ПОЕЗИЈА

Мирна као мрамор, хладна као сена,
Ти си бледо тихо девојче што снева.
Пусти песма других нека буде жена,
Што по нечистим улицама пева.

Ја не мећем на те ђинђуве са траком,
Него жуте руже у те косе дуге:
Буди одвећ лепа да се свиђаш сваком,
Одвећ горда да би живела за друге.

Буди одвећ тужна са сопствених јада,
Да би ишла икад да тешиш ко страда,
А чедна, да водиш гомиле што нагле.

И стој равнодушна, док око твог тела,
Место китњастог и раскошног одела,
Лебди само прамен тајанствене магле.

POESIE

Calme comme le marbre, froide comme une ombre,
Tu es une jeune fille pâle, rêveuse ;
Que la poésie des autres soit une femme,
Qui chante dans les rues souillées.

Je ne te pare point de faux bijoux enrubannés,
Mais je mets des roses jaunes dans tes longs cheveux ;
Sois trop belle pour plaire à chacun,
Trop altière pour vivre pour les autres.

Sois trop affligée de tes propres chagrins
Pour vouloir consoler ceux qui souffrent,
Trop chaste pour mener les foules qui se hâtent.

Sois impassible, tandis qu’autour de ton corps,
Au lieu du costume barriolé, somptueux,
Flotte un halo solitaire de brume mystérieuse.

On The Holy Liturgy

by Bishop Athanasius Yevtich

The Divine Liturgy is at the center of Orthodox Christian life. It is through the Eucharist that the faithful are united with Christ and therefore with one another. Every Eucharistic gathering is an image and a reality of the Heavenly Liturgy, i.e. unceasing Synaxis of angels and saints around God’s throne. Thus the Liturgy is the proclamation of and a real image of God’s Kingdom in this world.

In this television interview conducted by the Logos, a renowned Orthodox theologian and retired Bishop of Zahumlje and Hercegovina, his Grace Atanasije, brings forth these essential points citing historical development of the Liturgies bringing to light the present misunderstanding of certain Liturgical actions and movements.

Bishop Atanasije aptly points out the necessity for Liturgical renewal, i.e. moving away from passive liturgical attendance to active participation and immersion of the soul and body into a full communion with Christ.
