“God
has given us this great gift – to be with us. We must reflect on
what a high honour He has bestowed upon us establishing
His image in us, so that man may be like God,” Patriarch Daniil
has
told
journalists. The patriarch led
the festive divine liturgy of St. John Chrysostom in the Patriarchal
Cathedral “St. Alexander Nevsky”.
Sometimes
we greatly devalue ourselves and the people around us, and God has
given us such a high dignity – to be sons of God, the Patriarch
said
and added: “We must strive to acquire what He has brought us –
His divine peace, His divine condescension and humility, His divine
love. When
we have these gifts – this is God-likeness. And man will truly be
with Him, and we will not cease to enjoy His peace and grace.”
