14 august 1956
Detroit, USA<\/p>

\u00cenalt Preasfin\u021bite St\u0103p\u00e2ne,<\/p>

Cum V-am scris am ajuns cu bine \u0219i-n Statele Unite. La NY am stat vreo dou\u0103 zile numai. Am f\u0103cut o vizit\u0103 la Arhiepiscopia Grec Ortodox\u0103 \u0219i altor c\u00e2torva cunoscu\u021bi ai mei Ierusalimiteni, cari-i am acolo. La ei am \u0219i locuit a\u0219a c\u0103 n-am reu\u0219it s\u0103-nt\u00e2lnesc pe nimeni dintre rom\u00e2nii no\u0219tri de prin NY.<\/p>

Am venit la Detroit. Aici am \u201enimerit\u201d la pr. Moraru care mi-a oferit s\u0103 stau la casa lor parohial\u0103 sau cum \u00eei spun ei casa clerului \u00een care st\u0103 \u0219i PS Andrei. Cum stau? Cred c\u0103 v\u0103 \u00eenchipui\u021bi destul de bine: fiecare zi mi-e un an. Abia a\u0219tept s\u0103-mi pot aranja formalit\u0103\u021bile trebuitoare \u00een ce prive\u0219te \u0219ederea mea \u00een USA \u0219i mai ales vizita \u00een Canada. \u00cen adev\u0103r, cred \u0219i eu c\u0103-n USA n-am s\u0103 pot deloc prelungi \u0219ederea mea nici cel pu\u021bin cu vizita. M\u0103 aflu \u00eentr-o lume at\u00e2t de str\u0103in\u0103 \u00eenc\u00e2t \u00eemi vine s\u0103 iau primul vapor \u2013 spre Europa \u2013 \u0219i s\u0103 m\u0103 re\u00eentorc c\u00e2t mai cur\u00e2nd la lini\u0219tea Iordanului nostru, care de-aici \u00eei simt cu at\u00e2t mai mult valoarea \u0219i pentru via\u021ba ce mi-am ales-o.<\/p>

Ruga\u021bi-v\u0103 \u0219i IPS V s\u0103-mi ajute Bunul Dumnezeu s\u0103 trec \u0219i peste aceste \u00eencerc\u0103ri \u0219i ispite, \u0219i s\u0103-mi pot relua cel pu\u021bin libertatea, ce nu mi-am \u0219tiut-o pre\u021bui \u00een Ierusalim, de a r\u0103m\u00e2nea c\u0103lug\u0103r.<\/p>

Cu acelea\u0219i fie\u0219ti sentimente,
Arhim. Victorin<\/p>

Cred c\u0103-n vreo zi dou\u0103 s\u0103 v\u0103 dau o adres\u0103 mai stabil\u0103 pe care s\u0103-mi pute\u021bi scrie.<\/p>

Detroit 6 sept 1956<\/p>

\u00cenalt Preasfin\u021bite St\u0103p\u00e2ne,<\/p>

Se apropie o lun\u0103 de zile de c\u00e2nd am sosit aici \u0219i \u00eenc\u0103 n-am reu\u0219it s\u0103 m\u0103 orientez cel pu\u021bin ce am de f\u0103cut. Prea multele sf\u0103tuiri din care nu v\u0103d dec\u00e2t interesele personale ale \u201ebinevoitorilor\u201d m\u0103 fac s\u0103-mi trec zilele cu dureri de cap \u0219i nop\u021bi nedormite.<\/p>

M\u0103 g\u00e2ndeam s\u0103-i las pe to\u021bi a\u0219a cum i-am g\u0103sit \u0219i s\u0103 plec imediat \u00eenapoi la Ierusalim. Dar \u0219i acolo v\u0103d un semn de \u00eentrebare \u2013 cu Suezul.<\/p>

M\u0103 aflu \u00eenc\u0103 tot cu locuin\u021ba la Misiunea rom\u00e2neasc\u0103, de aici. Mai st\u0103 aici \u0219i un alt preot \u201ef\u0103r\u0103 parohie\u201d, nec\u0103jit \u0219i el c\u0103 \u0219i-a sacrificat libertatea profesiunii lui de mai-nainte \u2013 \u00eembr\u0103c\u00e2nd haina preo\u021beasc\u0103 (e hirotonit aici numai acum vreo c\u00e2\u021biva ani \u00een urm\u0103). PS Andrei nu e aici; de vreo trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni e plecat \u00een Canada. Dac\u0103 vine cred c\u0103, vrem nu vrem, ar trebui s\u0103 ne schimb\u0103m \u0219i locuin\u021ba. De altfel \u00een\u021beleg c\u0103 Pr. Moraru i-a \u0219i pus \u00een vedere celuilalt preot c\u0103 dac\u0103 vine PS nu va mai putea sta nimeni \u00eempreun\u0103 cu el.<\/p>

N-am f\u0103cut nimica nici pentru Ierusalim, c\u0103ci \u0219i cu formalit\u0103\u021bile \u0219ederii mele \u00een America, nu-s destul de l\u0103murit. \u00cen Canada nu mi se permite s\u0103 trec \u2013 cu un Laissez Passer \u2013 dec\u00e2t numai \u00een cazul c\u00e2nd a\u0219 avea viza de \u201epermanent resident\u201d \u00een USA. \u0218i pentru asta, sigur c-ar trebui s\u0103-mi prelungesc \u0219ederea mea cel pu\u021bin pe-un an de zile \u2013 aici. Pe de alt\u0103 parte, uneori prea descurajat \u00eemi vine s\u0103 iau numai valiza cea cu care am fost pe la IPS V ca s\u0103 nu mai am \u0219i grija bagajelor \u0219i s\u0103 merg s\u0103-mi recap\u0103t chilia mea lini\u0219tit\u0103 de l\u00e2ng\u0103 Biserica Sf\u00e2ntului Morm\u00e2nt. Poate c\u00e2te-odat\u0103 eram \u0219i acolo nemul\u021b\u0103mit \u0219i de aceea Dumnezeu m-a l\u0103sat s\u0103 gust \u0219i p\u00e2inea american\u0103.<\/p>

C\u00e2t privesc problemele biserice\u0219ti \u0219i ale rom\u00e2nilor de pe-aici, de\u0219i nu mi se par cu totul irezolvabile, totu\u0219i nu-mi pot permite \u00eenc\u0103 s\u0103-mi dau vreo p\u0103rere p\u00e2n\u0103 nu cunosc mai de-aproape \u0219i celelalte grup\u0103ri. Posibil v-a mai scris \u0219i PS Teofil. El vine adesea pe-aici \u0219i v\u0103d c\u0103 vorbe\u0219te \u0219i cu PS Andrei \u0219i se sbat \u00een toate direc\u021biile \u0219i spre nord \u0219i spre sud \u2013 cu mari n\u0103dejdi de biruin\u021b\u0103t \u00een \u201eluptele lor\u201d \u2013 dar cei mai pu\u021bin \u00eenh\u0103ma\u021bi la carele de lupt\u0103 cred c\u0103 numai un ierarh cu un trecut de activitate pastoral\u0103 \u0219i o autoritate moral\u0103 indiscutabil\u0103 \u2013 personal\u0103, ar mai putea salva via\u021ba bisericeasc\u0103 a rom\u00e2nilor de aici. De aceea mul\u021bi se g\u00e2ndesc la IPS Voastr\u0103, \u0219i se \u00eentreb\u0103 dac\u0103 a\u021bi primi, s\u0103 veni\u021bi, \u00een vreunul din Statele Americane.<\/p>

Trece\u021bi-le cu vederea \u2013 toate cele ce vi le scriu \u2013 c\u0103ci n-a\u0219 vrea cu necazurile mele s\u0103 v\u0103 produc vreo nelini\u0219te sufleteasc\u0103 \u0219i IPS Voastre. Eu n\u0103d\u0103jduiesc mereu \u2013 la mai bine \u2013 dar pentru c\u0103 \u201ebinele\u201d \u00eent\u00e2rzie, m-am g\u00e2ndit mai bine s\u0103 v\u0103 mai trimit aceste vreo c\u00e2teva r\u00e2nduri \u2013 dec\u00e2t s\u0103 v\u0103 cauzez \u00een altfel vreo nelini\u0219te sufleteasc\u0103, prin t\u0103cerea mea de prea lung\u0103 durat\u0103.<\/p>

Cu acelea\u0219i fie\u0219ti sentimente,
Arhim. Victorin<\/p>

Dac\u0103-mi pute\u021bi scrie ceva, trimite\u021bi-mi plicul pe adresa pr. George Nan din Windsor \u2013 el mi le aduce imediat ce sosesc acolo.<\/p>

Viels-Maisons (Aisne). France.
11 septembrie, 1956<\/p>

Drag\u0103 Stare\u021bule,<\/p>

\u00cen adev\u0103r, eram nelini\u0219tit de pauza mare ce ai f\u0103cut \u00eentre scrisori. Dar nu m\u0103 mir de cuprinsul acesteia, pornit\u0103 din Detroit la 6 septembrie, c.<\/p>

S\u0103 nu regre\u021bi deloc nepl\u0103cerile prin care treci \u0219i vei mai trece. Dimpotriv\u0103, prive\u0219te c\u00e2t mai bine prin fereastra ce \u021bi-ai deschis, venind \u00een America de Nord. Multe din trebuin\u021bele biserice\u0219ti din \u021bara de acas\u0103, le cuno\u0219ti; cunoa\u0219te de acum \u0219i pe ale acestor Rom\u00e2ni de care nimene de acas\u0103 nu s-a preocupat \u00een trecut, \u0219i-s \u00een pragul desna\u021bionaliz\u0103rii chiar cu genera\u021bia ce se ridic\u0103 acum.<\/p>

\u00cenarmeaz\u0103-te cu r\u0103bdare \u0219i a\u0219teapt\u0103 putin\u021ba de a trece \u0219i prin Canada (de\u0219i presupun c\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2rzierea formelor o pricinuiesc chiar g\u0103zduitorii d-tale din Detroit). Acolo de vei g\u0103si \u00een\u021belegere \u0219i bun\u0103voin\u021b\u0103, r\u0103m\u00e2i; de nu, ia din Montreal avion sau vapor \u0219i te \u00eentoarce lini\u0219tit la Ierusalim. De acolo, tot Dumnezeu te va chema la lucrul Bisericii Sale, unde trebuin\u021ba de bra\u021be lucr\u0103toare este din ce \u00een ce mai mare. Vei fi de acum cu \u00eenc\u0103 mai mare bagaj de cuno\u0219tin\u021be.<\/p>

\u00cen scrisoare, \u00een leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu ner\u00e2nduielile ce vezi, \u00eemi adaugi \u0219i numele meu. F\u0103r\u0103 o delega\u021bie oficial\u0103 \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 un num\u0103r de preo\u021bi pe care s\u0103-mi pot r\u0103zima venirea \u0219i ac\u021biunile biserice\u0219ti \u00een USA, mi-ar fi fost o mare gre\u0219eal\u0103. Mai pronun\u021bat, numai doi in\u0219i m-au chemat: Pr. Gl. Moraru \u2013 \u00een condi\u021bii inacceptabile, - \u0219i P\u0103rintele Nan, care mi-a trimis \u0219i bilet de avion. \u00cencolo, clerul slab \u0219i amor\u021bit a r\u0103mas lini\u0219tit sub c\u00e2rmuire de aventurieri. Le-am fost la \u00eendem\u00e2n\u0103, dar nu m-au folosit; acum e t\u00e2rziu. Grija limpezirii acestei tulbure situa\u021bii, revine de drept Sinodului canonic viitor de la Bucure\u0219ti, - de nu va fi \u00eenc\u0103 \u0219i mai t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>

Precum \u0219tii, eu doresc s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2i \u00een Canada. Dac\u0103 \u00eens\u0103 vezi c\u0103 nu se poate, porne\u0219te \u00eenapoi la chilie. (Sper\u00e2nd c\u0103 va urma lini\u0219te). Scrie acelora mereu prietene\u0219te \u0219i prevenitor.<\/p>

Viziteaz\u0103 \u0219i alte localit\u0103\u021bi din USA.<\/p>

Prime\u0219te \u0219i transmite \u0219i P\u0103rintelui Nan, toate doririle de bine.
