2May His Memory Be Eternal!
- "What does the priesthood mean? It means to be an
enduring witness to human suffering and to take
it upon your own shoulders. To be the one who
warms the leper at his own breast, the one who
gives life to the miserable through the breath
from his own mouth. To be a strong comfort to
every unfortunate one, even when you yourself are
overwhelmed with weakness. To be a ray of shining
light to unhappy hearts when your own eyes long
ago ceased to see any light. To carry mountains
of others sufferings on your shoulders, while
your own being screams out with the weight of its
own suffering. Your flesh will rebel and say,
This heroism is absurd, impossible! Where is
such a man, where is the priest you describe so
that I may put my own suffering on his
shoulders? Yes, nevertheless, he does exist!
From time to time there awakens within us the
priest of Christ who, like the Good Samaritan,
will kneel down by the side of the man fallen
among thieves and, putting him upon his own
donkey, will bring him to the Church of Christ
for healing. And he will forget himself and
comfort you, O man of suffering." -
- Father Gheorghe Calciu-Dumitreasa

To my flock I leave this message Love one
another as Jesus loved us so that it will be
revealed that we are the sons of Jesus Christ,
our Savior. Sacrifice yourselves! Pray and be
merciful to those in need! . . . Father
