\"\"Dup\u0103 mine, credin\u021ba trebuie tr\u0103it\u0103 nu povestit\u0103, ca \u0219i emo\u021biile de zi cu zi timp de peste 30 de ani petrecu\u021bi \u00een prezen\u021ba \u00cenaltului Arhiepiscop Victorin. O persoan\u0103 at\u00e2t de deosebit\u0103 cu o tr\u0103ire \u00eentru cu totul alt\u0103 lume, mult mai bun\u0103, \u0219i asta se vedea dup\u0103 senin\u0103tatea fe\u021bei, lini\u0219tea, pacea, mul\u021bumirea \u0219i bun\u0103tatea sufleteasc\u0103.<\/p>

De obicei preo\u021bii trimi\u0219i din \u021bar\u0103 pentru parohiile vacante din America, de la aeroport primul popas \u00eel f\u0103ceau la Arhiepiscopie pentru luarea de cuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103. \u0218i dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva zile, o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103, mergeau la parohiile respectiv.<\/p>

Noi, eu \u0219i so\u021bul meu Gheorghe Alexe, am sosit la Detroit prin Canada, \u00een 1971, pentru activit\u0103\u021bi culturale la Departamentul de Publica\u021bii \u0219i practic nu aveam unde pleca. Plus c\u0103 la arhiepiscopie \u00cenaltul nu avea niciun ajutor de nici un fel. C\u00e2nd suna un vizitator la u\u0219\u0103, \u00eel poftea s\u0103 ia loc \u0219i \u00cenaltul mergea \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie s\u0103 preg\u0103teasc\u0103 o trata\u021bie \u2013 ceai, cafea etc.<\/p>

Patriarhia cuno\u0219tea acest lucru \u0219i a trimis \u00een c\u00e2teva r\u00e2nduri pe c\u00e2te cineva dar fiind tot preo\u021bi \u2013 c\u0103lug\u0103ri, ace\u0219tia ajun\u0219i aici, vroiau s\u0103 mearg\u0103 \u00een parohii \u0219i \u00cenaltul era de acord fiindc\u0103 erau parohii vacante. \u00cens\u0103, cum unele biserici nu aveau \u00eenc\u0103 posibilitatea de a g\u0103zdui un preot permanent, r\u0103m\u00e2neau cu re\u0219edin\u021ba tot \u00een Detroit la arhiepiscopie, f\u0103c\u00e2nd naveta. Aici era nevoie de m\u00e2n\u0103 de lucru. La parter nu era nici o sob\u0103 de g\u0103tit. Era una la etaj unde erau dormitoarele p\u0103rin\u021bilor \u0219i alta la subsol f\u0103r\u0103 nici o chiuvet\u0103 \u00een preajm\u0103. Nu se organizase o \u201etrapez\u0103\u201d. Fiecare \u00ee\u0219i avea un raft al lui \u00een frigider \u0219i mesele se serveau individual, pe r\u00e2nd.<\/p>

Ori eu am \u00eenceput s\u0103 g\u0103tesc \u0219i s\u0103-i invit la mas\u0103 pe cei prezen\u021bi, sf\u00e2r\u0219ind prin a suna clopo\u021belul la ora pr\u00e2nzului \u0219i adun\u00e2ndu-i pe to\u021bi \u00een jurul mesei. Dar pentru asta trebuiau ni\u0219te bani. \u0218i atunci, \u00cenaltul, cu tactica d\u00e2nsului, pe t\u0103cute, a pus pe raftul bibliotecii din sufragerie o \u201ecutiu\u021b\u0103\u201d pe care to\u021bi au ignorat-o la \u00eenceput, ba-mi mai \u0219i spuneau c\u0103 eu nu sunt obligat\u0103 s\u0103 le g\u0103tesc. Dar cum puteam eu s\u0103 fiu indiferent\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 las pe \u00cenaltul s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i preg\u0103teasc\u0103 singur masa c\u00e2nd avea at\u00e2tea pe cap rezolv\u00e2nd problemele parohiilor \u00een curs de \u00eenfiin\u021bare?<\/p>

Personal m-am sim\u021bit ca acas\u0103 unde eram cinci surori ale unor p\u0103rin\u021bi foarte \u00een\u021belep\u021bi, harnici, gospodari \u0219i cu fric\u0103 de Dumnezeu, care nu ne certau \u0219i doar ne pov\u0103\u021buiau \u0219i ne tot d\u0103deau exemple de ce-i bine \u0219i ce-i r\u0103u. \u0218i dac\u0103 \u00een timpul \u0219colii ne vedeam toate de lec\u021biile respective, nu era la fel \u0219i pe timpul vacan\u021belor, c\u00e2nd toate trebuia s\u0103 d\u0103m o bun\u0103 m\u00e2n\u0103 de ajutor \u00een gospod\u0103rie. C\u0103 toate trebuiau r\u0103s\u0103dite, udate, plivite, plus vie\u021buitoarele hr\u0103nite. A\u0219a c\u0103 fiecare aveam r\u0103spunderi dup\u0103 v\u00e2rst\u0103.<\/p>

Americanii \u0219i canadienii l-au apreciat foarte mult pe \u00cenaltul Victorin onor\u00e2ndu-l \u00een toate ocaziile \u0219i particip\u00e2nd la manifest\u0103rile rom\u00e2ne\u0219ti unde era prezent.<\/p>

\"\"La bisericile unde nu aveau un preot permanent se trimiteau prin rota\u021bie din preo\u021bii de la re\u0219edin\u021b\u0103, dar de cele mai multe ori \u0219i spre bucuria credincio\u0219ilor mergea \u00cenaltul Victorin chiar dac\u0103 distan\u021bele erau mari \u0219i circula de obicei cu autobuzul. Nu numai c\u0103 nu-i pl\u0103cea cu avionul dar nu vroia ca parohia s\u0103 cheltuiasc\u0103 prea mult cu deplas\u0103rile \u0219i unele drumuri erau de c\u00e2te trei zile \u0219i dou\u0103 nop\u021bi.<\/p>

\u00cenaltul nu d\u0103dea de obicei \u201eordin\u201d, ci \u00eentreba, c\u00e2nd avea nevoie de un ajutor, \u201ePo\u021bi s\u0103 faci cutare lucru?\u201d \u0218i dac\u0103 r\u0103spunsul era pozitiv, venea cu a doua \u00eentrebare, \u201eDar vrei?\u201d A\u0219a c\u0103 ne l\u0103sa pe fiecare s\u0103 alegem.<\/p>

To\u021bi banii ce-i primea ca dona\u021bii pentru arhiepiscopie, c\u00e2te 10,000 \u2013 20,000 de dolari, \u00eei trimitea la parohiile \u00een construc\u021bie sau la pictarea bisericilor \u0219i spunea \u201eP\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd nu v\u0103d bisericile terminate \u0219i cu case parohiale nu fac nici un fel de renov\u0103ri la re\u0219edin\u021b\u0103.\u201d \u0218i de fapt c\u00e2nd a venit \u00een America a venit cu g\u00e2ndul de a aduna ceva din eventualele c\u0103r\u021bi tip\u0103rite, pentru a-i ajuta pe c\u0103lug\u0103rii \u0219i m\u0103icu\u021bele de la Ierusalim care tr\u0103iau \u00een mari lipsuri. \u0218i chiar spunea c\u0103 nu \u0219i-a \u00eenchipuit c\u0103 \u00eentr-o Americ\u0103 at\u00e2t de bogat\u0103 va g\u0103si aici at\u00e2ta s\u0103r\u0103cie.<\/p>

\u00cenaltul Victorin a fost un c\u0103lug\u0103r adev\u0103rat, cum \u00eenv\u0103\u021basem eu acas\u0103, care \u0219i-a respectat cu sfin\u021benie posturile \u0219i cu stricte\u021be canoanele Sfin\u021bilor P\u0103rin\u021bi. \u00cemi pare bine c\u0103 ajung\u00e2nd \u0219i noi c\u00e2ndva \u00een M\u0103n\u0103stioara (ce sugestiv nume), cunosc\u00e2nd-o pe mama Natalia, doi fra\u021bi, o sor\u0103 \u0219i doi nepo\u021bi, am \u00eent\u00e2lnit parte din familie.<\/p>

Dumnezeu s\u0103-l odihneasc\u0103 \u00een pace, s\u0103-l a\u0219eze \u00een r\u00e2ndul drep\u021bilor \u0219i s\u0103 ne ajute \u00een continuare de acolo de unde este. Amin.<\/p>
