Paul l-a \u00eent\u00e2lnit pe Arhimandritul Victorin \u00een Palestina, \u00eentre anii 1946 \u0219i 1948, \u00eenaintea exodului unei mari p\u0103r\u021bi a palestinienilor din patria lor \u00een 1948.<\/p>

El spunea mereu c\u0103 Arhimandritul Victorin era un sf\u00e2nt, un mare stare\u021b, un b\u0103tr\u00e2n \u0219i p\u0103rinte duhovnicesc \u00een adev\u0103ratul sens al cuv\u00e2ntului. \u0218tia urm\u0103toarele despre chemarea monahal\u0103 a p\u0103rintelui Victorin:<\/p>

La terminarea studiilor teologice \u0219i \u00een timpul \u0219ederii sale la Seminarul M\u0103n\u0103stirii Neam\u021b, \u0219i-a descoperit chemarea monahal\u0103 \u0219i s-a hot\u0103r\u00e2t s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 permanent la Neam\u021b. \u0218i-a anun\u021bat p\u0103rin\u021bii prin telefon despre hot\u0103r\u00e2rea lui. Spre mirarea lui, am\u00e2ndoi p\u0103rin\u021bii au venit la m\u0103n\u0103stire \u00een ziua urm\u0103toare, dis-de-diminea\u021b\u0103, \u00eentr-un taxi plin cu dulciuri \u0219i daruri, exprim\u00e2ndu-\u0219i astfel marea lor bucurie pentru hot\u0103r\u00e2rea fiului lor. Atitudinea lor a fost o mare surpriz\u0103 pentru fiul lor. Dar mama lui i-a dest\u0103inuit un secret pe care l-a \u021binut ascuns \u00een inima ei mul\u021bi ani: ea dintotdeauna \u0219i-a dorit s\u0103 devin\u0103 monahie \u0219i chiar s-a dus la o m\u0103n\u0103stire s\u0103 se \u00eenchinovieze, dar au venit p\u0103rin\u021bii ei \u0219i au for\u021bat-o s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103 acas\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 se m\u0103rite (cu tat\u0103l Episcopului Victorin). \u00cenainte de a pleca din m\u0103n\u0103stire, s-a rugat cu lacrimi \u00eenaintea icoanei Maicii Domnului deasupra por\u021bii m\u0103n\u0103stirii, zic\u00e2nd: \u201ePreasf\u00e2nt\u0103 Maic\u0103, eu niciodat\u0103 nu voi putea deveni c\u0103lug\u0103ri\u021b\u0103, ci \u00een cur\u00e2nd m\u0103 voi m\u0103rita! Te rog, r\u00e2nduie\u0219te ca unul dintre copiii mei s\u0103 devin\u0103 monah sau monahie!\u201d \u00centr-adev\u0103r, Preasf\u00e2nta i-a \u00eemplinit rug\u0103ciunea \u0219i l-a chemat pe fiul ei s\u0103 devin\u0103 monah la Neam\u021b.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Paul mai povestea:<\/p>

P\u0103rintele Victorin a devenit un monah \u0219i un duhovnic iscusit \u0219i a fost ales stare\u021b al M\u0103n\u0103stirii Neam\u021b \u00eentr-o vreme c\u00e2nd via\u021ba monahal\u0103 \u00eenflorea \u00een acest centru duhovnicesc. Din experien\u021ba sa duhovniceasc\u0103 la Neam\u021b, spunea c\u0103 r\u0103zboiul nev\u0103zut devine extrem de intens \u00eenaintea tunderii unui monah. Diavolul face absolut orice pentru a-i scoate pe fra\u021bi din m\u0103n\u0103stire \u0219i a-i \u00eentoarce \u00een lume, \u00een ultimele zile dinaintea tunderii lor \u00een monahism. Pentru acest motiv, stare\u021bii de la Neam\u021b aveau obiceiul de a-i \u021bine pe ace\u0219ti fra\u021bi \u00een chilia lor zi \u0219i noapte ca s\u0103-i ajute s\u0103-l \u00eenfrunte pe vr\u0103jma\u0219ul \u0219i ispitele lui.<\/p>

Mai t\u00e2rziu, Stare\u021bul Victorin s-a retras \u00een \u021aara Sf\u00e2nt\u0103 \u0219i a r\u0103mas acolo ca reprezentant al Bisericii Rom\u00e2ne \u00een Ierusalim.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Odat\u0103 \u00een Palestina, Paul c\u0103l\u0103torea cu trenul \u00eempreun\u0103 cu Arhimandritul Victorin \u00een timp de iarn\u0103. O mam\u0103 \u0219i feti\u021ba ei au intrat \u00een vagon, c\u0103r\u00e2nd diferite obiecte pe care le cump\u0103raser\u0103. Dar feti\u021ba a c\u0103zut \u0219i a sc\u0103pat saco\u0219ele pe care le c\u0103ra \u0219i con\u021binutul lor s-au \u00eempr\u0103\u0219tiat peste tot \u00een vagon. Mama s-a m\u00e2niat at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t a \u00eenceput s\u0103 o bat\u0103. P\u0103rintele Victorin i-a spus lui Paul: \u201eIat\u0103 cum ne comport\u0103m noi cu oamenii care cad! \u00cei batem \u00een loc s\u0103-i comp\u0103timim \u00een durerea lor \u0219i s\u0103-i ajut\u0103m s\u0103 se ridice!\u201d<\/p>

Nu \u00een ultimul r\u00e2nd avem m\u0103rturia lui Paul despre vizita Arhimandritului Victorin \u00een Liban, c\u00e2ndva \u00eentre 1949 \u0219i 1956:<\/p>

St\u0103team \u0219i vorbeam cu el \u00een biroul cunoscutului politician libanez Habib Abou-Shahla din Beirut, unde lucram pe atunci. O femeie a intrat \u00een birou av\u00e2nd de terminat treaba, dar s-a oprit brusc \u0219i a r\u0103mas ca o stan\u0103 de piatr\u0103 uit\u00e2ndu-se la P\u0103rintele Victorin pre\u021b de c\u00e2teva minute. Am salutat-o \u0219i am \u00eentrebat-o dac\u0103 c\u0103uta ceva anume, dar ea a nu a zis nimic \u0219i \u00eel privea \u00eensp\u0103im\u00e2ntat\u0103 pe P\u0103rintele Victorin. Apoi a intrat \u00een camera de al\u0103turi, \u0219i-a terminat treaba \u0219i a ie\u0219it. \u00cenainte s\u0103 plece din birou, s-a apropriat de mine \u0219i m-a \u00eentrebat \u0219optit la ureche: \u201eCine este acest preot?\u201d I-am spus: \u201eUn p\u0103rinte din Rom\u00e2nia.\u201d Ea a zis: \u201eAcesta nu este un preot obi\u0219nuit, fa\u021ba lui str\u0103luce\u0219te ca soarele! Ochii lui str\u0103lucesc ca soarele!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>
