To end with, His Grace evoked the personality of the 4th Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church: “His legacy for the Romanian Orthodox Church as writer, as well as saviour of the monasteries of the Metropolitanate of Moldova and Bucovina, and of many other monuments of the Archdiocese of Bucharest is an outstanding one. He was a great hierarch, who loved and encouraged theological culture and formation of the young generations of priests. He treated with love, good understanding and much pedagogical sense all the issues he was faced with. This is why his memory is a bright one and so we prayed God on this day to give him expiation and forgiveness for everything he must have mistaken in this life as human, for what he must have wished to accomplish, but the hostile time hindered him to accomplish\u201d, His Grace said.<\/p>\n
