Gheronda Efrem Vatopedinul / Géronda Ephraïm de Vatopaedi
Sunt multe trepte în felul în care putem să răspândim pacea lui Hristos. Iar în cele din urmă vom ajunge la treapta in care și noi, de asemenea, vom fi făcători de pace, asemenea lui Hristos. Astfel vom împlini Fericirea lui Hristos:”…Fericiți făcătorii de pace, căci aceia fiii lui Dumnezeu se vor chema…”
Il y a plusieurs degrés dans la manière dont nous pouvons partager la paix du Christ. Et à la fin, nous pouvons atteindre le point où nous serons aussi artisans de paix, ressemblant au Christ. De cette manière nous accomplissons la béatitude du Christ: « …bienheureux les artisans de paix, car ils seront appelés fils de Dieu… »
Like Christ
There are qualitative degrees in the way in which we share Christ’s peace. In the end, we can reach the point where we, too, can become peacemakers, as was Christ. In this way we confirm Christ’s beatitude: ‘blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God’.
