HONOR OF THE NATION
INSTEAD OF THE EPILOGUE...
In spiritual cohesion, man as a human creature, in his journey, configures his portrait, in the existing reality, through his existence, his participation in this reality, values, philosophical concepts, events, which confirm his worldview, vision , as leadership in life.
Undoubtedly, it is not only his participation, in this reality, in the creation of values, their production by today's society, but also the influence of today's human worldview, values, vision, that human society itself offers you, with its reality environment in which man is not only a participant, co-habitant, collaborator, but also a social product of it.
Today's society is full of social phenomena that influence, presume, and convey the reality of the time, as a vision for it, for the future, for humanity today.
The phenomena, the events, in the existing reality are many. Material, spiritual, which overturn and shape different worldviews and visions.
An event, a great event, six years ago: historic meeting of Pope Francis with the World Leader of the Bektashi, His Holiness, H. Dede Edmond Brahimaj.
GREAT LEADER VISION, GREAT VISION FOR TIME, CHALLENGE OF TODAY'S HUMAN SOCIETY.
In the past we have fought wars between faiths, we should repent of them, but war is not the way we should walk...
THE PATH WE MUST TAKE IS THAT OF LOVE, PEACE, DIALOGUE AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN RELIGIONS, COUNTRIES, PEOPLES AND TODAY'S HUMAN SOCIETY.
The divine message of the Holy Father, Pope Francis, as it was 6 years ago, still permeates every human heart, every person who lives, in every corner of the Earth, in all the Great Galilee of the Nations.
TIME, MESSAGES, VISIONS, TO MAKE YOU EXPERIENCE HISTORY...
May 10-11, 2016. An invitation from the Holy Father, Pope Francis, a love that will be experienced and passed on from time to time...
The time had come, God's holy hour. We all experienced feelings of joy as much as pride.
Deification, you had conquered us. The Vatican, the great obelisk of sanctity. The statues of the holy Apostles, Peter the Great, the ancestors of our holy Popes, of our Genesis, awakened our glory. Pride. Their homilies, for us, who were already in St. Peter's Square, played as before, their beautiful, divine, endless symphonies.
To Pope St. Eleuther (171:185) From Nicopoli, Epirus, Preva, who ranks 14th in the list of Popes, St. Urban the first 222-230 of Illyria, who ranks 18th in the list of Popes, St. Kai Pope, 283- 296 of Salone Dalmaci, Pope John IV Dalmat 640-642, Pope Paul IV Karafa 1555-1559, who ranks 45 in the list of Popes. During the time and under his direction, the first book, in the Albanian language, Meshari i John Buzukut. Pope Sistis V Pereti 1585-1590, his family emigrated from Kotor, which ranks 229 on the list. Pope Clement XI, Albani 1700-1721, which ranks 245. By his order, the Assembly of Arbri was held , on July 10, 1703, where the decision was made to open the first Albanian school. The invitation of the Holy Father, brought joy, an immeasurable divine experience. The Holy Father had called us and was waiting for us in the house of God, in The Vatican, as friends, as brother to brother in God, the Grandfather of the World.
Entering the Vatican, square, in the heart of Christianity, made our participation and presence more legitimate. Genesis enlightened our memory... We, the first nation, who embraced Christianity. As soon as Christ was baptized, the 12 Apostles were scattered throughout the world to spread the good news. I spread Christianity from Jerusalem to Illyria. The Epistles of St. Paul.
As a nation, we wanted this square. Love for him made it warmer, more joyful, coming to him, our presence.
With this love, the welcome greeting of Cardinal Augusto Miguel, who would accompany us, together with the patriot, our friend, mine, the director of the Vatican Radio, for European and Albanian languages, Don David Xhuxha, among the pearls of the Albanian voice in the Center World Christianity, it would reveal the love of our people, as lucky people, who would receive the blessing of the Holy Father.
May 11, 2016, 09:00, experiencing unspeakable emotions. We were going to meet the Viceroy on Earth, Pope Francis. A dream that was already true.
WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY IN THE VATICAN... AFTER CENTURY RULES WERE BREAKED...
I await my friend, in the house of God - this welcome greeting, full of pathos and love, was conveyed before us like a Holy Divine psalm, issued from the mouth of the Holy Father, Vice
the ancestors of Huy on Earth, Peter the Laeder of the Church, Pope Francis.
A chastity of love, boundless symbiosis, for His friend, had never appeared in centuries, in time, in the history of the Papacy...
When he faced the meeting hall of peace, the Holy Father, did not sit down, in His Papal Throne, centuries old, but took His own throne, even though the personal guard asked to help him, with the burning love he experienced for his friend His, carried the chair himself and sat next to the friend who had invited him, as brother to brother, to the house of God.
A brotherly feeling. Beyond every edge, every love. A different status. Unusual. Near and near. Very close to each other. Head to head. Heart to heart, turned the meeting, from official, to spiritual, to divine. Two faiths, two world leaders, two World Centers, Christianity and Bektashism, side by side, merged under one road, under one love, the only love of God. The scenography that seduced, excited and electrified the whole atmosphere. It happened without telling.
The President of the Pontifical Council of World Dialogue, Cardinal Turan, with a voice trembling from the closeness of love, with great emotion conveyed to the Pope, the history, the dedication of the World Center, its leader, the World Grandfather, Dede Edmond Brahimaj, the motto of Bektashism, in time, history, patriotism, the mythicization of His ideal, with the nation. The struggle and efforts of its leader, the World Grandfather, for today, as a visionary, to sow peace and love among all faiths, as an important factor for harmony, tolerance, religious coexistence. His persistent struggle today, for peace and security in the region, against the various radical currents that today's society is experiencing.
When the Pope heard the words so dear, so holy, about His brother, whom He had as a friend, deeply moved, He felt Himself, no longer as the master of His house, but as a simple brother, among the brothers of the same family , of God. The proximity of the chairs, very close, close to each other, the open openness of Baba Mondi's heart, not only touched the Holy Father, but made Him more sensitive than could be expected. The assembly hall of peace, of the civilization of Western Christendom, was experiencing a special brotherhood, fused in that divine world.
My mind and heart are in Albania, in you, since I came and met you, in your people, remember the youth - said the Holy Father - as a great value of a nation, for today, the future of society.
For special respect, the Pope spoke with such respect, veneration, for all those people who fought for high, boundless human, spiritual values, for life, civilization, freedom, independence, their integrity, who gave their lives and became sleep for great ideals, for their nation, as a nation among the other civilizations of Europe.
So today, like then, when I came to Albania and visited them, I feel that I am always near their holy altars.
In the past, we have fought wars between faiths, we must repent of them, but it is not war, the path we must walk on...
The path we must travel is that of love, peace, dialogue, and understanding between religions, countries, peoples and today's human society.
Your nation - said the Holy Father - is a priceless example of the values of fraternal coexistence between the faiths that exist in Albania. As an example and a precious treasure of the Albanian nation, which must be nurtured, cultivated, and carried forward with dedication and conviction. With great spiritual depth, the Pope encouraged the fraternal harmony that the Religious Communities of Albania follow. This spirit must spread and be an unquenchable light always. We, said the Holy Father, as the World Center of Christianity in the West, together with your World Center of Bektashism, must be under one flag, in the common struggle for peace and security in the region. In the fight against the radical, regressive currents that are disrupting today's human society. We must walk the path of peace, human love, between peoples, countries and nations. The role of the Center and yours, as its leader, is a big, important factor in this struggle for peace today.
I can't find words to show the immeasurable love for you, for the reception you reserved for us, for the kindness you offered us, for the heartfelt words you conveyed, for your prayers that penetrated deeply into our hearts. We are grateful to you for the rest of our lives - said the Great Grandfather - for what you have done for the sons of our nation, for the Sanctification of Mother Teresa, for the Beatification of the 38 martyrs who were hanged, shot, with such holy words for God, " ...Long live the Church, long live Christ the King...", who were persecuted in the most human way, by the savage Communist regime. We and the whole world must be grateful to you, Holy Father, for the great message you sent, for all the suffering people, for the Muslim immigrants, from the Middle East and other countries, that you requested that the states, not only you they opened the borders for them, but they also opened their hearts, the doors of their souls. We are grateful to you, Holy Father, for the work you are doing, to avoid wars, in the name of God and religion, to bring religions and faiths closer together, as a single human family. We, as a faith, as a leader, manifested these values in our participation on the boulevards of Paris, after the terrorist attacks of the infamous "Charlie Hebdo" event. We are united, all Muslim brothers, in the Balkans and beyond, in the fight against various radical, terrorist currents. We - said Grandfather Baba Mondi, with love to the Holy Father - will always be by Your side, by Your great messages of peace. We always look to You as a flag bearer of love for different peoples and faiths. We, as the World Center, together with You, as the leader, will always be together, in the struggle to ensure peace and love in the region and beyond.
Never before had words been said with such love. So brotherly. So sincere. So warm. So spiritual. Two leaders, one road, one love, two brothers in God.
This display of warmth would end with a scenography, symbiosis of this devotion of love, with an embrace so longing, so heartfelt, like brother to brother with God.
COURAGE AND GREAT BLESSING…
You had never happened in this hall, an affinity so pure, so strong, so fiery, so deep spiritual. Everything that was the law, the rule, had turned from the officialism that had been in the centuries, in the times, in the history of the Papacy, to the love that would be written in lines, in history, as the spiritual constitution, of the legality, the new rule of grace that would remain in the annals of the history of World Christianity.
I could no longer expect anything else, that just like the Pope, who himself broke the age-old rules of the Papacy, in the Hall of the Reception of Peace, I would not break them, that even though I was commissioned, I would be obedient to the protocol, the law his, I approached the Holy Father, with my microphone, to receive His great message of peace, the Holy Blessing, for my Albanian people.
In these unprecedented moments, I approached the Holy Father with a microphone and asked him for a blessing for my Albanian people. And the Holy Father with that love conveyed by his vision of Hugh and the deputy of Peter the great of the church, conveyed that great blessing once again to our people, that Albania may move forward, that the Albanian nation more and more see himself from the best future, so that peace and love prevail between them, like the eagle on the flag of our nation, thanking me: "Grazia Grazia", as a journalist, who had approached him with a microphone and had taken allow the message protocol.
I had taken with me the most sacred thing for my country, for my nation, the blessing of the Holy Father! This made me happy and I will remember it all my life, in my heart.
This historic meeting, this rare experience of love, between the two world leaders of faiths, the two World Centers, as rarely ever, cannot fail to attract the attention of the Albanian Radio Television, the State Radio Television of Kosovo, RTK1, other screens, who immediately began to inform the nation and the whole world about this meeting of peace and love.
Vatican Radio, its director, Don David Djuxhas, immediately broadcast it in all the languages of the world, as the first headline of the day, immediately interviewing the World Grandfather, for this historic meeting between the two world leaders, the Holy Father, Pope Francis and to the Grandfather, Baba Mondi, as a great vision of peace for the time, today's human society.
The people, our first fellow travelers, who live in Italy, were not surprised when they heard the news, which had spread throughout Dena and throughout Albania.
