Data de 7 decembrie a marcat \u00eemplinirea a 30 de ani de st\u0103re\u021bie a P\u0103rintelui Arhimandrit Melchisedec, adic\u0103 30 de ani de l\u0103sare \u00een m\u00e2na Domnului: \u201eNoi doar at\u00e2t \u00een via\u021ba noastr\u0103 avem de f\u0103cut: S\u0103 ne pred\u0103m, s\u0103 ne l\u0103s\u0103m \u00een m\u00e2na Preabunului Dumnezeu.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Cronicarii cititori \u00een date \u0219i \u00een vremi ne-ar putea vorbi de multe soroace \u00een acest an 2022, al 7530-lea de la facerea lumii. S-ar opri poate la 655 de ani de la moartea lui Bogdan I (1367), la 620 de ani de la aducerea la Suceava a moa\u0219telor Sf\u00e2ntului Ioan cel Nou (1402), la 565 de ani de la urcarea pe tron a lui \u0218tefan cel Mare (1457), iar tot din vremea lui la b\u0103t\u0103lia de la Codrii Cosminului (1497) de la care se \u00eemplinesc 525 de ani \u0219i tot a\u0219a c\u00e2te s-au adunat veacuri dup\u0103 veacuri.<\/p>

Dintre toate, noi ne vom opri la sorocul de azi, 7 decembrie 2022, zi de pomenire a Sfintei Muceni\u021be Filofteia de la Curtea de Arge\u0219, c\u00e2nd M\u0103n\u0103stirea Putna s\u0103rb\u0103tore\u0219te 30 de ani de la instalarea ca stare\u021b a p\u0103rintelui arhimandrit Melchisedec Velnic. S\u0103rb\u0103torim \u00eempreun\u0103, ob\u0219tea \u0219i p\u0103rintele duhovnicesc, pentru c\u0103 nu pot fi separate cele dou\u0103: nici m\u0103n\u0103stire f\u0103r\u0103 stare\u021b, nici stare\u021b f\u0103r\u0103 m\u0103n\u0103stire.<\/p>

Nou\u0103, celor ce vie\u021buim \u00een aceast\u0103 m\u0103n\u0103stire \u0219i am crescut odat\u0103 cu ea, schimb\u0103rile ni se par fire\u0219ti, dar celor care revin dup\u0103 mai mul\u021bi ani totul li se pare schimbat.<\/p>

Multe lucr\u0103ri au fost f\u0103cute din nevoia de a repara \u0219i a \u00eentre\u021bine pe cele mai vechi, altele au venit odat\u0103 cu m\u0103rirea ob\u0219tii, dar \u0219i a num\u0103rului de pelerini care viziteaz\u0103 m\u0103n\u0103stirea. Alte lucr\u0103ri sunt \u00eemplinirea unui vis, a unei dorin\u021be a multor genera\u021bii de p\u0103rin\u021bi putneni la care am fost chema\u021bi noi, cei de azi, a fi lucr\u0103tori.<\/p>

Astfel s-a ref\u0103cut \u00eentreaga incint\u0103: chilii \u0219i alei, muzeu \u0219i trapez\u0103. S-au construit noi corpuri de chilii \u0219i arhondaricele Sf\u00e2ntul Nicolae \u0219i Visarion Puiu. Iar la Centrul Cultural \u201eMitropolit Iacob Putneanul\u201d avem atelierele de pictur\u0103 \u0219i croitorie, de restaurare icoane \u0219i broderii \u0219i o bibliotec\u0103 nou\u0103.<\/p>

Dup\u0103 10 ani de lucr\u0103ri, biserica m\u0103n\u0103stirii a fost \u00eempodobit\u0103 din nou cu pictur\u0103. Osteneala pictorilor, fra\u021bii Mihail \u0219i Gavriil Moro\u0219an, dar \u0219i a \u00eentregii ob\u0219ti a fost sfin\u021bit\u0103 la 15 august 2010 de Preafericitul P\u0103rinte Patriarh Daniel.<\/p>

Schitul 12 Apostoli \u0219i Schitul Sala\u0219 au fost ridicate ca r\u0103spuns la dragostea \u0219i r\u00e2vna unor familii de buni cre\u0219tini, dar \u0219i din dorin\u021ba de a avea un loc de lini\u0219te \u0219i rug\u0103ciune pentru p\u0103rin\u021bii mai r\u00e2vnitori.<\/p>

Dac\u0103 fiecare hram al m\u0103n\u0103stirii adun\u0103 mii de credincio\u0219i, s\u0103rb\u0103torile Putnei au devenit s\u0103rb\u0103tori ale Moldovei \u00eentregi \u0219i ale \u00eentregii sim\u021biri rom\u00e2ne\u0219ti. Cele mai ample au fost s\u0103rb\u0103torile prilejuite de canonizarea Sf\u00e2ntului Voievod \u0218tefan cel Mare (1992), \u00eemplinirea a 500 de ani de la moartea Sf\u00e2ntului \u0218tefan (2004), sfin\u021birea picturii (2010), canonizarea Sf\u00e2ntului Iacob Putneanul \u0219i a Sfin\u021bilor Cuvio\u0219i Sila, Paisie \u0219i Natan (2017) \u0219i s\u0103rb\u0103torirea a 150 de ani de la Serbarea de la Putna din 1871 (2021). Toate aceste s\u0103rb\u0103tori arat\u0103 c\u0103 Putna a fost \u0219i este cu adev\u0103rat altar al con\u0219tiin\u021bei na\u021bionale.<\/p>

D\u0103ruind vei dob\u00e2ndi, spun p\u0103rin\u021bii. \u0218i cu adev\u0103rat p\u0103rintele stare\u021b, cu rug\u0103ciunile sale c\u0103tre Maica Domnului \u0219i c\u0103tre Sf\u00e2ntul \u0218tefan, cu inima lui larg\u0103 \u0219i primitoare, cu bun\u0103tatea \u0219i respectul fa\u021b\u0103 de to\u021bi, a reu\u0219it s\u0103 atrag\u0103 al\u0103turi de m\u0103n\u0103stire, pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 credincio\u0219ii care vin mereu la sfintele slujbe, \u0219i un num\u0103r mare de ctitori \u0219i binef\u0103c\u0103tori, care to\u021bi sunt azi ob\u0219tea mare a Putnei. Cu ajutorul lor, m\u0103n\u0103stirea s-a \u00eempodobit cu clopote, candele, racle pentru sfinte moa\u0219te, cruci ferecate, sfinte vase \u0219i sfinte evanghelii, acoper\u0103minte \u0219i ve\u0219minte sfinte.<\/p>

Dar m\u0103n\u0103stirea \u00eenseamn\u0103 \u00een primul r\u00e2nd ob\u0219tea monahal\u0103. \u00cen 1992 erau \u00een jur de 30 de vie\u021buitori \u0219i num\u0103rul lor a crescut mereu a\u0219a \u00eenc\u00e2t de ani buni de zile suntem \u00een jur de 100 de p\u0103rin\u021bi \u0219i fra\u021bi. Am venit din toate p\u0103r\u021bile, dar ne-am integrat \u00eentr-o ob\u0219te \u0219i sim\u021bim c\u0103 tr\u0103im \u00eentr-o familie mare pentru c\u0103 am g\u0103sit aici un p\u0103rinte, nu doar un stare\u021b.<\/p>

Mul\u021bi \u00eel avem na\u0219 de c\u0103lug\u0103rie, pe mul\u021bi i-a tuns \u00een monahism, cei mai mul\u021bi \u00eei suntem fii duhovnice\u0219ti, dar pentru to\u021bi a suferit \u0219i sufer\u0103 durerile na\u0219terii, cum spune Sf\u00e2ntul Pavel, p\u00e2n\u0103 ce Hristos va lua chip \u00een noi (Galateni 4, 19). Cei mai vechi \u0219i cei mai apropia\u021bi \u00eei \u0219tim bine toate fr\u0103m\u00e2nt\u0103rile, nelini\u0219tea, grijile, truda, bucuriile, dar \u0219i suferin\u021bele legate de \u00eemplinirile sau de sc\u0103derile fiilor s\u0103i.<\/p>

Nu au fost doar zile \u00eensorite. Putna, prin a\u0219ezarea ei, are parte \u0219i de zile reci, neprietenoase, \u0219i cine le va sim\u021bi mai \u00eent\u00e2i dac\u0103 nu cel pus \u00een frunte? P\u0103rintele Iachint, fostul stare\u021b, spunea la instalarea din 7 decembrie 1992 c\u0103 st\u0103re\u021bia Putnei nu e o st\u0103re\u021bie normal\u0103 \u0219i cere efort \u0219i jertf\u0103 supraomene\u0219ti. Doar Dumnezeu \u0219tie ce a fost \u00een sufletul p\u0103rintelui stare\u021b \u00een acele zile potrivnice, de c\u00e2te ori nu \u0219i-a dorit s\u0103 lase toate pentru o chilie \u0219i o psaltire. Dar fie prin sfin\u021bii s\u0103i, fie prin p\u0103rin\u021bi ale\u0219i, Maica Domnului \u0219i Sf\u00e2ntul \u0218tefan i-au \u0219optit tainic \u00een inim\u0103: \u201eDestul \u00ee\u021bi este darul nostru\u201d.<\/p>

\u0218i \u0219i-a dus crucea mai departe \u0219i, iat\u0103, ast\u0103zi se \u00eemplinesc 30 de ani. Mul\u021bi \u0219i pu\u021bini, cum spunea cronicarul, dar cu siguran\u021b\u0103 plini de realiz\u0103ri!<\/p>

Noi, ob\u0219tea putnean\u0103, care ne-am \u00eenvrednicit a-l avea stare\u021b \u0219i p\u0103rinte, se cade s\u0103 fim pururea mul\u021bumitori \u00eenaintea lui Dumnezeu pentru acest dar. Iar p\u0103rintelui stare\u021b s\u0103-i aducem \u00een loc de mul\u021bumire \u0219i de alte ur\u0103ri acel polihroniu pe care \u0219i l-a dorit mereu de la noi: s\u0103-L iubim pe Dumnezeu, s\u0103 iubim via\u021ba monahal\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 ne s\u00e2rguim s\u0103 ne \u00eemplinim f\u0103g\u0103duin\u021bele, s\u0103 fim r\u00e2vnitori pentru slujbele bisericii \u0219i s\u0103 ne \u00eent\u00e2lnim c\u00e2t mai des la Sf\u00e2ntul Altar \u0219i \u00eenaintea Sf\u00e2ntului Potir.<\/p>

C\u0103ci \u0219tim cu to\u021bii c\u0103 frumuse\u021bea unei m\u0103n\u0103stiri nu st\u0103 \u00een ziduri \u0219i \u00een construc\u021bii, ci \u00een virtu\u021bile p\u0103rin\u021bilor. Amin.<\/p>

S\u0103 ne tr\u0103i\u021bi \u00eentru mul\u021bi ani!<\/p>

\u00cen inima larg\u0103 a Sfin\u021biei Voastre am fost \u0219i noi chema\u021bi \u0219i primi\u021bi. A\u021bi l\u0103rgit inima at\u00e2t de mult, \u00eenc\u00e2t ob\u0219tea \u00eentreag\u0103 s-a l\u0103rgit. \u0218i ast\u0103zi putem s\u0103 spunem \u0219i chiar o facem, c\u0103 Putna se \u00eentinde dincolo de hotarele acestei m\u0103n\u0103stiri.<\/p>

Suntem boga\u021bi nu pentru c\u0103 suntem mul\u021bi, ci pentru c\u0103 suntem una. Acum 30 de ani, ne-a\u021bi \u00eendemnat s\u0103 fim str\u00e2ns uni\u021bi ca un trup, s\u0103 ne \u00eent\u0103rim unii pe ceilal\u021bi. Dac\u0103 vedem pe unul c\u0103z\u00e2nd, s\u0103-l ridic\u0103m.<\/p>

\u00centr-adev\u0103r suntem un trup, dar cu mult s\u00e2nge s-a construit acest trup. Cu adev\u0103rat a\u021bi f\u0103cut, p\u0103rinte, ca, ceea ce a zis Sf\u00e2ntul Pavel, s\u0103 se \u00eent\u00e2mple aici. Ne-a\u021bi ajutat s\u0103 ne altoim \u00een acest trup al Sfin\u021biei Voastre. Altoitul \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 pui ran\u0103 pe ran\u0103.
