PRAVO BOGOSLUŽENJE....

Pravo Bogosluženje je to da čovjek živi u vjeri, djeluje u Ljubavi i Bogu daje čast kao jedinom Stvoritelju svih stvari. I ako vi na taj način služite Bogu, iz toga će vam nići blagoslov, učiniti ćete se dostojnim sve Milosti, i biti ćete sudionici vječnog života u svoj slavi. A za to vam je Bog dao život, da bi vam pripalo Njegovo Kraljevstvo, koje vam je On pripravio, i vi trebate osvojiti to Kraljevstvo Božje.... Trebate činiti sve što Otac traži da bi vas za vječno kao Svoju djecu mogao obdariti svim blagodatima.... kako bi vi, koji ste odabrani za dijeteštvo Božje, sudjelovali u svim nebeskim milinama. _A tako želi Gospodar, no vi ne obraćate pažnju na Njegove Riječi i na Zemlji propuštate služiti Mu u Ljubavi i poslušnosti. To Gospodara potiče na to da vas podsjeća iznova i iznova.... On je najuže povezan s vama, samo ako Ga priznajete, i ozbiljno se brine da ne promašite. On vam se približava na najvidljiviji mogući način i Svoju djecu obdaruje izvanredno tako da bi ga mogla prepoznati. Pa se tako događa da je među vama tamo gdje Ga spominjete. On onda kuca na vrata vaših srca i želi ući, i tko Mu otvori, primiti će Njegov blagoslov i biti će izdignut iznad sve duhovne nevolje.

To je čovjekov zadatak u vremenu i u vječnosti, da Gospodara primi u svoje srce, jer samo u prisutnosti Božanskog Gospodara i učitelja leži bezgranična sreća, kako na Zemlji tako i jednom u vječnosti. Uvijek će stvorenje služiti svome Stvoritelju i pjevati Mu hvalu i čast, jednom kad je Njegovo prisustvo postalo pojam svog blaženstva.

Jer Onaj Koji vlada nad svim bićima iz vječnosti u vječnost, uistinu je neopisivo velik i mudar.... Njegova svemoć zadire u najdublje dubine stvaranja, a Njegova Mudrost ljudski nije shvatljiva, i svako biće je Njegovo stvaranje, Njegovo vlasništvo i Njegova uobličena volja.... Tako da bi Mu sve što živi trebalo biti Ljubav-no i uslužno podano i biti Mu u svom strahopoštovanju i podanosti pravi sluga, izbjegavajući svaki vanjski sjaj, a namjesto toga dižući Gospodaru u srcu oltar, na kojem Mu čovjek prinosi Ljubav i zahvalnost i svoju volju, odustajući od svake ljubavi prema svijetu....

Takvo jedno Bogoslužje milo je Gospodu, Koji vidi u srca i cijeni samo stupanj Ljubavi, koji je poticaj za svaku žrtvu koja se prinosi Gospodaru. Tko Gospodaru služi tako da Mu privodi duše ili se brine za spas duša bližnjih, sudbina toga u Njegovoj je ruci, jer Ljubav upravlja njegovu volju i biti će nagrađen Ljubavlju Božanskog Spasitelja, Koji jeste Sama Vječna Ljubav....

AMEN

Right worship service....

This is the true service of God, that man may live in faith, work in love and give glory to God as the only creator of all things. And if you serve God in this way, blessings will flow from it, you will make yourselves worthy of all favours, and your share will be eternal life in all its glory. And for this purpose God has given you life, that His kingdom which He has prepared for you may be granted to you, and you shall inherit the kingdom of God.... you are to do whatever the father asks, so that He may consider you as His children forever with all bliss.... so that you, who have been chosen for adoption as children of God, may share in all the delights of heaven. And thus the lord wills it, yet you pay no attention to His words and neglect to serve Him on earth in love and obedience. This causes the lord to admonish you further and further.... He is in closest contact with you, if only you acknowledge Him, and is extremely concerned that you do not go astray. He draws close to you in the most visible way and He considers His children exceptionally so that they shall recognize Him. And so it happens that He dwells in your midst where you make mention of Him. He then knocks at the door of your hearts and desires admittance, and whoever opens up to Him will receive His blessing and be relieved of all spiritual hardship. This is man's task in time and eternity, that he receives the lord into his heart, for only in the presence of the divine lord and master lies unlimited happiness, both on earth and one day in eternity. The creature will always serve its creator and sing praise and honour to Him, so that His presence has become the epitome of all bliss. But He who now rules over all beings from eternity to eternity is truly indescribably great and wise.... His omnipotence reaches into the deepest depth of creation, and His wisdom cannot be grasped by man, and every being is His creation, His property and His will which has become form.... And so everything that lives should be subject to Him in love and service and be a true servant to Him in all reverence and devotion, shunning all outward appearances, but erecting an altar to the lord in the heart, on which he offers Him his love and gratitude and his will and vows renunciation of all worldly love.... Such worship is pleasing to the lord, who sees into the heart and judges only the degree of love that is the cause of every sacrifice offered to the lord. Whoever serves God in such a way that he brings souls to Him or is concerned about the salvation of his neighbour's soul, his fate is in His hands, for love guides his will and will be rewarded by the love of the divine saviour, Who is the eternal love Himself....

Amen
