How can we explain the Creation
God is perfect and almighty. This means, among other things, that God isn’t forced to create and/or to do any action which He does God is perfectly free. He transcends everything, including the necessity to create…
Hence only love can explain the Creation.
Besides that, God is not a victim of influences. So, His love towards anything remains perfect even if some rational beings (namely devils and some people) try to fight Him.
It is a marvelous thing exactly the fact that God gives to these creatures the power, time and existence to these creatures knowing that they, using wrongly their liberty, will try to fight Him. Any creature depends absolutely on the Creator.
God was, is and remains a loving Father.

Urmaresc cu bucurie si interes orice evenimet legat de Gheronda Efrem. Fie articol, fie fotografie, fie predica.. Ceea ce ma impresioneaza foarte mult la preacuviosia sa, este modul cum isi schimba expresia fetei in functie de loc, persoana, evenimet.. Uneori (de fapt cel mai adesea) chipul sfintiei sale exprima bunatate fata de cel care ii cer sfat, alteori dragoste de tata, alteori tristete.. Ceea ce am observat insa, ca de fiecare data, dar de fiecare data, cnad slujeste chipul sfintiei sale exprima darzenie. Adesea imi spun ca, daca atunci cand slujeste ar aparea Hristos Insusi in fata cuviosiei sale nu ar fi prea mirat…modul cum slujeste..e ceva..minunat! Mult ma impresioneaza chipul lui Gheronda Efrem..este daca imi permiteti sa ma exprim astfel..(iertati gheronda..si pomeniti..)ca o carte. Fiecare fila (chip) exprima “tema” legata de loc, evenimet, traire..
Nu pot sa nu va multumesc iar si iar pentru aceste daruri..

Da, într-adevăr este multă dârzenie. Este o continuă luptră împotriva păcatului pentru a ne sfinți
