că a încurajat lucrările de la biserica din Orhei, știu cât de mult se chinuie cu renovarea.

Da, exact asta am simțit și eu de multe ori – când ajungi la capătul puterilor, abia atunci vezi cum Dumnezeu preia totul. Mi-a plăcut cum a spus că furtunile nu dispar imediat, dar capeți putere să le treci cu El. Părintele Sergiu are dreptate, unitatea și jertfa se văd clar în lucrările de la Orhei.
