\"\"Sunt mari \u0219i de mare folos sfaturile biblice \u0219i unul din ele este \u0219i acesta care \u00eendeamn\u0103: \u201eAduce\u021bi-v\u0103 aminte de mai marii vo\u0219tri, care v-au gr\u0103it vou\u0103 cuv\u00e2ntul lui Dumnezeu; la a c\u0103ror s\u0103v\u00e2r\u0219ire<\/em> lu\u00e2nd seama, urma\u021bi-le credin\u021ba<\/em>\u201d (Evrei 13, 7). Unul din \u201emai marii mei\u201d a fost \u0219i vrednicul de aducere aminte, vl\u0103dica Victorin Ursache, sub omoforul c\u0103ruia \u0219i sub a c\u0103rui p\u0103rinteasc\u0103 purtare de gij\u0103 am petrecut mai bine de 19 ani dup\u0103 ce am p\u0103\u0219it \u00een America (1982) \u0219i p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een ziua c\u00e2nd el s-a mutat la Domnul, 16 iulie 2001. M\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc s\u0103 adaug aici c\u0103 p\u0103rintele Arhiepiscop Victorin nu mi-a fost doar \u201emai marele\u201d, \u00een \u00een\u021beles de puterea sau responsabilitate administrativ-ierarhic\u0103, ci a\u0219 aduce \u00een aten\u021bie un alt sfat biblic care ne \u00eenva\u021b\u0103 c\u0103: \u201ede-a\u021bi avea zeci de mii de \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103tori \u00een Hristos, totu\u0219i nu ave\u021bi mul\u021bi p\u0103rin\u021bi\u201d <\/em>(1 Corinteni 4, 15).<\/p>

Cum a\u0219 zugr\u0103vi eu acest chip de p\u0103rinte al Arhiepiscopului Victorin, chiar \u0219i dup\u0103 21 de ani de la trecerea sa la Domnul? V\u0103d \u0219i acum privirea-i bl\u00e2nd\u0103 \u0219i fa\u021ba sur\u00e2z\u0103toare cu care m-a \u00eent\u00e2mpinat la \u00eent\u00e2lnirea de prezentare, dup\u0103 ce am sosit \u00een America. Ce putea fi mai m\u00e2ng\u00e2ietor dec\u00e2t un z\u00e2mbet \u00eencurajator pentru un om ce murea de dorul de cas\u0103, de so\u021bie \u0219i copii \u0219i de to\u021bi cei din \u021aar\u0103.<\/p>

Spunea un p\u0103rinte c\u0103 \u201efa\u021ba omului este oglinda sufletului s\u0103u<\/em>\u201d (dup\u0103 Arhim. Justinian Dalea). Curat i-a fost sufletul \u0219i plin\u0103 de bun\u0103tate inima sa! Ca s\u0103 ilustrez spusele acestea vreau s\u0103 aduc c\u00e2teva m\u0103rturii din experin\u021ba mea cu P\u0103rintele Arhiepiscop. Eram student, 1982-1984, \u0219i de Cr\u0103ciun \u0219i Pa\u0219ti primeam din partea sa c\u00e2te un cec de $100. Era o sum\u0103 deosebit\u0103 \u00een acei ani \u00een America! Recuno\u0219tin\u021ba mea a fost \u0219i mai aprins\u0103 c\u00e2nd, mai t\u00e2rziu am aflat c\u0103 de multe ori el nu reu\u0219ea s\u0103-\u0219i \u00eencaseze bruma de salar, datorit\u0103 slabei contribu\u021bii a parohiilor din Jurisdic\u021bia sa. \u00cemi mai amintesc c\u0103 de ziua mea venea prin telefon cu o voce bl\u00e2nd\u0103, un mesaj de felicitare. \u0218i f\u0103cea acest gest cu to\u021bi slujitorilor lui.<\/p>

Despre p\u0103rinteasca lui purtare de grij\u0103 \u0219i-au dat seama cre\u0219tinii eparhiei sale \u0219i ne-am convins to\u021bi c\u0103 este un adev\u0103rat propov\u0103duitor al Evangheliei lui Hristos, \u0219i cu cuv\u00e2ntul \u0219i cu fapta. Ascult\u00e2nd cuv\u00e2ntul \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103turilor sale g\u00e2ndeam to\u021bi c\u0103 am dob\u00e2ndit un p\u0103rinte sf\u00e2nt, care \u00eenva\u021b\u0103 cu putere.<\/p>

Vl\u0103dica Victorin poate fi amintit \u00een multe feluri. \u00cen timpul celor 35 de ani ai apostoliei sale pe continentul Nord American a \u00eent\u00e2lnit mul\u021bi oameni. \u00cel cuno\u0219teau bine chiar \u0219oferii de pe Grayhound, autobuz cu care a c\u0103l\u0103torit \u00een lungul \u0219i latul Americii cu Psaltirea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103. De aceea fiecare preot al s\u0103u \u0219i fiecare credincios care l-a cunoscut \u0219i-a f\u0103cut propia lui imagine despre acest slujitor al lui Hristos, bucovinean din cap p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een picioare, molcom, \u0219i cu deprinderi pastorale ad\u00e2nc \u00eenfipte \u00een solul Ortodoxiei rom\u00e2ne\u0219ti. Pleca \u00een misiunile pastorale \u00eenc\u0103rcat cu harul arhieriei \u0219i rev\u0103rsa roadele spirituale prin Sfintele Liturghii sau alte servicii religioase. Aducea \u0219i chipul c\u0103lug\u0103rului autentic format \u00een spiritualitatea m\u00e2n\u0103stirilor moldovene. Purta cu el \u0219i mireasma duhovniceasc\u0103 a \u021a\u0103rii Sfinte unde a petrecut c\u00e2\u021biva ani buni aproape de Betleem, de Iordan, de Golgota \u0219i mai ales apropiat de prietenul s\u0103u drag Ioan Iacob de la Neam\u021b, ast\u0103zi Sf\u00e2ntul Ioan Iacob Hozevitul, canonizat de Patriarhia Ierusalimului. C\u00e2nd venea \u00een parohie avea buzunarele reverenzii pline cu dulciuri pentru copii care d\u0103deau buzna \u00een jurul lui.<\/p>

A\u0219a a str\u0103lucit p\u0103rintele nostru Victorin \u0219i pe p\u0103m\u00e2ntul american, asemenea unui Apostol, lumin\u00e2nd inimile credincioilor cu focul sfintelor \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103turi \u0219i cu razele vie\u021bii sale smerite av\u00e2nd a sluji aici \u00een vremurile de trist\u0103 dezbinare a Episcopiei Ortodoxe Rom\u00e2ne \u00eentemeiat\u0103 de primul episcop, Policarp Moru\u0219ca.<\/p>

S-a str\u0103duit marele nostru ierarh s\u0103 se fac\u0103 tuturor toate!<\/p>
