Siljanovska – Davkova from Rome: It is strong and inspiring to read in Macedonian that respects the spiritual Slavic father
It is difficult for one to express the impression after such an event even though I come here for the second time, always as if it were the first time. I will spend my sake of my whole life yesterday. It was great to bow to someone who worships all the Slavic world – to Kiril, the philosopher Constantine, said President Gordana Siljanovska – Davkova today in Rome, on the occasion of the Day of the Day of the Slavic Enlighteners, MIA reports.
« It is a place that radiates spirituality, and additionally when you hear a prayer of wonderful, dedicated, young, beautiful priests then the faith is even more strengthened and that is a moment of spirituality, » said President Siljanovska-Davkova, who together with the state-church delegation visited the Basilica » Cyril and Methodius.
It is strong and inspiring, said Siljanovska-Davkova, « read in Macedonian, in addition to other Slavic languages, that they pay tribute to the spiritual Slavic father without which we would probably find it hard to enlighten, because he is the holder, promoter of literacy, and without literacy.
He, as he pointed out, is followed by today’s visit to the tomb of Pope Francis, who « will be remembered by the mind, after dedication, after erudition, after closeness to the citizens, to the faithful, the deep faith of God, in peace, the man dedicated to the ordinary, to the poor. »
– It is precisely the choice for this to be his eternal home and the white rose reflects modesty. That’s what someone like me who spent 45 minutes talking to him last year is something that highlights spirituality, the president said.
The church delegation, led by Metropolitan of Tetovo-Gostivar Mr. Joseph, and many Macedonian citizens, attended the Basilica « Santa Maria Maggiore » in Rome, and many Macedonian citizens, which she said that « this small chosen company,
« This is the warning of us ordinary people, believers, that the road is not over, that the vision of the great Cyril and Methodius has not yet been completed, and here is the Pope Francis, » said Siljanovska – Davkova.
She expressed hope that the world, Europe, the believers, with the new pope would make a step forward, because, as he said, he would continue the Christian story, the Slavic, spiritual story.
– Humanity has never needed faith, given the flood of material that has not led to a state that we must not be proud of. But this is why this today and tomorrow will send us the right way – said President Siljanovska – Davkova, who will have the audience at the Vatican on Monday with the new Pope Leo 14 and a meeting with Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
