Nu \u0219tiu cu ce s\u0103 \u00eencep, dar poate este bine s\u0103 \u00eencep cu minunea care s-a petrecut c\u00e2nd ne-am dus s\u0103 aprindem o lum\u00e2nare la Putna, unde \u00ee\u0219i doarme somnul de veci, al\u0103turi de marele Sf\u00e2nt Voievod \u0218tefan cel Mare, st\u00e2nd straj\u0103 la hotarele de nord ale \u021b\u0103rii \u0219i la hotarele duhovnice\u0219ti ale rom\u00e2nilor.<\/p>

Era o zi de var\u0103 \u00een luna august. Am plecat din R\u0103d\u0103u\u021bi unde trebuia s\u0103 ne \u00eentoarcem pentru c\u0103 \u00een ziua aceea urma s\u0103 cunun\u0103m, s\u0103 fim na\u0219ii unor prieteni de suflet. Noi veni\u021bi din Canada, ei din Italia. Era \u00eentr-o zi de duminic\u0103. Drumul dinspre Putna spre R\u0103d\u0103u\u021bi era plin de ma\u0219ini blocate \u00een trafic \u0219i ne-am \u00eengrijorat g\u00e2ndind c\u0103 nu ne vom putea \u00eentoarce \u00een timp. Dar am continuat drumul cu \u00eencredin\u021barea c\u0103 nu ne va l\u0103sa \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul P\u0103rinte Victorin \u0219i c\u0103 ne va ajuta s\u0103 ne \u00eentoarcem cu bine \u0219i \u00een timp. Am ajuns la Sf\u00e2nta M\u0103n\u0103stire, ne-am \u00eenchinat la morm\u00e2ntul \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitului, i-am mul\u021bumit c\u0103 ne-a ajutat s\u0103 ajungem la sfin\u021bia sa pentru a ne ruga. Astfel ne-am \u00eentors la R\u0103d\u0103u\u021bi pe un drum deschis, liber \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 trafic, a\u0219a \u00eenc\u00e2t am ajuns la timp ca s\u0103 putem onora datoria de na\u0219i.<\/p>

Pe \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul Victorin l-am perceput ca pe un om foarte delicat \u0219i foarte, foarte, foarte modest. Un om mic la stat \u0219i mare la sfat. Fiecare \u00eent\u00e2lnire cu preasfin\u021bia sa a fost deosebit\u0103. C\u00e2nd venea \u00een vizit\u0103 la catedrala noastr\u0103, adesea intra f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 fie \u00eent\u00e2mpinat cu c\u00e2nt\u0103rile \u0219i onorurile de care se bucur\u0103 \u00eenalta ierarhie a Bisericii Ortodoxe. El intra ultimul, duc\u00e2ndu-\u0219i singur servieta neagra, ridic\u00e2ndu-\u0219i straiele s\u0103 poat\u0103 urca sc\u0103rile, deschiz\u00e2nd u\u0219a bisericii ca s\u0103 intre enoria\u0219ii \u00eenaintea sfin\u021biei sale. Dac\u0103 se \u00eent\u00e2mpla s\u0103 se afle prin preajm\u0103 vreun copila\u0219, se oprea \u00eendat\u0103, \u0219i se c\u0103uta prin buzunare, care erau pline de bomboane, special preg\u0103tite pentru copii. A\u0219a l-am cunoscut pe \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul. Am c\u00e2ntat odat\u0103 la stran\u0103 c\u00e2nd sfin\u021bia sa a s\u0103v\u00e2r\u0219it Sf\u00e2nta Liturghie \u0219i s-a grabit s\u0103 m\u0103 pl\u0103teasc\u0103 la sf\u00e2r\u0219it, cumva surprinz\u00e2ndu-m\u0103, pentru c\u0103 nu a\u0219teptam plata \u0219i cu at\u00e2t mai mult din parte unui episcop. M-a impresionat profund c\u00e2nd a insistat s\u0103 primesc darul, \u0219i pentru c\u0103 venea cu o a\u0219a binecuv\u00e2ntare din m\u00e2na lui, nu am putut refuza. La acea parohie micu\u021b\u0103, slujise cu pu\u021bin timp \u00eenainte un alt p\u0103rinte deosebit cu inima de aur \u0219i cu ochii alba\u0219tri, infinit de frumo\u0219i, cu o bl\u00e2nde\u021be pe chip extraordinar\u0103, cu p\u0103rul \u0219i barba albe ca de sfin\u021bi, p\u0103rintele Vasile Vasilache, venit \u0219i el \u00een slujirea Ortodoxiei dup\u0103 ce gustase tratamentele antihristice din pu\u0219c\u0103riile comuniste.<\/p>

M-a durut foarte tare sufletul s\u0103 fiu martora unor evenimente \u00eendreptate f\u0103r\u0103 nicio justificare \u00eempotriva \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitului p\u0103rinte Victorin c\u00e2nd la unul din Congresele Episcopiei unii preo\u021bi l-au nec\u0103jit cumplit de tare spre sf\u00e2r\u0219itul vie\u021bii \u0219i slujirii sfin\u021biei sale. Cred c\u0103 Dumnezeu a \u00eeng\u0103duit \u0219i aceast\u0103 \u00eencercare ad\u0103ugat\u0103 nesf\u00e2r\u0219itului num\u0103r de suferin\u021be \u0219i \u00eencerc\u0103ri pe care le-a tr\u0103it de-a lungul vie\u021bii ca s\u0103 \u00eei fac\u0103 cununa \u0219i mai mare. La acest congres ru\u0219inos, l-a\u0219 putea numi, unii preo\u021bi i-au cerut s\u0103 abdice, motiv\u00e2nd v\u00e2rsta sa \u00eenaintat\u0103 \u2026 Dac\u0103 doreau schimbare \u0219i noutate, nu \u00eei \u00eempiedicau cu nimic slujirea, eforturile \u0219i sacrificiile \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitului Victorin, care, nec\u0103ut\u00e2nd vreodat\u0103 fal\u0103 \u0219i onoruri, \u0219i-a ap\u0103rat pozi\u021bia de slujire arhiereasc\u0103 sus\u021bin\u00e2nd c\u0103 nicic\u00e2nd \u00een istoria Ortodoxiei un episcop nu a ie\u0219it la pensie, el fiind l\u0103sat s\u0103 moar\u0103 \u00een scaunul \u0219i \u00een chemarea de episcop. Am sim\u021bit durere mare \u00een glasul preasfin\u021biei sale, dar s-a aflat \u00eenc\u0103 o dat\u0103 drept \u00een pozi\u021bie de ap\u0103rare a tradi\u021biei ortodoxe \u0219i nu a lui personal\u0103.<\/p>

Am cunoscut personal familia Alexe, pe domnul George Alexe, doctor \u00een teologie, dar \u0219i el de o modestie greu de descris \u0219i pe doamna Ruxandra Alexe, absolvent\u0103 de Belle Arte, care au tr\u0103it \u0219i au slujit \u00eempreun\u0103 cu \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul ani de zile Ortodoxia \u0219i neamul rom\u00e2nesc. De la doamna Ruxandra (Didi) Alexe am aflat c\u0103 \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul nu l\u0103sa pe nimeni s\u0103 \u00eei spele ve\u0219mintele. De la domnul Alexe am aflat c\u0103 adesea mergea s\u0103 \u00eei duc\u0103 de m\u00e2ncare \u00een camer\u0103 Preasfin\u021biei Sale \u0219i realizase c\u0103 prefera aceasta pentru c\u0103 nu st\u0103tea la mas\u0103, ci m\u00e2nca de pe un scaun \u00een genunchi, \u00een permanent\u0103 rug\u0103ciune. Postea foarte mult \u0219i se ruga foarte mult. Prefera s\u0103 treac\u0103 neobservat \u0219i s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 \u00eentr-adev\u0103r respect\u00e2nd toate valorile monahale ale castit\u0103\u021bii, ale s\u0103r\u0103ciei, ale rug\u0103ciunii permanente. Impresionant era \u0219i felul cum c\u0103l\u0103torea c\u0103tre toate parohiile de pe \u00eentinsul \u0219i largul continent nord American \u00een autocare, dormind prin sta\u021bii de autobuz, adeseori fiind jefuit, b\u0103tut, bruscat. Am aflat acestea tot din m\u0103rturiile domnului Alexe. Nu avea automobil personal \u0219i nici c\u0103lug\u0103ri \u0219i c\u0103lug\u0103ri\u021be care s\u0103 \u00eei slujeasc\u0103. A tr\u0103it \u0219i a slujit ca un om profund duhovnicesc \u0219i eu \u00eentotdeauna l-am perceput ca pe un sf\u00e2nt.<\/p>

Cum i-a fost via\u021ba, a\u0219a \u0219i plecarea. A fost g\u0103sit \u00een spital pe jos, cu firele de la ma\u0219in\u0103riile care \u00eei sus\u021bineau via\u021ba trase\u2026 \u0219i parc\u0103 iar cu r\u0103ni pe trup, a\u0219a m\u0103rturisea domnul Alexe cu durere. La priveghi au fost foarte pu\u021bini oameni, iar permanent cu preasfin\u021bia sa a fost o cre\u0219tin\u0103 care avea mul\u021bi copii \u0219i care era foarte, foarte credincioas\u0103. \u00cen simplitate \u0219i modestie a tr\u0103it, \u00een simplitate \u0219i modestie cu mari, foarte mari sacrificii a slujit, iar cu aceea\u0219i simplitate \u0219i modestie s-a dus la Domnul, de unde sunt convins\u0103 c\u0103 se roag\u0103 pentru noi, pentru sufletele noastre.<\/p>

Dumnezeu s\u0103 \u00eel odihneasc\u0103 cu sfin\u021bii \u0219i ve\u0219nic\u0103 s\u0103 fie pomenirea lui din neam \u00een neam!<\/p>
