<A HREF=http://www.montenet.org/religion/stpetarbig.jpg><img src=" http://www.mitropolija.cg.yu/istbibl/img/svpetar.gif" width="100" height="150" border="0" align="left" alt="Sv. Petar Cetinjski"> </A> St. Peter of Cetinje was born on April 1st, 1749, in the village of Njegus<I>h</I>i, and became a monk at the age of twelve. In 1782, he became both Metropolitan and ruler of Montenegro. This holy man devoted his whole life to his people. Within Montenegro, he worked with his all strength to pacify the warring clans and established the first Montenegrin Code of Law. Externally he tirelessly defended Montenegro and its people against the plundering onslaughts of enemies. The semi-autonomous region of Brda <I>(the Highlands)</I>, whose inhabitants supported him in his struggles, was finally incorporated into Montenegro during his life-time. St. Peter was strict with himself, and just and humble towards others. He lived a life of prayer in one tiny cell as a simple monk, although he was the ruler of a country. With his steadfast faith, love, patience, purity, meekness, and good works, he was able to pacify a stubborn and unruly people, who had hitherto refused to submit even to the mightiest powers on earth. He entered into rest on October 18th, 1830, at the age of 81. His myrrh-streaming relics are preserved incorrupt in the monastery of Cetinje. The Lord glorified him both in heaven and on earth as His true and faithful servant.<BR><BR>

<IMG SRC="/art/bullets/Redball.gif"><B> Поуке из посланица св. Петра<BR> <BR>
Него добро разсудите и спомените се, љубезна браћо, да сада стоји срећа или несрећа у ваше руке. Ако ви будете међу сложни и послушни, све ће добро и лијепо бит и то ће вам похвалу и поштење донијети; ако ли онако (не) учините, сва ће кривица на вас остати и ви ћете сами себе постиђети и своје поштење увриједити. Тога ради вас молим и страшнијем Богом Вседржитељем заклињем да сви у слогу и у согласије радите за обште народње добро. Ако ли се нађе који међу вама да започне чинити што поради мита и хајтера, таквога имате свиколици исћерат између себе, јер није мјесто међу вама и да вашу слогу не размеће.<BR><BR>( Из посланице Кметовима, 1818. г.)

Ђе је зрно клицу заметнуло,
онде нека и плодом почине.
је ли инстинкт ал' духовни вођа,
Овде људско запире познање!
Вук на овцу своје право има
ка тирјанин на слаба човјека.
Ал' тирјанству стати ногом за врат,
довести га к познанију права,
то је људска дужност најсветија!
Ако сабљу пољубиш крваву
и запловиш у ноћне валове,
сљедује ти праху светковање. <BR><BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

He also served as interim pastor of Holy Annunciation Romanian Orthodox Parish and St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Parish (OCA), both in the Sydney metropolitan area.<BR> <BR>
In 1996, Fr. Andrew arrived in the Caribbean where he established St. Spyridon's Orthodox Church, the first Orthodox Parish in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
