Metropolitan Petru of Bessarabia shared a heartfelt message on the International Day of Families, emphasizing the importance of the home as a place filled with love, peace, and understanding for every family member.
He highlighted the challenges faced by Christian families today, such as secularization and attacks on traditional values, and stressed the need for prayer, reading of the Holy Scriptures, and guidance from spiritual advisors to strengthen faith and hope for eternal life.
The ultimate goal, according to Metropolitan Petru, is salvation, and the family serves as the solid foundation for embarking on this spiritual journey towards the Kingdom of Heaven.
He urged families to raise their children in the fear of God, to support each other with love, and to seek the Lord’s guidance in all circumstances. By living in peace, love, and accordance with God’s will, true peace and joy can be found in life.
