His Eminence Bishop Paisje of Diocletia served the Vespers service in the Church of the Holy Great Martyr Nedelje in Gornji Grblje and led the procession on the occasion of the temple celebration.

In his sermon, he emphasized that from a person's relationship with God, one can also see his relationship with other people, and in this regard he cited Christ's words from the Gospel: Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

"If we pay attention, we will see that the Lord does not say that we preach the Gospel to two or three or one people, but He says: to all the peoples of the earth. This is what our love for every person consists of - that we have the desire for every person to be saved and that when there is division and strife among people, it means that we have distanced ourselves from God, and when we unite, when we live in harmony and love, then we ourselves draw closer to God. Therefore, we cannot impose and establish harmony and peace by force, but we can strive for it and testify to it with our lives. Therefore, we must have the desire within ourselves that even those of our enemies who think contrary to the Gospel of Christ, that we always want them to hear and turn to the path of salvation. This is what the Lord wants even when we sin, He also wants us to repent and be saved.

This is what we should want and The meaning of this holy procession and this prayer was exactly that. May God the Lord bless everyone, even those who think differently from us, and may those who oppose His word also turn and repent, and so that we all together glorify the name of God.

Glory to our God, may God bless you all and your homes forever and ever. Amen,” concluded His Eminence Bishop Paisios of Diocletia.
