Father Nikola Milić: Listen to Christ above the noise of screens
Father Nikola Milić cites the divine command from the Transfiguration: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; listen to him." He observes that people today waste their days consuming internet content, watching mobile phones and various videos, giving attention to everything except the Lord. As a result, Christ remains the least present in their hearts.
The priest states that God will ask only about the condition of the heart and desires a pure heart. Therefore, he urges the faithful to listen to Christ rather than to human voices, to fears sown by the impure one, or to evil things. Instead, they should focus on what is good and useful for the soul and for salvation.
