Metropolitan Antonie of Bessarabia: Dormition reveals the victory of life in Christ

Metropolitan Antonie celebrated the Dormition Divine Liturgy in Romanovca, welcoming clergy from both sides of the Prut and speaking about the Mother of God's closeness to those who pray. He blessed new crosses, congratulated the parish priest for completing construction works, and noted the support of Hadâmbu Monastery.

“The Dormition of the Mother of God reveals to us the victory of life in Christ and her unceasing closeness to those who call upon her in prayer,” Metropolitan Antonie of Bessarabia said on Friday, when the Dormition was celebrated according to the unrevised calendar.

Metropolitan Antonie celebrated the Divine Liturgy for the parish’s patronal feast in Romanovca. Clergy from both sides of the Prut attended the service, including Archimandrite Nicodim Gheorghiță, abbot of Hadâmbu Monastery in Iași.

Metropolitan Antonie emphasised that “the mystery of the Incarnation reveals both the will of God and humanity’s free response: the Most Holy Virgin accepted the divine calling through obedience, humility and complete self-giving, becoming the Mother of the Incarnate Word and an image of the person who offers their entire life to God.”

The Metropolitan of Bessarabia noted that the faithful have entrusted many churches, institutions and cities to the protection of the Mother of God, something which “bears witness to the help received throughout the generations”.

Following the Divine Liturgy, Metropolitan Antonie celebrated the blessing of the crosses placed on the church domes and of the wayside cross erected in the parish courtyard. The service marked the completion of improvement works carried out recently with the support of Hadâmbu Monastery.

Metropolitan Antonie congratulated parish priest Fr Nicolae Tverdostup and the faithful for their care of the church and for completing the works.
