Eminence Grigol: Individuals struggling with trials, pain, hardship, and conflict amidst Easter celebrations

Eminence Grigol has delivered a message amid the Easter festivities, acknowledging the multitude of individuals grappling with trials, pain, hardship, and conflict amidst celebrations. During his festive sermon, the Metropolitan of Poti and Khobi underscored the struggles for advancing civil rights and social conditions.

“On this auspicious day, as heaven and earth unite in splendor, let us exclaim together: Christ is risen!

While we rejoice in the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ, it is important to recognize that the joy of those who have transitioned from this world surpasses our own. Their anticipation of heavenly realms surpasses our understanding; what we hold as belief is their undeniable reality.

Our foremost prayer to the Lord is for peace – a peace that must first reside within the human heart, for without inner tranquility, external peace remains elusive. As the adage goes, ‘what is within the vessel is reflected in its outward flow.’

May the risen Savior, with His infinite compassion, guide us along the path of peace, kindness, and love, steering us towards the eternal journey that lies ahead.

In the spirit of unity and mutual trust, let us implore God to grace us with His divine presence through the Holy Spirit,” concluded the top cleric.
