Father Justin about Christ's message to women: Do not be afraid to give birth to sons. Fill Heaven with saints !! Published by ?tefana Totorcea Father lustin served on the second day of Easter at the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Satu Mare. In his homily, he offered a unique interpretation of the messages of the Savior Jesus Christ to myrrh-bearing women: "Rejoice!" and "Do not be afraid." The hierarch says that these exhortations must be applied to the birth of children to eternal life."Who by the Mother of God were the most afflicted? The women. Myrrh-bearing women ", remarked the Bishop of Maramure? and S?tmar."They suffer the most when they see life dying, when they see the human being degrading, destroying themselves, the ones who gave birth to life, mothers, women. They were the most in pain." But, showing himself to the myrrh-bearers, Christ "gave joy to the women and said to them, 'Do not be afraid.""Do not be afraid to give birth to sons, for they will not die forever. They are not destined for death and hell, but for the Resurrection and eternity and Heaven. Be brave! Fill the heavens with saints. This is what women did after the Resurrection of Christ", translated the Most Holy Justin this message for us, those of today, who are afraid even of natural situations, such as the appearance of a pregnancy."Before Christ, the woman was in bondage. It didn't matter. Christ gave him a destiny, a purpose: to fill the earth with great people, with human beings, and to fill heaven with saints! And the heaven of God was filled with saints, and the Church of Christ, "he said.Thus, the bishop emphasized the importance of the specifically female vocation in the history of salvation: every time she gives birth, she crushes the serpent's head.Photo credit: Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of Maramure? and S?tmar (archive)https://basilica.ro/ps-iustin-despre-mesajul-lui-hristos-catre -femei-nu-va-temeti-sa-aduceti-pe-lume-fii-umpleti-cerul-de -sfinti/
