Uskrsnja poruka oca Petra-Easter message from Fr. Petar

Hristos Vaskrse! Svake godine, draga braco i sestre, cekamo radosno da nas svestenik kad izadje na Uskrs kroz carske dveri pozdravi sa Hristos Vaskrse! Na Uskrs dozivljavamo slavu i svetost dana. Slusamo slavnu Hristovu poruku! Na Uskrs je Bog sva obecanja ispunio. Hristos je dosao! On je smrcu smrt pobedio! Doneo nam je kroz Sveto Vaskrsenje zivot vecni! On je porusio sve prepreke koje ruse slogu medju ljudima i sve prepreke koje stoje izmedju coveka i Boga. Uskrs nas upucuje da razmisljamo kako bi svet lepo izgledao izmiren sa sobom i Bogom. Ne bi bilo ratova, sukoba, sile nad slabima, rascepa medju generacijama, razbijene porodice... Izmirenje donosi mir i ljubav, osecanje da svaki covek vidi sebe u drugom, i da je svaki jedan u Bogu. To je velika poruka uskrsnja i ove godine, koju treba da primenimo u svom zivotu da bismo imali zivot vecni.
Sa uskrsnjim pozdravom - Hristos Vaskrse!
Prota Petar sa porodicom

Christ is Risen! Each year dear brothers and sisters, as the date of Easter comes, we await in our churches for the joyous moment when the priest comes through the royal door and makes the great announcement that Christ is Risen! What a glorious and most holy day! What a glorious message of Christ! On Easter all promises of God have been fulfilled: Christ has come! He has crushed death through His death. He brought to us everlasting life through His Resurrection. He has broken down the barriers among ourselves, and the barriers between man and God. Imagine the whole world reconciled: No more wars, conflicts, superiority over the other, gaps between generations, broken homes, etc. It is the Reconciliation that brings peace and love, feelings of being one with every man, and one with God. And that is the glorious message of every Easter to be applied to our lives. With Easterly greetings - Christ is Risen!
Father Petar with family
