\u00cen data de 13 octombrie 1993, s-a desf\u0103cut sicriul Arhiepiscopului Ioan Maximovici (+ 2 iulie 1966), care se afla atunci \u00een subsolul catedralei \u00eenchinate Icoanei Maicii Domnului \u2013 Bucuria tuturor celor nec\u0103ji\u021bi<\/em> din San Francisco \u0219i, spre uimirea tuturor, s-a dovedit c\u0103 sfintele sale moa\u0219te nu putreziser\u0103 deloc, ci r\u0103m\u0103seser\u0103 cu totul \u00eentregi, ca \u0219i cum murise abia cu c\u00e2teva ore \u00eenainte<\/p>\n

Descoperirea moa\u0219telor a \u00eencununat via\u021ba plin\u0103 de sfin\u021benie a Arhiepiscopului Ioan, care a \u0219i fost canonizat drept Sf\u00e2ntul Ioan de Shanghai \u0219i San Francisco, \u00een anul urm\u0103tor, 1994. <\/p>\n

Cu ocazia anivers\u0103rii de 30 de ani de la descoperirea moa\u0219telor Sf\u00e2ntului Ioan, public\u0103m dou\u0103 materiale. Primul este o m\u0103rturie din timpul vie\u021bii, iar al doilea este o minune recent\u0103.<\/p>\n

Anecdote uimitoare din c\u0103l\u0103toriile Sf\u00e2ntului Ioan<\/h2>\n

Dup\u0103 ce m-a sunat Vl\u0103dica ca s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentrebe dac\u0103 l-a\u0219 putea aduce de la gara din Anvers (la dou\u0103 ore distan\u021b\u0103 de Bruxelles), am plecat imediat \u0219i am a\u0219teptat ore \u00eentregi, dar Vl\u0103dica nu a ap\u0103rut. M-am hot\u0103r\u00e2t s\u0103 merg acas\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 mai a\u0219tept un apel. La ora 2-3 diminea\u021ba, a sunat telefonul: \u201eDac\u0103 a\u0219 putea veni \u0219i s\u0103-l aduc la Bruxelles\u201d. Ca s\u0103 intri \u00een gara aceasta, trebuie s\u0103 \u201eurci\u201d cel pu\u021bin 30-40 de trepte. Dar c\u00e2nd am intrat, ce am v\u0103zut? Vl\u0103dica \u0219edea pe trepte \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i preg\u0103tea o predic\u0103 pe ma\u0219ina lui de scris, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ia \u00een seam\u0103 mul\u021bimea de oameni care se uita la el.

Nu \u0219tiam ce s\u0103 fac, m-am ru\u0219inat pu\u021bin. \u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it, m-am dus \u0219i i-am cerut sf\u00e2nta binecuv\u00e2ntare \u0219i am plecat.<\/p>\n\n\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

Mi-a mai spus odat\u0103, dup\u0103 Sf\u00e2nta Liturghie, c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103-l duc la Zaventem (aeroportul din Bruxelles). Dar Vl\u0103dica binecuv\u00e2nta pe mul\u021bi, foarte mul\u021bi oameni \u0219i \u00eei m\u00e2ng\u00e2ia. Eu \u00eei spuneam Vl\u0103dic\u0103i: \u201eTrebuie s\u0103 mergem, Vl\u0103dica, v\u0103 rog, o s\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2rziem, v\u0103 rog veni\u021bi\u201d, dar Vl\u0103dica nu reac\u021biona deloc. P\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103, l-am luat \u201ecu for\u021ba\u201d la ma\u0219in\u0103 \u0219i ne-am gr\u0103bit spre aeroport, ca s\u0103 afl\u0103m apoi c\u0103 zborul era \u00eent\u00e2rziat cu mai bine de dou\u0103 ore. Am a\u0219teptat \u0219i Vl\u0103dica nu s-a pl\u00e2ns, nici nu a comentat nimic legat de maniera nepotrivit\u0103 cu care l-am luat \u201ecu for\u021ba\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sf\u00e2ntul Ioan scap\u0103 un bebelu\u0219 \u0219i mama lui de la avort<\/h2>\n

A trecut peste un an de c\u00e2nd am tr\u0103it aceast\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2mplare frumoas\u0103 \u0219i abia acum am \u00eenceput a o reda \u00een scris; o \u00eent\u00e2mplare minunat\u0103 care \u00eenc\u0103 m\u0103 uime\u0219te \u00een fiecare zi. Am tr\u0103it-o \u00eempreun\u0103 cu Oana, o mam\u0103 minunat\u0103 pe care am \u00eent\u00e2lnit-o la spitalul din Bordeaux (CHU) \u00een timp ce am fost \u0219i eu internat acolo. La vremea aceea, era gravid\u0103 de 19 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni \u0219i pierduse lichidul amniotic. Situa\u021bia era foarte riscant\u0103 ca ea s\u0103 dezvolte o septicemie \u0219i \u00eenc\u0103 mai mult ca bebelu\u0219ul s\u0103 se dezvolte \u00een aceste condi\u021bii. \u00cen ciuda tuturor riscurilor, aceast\u0103 mam\u0103 s-a hot\u0103r\u00e2t s\u0103 lupte pentru via\u021ba bebelu\u0219ului, c\u0103ruia doctorii nu \u00eei d\u0103deau aproape nici o \u0219ans\u0103 de supravie\u021buire. Considerau de asemenea, c\u0103 \u0219i dac\u0103 bebelu\u0219ul tr\u0103ia, sigur ar avea un handicap grav, datorat faptului c\u0103 nu se putea dezvolta f\u0103r\u0103 lichidul amniotic \u0219i a expunerii nemijlocite la bacterii. <\/p>\n\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

Doctorii o sf\u0103tuiau pe mama s\u0103 fac\u0103 avort; continuau s\u0103 sublinieze datele statistice c\u0103 \u0219ansele ca acest bebelu\u0219 s\u0103 se nasc\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 fie s\u0103n\u0103tos erau aproape inexistente. \u00cen ciuda insisten\u021belor lor \u0219i a riscurilor la care se expunea, s-a hot\u0103r\u00e2t s\u0103 protejeze aceast\u0103 mic\u0103 f\u0103ptur\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 cear\u0103 de la Dumnezeu ajutor \u0219i t\u0103ria de a se preda voin\u021bei lui Dumnezeu. Inten\u021biona s\u0103-i dea bebelu\u0219ului numele Ioan. \u00centre timp, c\u00e2t am stat \u00een spital, am citit cartea Via\u021ba \u0219i minunile Sf\u00e2ntului Ioan Maximovici<\/em>, un sf\u00e2nt at\u00e2t de apropiat de fiecare dintre noi, cu nespus\u0103 dragoste pentru oamenii suferinzi, un sf\u00e2nt care ne era drag at\u00e2t mie, c\u00e2t \u0219i Oanei (mama) \u0219i Alexandrei (viitoarea na\u0219\u0103). Cuvintele lui \u2013 \u201eDe\u0219i am murit, \u00eenc\u0103 sunt viu\u201d \u2013 ne d\u0103deau foarte mult\u0103 n\u0103dejde. \u00centr-o zi, am dat un telefon bisericii ortodoxe din San Francisco, biserica \u00een care se p\u0103streaz\u0103 moa\u0219tele Sf. Ioan. Era diminea\u021b\u0103 \u00een San Francisco. Am explicat starea grav\u0103 a Oanei \u0219i a bebelu\u0219ului \u0219i l-am rugat s\u0103 fac\u0103 o rug\u0103ciune special\u0103 c\u0103tre Sf\u00e2ntul Ioan Maximovici pentru via\u021ba acestui bebelu\u0219 \u0219i a mamei. M-a asigurat c\u0103 vor face. Mai t\u00e2rziu, am primit mir de la candela acestui sf\u00e2nt. <\/p>\n

Am crezut cu t\u0103rie \u00een ajutorul lui Dumnezeu \u0219i a Sf\u00e2ntului Ioan. C\u00e2nd Oana era trist\u0103, \u00eei spuneam: \u201eVei vedea c\u0103 poate \u0219i s\u0103 supravie\u021buiasc\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 fie s\u0103n\u0103tos\u201d. \u00cen fiecare s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103, Episcopul de acolo, p\u0103rintele Nicolae \u0219i diaconul Adrian (\u00eentre timp, p\u0103rintele Adrian) veneau s\u0103 o \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219easc\u0103 cu Sfintele Taine \u0219i s-o \u00eencurajeze cu sfaturi duhovnice\u0219ti. <\/p>\n

La \u00eenceput, doctorii o presau s\u0103 fac\u0103 avort, subliniind toate problemele cu care se confrunta \u0219i toate riscurile \u00eengrozitoare, dar Oana nu se l\u0103sa, de\u0219i era extrem de greu pentru ea. Unul dintre doctori nu putea \u00een\u021belege de ce voia a\u0219a tare s\u0103 p\u0103streze sarcina. Altul, care avea credin\u021b\u0103 \u00een Dumnezeu, i-a spus c\u0103 situa\u021bia era a\u0219a de critic\u0103 \u00eenc\u00e2t trebuia s\u0103 se \u00eent\u00e2mple o minune ca bebelu\u0219ul s\u0103 se nasc\u0103 viu, dar\u0103mite s\u0103-l \u021bin\u0103 apoi \u00een via\u021b\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103n\u0103tos . \u00cen aceast\u0103 lume unde valorile adev\u0103rate sunt denaturate, curajul \u0219i credin\u021b\u0103 ei p\u0103reau a oglindi des\u0103v\u00e2r\u0219irea. \u00cen aceast\u0103 situa\u021bie at\u00e2t de complicat\u0103, putea s\u0103 cear\u0103 ajutor numai de la Dumnezeu, Preasf\u00e2nta Maria \u0219i mijlocirile Sf\u00e2ntului Ioan Maximovici. <\/p>\n\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

\u00centr-o bun\u0103 zi, privea afar\u0103 pe geam \u0219i a avut un g\u00e2nd c\u0103 ar dori s\u0103 primeasc\u0103 un mic semn de la Dumnezeu care s\u0103-i arate c\u0103 hot\u0103r\u00e2rea ei este bun\u0103, deoarece doctorii mai to\u021bi o sf\u0103tuiau s\u0103 nu p\u0103streze sarcina. \u00cen timp ce contempla copacii din fa\u021ba spitalului, se ruga lui Dumnezeu s\u0103-i dea un semn, ceva \u00een leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu acei copaci. Nu a trecut mult timp \u0219i i-a venit so\u021bul care, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i cunoasc\u0103 g\u00e2ndurile, s-a uitat afar\u0103 pe geam \u0219i i-a zis c\u0103 cineva a venit s\u0103 taie c\u00e2teva crengi din acei copaci care se rupseser\u0103 din cauza v\u00e2ntului puternic din acea zi. Ea s-a uimit de acest semn minunat de la Dumnezeu. <\/p>\n

La un moment dat, \u0219i doctorii au confirmat c\u0103 nu a mai r\u0103mas niciun pic de lichid amniotic \u0219i, din punct de vedere \u0219tiin\u021bific, nu era nicio cale s\u0103 se \u00eenmul\u021beasc\u0103 singur \u00eenl\u0103untrul p\u00e2ntecelui. \u00cens\u0103 noi trei n\u0103d\u0103jduiam \u00eentr-o o minune, ca s\u0103 se \u00eenmul\u021beasc\u0103 acest lichid at\u00e2t de necesar pentru dezvoltarea bebelu\u0219ului, fiindc\u0103 nimic nu este cu neputin\u021b\u0103 la Dumnezeu. Situa\u021bia nu s-a schimbat peste noapte, dar dup\u0103 un timp doctorii au v\u0103zut la ecografie c\u0103 se \u00eenmul\u021bise cantitatea de lichid amniotic, \u00eenc\u00e2t dep\u0103\u0219ise minimul necesar pentru ca bebelu\u0219ul s\u0103 supravie\u021buiasc\u0103 \u00een p\u00e2ntecele mamei. <\/p>\n

Dup\u0103 aproape 9 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni \u00een care a stat fie la spital, fie acas\u0103, o perioad\u0103 \u00een care putea numai s\u0103 stea \u00eentins\u0103 pe pat, Oana a n\u0103scut un bebelu\u0219 pe 15 noiembrie 2015, \u00een a 6-a lun\u0103 de sarcin\u0103 (28 de s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni). Avea 1.200 de grame. Era un bebelu\u0219 minunat, complet s\u0103n\u0103tos. Mama a spus: \u201eEl este dovada c\u0103 se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 minuni\u201d.
