\u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul Victorin vizita an de an, de hram, Biserica Sf. Nicolae din Queens. Eram foarte emo\u021biona\u021bi de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd \u00eel vedeam. Ne m\u00e2ng\u00e2ia cu privirea lui cald\u0103 \u0219i cu vorbele bl\u00e2nde. A iubit lumea, a iubit slujbele Bisericii \u0219i a iubit corul nostru. Avea pentru fiecare dintre noi un cuv\u00e2nt de \u00eencurajare, de m\u00e2ng\u00e2iere. Sim\u021beam mult\u0103 pace, lini\u0219te \u0219i bucurie \u00een preajma Sfin\u021biei Sale. \u00cen timpul Sfintei Liturghii, ochii lui erau mereu \u00eenl\u0103crima\u021bi. A fost de o smerenie deosebit\u0103. Avea ve\u0219mintele uzate \u0219i c\u0103l\u0103torea doar cu autobuzul. Credeam c\u0103 nu are alte ve\u0219minte \u0219i am men\u021bionat p\u0103rintelui Vasile Vasilache: \u201eP\u0103rinte, ce crede\u021bi, s\u0103 facem rost de un ve\u0219m\u00e2nt nou pentru \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul?\u201d P\u0103rintele Vasile ne-a r\u0103spuns: \u201eDa, pute\u021bi s\u0103-i lua\u021bi ve\u0219minte noi. Dar el tot pe acestea o s\u0103 le poarte, iar pe cele noi o s\u0103 le fac\u0103 cadou cuiva.\u201d Era foarte modest, foarte simplu \u0219i nu-l interesau cele materiale. \u00centotdeauna avea buzunarele pline cu bomboane pe care le \u00eemp\u0103r\u021bea copiilor dup\u0103 Sf\u00e2nta Liturghie.<\/p>

Dup\u0103 slujb\u0103, \u00eengenuncheam \u00een fa\u021ba altarului, iar IPS Victorin \u00ee\u0219i punea ve\u0219mintele peste noi \u0219i se ruga pentru sufletele noastre. Erau momente foarte puternice. Oamenii pl\u00e2ngeau. Sim\u021beam cum Harul Domnului Se pogora peste noi.<\/p>

\u00centr-un an, s\u0103rb\u0103toarea Sf\u00e2ntului Nicolae a fost \u00eentr-o Duminic\u0103, iar \u00een familia noastr\u0103 el este patronul casei. Doream at\u00e2ta de mult s\u0103-l avem \u0219i pe IPS Victorin \u00eempreun\u0103 cu p\u0103rintele Vasile la noi, dar n-am \u00eendr\u0103znit s\u0103 ne adres\u0103m direct \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021biei Sale. P\u0103rintele Vasile ne-a \u00eencurajat s\u0103 mergem cu \u00eendr\u0103zneal\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103-l rug\u0103m. Spre surprinderea noastr\u0103, \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul a acceptat invita\u021bia cu bucurie.<\/p>

Odat\u0103 ce-am ajuns acas\u0103, \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul \u0219i P\u0103rintele Vasile au f\u0103cut rug\u0103ciuni, au t\u0103iat colacul, \u0219i am luat masa \u00eempreun\u0103 cu to\u021bii. Am c\u00e2ntat multe colinde, iar \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul \u0219i p\u0103rintele Vasile ne-au spus cuvinte de \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103tur\u0103.<\/p>

\u00cen perioada aceea s-a auzit de un nou sf\u00e2nt rom\u00e2n, Sf\u00e2ntul Ioan Iacob Hozevitul, despre care nu am \u0219tiut. Am \u00eentrebat pe \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul dac\u0103 l-a cunoscut, la care \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul a z\u00e2mbit spun\u00e2ndu-ne c\u0103 l-a primit la M\u0103n\u0103stirea Neam\u021b, iar mai t\u00e2rziu au slujit \u00eempreun\u0103 la Locurile Sfinte. La \u00eentrebarea cum arat\u0103 un sf\u00e2nt pe p\u0103m\u00e2nt, \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul a r\u0103spuns: \u201eCe s\u0103 v\u0103 spun? Nu s-a sup\u0103rat niciodat\u0103.\u201d To\u021bi am r\u0103mas cu privirea \u00eencremenit\u0103 \u0219i ne treceau \u0219i lacrimile.<\/p>

La plecare, \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul ne-a p\u0103r\u0103sit cu urm\u0103toarele cuvinte: \u201eSunt nespus de fericit c\u0103 am participat la aceast\u0103 s\u0103rb\u0103toare \u0219i m\u0103 simt at\u00e2t de bine, de parc\u0103 sunt \u00een Bucovina mea, pentru c\u0103 \u0219i la mine acas\u0103 e patronul Sf\u00e2ntul Nicolae.\u201d<\/p>

La desp\u0103r\u021bire ne-a binecuv\u00e2ntat pe to\u021bi cei prezen\u021bi \u0219i ne-am luat r\u0103mas bun. Din p\u0103cate, aceasta a fost ultima \u00eent\u00e2lnire.<\/p>

Anecdote<\/strong><\/p>

\u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul a \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219it \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103ri din via\u021ba sfin\u021biei sale. \u00centr-o c\u0103l\u0103torie \u00een Canada, a ajuns la vam\u0103 \u0219i nu \u0219i-a g\u0103sit pa\u0219aportul. Poli\u021bia de frontier\u0103 l-a cobor\u00e2t din autobuz, dar \u00eentre timp \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul \u0219i-a g\u0103sit documentele. C\u00e2nd au aflat c\u0103 \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul era cet\u0103\u021bean de onoare al ora\u0219ului Winnipeg, \u0219i-au cerut scuze, iar \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul nu s-a sup\u0103rat nici un pic.<\/p>

P\u0103rintele Vasile Vasilache \u00eel a\u0219tepta cu m\u00e2ncare: sarmale lene\u0219e. Adic\u0103, f\u0103cute din varz\u0103 tocat\u0103 cu orez. \u00cenaltpreasfin\u021bitul i-a zis p\u0103rintelui Vasilache: \u201eTu e\u0219ti lene\u0219, nu sarmalele.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
