It's the weekend, I had free time and I was riding my bike on the road towards the Mesić monastery. Along the way, a roadside monument caught my eye. I hadn't seen him before so I stopped next to him. In front of the monument it was written that it was restored and consecrated by the Metropolitan of Banat. As a believer and a person who goes to church regularly, I stood in front of the monument and prayed to Saint Arsenius the Second Serbian Archbishop whose icon is painted on the monument and this monument is dedicated to him because he founded the Mesić Monastery. In the old days, when people walked to the monastery and passed kilometers, they would stop at this monument to rest, refresh, pray and continue their pilgrimage to the monastery. My thoughts took me back in time and I realized an important truth. Today we are all under stress and complain about various diseases. The reason for this is that we are constantly rushing somewhere and we do not know how to stop and rest. That is why humanity is in serious trouble today. Some chase money, others chase various vices. No one will stop for a moment to pray to God. This roadside monument made me stop and realize this truth. In life, we need to stop and relax and hand over all our worries and problems to God. Then we will find peace in the soul and a cure for many diseases that plague modern man.

SRPSKI
Vikend je, imao sam slobodnog vremena i vozio sam biciklo putem prema manastiru Mesić. Uz put mi je zapao za oko jedan spomenik krajputaš. Nisam ga ranije vidjao pa sam zastao pored njega. Ispred spomenika je pisalo da je obnovljen i osveštan od strane Mitropolita Banatskog. Kao vernik i osoba koja ide redovno u crkvu, stao sam ispred spomenika i pomolio sam se Svetom Arseniju Drugom Arhiepiskopu Srpskom čija je ikona naslikana na spomeniku i njemu je posvećen ovaj spomenik jer je on osnovao manastir Mesić. U stara vremena kada su ljudi išli peške u manastir i prolazili kilometre zastajali bi kod ovog spomenika da se odmore, okrepe, pomole i nastave hodočašće u manastir. Misli su me vratile u prošlost i shvatio sam jednu bitnu istinu. Danas smo svi pod stresom i žalimo se na razne bolesti. Razlog tome je zato što stalno negde žurimo i ne umemo da zastanemo i odmorimo. Zato je čovečanstvo danas u ozbiljnom problemu. Jedni jure novac, drugi jure za raznim porocima. Niko neće da stane i na trenutak da se pomoli Bogu. Ovaj spomenik kraj puta je mene naveo da zatanem i shvatim ovu istinu. U životu trebamo da zastanemo i da se opustimo i sve svoje brige i probleme predamo Bogu. Tada ćemo naći mir u duši i lek za mnoge bolesti koje muče savremenog čoveka.
