Un c\u0103lug\u0103r a venit odat\u0103 la duhovnicul s\u0103u \u015fi i-a spus:
– P\u0103rinte, de c\u00e2te ori vin la tine, m\u0103 m\u0103rturisesc \u015fi \u00eemi pl\u00e2ng p\u0103catele, primesc de la tine sfaturi pentru \u00eendreptare, dar nu m\u0103 pot schimba. Ce folos mai pot avea c\u0103 vin la tine, dac\u0103 oricum cad \u00een acelea\u0219i p\u0103cate?<\/p>\n
P\u0103rintele i-a r\u0103spuns:
– Fiul meu, ia dou\u0103 urciora\u0219e de lut \u2013 unul cu miere, iar cel\u0103lalt s\u0103 fie gol.
C\u0103lug\u0103rul a\u0219a f\u0103cu.
– \u0218i acum, \u2013 i-a spus p\u0103rintele s\u0103u, -toarn\u0103 de mai multe ori mierea din unul \u00een altul.
Ucenicul din nou l-a ascultat.
– Acum, fiul meu, uit\u0103-te la vasul gol \u0219i miroase-l. <\/p>\n
C\u0103lug\u0103rul l-a mirosit \u0219i a spus:
– P\u0103rinte, vasul gol miroase a miere, \u0219i acolo, la fundul s\u0103u a r\u0103mas un pic de miere.
– Uite a\u0219a \u015fi \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103turile mele sunt depozitate \u00een sufletul t\u0103u. Dac\u0103 vei dob\u00e2ndi de dragul lui Hristos cel pu\u021bin o parte din virtu\u021bi, Dumnezeu prin mila Sa va umple ceea ce-\u0163i lipse\u0219te \u0219i va salva sufletul t\u0103u pentru via\u021ba ve\u0219nic\u0103. Cum o gospodin\u0103 nu \u021bine boabe de piper \u00eentr-o oal\u0103 care miroase a miere, a\u015fa \u015fi Dumnezeu nu te va \u00eendep\u0103rta dac\u0103 vei s\u0103di \u00een sufletul t\u0103u un \u00eenceput bun.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
