He who devoutly strives to attain wisdom and is on his guard against
the invisible powers, should pray that both natural discrimination -
whose light is but limited - and the illuminating grace of the Spirit
abide with him. The first by means of practice trains the flesh in
virtue, the second illuminates the intellect so that it chooses above
all else companionship with wisdom; and through wisdom it destroys the
strongholds of evil and pulls down 'all the self-esteem that exalts
itself against the knowledge of God' (2 Cor. 10:5).

The Cup of Christ
By Bishop Ignatius Brianchaninov
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bishop Ignatius came from a family of landed gentry and was educated
at a military engineering school in St. Petersburg. There he became
convinced of the vanity of worldly sciences in the face of eternal
life, and he applied himself to the study of the Holy Fathers. His
decision to become a monk was cemented upon his acquaintance with
Elder Leonid of Optina, and when a grave illness obliged the
authorities to release him from further military service, he entered
the St. Alexander of Svir monastery. In 1833 he was appointed
superior of Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Hermitage near St. Petersburg,
and in 1857 he was consecrated bishop. But he ruled only four years
before poor health prompted his retirement to the St. Nicholas-Babayev
monastery. There he reposed on April 30, 1867, a man of holy life and
an accomplished practitioner of the Jesus Prayer.
Among English-language Orthodox, Bishop Ignatius is best known as the
author of The Arena. His wealth of service to the Church include an
additional six volumes of writings on asceticism, in which he
skillfully adapted teachings and examples from the ancient desert
fathers, making them applicable to contemporary strugglers.
Two beloved disciples asked the Lord for thrones of glory-and He gave
them His Cup (Matt. 20:23).
The Cup of Christ is suffering. But for those who drink from it on
earth, the Cup of Christ grants participation in Christ's Kingdom It
prepares for them the thrones of eternal glory in heaven. We stand in
silence before the Cup of Christ, nor can any man complain about it or
reject it; for He who commanded us to taste it, first drank of it
Himself.
O tree of knowledge of good and evil! You killed our ancestors in
Paradise, you deceived them by the delusions of sensual pleasure and
the delusions of reason. Christ, the Redeemer of the fallen, brought
his Cup of Salvation into this world, to the fallen and to those who
are exiled from Paradise. The bitterness of this Cup cleanses the
heart from forbidden, destructive and sinful pleasure; through the
humility that flows from it in abundance, the pride of understanding
on the carnal level is mortified. To him who drinks from the Cup with
faith and patience, the eternal life which was and still is lost to
him by his tasting of forbidden fruit will be restored.
I will accept the Cup of Christ, the cup of salvation. (cf. Ps.
116:13)
The Cup is accepted when the Christian bears earthly tribulation in
the spirit of humility learnt from the Gospel. St. Peter turned
swiftly with a naked sword to defend the God-Man, Who was surrounded
by evil doers; but Jesus said to Peter: "Put up thy sword into the
sheath: the cup which my Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it?"
(John 18:11). So, too, when disaster surrounds you, you should
comfort and strengthen your soul, saying, "The Cup which my Father
hath given me, shall I not drink it?" The Cup is bitter: at first
sight all human reasoning is confounded. Surmount reason by faith and
drink courageously from the bitter Cup: it is the Father Who gives it
to you, He who is all good and all wise. It is neither the Pharisees,
nor Caiaphas, nor Judas who prepared the Cup; it is neither Pilate nor
his soldiers who give it! "The cup which my Father hath given me;
shall I not drink it?"
Pharisees think evil, Judas betrays, Pilate orders the unlawful
killing, the soldiers of the government execute his order. Through
their evil deeds all these prepared their own true perdition. Do not
prepare for yourself just such a perdition by remembering evil, by
longing for and dreaming of revenge, and by indignation against your
enemies. The heavenly Father is almighty and all-seeing. He sees your
affliction, and if He had found it necessary and profitable to
withdraw the Cup from you, He would certainly have done so.
The Lord-as the Scriptures and Church history testify-has often
allowed afflictions to befall His beloved, and often warded off
afflictions from them, in accordance with the unfathomable ways of
Providence. When you are faced with the Cup, turn your gaze from the
people who gave it to you; lift up your eyes to Heaven and say: "The
Cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?"
"I will take the cup of salvation." I cannot reject the Cup, the
promise of heavenly and eternal good. The Apostle of Christ teaches
me patience when he says: ...we must through much tribulation enter
into the Kingdom of God (Acts 14:22). How can we reject the Cup which
is the means of attaining this Kingdom and growing with it? I will
accept the Cup-the gift of God. For the Cup of Christ is the gift of
God. The great Paul writes to the Philippians: For unto you is given
in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer
for His sake (Phil. 1:29).
You receive the Cup which seemingly comes from the hand of man. What
is it to you whether the bearer of the Cup acts righteously or
unrighteously? As a follower of Jesus, your concern is to act
righteously; to receive the Cup with thanksgiving to God and with a
living faith; and courageously to drink it to the dregs.
In receiving the Cup from the hand of man, remember it is the Cup of
Him Who is not only innocent but all-holy. Thinking on this, remind
yourself and other suffering sinners of the words that the blessed and
enlightened thief spoke when he was crucified on the right hand of the
crucified God-Man: We receive the due reward of our deeds... Lord,
remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom (Luke 23:41-42). And
then, turning to the people, you will say to them: Blessed are you who
are instruments of righteousness and of God's mercy, blessed are you
from henceforth and for ever! (If they are not in a fit state to
understand and receive your words, do not cast your precious pearls of
humility under the feet of those who cannot value them, but say these
words in thought and heart.) By this alone will you fulfill the
commandment of the Gospel which says: Love your enemies, bless them
that curse you... (Matt. 5:44).
Pray to the Lord on behalf of those who have insulted and outraged you
that what they have done for you should be repaid by a temporal
blessing and the eternal reward of salvation, an that, when they stand
before Christ to be judged, it should be counted to them as if it had
been an act of virtue. Although your heart does not wish to act in
this way, compel it to do so: because only those who do violence to
their own heart in fulfilling the commandments of the Gospel can
inherit Heaven.
If you have not the will to act in this way, then you have not the
will to be a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Look deep within
yourself and consider searchingly: have you not found another teacher,
the teacher of hatred-the devil-and fallen under his power?
It is a terrible transgression to offend or to oppress one's neighbor:
it is a most terrible transgression to commit murder. But whoever
hates his oppressor, his slanderer, his betrayer, his murderer, and
whoever thinks ill of them and takes revenge on them, commits a sin
very near to their sin. In vain does he pretend to himself and others
that he is righteous. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer of
man, proclaimed St. John, the beloved disciple of Christ (I John
3:15).
A living faith in Christ teaches one to receive the Cup of Christ, and
the Cup of Christ inspires hope in the heart of him who receives it;
and hope in Christ gives strength and consolation to the heart. What
torment, what torment of hell, to complain or to murmur against the
Cup that is pre-ordained from above! Murmuring, impatience,
faint-heartedness and especially despair are sins before God-they are
the ugly children of sinful disbelief.
It is sinful to complain of neighbors when they are the instruments of
our suffering; still more sinful is it when we cry out against the Cup
that comes down to us straight from Heaven, from the right hand of
God. But he who drinks the cup with thanksgiving to God and blessings
on his neighbor, achieves holy serenity, the grace of the peace of
Christ. It is as if already he enjoys God's spiritual Paradise.
Temporal suffering has no importance in itself: we lend it
significance because of our attachment to the earth and to all
corruptible things, and through our coldness towards Christ and
eternity. You are prepared to bear the bitter and repellent taste of
medicines: to bear the painful amputation and cauterization of your
limbs; to bear the long drawn out suffering of hunger, and prolonged
seclusion in your room; you are prepared to bear all this to restore
lost health to your body, which after it is healed will certainly
become ill again, and will certainly die and become corrupt. Bear,
then, the bitterness of the Cup of Christ which brings healing and
eternal beatitude to your immortal soul.
If the Cup appears to you to be unbearable, deadly, then it reveals
that although you bear Christ's name, you do not belong to Christ. For
the true followers of Christ, the Cup of Christ is the Cup of joy.
Thus the holy apostles, after having been beaten before the gathering
of the elders of the Jews, went out from the presence of the council
rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for the Name
of the Lord Jesus (Acts 5:40-41).
Righteous Job heard bitter news. Tiding after tiding came to pierce
his steadfast heart; the last of these was the hardest-all his sons
and daughters had been struck down suddenly by a cruel and violent
death. In his great sorrow, he rent his clothes and covered his head
with ashes. And then in submissive faith he fell down upon the
ground, and worshipped the Lord saying, I myself came naked from my
mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, the
Lord has taken away: as it seemed good to the Lord, so has it come to
pass; blessed be the name of the Lord.
Kyrill
HYMN TO GOD.
(Dactylic hexameter.)
St. Gregory of Nazianzus
O Thou, the One Supreme o'er all!22
For by what other name
May we upon Thy greatness call,
Or celebrate Thy fame?
Ineffable! to Thee what speech
Can hymns of honour raise?
Ineffable! what tongue can reach
The measure of Thy praise?
How, unapproached, shall mind of man
Descry Thy dazzling throne;
And pierce, and find Thee out, and scan,
Where Thou dost dwell alone?
Unuttered Thou! all uttered things
Have had their birth from Thee:
The One unknown! from Thee the springs
Of all we know and see!
Mindful, and mindless, all things yield
To Thy parental sway
For Thou to all art life and shield:
They honour and obey.
For round Thee centre all the woes
Of night and darkling day,
The common wants and common throes;
And all to Thee do pray.
And all things as they move along
In order fixed by Thee,
Thy watchword heed, in silent song
Hymning Thy majesty.
And lo! all things abide in Thee,
And through the complex whole,
Thou spread'st Thine own Divinity,
Thyself of all the goal.
One Being Thou, all things, yet none,
Nor one nor yet all things;
How call Thee, O mysterious One?
A worthy name who brings?
All-named from attributes Thine own,
How call Thee as we ought?
Thou art unlimited, alone,
Beyond the range of thought.
What heaven-born intellect shall rend
The veiling clouds above?
Be Thou propitious! ever send
Bright tokens of Thy love!
O Thou the One Supreme o'er all!
For by what other name
May we upon Thy greatness call,
Or celebrate Thy fame?

Ati spus un mare adevar. Europa este cu ochii pe acesti infractori impotriva

acolo reiese ca de fapt Hristos a fost yogin, care a incercat sa-i invete pe
oameni ce inseamna iubirea aproapelui si pacea prin metoda purificarii cu
amaroli. Popii ortodoxi manifesta apucaturi de neandertali, comit violuri, bat
lumea, pedofilii BOR corup minori si sexual si cu minciunile lor sfruntate,
fura de la biserici, isi bat joc si de morminte caci unii au facut fac iarna cu

Yoga in Romania e privita ca ceva demonic, in vest e un lux pe
care nu oricine si-l permite ( o ora de yoga costa o gramada de parai).
La fel ca si in domeniul sanatatii, doar ce favorizati au acces la aceste lucruri.
Yoga a fost deformata in Romania de catre biserica si agentii ei.
Cand se va ajunge ca o ora de yoga sa coste in Romania 40 de euro,
altfel va fi privita de catre populatie.
La fel si cu biserica. Coleta sa fie 10 euro pe cap,
plus biserica sa fie deschisa doar 3 ore duminica si de sarbatori,
sa aibe formatii rock bisericesti in cadrul festivitatilor
altfel va fi privita de romani; va fi un business ca oricare pravalie
sau spital.

Brightness of the Father's glory,
Spread the splendor of Thy light;
Radiant Fountain, Dayspring dawning,
Banish now the shades of night!
O true Sun, arise within us,
Shining with Thy steady beam;
O plant deep within our senses
God the Holy Spirit's flame!
God the Father, too, we worship,
Father of all-powerful grace;
Glorious Father everlasting,
From our hearts all treason chase!
Breathe Thy mighty strength within us,
Break the pride of Satan's power;
Turn our hardships into triumphs;
Grant us wisdom every hour.
Guide our minds, uphold our thinking,
Keep our limbs for service fit;
Feed our faith with love's pure burning,
Purged from malice and deceit.
Christ our Lord, be bread for eating;
Faith, our wine for drinking be:
May we taste the joyous Spirit,
Drunk with His sobriety!
May this new day pass in gladness,
Modest like the dawn's fresh bloom,
Faith like midday shining brightly,
Thoughts untouched by evening gloom.
Now the dawn with splendor rises;
Jesus is our only Dawn:
Son unveiled by heavenly Father,
Father in the Logos known.

BOR a fost intodeauna o agentura comunista. In timpul razboiului prin biserica
rusa ortodoxa au mijlocit infiltrarea agentilor NKVDisti in Romania ca sa
spioneze si sa saboteze armata romana.
In timpul ocupatiei rusesti, popii BOR au fost sprijinitori entusiasti ai
colectivizarilor si nationalizarilor. Indemnau populatia la docilitate si la
supunere si turnau tot ce aflau la spovedit.
In sat la noi cind veneau de la oras securistii sa bata oamenii sa intre in

Semnul crucii este noua
Scutul cel mantuitor
Care departeaza raul
Si ne da la toate spor.
Deci sa facem cum se cade
Crestinescul nostru semn,
Caci vrajmasii fug atuncea
Ca de preacinstitul lemn.
Iar acei ce bat in cobza
Si pe cruce o ingana,
Au samanta necredintei
Si pecete rea la mana!
N-au evlavie in suflet,
Nici rusine la obraz
Plecaciune nu pot face
Ca-i "boierul pe grumaz"!
Domnul cerurile pleaca
Pentru neamul omenesc,
Iar la El sa-si plece capul-
Multi crestini nu se silesc.
El intinde sus pe cruce
Mainile dumnezeesti,
Tu macar a face "semnul"
Omule nu te silesti.
El ne mantuie crestine
Savarsindu-Se pe lemn,
Iara tu socoti rusine
Ca sa faci al crucii semn!

HYMN TO CHRIST
(Anapaestic dimeter)
O Thou, the King of saints, all-conquering Word,
Son of the Highest, wisdom's Fount and Lord,
The prop that doth uphold through toil and pain;
The joy of ages through immortal reign;
Yet born of mortal flesh for life's brief span,
O Saviour Jesus, Shepherd, Husbandman;
Helm Thou to guide, and bridle to restrain,
Wing of the holy flock that heaven would gain;
Catcher of men from evil's whelming sea,
The holy fishes, saved that are to be,
Drawn from the billowy deep with sweetest lure
Of life that shall for evermore endure:
O holiest Shepherd of enlightened sheep,
Lead Thou Thy flock the upward heavenly steep:
O King of holy children, lead the way,
And pure may they both follow and obey!
Thou art, O Christ, the living heavenly Way,
The ever-flowing Word, unchanging Day,
Songs and Hymns of the Earliest Greek Christian Poets
Eternal Light, and mercy's healthful Spring;
The Perfecter of every virtuous thing;
Pure Life of all the happy ransomed throng
Who hymn their God through all the ages long:
The heavenly milk, from holy breasts that flows,
By which the infant Church in wisdom grows,
And graces rare, as it befits the Bride,
Adorned, O Jesu Christ, for Thine own side.
Thy feeble children gather with sweet smile,
To sing with holy mouth, and free from guile,
Thyself, in songs and praises without end,
The children's leader, and the children's friend.
O little children, thus so gently led,
So tenderly with truth and reason fed,
And filled with the Holy Spirit's dew,
Our hymns and praises feeble, yet all true,
In grateful homage unto Christ the King,
Who taught us life, let us together sing:
A peaceful choir, Christ-born, and undefiled,
A people wise, sing we the strong-born child;
Sing we with heart and voice, and never cease
To praise with one accord the God of Peace!

TO HIS OWN SOUL
(Iambic dimeter catalectic.)
O soul of mine, repining,
What wouldst have done for thee?
Speak, great or small defining:
Granted thy wish shall be.
Of all bright things, prized highest,
Beneath the rolling sun,
Tell that for which thou sighest;
For thee it shall be done.
Wouldst thou assume the measure
Of Gyges, Lydia's king,
To hide or show at pleasure
By power of magic ring?
Wouldst thou rich Midas follow?
"All gold I touch," he cried:
'Tis given! e'en gold to swallow:
So all of gold he died.
Wouldst shine in brilliant trammels,
With pearls and jewels grand?
Have flocks, and herds, and camels,
And acres of fat land?
Such things we will not barter:
To thee they were a snare:
They are not in our charter,
Nor would I have them there.
For since to God advancing
I came at His own call,
Such cares the soul entrancing,
I have abandoned all.
Wouldst have the nations bending
Beneath thy yoke to day,
To-morrow thyself lending
To grace another's sway?
The sway of one, once marching,
It might be, at thy side;
Or menial base, now arching
His neck in lofty pride?
Wouldst thou in Love's sweet anguish,
In indolence and ease,
Let truth and honour languish,
And change with changing breeze?
Wouldst wed a fair Heth's daughter,
Fair progeny to see?
Ah me! of woes and slaughter
Progenitor to be!
Wouldst have the commons sounding
The greatness of thy fame,
And theatres rebounding
With echoes of thy name?
Wouldst thou in courts o'erflowing
With legal mockery,
Justice and truth o'erthrowing,
Pillage, and pillaged be?
Wouldst take a martial bearing,
And sport with blood and gore?
Or, Pythian garlands wearing,
Defy the lion's roar?
Wouldst have the town applauding,
And statues reared to thee?
The world thy merits lauding,
Wouldst thou its idol be?
Vain wish! a shadowy dreaming,
A moan of wind hence bound,
Whiz of an arrow gleaming,
A hand-clap's dying sound.
Such things will fade to-morrow,
However bright to-day:
And he must sleep in sorrow
Who makes them his heart's stay.
Toys common! bad men's heaven!
And ah! when hence they go,
To none is it then given
To carry aught below.
What then, O soul repining,
Since these things nothing be,
Substantial good defining,
Wouldst thou have done for thee?
Wouldst be a god, presiding
At God's own side most high,
Angelic chorus guiding,
All radiant o'er the sky?
Go thou, on pinions gliding
Of vehement desire,
On rapid whirlwind riding
Whither thou dost aspire.
To plume thy wing I'm trying,
Nor spare the friendly goad:
Mount upward, bird-like flying
On thine ethereal road.
But earth's own child on crutches,
Since, I am yoked to thee,
As queen in butchers' clutches,
Just tell how this must be;
Whom wilt thou have abettor,
To be upheld in breath?
For I'm no more thy debtor,
Nor heed vain threats of death.
Or wouldst thou perfumed table,
With dainties covered o'er,
So art cuisine be able
To stimulate thee more?
And lyre, and whirl so maddening
Of rapid foot and hand,
And things to tell too saddening,
Known to the revelling band?
Art thou for such things wrangling?
Have thy desire!--but wait:
Such things, not life, but strangling,
To friends insatiate!
For thee, a house abideth,
A rock with self-formed dome;
Nature herself provideth:
We give thee such a home!
Or if thy fancy leadeth
To build thyself a cell,
But little toil it needeth,
Where thou mayst safely dwell,
The body claims small payment,
Ere it returns to dust:
Skins, camel's hair, for raiment
Sufficed of old the just.
And grass, or straw, as chances,
Make thou thy humble bed:
And purple heath, or branches,
Thy coverlet be spread.
Such for my guests is meetest:
No fear to great or small:
Plain table: odours sweetest,
Kind earth's free gifts to all.
Thus housed, we will thee nourish,
As best we can afford:
Wouldst eat? take bread and flourish:
Take meal, if on the board.
Here's salt: and thyme we scant not:
Such source no toil requires:
More luxuries we want not,
Whate'er the world desires.
Or drink wouldst thou? there springeth
An everflowing bowl:
No bane the fountain bringeth,
Bright cheerer of the soul.
But wouldst unbend in season,
And not, o'erstrained, repine?
We grant in this is reason,
Nor grudge the rough-made wine.
But thou dost spurn all measure,
And wouldst the vessel bore,
And take huge draughts of pleasure
Till thou couldst hold no more.
Then seek another helot,
All lengths with thee to go,
No idler I, nor zealot,
To nurse domestic foe.
A frozen reptile taken,
And with fond warmth caressed:
See! it to life doth waken,
And wound me in the breast.
Wouldst boundless gold-roofed mansions,
Gemmed paragons of art,
And master-piece expansions,
To life which almost start?
Colours with colours blending
In opposite array;
Rare tablets, softness lending,
Or shining bright as day?
Dost long for robes wide-flowing,
Pride of the untouched great;
And wealth on fingers glowing,
Incredible to state?
Art thou at beauty aiming?
The wise would scorn to win:
More I than all, proclaiming
That beauty is within.
Thus I to men benighted,
of earth the creatures fond,
For time alone quick-sighted,
With not a thought beyond.
But ye who soar up higher,
A noble life to live;
Who would to heaven be nigher,
Behold what God doth give!
In poorest clay there dwelleth
That which can never die:
With this my bosom swelleth:
For this I food supply!
God-minded, thyself harden!
Meet calm the flashing sword!
Plant trees for God's own garden!
Be worker, with the Lord!
Up! living words be building,
In God's blest truth secure.
Not robbed by foe's false gilding
Through pleasure's baneful lure!
Again of life eternal,
Approach the blessèd tree
The way, O Thou Supernal,
I've found in knowing Thee.
Past, present, never-ending,
The One great Light in Three;
To whom all things are tending:
To Thee, all glory be!
EPILOGUE.
To self the wise thus speaketh,
Turning his eyes within;
And eager there he seeketh
To find out lurking sin.
But who to speak refuseth,
Will pass his days in vain:
Nay, more! the ease he chooseth,
May end in greatest pain.

sins, hatred of righteousness, ruin of virtues, poison of the soul,
worm of the mind, shame of prayer, cessation of supplication,
estrangement of love, a nail stuck in the soul, pleasureless feeling
cherished in the sweetness of bitterness, continuous sin, unsleeping
transgression, hourly malice.

...it is impossible for us to become reconciled and united with God,
if we do not first return to ourselves, as far as it lies in our
power, or if we do not enter within ourselves, tearing ourselves -
what a wonder it is! - from the whirl of the world with its
multitudinous vain cares and striving constantly to keep attention on
the kingdom of heaven which is within us.

Esti pe dos bre Rino, ca societatea romaneasca e o societate dinamica. La ora
actuala romanii se misca mai repede ca americanii, crezi sau nu. Fa numai
comparatie intre ce era acum 15 ani in magazine, si ce-i acu'! Degeaba se caca
unii pe ei ca magazinele e pline dar nu cumpara nimeni, ca nu-i adevarat. Se
plinge romanul ca n-are una sau alta, dar celularu' nu-i lipseste, dupa

Credinta noastra
”Iubiţilor, nu daţi crezare oricărui duh, ci cercaţi duhurile dacă
sunt de la Dumnezeu, fiindcă mulţi prooroci mincinoşi au ieşit în
lume.” (I Ioan 4:1)
Minunat lucru este atunci cand Sfantul Duh incepe sa aduca pe cineva
la corabia cea mantuitoare a sfintei Sale Biserici. In vremuri precum
acestea avem trebuinta a sti unde se gaseste adevarul, unde exista
dragostea si unde este urmata calea ce duce la viata. Pentru aceasta
si mai multe, cineva isi afla drumul catre stravechea Biserica
Ortodoxa a lui Iisus Hristos.
Totusi, cand cineva intra astazi in Biserica Ortodoxa, trebuie sa
realizeze ca noi suntem crestinii ortodocsi ai vremurilor de pe urma.
Precum Irod a incercat sa il omoare pe Iisus pe cand era doar un
prunc, la fel, inima ta de prunc va fi confruntata cu aceasta noua
atractie. Afara se gasesc curse, si capcane dinauntru. Deci trebuie sa
fim intemeiati, trezvitori si increzatori purtarii de grija a lui
Dumnezeu asupra acestei vieti noi, pe masura ce purcedem. Spre a ne fi
de ajutor in aceasta calatorie, de o valoare nepretuita ne este un soi
de harta duhovniceasca, o tabla de navigare. Ea ne descrie
fundamentele Credintei precum si lucruri ce sunt atacate in vremurile
noastre moderne. Fie ca sa nu invatam aceste lucruri doar in teorie,
ci ca ele sa se inradacineze si in adancul lucrarii noastre, in
practica.
In aceasta viata, un crestin trebuie sa aleaga ce cale va urma. Pur si
simplu, cineva alege fie sa ii urmeze Crucii lui Hristos, fie sa
urmeze calea lumii. Calea Crucii va aduce, netagaduit, multe suferinte
in afara si in launtru asupra unui suflet, dar durerea aceasta va fi
adumbrita de bucuria duhovniceasca de a fi cu Hristos. Lumea isi ofera
si ea bucuriile, dar ele nu tin mult si dau curs remuscarii launtrice
a constiintei, care ne aduce aminte ca, desi ne putem numi crestini,
nu suntem cu adevarat cu Hristos daca alegem placerile acestei lumi in
locul Crucii lui Hristos. Inca, poate cea mai mare suferinta dintre
toate vine de la starea de a „sede pe gard”, in care nazuinta noastra
pentru Hristos este neutralizata de o dragoste pentru lume, care lasa
o persoana handicapata duhovniceste si neputincioasa a savarsi
lucrarea lui Dumnezeu.
Prin urmare, trebuie sa ne reamintim ca ne putem implini doar atunci
cand urmam calea „Ortodoxiei Patimitoare”. Spre a ne duce povara pe
aceasta cale ingusta, avem o busola prin care putem aprecia directia
catre care mergem – Cele Cinci Principii ale credintei .
Cele Cinci Principii de Credinta
Este esential la pornirea intr-o calatorie nu numai a cunoaste
destinatia, ci si a avea o lista pentru a afla masura unui inceput.
Cele ce urmeaza sunt cinci domenii in care cautam sa fim credinciosi,
pentru a ne asigura ca ceea ce urmam este cu adevarat credinta
ortodoxa a Apostolilor si nu un inlocuitor la moda, atat de raspandit
in vremurile noastre.
1. Credem... in fidelitate HRISTOLOGICA – credinciosie fata de Iisus
Hristos. Temelia Bisericii este Domnul Iisus Hristos. Multe din cele
petrecute in timpul primelor opt veacuri ale crestinatatii au asezat
primele straturi ale Bisericii cu tarie asupra Pietrei Domnului Iisus
Hristos. Apostolii, urmasii lor (numiti Parintii Apostolici) si
Parintii Sinoadelor Ecumenice au definit cu exactitate cine este
Hristos pentru posteritate, pana la sfarsitul lumii. Ne inchinam lui
Iisus Hristos in adevar deplin ca realitate istorica si Dumnezeu
intrupat, Care este accesibil Crestinilor prin adevarul unei inimi
iubitoare, pocaite. Ne inchinam lui Hristos in Sfanta Treime, stiind
ca descoperirea Trei-unimii lui Dumnezeu este cea mai inalta
descoperire a Esentei cu neputinta de cunoscut a lui Dumnezeu care a
fost data omenirii, si ca nici una dintre religiile pamantului nu
cuprinde aceasta taina, precum o face Credinta in Hristos. Orice
„revelatii” care nu se ridica la masura acestor adevaruri – intruparea
lui Dumnezeu in Hristos, si transcendenta desavarsita a revelatiei
Treimice – sunt false. Ele sunt lipsite de o inrudire autentica cu
Mantuitorul nostru. Ele ne despart de inchinarea la adevaratul
Dumnezeu in Treime; in vreme ce Tainele ne unesc cu El si ne dau
putinta de a trai intru El.
2. Credem... in fidelitate APOSTOLICA – credinciosie fata de Apostoli.
Cand Domnul Iisus Hristos si-a trimis Apostolii, El le-a explicat,
Cine vă primeşte pe voi pe Mine Mă primeşte, şi cine Mă primeşte pe
Mine primeşte pe Cel ce M-a trimis pe Mine (Matei 10:40). A fi
credinciosi Apostolilor inseamna a crede in ceea ce Apostolii ne-au
inmanat in intregul context al experientei lor pamantesti. Ceea ce a
fost bun si drept pentru ei este iubit credintei urmasilor lor, pana
in vremurile noastre. Succesiunea apostolica in hirotonire este
transmiterea spirituala a harului apostolic, dar nu este una
„automata” in afara Ortodoxiei: ea trebuie sa fie o succesiune de
ierarhi ce au Orto-doxia credintei, ce sunt legati de deplinatatea
intelegerii ortodoxe a crestinismului. Astfel, ea trebuie inmanata de
la o inima plina de adevar catre alta, aducand cu sine puterea
apostoleasca care elibereaza o persoana.
3. Credem... in fidelitate TRADITIONALA – credinciosie fata de
Traditiile inmanate de Iisus Hristos, Apostolii Sai si urmasii lor. In
2 Tesaloniceni 2:15, Sfantul Apostol Pavel i-a invatat pe tesaloniceni
sa stea neclintiti si sa tina predaniile [Traditiile] pe care le-aţi
învăţat, fie prin cuvânt, fie prin epistola noastră. Chiar si la o
asemenea data timpurie a perioadei Apostolice, se face referinta la
doua surse ale Traditiei: orala (prin cuvant) si scrisa (prin
epistola). Aceste doua aspecte ale Traditiei alcatuiesc ceea ce se
numeste astazi Sfanta Traditie. Sursa scrisa este Sfanta Scriptura.
Cea orala este ceea ce ne-a fost inmanat de la Parintii Bisericii,
catre copiii lor duhovnicesti, gasita indeosebi in crezuri, canoane,
slujbele liturgice, vietile sfintilor si scrierile Sfintilor Parinti.
Din aceste doua surse mai vedem ca exista o deosebire intre datina
omeneasca (cf. Matei 15:3) si traditia apostoleasca. Apostolii si-au
bazat traditia pe ceea ce au primit de la Iisus Hristos, Domnul
Dumnezeul si Mantuitorul. Scriind referitor la taina Sfintei
Impartasanii, in I Corinteni 11:23, Sf. Pavel ne descopera, Căci eu de
la Domnul am primit ceea ce v-am dat şi vouă, si continua prin a
descrie Sfanta Impartasanie. Se refera la aceasta in versetul intai al
aceluiasi capitol: tinerea predaniilor [Traditiilor] cum vi le-am dat.
Aceasta credinciosie fata de traditie se refera la intregul cuprins al
crestinismului fundamental, ce include Sfintele Scripturi, teologia,
practica liturgica, icoanele (care provin din vremurile apostolice),
studiul vietilor sfintilor (ce se gaseste in Evrei capitolul 11 si se
continua de-a lungul istoriei Bisericii), studiul Sfintilor Parinti si
a invataturilor lor etc. Aceasta credinciosie fata de traditie se afla
astazi nu doar in lucruri ce se regasesc si in alte corpuri ortodoxe,
ci si in aspecte distinctive, precum cel de a nu avea banci in
bisericile noastre, in pastrarea stravechiului fel de inchinare, in
urmarea calendarului iulian (acelasi cu cel folosit in vremea lui
Hristos si a Apostolilor Sai) etc.
Cu alte cuvinte, spre a fi credinciosi Traditiei Bisericii
Apostolesti, Ortodoxe, refuzam sa ne lasam intimidati de moda
vremurilor noastre. Preferam sa fim partasi la Crucea Mantuitorului
nostru, in orice masura, doar ca sa fim gasiti credinciosi fata de
ceea ce ne-a fost inmanat. Cand ne aflam in deplinatatea Traditiei (in
opozitie cu traditiile oamenilor, care sunt roadele caderii acestei
lumi), mostenim nu doar Traditia insasi, ci si o abordare a Traditiei
care este smerita, iubitoare, simpla si sobra. Fiind in duhul
Traditiei, vom putea sa o aparam impotriva arbitrariului invataturilor
omenesti greselnice.
4. Credem... in fidelitate DE TRANSMITERE – credinciosie fata de cei
ce ne-au inmanat acesta sfanta Credinta. Tinand de aceasta, Sfanta
Traditie nu poate fi re-creata, reinventata sau imitata, asa cum multi
au incercat sa savarseasca doar prin studierea cartilor. Este primita
prin Transmitere personala. Credinciosia transmiterii pastreaza
legatura vie care ne-a inmanat acesta sfanta Credinta. Va aflati
intr-o legatura directa cu cei ce au fost invatati si calauziti de
sfinti. Ceea ce am primit provine de la crestinatatea patimitoare. A
zamislit sfinti in timpurile recente. Este acel crestinism care a dat
tarie la milioane spre a deveni mucenici in acest ultim secol. Credem
ca trebuie sa ne luptam a pastra si a transmite altora acea dragoste
dintai, pe care ei au pricinuit-o in noi. Fidelitatea de transmitere
este ceea ce primim ca de la parinte la fiu. Tatal, ca fiinta
omeneasca, poate gresi, cadea, poate fi incurcat sau nestiutor, dar
fiul, daca ramane intr-un duh de dragoste cumpatata, fiiasca,
dobandeste de la el esenta sau continutul a ceea ce este de trebuinta
ca sa adereze la deplinatatea adevarului. Aceasta fidelitate da
putinta cuiva sa urmeze ceea ce este adevarat si bun in invatatorul
sau, in timp ce este de acord ca are limitari omenesti. Este precum un
cablu electric ce ingaduie harului sa fie transmis in deplinatate.
Cand, pe de alta parte, cineva incearca cu mandrie sa revizuiasca ceea
ce a fost transmis, prevalandu-si opinia fata de nedesavarsirea
transmiterii, atunci acela isi taie articulatia cu osul care il
sustine in Trupul lui Hristos. In zilele de pe urma, Domnul nostru
Iisus Hristos a spus ca iubirea multora se va răci (Matei 24:12)
datorita faradelegii si a batjocurilor. A avea o dragoste indrazneata,
staruitoare este un lucru esential in aceste vremuri de relatii
nestatornice. Sfantul Pavel ii scria ucenicului si apostolului
Timotei: Suferă împreună cu mine, ca un bun ostaş al lui Hristos
Iisus, si iarasi, Nu te ruşina de a mărturisi pe Domnul nostru, nici
de mine, cel pus în lanţuri pentru El, ci pătimeşte împreună cu mine
pentru Evanghelie după puterea de la Dumnezeu (2 Timotei 2:3, 1:8).
Spre a pastra dragostea noastra cea dintai, acestea sunt atitudinile
launtrice ce trebuie cultivate in aceste vremuri.
5. Credem... in fidelitate ESTETICA (Filocalica) – credinciosie fata
de frumusetea adevarului si bunatatii, asa cum se gaseste in
intelepciunea ascunsa a Domnului nostru Iisus Hristos. Aceasta e ceea
ce ne ajuta in a obtine adevarul pretios din subintelesul a ceea ce ni
se da. In launtrul fiecarui suflet sanatos salasluieste un taram
dumnezeiesc al personalitatii omenesti, care prin insasi esenta sa
tanjeste dupa Dumnezeu, precum o planta se intinde catre soare.
Aceasta voce interioara de o constienta negraita in fiecare individ
tanjeste dupa Dumnezeire si Frumusete divina. Este vîna estetica care
a fost asezata in om de catre Ziditor pentru ca omul sa poata arata
credinciosie catre ceea ce este neprihanit, ideal, plin de frumusete
si dreptate. Sf. Ignatie Briancianinov spunea: „Cel ce nu simte ca
Imparatia lui Dumnezeu este inauntrul sufletului sau nu va recunoaste
duhul antihristului” cand va veni. Acesta este diapazonul sufletului.
Da putinta cuiva sa spuna cand ceva nu este in acord cu Hristos.
Raspunde cu un glas al adevarului atunci cand cineva vede sau aude
ceva in armonie cu Ziditorul si Adevarul Sau. Fidelitatea estetica
este legatura ce tine o persoana, facuta dupa imaginea lui Dumnezeu,
la un loc cu restul creatiei si cu Dumnezeu Insusi, Autorul
Frumusetii.
Precum o planta se ofileste si se descompune atunci cand este
dezradacinata adesea, la fel cand oamenii se dezradacineaza, isi pierd
frumusetea si harul. O data ce cineva, de pilda, a fost botezat in
Numele Tatalui, si al Fiului, si al Sfantului Duh, prin intreita
cufundare, nu va avea o atitudine superficiala asupra acestui fapt si
nu va pleca sa-si caute o noua biserica. A intrat intru Una, Sfanta,
Soborniceasca si Apostoleasca Biserica prin Botezul cel Unul. Acum va
fi inradacinat si va tine rod pentru Dumnezeu. Inainte de a veni in
Biserica lui Hristos, el cauta pe cai multe si diferite la orizontala.
Dar o data botezat, acest fel de cautare a luat sfarsit. Acum cautarea
este verticala, ascendenta, catre ceruri. Cauta caile de a-si multumi
Ziditorul si a-si infrumuseta sufletul cu insusiri dumnezeiesti numite
virtuti; se investmanteaza in Lumina lui Hristos. Cei care cer
fidelitate fata de organizatiile omenesti au inceput sa paseasca de la
calea acestor Cinci Fidelitati. Duhurile partizane incep sa dicteze
atunci cand oamenii au incetat sa mai pastreze frumusetea Adevarului
lui Hristos in inimile lor. Ideea „ultra-conservatori contra
ultra-liberali” este neortodoxa. Sfintii Parinti invata calea de
mijloc ca fiind Calea cea Imparateasca. Aceste Cinci Fidelitati dau
putinta unui suflet sa gaseasca calea imparateasca in mijlocul apelor
involburate ale acestor vremuri pline de necazuri.
In timp ce porniti in aceasta calatorie sfanta si preaminunata,
aduceti-va aminte de Cel ce se gaseste la carma corabiei. Domnul
nostru Iisus Hristos a venit in lume ca sa ii mantuiasca pe cei
pacatosi, dintre care eu sunt cel dintai. Aceste Cinci Fidelitati
lucreaza precum niste faruri, ca noi sa putem sta departe de stancile
primejdioase. Incredeti-va Carmaciului sufletelor noastre, Iisus
Hristos, si fie ca El sa va aduca in siguranta in Slavita Sa
Imparatie. Amin.
