AUGUST 2, 2009 ILIAOBA - DAY OF ST. ELIA THE PROPHET
„Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell to- gether in unity!“thanks be to God! That he gave us, to Serbian and to Georgian people opportunity to Glorify the Lord together on the feast day of St. Elia the Prophet!
The prophet Elias, who was taken up alive to Heaven on a fiery chariot, According to the tradition of Holy Church, he will be a Fore Runner of the Terrible Second Coming of Christ upon the earth and during the time of preaching, he will unmask the evil and will endure bodily death for Christ. May he pray for us to the Lord!!!
As you know, our orthodox church is praying for our life. We ask to the Lord for mercy, for grace, for forgiveness of our sins, for good defense at the dread judgment of Christ and many other blessings, but most important place in our prayers has Peace and unity... al- most in all parts of holy services we pray to The God for peace and for unity and God blesses us by the words of priests with peace in unity “Peace be unto all”...
God’s glory seems in our friendship, in our brotherly relations and in our love. And today when we are together, Serbian and Geor- gian Orthodox people, let us ask again to the Lord for our countries well being, Peace and unity... let us ask to the lord for our pain, since Both of our countries share a similar fate...
Also, let us remember God’s suggestions and comfort... “But rath- er seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” So lets not be scared if the earth is taken away, because the heavens is given to us.
Nothing happens without the Lord’s will, and perhaps this peril was bestowed upon us to test our faith and to strengthen our spiritual path. May God will that we shall soon celebrate our countries’ unity, peace and prosperity.
Today is the Saint’s day of His Holiness and Beatitude Ilia II Ca- tholicos
