Seara duhovniceasc\u0103 din cadrul programului \u201eCercet\u00e2ndu-\u021bi credin\u021ba\u201d a lunii ianuarie s-a desf\u0103\u0219urat pe canalul de Youtube al m\u0103n\u0103stirii, tema fiind Sf\u00e2nta Cruce<\/strong>.<\/p>

\"\"\nCrucea ca dar<\/strong>, pe care ni L-a adus Mesia, se reg\u0103se\u0219te \u00een cuvintele Sf\u00e2ntului Vasile cel Mare: \u201e\u0218i pogor\u00e2ndu-Se prin Cruce \u00een iad, ca s\u0103 plineasc\u0103 toate ale Sale, a dezlegat durerile mor\u021bii, \u00eenviind a treia zi \u0219i cale f\u0103c\u00e2nd oric\u0103rui trup spre \u00eenviere.\u201d Adic\u0103, \u00een cuvintele Arhimandritului Zaharia Zaharou: \u201eEl a umplut \u00eentreg universul cu energia Sa dumnezeiasc\u0103, a\u0219a \u00eenc\u00e2t noi, f\u0103pturile omene\u0219ti, s\u0103-L putem \u00eent\u00e2lni pe Hristos \u00een toate condi\u021biile, \u00een toate \u00eemprejur\u0103rile acestei vie\u021bi. Fie \u00een bucurie, fie \u00een iadul chinurilor noastre, El este de fa\u021b\u0103.\u201d Deci, El S-a pogor\u00e2t at\u00e2t de mult, p\u00e2n\u0103 la iad, astfel \u00eenc\u00e2t, orice om, de la cel mai sf\u00e2nt p\u00e2n\u0103 la cel mai mare p\u0103c\u0103tos s\u0103 fie la fel de aproape de El. Nu exist\u0103 suferin\u021b\u0103 pe care s\u0103 nu o \u00een\u021beleag\u0103.<\/p>

M\u00e2ntuitorul ne ofer\u0103 Crucea din dragoste \u0219i cu dragoste pentru noi. Le spune ucenicilor: \u201eAcum v-am spus acestea \u00eenainte de a se \u00eent\u00e2mpla, ca s\u0103 crede\u0163i c\u00e2nd se vor \u00eent\u00e2mpla\u2026 Dar ca s\u0103 cunoasc\u0103 lumea c\u0103 Eu iubesc pe Tat\u0103l<\/strong> \u0219i precum Tat\u0103l Mi-a poruncit a\u0219a fac\u201d (Ioan 14, 29-31). De\u0219i e paradoxal, asta este crucea prin excelen\u021b\u0103: iubire a M\u00e2ntuitorului pentru Tat\u0103l \u0219i pentru noi. Harul de pe Golgota a fost mai mare dec\u00e2t cel de pe Tabor, fiindc\u0103 pe Cruce avem expresia maximal\u0103 a iubirii lui Dumnezeu pentru om.<\/p>

La Sf\u00e2ntul Apostol Pavel afl\u0103m o modalitate de a ne duce Crucea: \u201eS\u0103 alerg\u0103m cu st\u0103ruin\u0163\u0103 \u00een lupta care ne st\u0103 \u00eenainte. Cu ochii a\u0163inti\u0163i asupra lui Iisus, \u00eencep\u0103torul \u0219i plinitorul credin\u0163ei, Care, pentru bucuria pus\u0103 \u00eenainte-I<\/strong>, a suferit crucea, n-a \u0163inut seama de ocara ei \u0219i a \u0219ezut de-a dreapta tronului lui Dumnezeu\u2026\u201d (Evrei 12, 1-4). Spune despre bucuria pus\u0103 \u00eenainte-I. Dar care era bucuria Sa? Noi, oile cele r\u0103t\u0103cite, al\u0103turi de El, P\u0103storul cel bun. Noi, convin\u0219i c\u0103 El ne iube\u0219te, \u00eentor\u0219i prin poc\u0103in\u021b\u0103 \u00een staul \u0219i dorindu-ne s\u0103 fim cu El. \u0218i av\u00e2nd aceast\u0103 bucurie \u00eenaintea Sa, a mers spre Cruce g\u00e2ndindu-Se c\u0103 noi ne vom smeri, c\u0103 ne vom veni \u00een sine \u0219i vom dori s\u0103 fim cu El \u00een \u00cemp\u0103r\u0103\u021bia Tat\u0103lui.<\/p>

Crucea drept cale o reg\u0103sim la Sfin\u021bii P\u0103rin\u021bi. Sf\u00e2ntul Isaac Sirul zice: \u201eArunc\u0103-te ziua \u0219i noaptea \u00eenaintea Crucii lui Hristos \u0219i atunci \u00ee\u021bi va r\u0103s\u0103ri soarele \u00een\u0103untru \u0219i vei ajunge ca un rai \u00eenflorit.\u201d Atunci c\u00e2nd m\u0103 doare, s\u0103 cuget la M\u00e2ntuitorul pe Cruce. Lu\u0103m \u00een bra\u021be Crucea M\u00e2ntuitorului \u0219i cerem putere de la El ca s\u0103 o ducem. Prin urmare, Crucea e cale \u0219i c\u0103tre Dumnezeu, dar \u0219i c\u0103tre inima noastr\u0103 \u0219i a aproapelui. \u00cenf\u0103\u021bi\u0219eaz\u0103 foarte frumos aceasta poetul Ioan Alexandru \u00eentr-o poezie despre Sf\u00e2ntul \u0218tefan cel Mare: \u201eS\u0103 intri-n inima unui popor \/ Cea mai str\u00e2mt\u0103 poart\u0103 dintre toate \/ De nu e\u0219ti jertf\u0103-n lacrimile lor \/ Nu-i cum p\u0103trunde \u00een eternitate.\u201d (Testamentul lui \u0218tefan cel Mare).<\/p>

Crucea ne conduce \u0219i c\u0103tre smerenie. P\u0103rintele Zaharia zice: \u201eCum va fi sl\u0103vit Domnul, dac\u0103 robii S\u0103i cei credincio\u0219i nu trec prin suferin\u021be? O cale prin care omul se smere\u0219te este s\u0103 se predea cu totul proniei lui Dumnezeu.\u201d \u0218i doar dac\u0103 ne uit\u0103m la ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat \u00een timpul \u00eenchisorilor comuniste \u00een\u021belegem. Nu era puterea lui Dumnezeu acolo?! Cum altfel s-ar fi putut rezista?! S-a sl\u0103vit Dumnezeu prin acei oameni. Iat\u0103 limbaj paradoxal, dar limbaj cre\u0219tinesc. Mai aplicat, p\u0103rintele Zaharia arat\u0103 \u00een ce feluri se poate purta Crucea: \u201eOmul poate purta moartea Domnului prin nevoin\u021bele Bisericii, cum ar fi postul \u0219i \u00eendurarea ru\u0219inii \u00een spovedanie. De asemenea, atunci c\u00e2nd omul se smere\u0219te \u00eenaintea fratelui s\u0103u f\u0103r\u0103 a-\u0219i revendica propria dreptate, ci lu\u00e2nd asupra sa r\u0103spunderea chiar \u0219i pentru gre\u0219elile aproapelui s\u0103u f\u0103r\u0103 a c\u00e2rti, el \u00ee\u0219i d\u0103 mor\u021bii propria \u201edemnitate\u201d. \u00cens\u0103 \u00een acela\u0219i timp \u0219tie c\u0103 \u201es-a mutat de la moarte la via\u021b\u0103\u201d (Ioan 5, 24). Cel ce \u00ee\u0219i taie voia proprie \u00eenaintea fratelui s\u0103u, biruie\u0219te moartea. To\u021bi cei ce urmeaz\u0103 Mielului sunt purt\u0103tori neobosi\u021bi ai \u201emor\u021bii Domnului Iisus\u201d \u0219i aceasta nu doar din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd, ci, \u201eprecum mieii care sunt du\u0219i la junghiere\u201d, ei sunt \u201euci\u0219i toat\u0103 ziua\u201d (Ps. 43, 24), \u201e\u00een toat\u0103 vremea \u0219i \u00een tot locul\u201d. Iat\u0103, forme de dus Crucea. \u0218i tot at\u00e2tea c\u0103i de a fi vii \u00een Dumnezeu. Pentru c\u0103 aceasta este rodul Crucii: \u00eenvierea noastr\u0103.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
