\"\"Icoana din ad\u00e2ncul duhovnicesc al fiin\u021bei noastre este chipul lui Hristos. Este Via\u021ba vie\u021bii noastre, este comoara cea mai de pre\u021b, pe care nu trebuie s\u0103 o pierdem, ci s\u0103 o afl\u0103m \u0219i s\u0103 o \u00eenmul\u021bim. Acest chip din inima noastr\u0103 se \u00eentunec\u0103 atunci c\u00e2nd s\u0103v\u00e2r\u0219im p\u0103catul, dar putem picta acest chip al lui Hristos prin virtute.<\/p>\n

Atunci c\u00e2nd ai chipul lui Hristos \u00een interiorul t\u0103u \u0219i e\u0219ti con\u0219tient de prezen\u021ba Lui, se na\u0219te \u00een inima ta dorul dup\u0103 Dumnezeu. Prezen\u021ba lui Hristos \u00een inima ta creeaz\u0103 acea stare de dor permanent, de dor dup\u0103 \u00een\u0103l\u021bimi duhovnice\u0219ti, dup\u0103 Dumnezeu. De aceea, cel care a cunoscut frumuse\u021bea Ortodoxiei niciodat\u0103 nu se va lep\u0103da de Ortodoxie, pe acela nu-l vor sminti niciodat\u0103 faptele cuiva sau vreo \u00eencercare, ci va r\u0103m\u00e2ne statornic, pentru c\u0103 se adap\u0103 din dor \u0219i tr\u0103ie\u0219te dup\u0103 icoana din ad\u00e2ncul lui \u2013 chipul lui Hristos. Prin privirea continu\u0103 la chipul Lui, via\u021ba cre\u0219tinului este, cum spunea Sf\u00e2ntul Grigorie de Nyssa, o \u00eenaintare permanent\u0103 din \u00eenceput \u00een \u00eenceput, spre \u00eenceputuri f\u0103r\u0103 de sf\u00e2r\u0219it.<\/p>\n

Ne numim cre\u0219tini nu numai pentru c\u0103 ne-am botezat \u00een numele Tat\u0103lui \u0219i al Fiului \u0219i al Sf\u00e2ntului Duh, ci \u0219i pentru c\u0103 \u00een apa Botezului Hristos Dumnezeu a luat chip \u00een inima noastr\u0103, a\u0219a cum auzim atunci: \u201e\u0218i f\u0103 s\u0103 ia chip Hristosul T\u0103u \u00een acesta ce se va na\u0219te din nou\u201d. Iar Sf\u00e2ntul Ioan Evanghelistul spune: \u201eCel ce este \u00eentru voi este mai mare dec\u00e2t cel ce este \u00een lume\u201d (I Ioan 4, 4). Deci, oric\u00e2t de mici am fi, oric\u00e2t de dispre\u021bui\u021bi, de umili\u021bi, oric\u00e2t de da\u021bi deoparte am fi, \u00cel purt\u0103m pe Hristos \u00eenl\u0103untrul nostru \u0219i-L sl\u0103vim. De aceea, c\u00e2nd Sf\u00e2ntul Grigorie Teologul a strigat de la amvonul bisericii din Constantinopol: \u201eHristos Se na\u0219te! Sl\u0103vi\u021bi-L! Hristos din ceruri, \u00eent\u00e2mpina\u021bi-L!\u201d, a vrut s\u0103 spun\u0103 c\u0103 nu e timp de pierdut, ci suntem chema\u021bi s\u0103 ne \u00een\u0103l\u021b\u0103m duhovnice\u0219te!<\/p>\n

Noi, cre\u0219tinii de ast\u0103zi, \u00eei avem \u00een fa\u021ba ochilor duhovnice\u0219ti \u0219i pe sfin\u021bi. \u00cen sfin\u021bii care au cunoscut dorul dup\u0103 Dumnezeu \u0219i L-au chemat, S-a s\u0103l\u0103\u0219luit Domnul. Noi, v\u0103z\u00e2nd cum \u00een ei s-au s\u0103l\u0103\u0219luit dorul \u0219i dragostea dumnezeiasc\u0103, ne aprindem de acela\u0219i dor \u0219i de aceea\u0219i dragoste. \u0218i tr\u0103im bucuria de a fi \u00eempreun\u0103 cu ei \u00een Biserica lui Hristos.<\/p>\n

F\u0103r\u0103 prezen\u021ba lui Hristos \u00een noi suntem ca un sfe\u0219nic f\u0103r\u0103 lumin\u0103, ca o biseric\u0103 p\u0103r\u0103sit\u0103 care se surp\u0103. C\u0103ci doar sufletul cre\u0219tinului care este \u00eempodobit cu frumuse\u021bea dorului dup\u0103 Dumnezeu \u0219i cu dragostea cea dumnezeiasc\u0103 are parte de primenirea \u0219i \u00eennoirea min\u021bii \u0219i a sufletului prin acestea.<\/p>\n

Ce trebuie f\u0103cut? S\u0103 c\u0103ut\u0103m mai la ad\u00e2nc, cum i-a zis Hristos Domnul lui Petru: \u201eM\u00e2n\u0103 corabia mai la ad\u00e2nc!\u201d (cf. Luca 5, 4). A te ad\u00e2nci, a te pogor\u00ee \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 mergi treapt\u0103 dup\u0103 treapt\u0103, smerindu-\u021bi cugetul. Printre marile virtu\u021bi care sunt a\u0219ezate la loc de cinste de to\u021bi Sfin\u021bii P\u0103rin\u021bi este virtutea smeritei cuget\u0103ri, adic\u0103 s\u0103 nu te \u00eenal\u021bi cu cugetul niciodat\u0103, s\u0103 nu \u021bi se par\u0103 c\u0103 e\u0219ti mai bun dec\u00e2t altul, c\u0103 e\u0219ti mai fericit, c\u0103 e\u0219ti mai frumos, c\u0103 e\u0219ti mai puternic, ci s\u0103 te vezi pe tine a\u0219a cum e\u0219ti. Smerita cugetare na\u0219te celelalte virtu\u021bi \u0219i omul tr\u0103ie\u0219te ceea ce a m\u0103rturisit Sf\u00e2ntul Isaac Sirul: \u201eCel ce-\u0219i vede p\u0103catele sale este mai mare dec\u00e2t cel ce vede \u00eengeri.\u201d<\/p>\n

Descoperi\u021bi \u0219i picta\u021bi chipul lui Hristos \u00een inima voastr\u0103! Primi\u021bi \u00eentru voi lumina chipului lui Hristos, care este pacea \u0219i bucuria inimii.<\/p>\n
