Today, the Church of St. Nicholas in the Chicago suburb of Lyons was filled for the promotion of Bishop Grigorije of Germany\u2019s book Jedni drugima potrebni<\/em> (\u201cNeeded by Each Other\u201d), which also served as a fundraising event to support the construction of a church in Gacko, Herzegovina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the promotion, Bishop Grigorije, together with his hosts, Chicago Metropolitan Longin and the parish priest Father Nemanja Te\u0161i\u0107, celebrated the liturgy in the newly renovated Church of St. Nicholas, assisted by the clergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The introductory remarks at the event were given by Father Nemanja and Metropolitan Longin, who spoke warmly about the creative gift of their guest, noting that Bishop Grigorije had already promoted several of his latest books in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bishop Grigorije then took the floor to address a topic rarely discussed in Serbian churches or the broader community: anxiety, depression, the quiet killers of modern times. He emphasized the importance of turning to one another, showing love and care, and being close enough to notice problems and help each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He drew striking parallels, such as the one between a casino and the Ostrog Monastery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was sitting at a restaurant terrace with a view of a nearby casino. Interestingly, everyone entering the casino looked radiant and happy, but they left looking dejected or angry. On the other hand, it was fascinating to observe people just as downcast entering the cell, the cave containing the relics of Saint Basil at Ostrog Monastery, where I myself was tonsured. Yet upon leaving, their faces radiated joy. Completely the opposite of the casino, which speaks volumes,\u201d Bishop Grigorije recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
