On Monday, Assistant Bishop Timotei of Prahova conducted a Te Deum service at the Patriarchal Cathedral to celebrate the 73rd birthday of the Patriarch of Romania.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the service, the Assistant Bishop to the Archdiocese of Bucharest delivered a congratulatory message, highlighting Patriarch Daniel\u2019s connections with some of the saints recently canonized by the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church.<\/p>\n

Saints known by Patriarch Daniel<\/h1>\n

Bishop Timotei recalled that shortly after beginning his theological studies, the young Dan-Ilie visited Sih\u0103stria Monastery in Neam\u021b, where he met Saints Cleopas Ilie and Paisius Olaru. He later embraced monastic life, with Saint Cleopas serving as his monastic godfather.<\/p>\n

After graduating from the Institute of Theology in Sibiu, Patriarch Daniel encountered another saint, Confessor Priest Dumitru St\u0103niloae, who guided him through his doctoral studies.<\/p>\n

Additionally, after studying abroad, His Beatitude resided at St Anthimos Monastery in Bucharest, where he met elder Sofian Boghiu, another contemporary saint.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt St Anthimos Monastery, where he lived for two years until he was elected assistant bishop in Timi\u0219oara, Archimandrite Daniel Ciobotea frequently encountered Father Sofian, a great spiritual guide sought by thousands of Bucharest residents,\u201d Bishop Timotei said.<\/p>\n

In addition to these saints, Bishop Timotei of Prahova mentioned, \u201cthere was also the figure of Dometie Manolache, a doctoral colleague of His Beatitude, despite being about 25 years older, and the blessing that students at Sibiu consistently received from the patient and brother-loving Archimandrite Serafim Popescu of S\u00e2mb\u0103ta Monastery.\u201d<\/p>\n

In conclusion, His Grace emphasized that the Patriarch holds all Romanian saints in high esteem and diligently edits their akathists, considering this effort \u201chours of prayer, which those with many concerns for the Church often struggle to find.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey contributed to the formation of many young people after the changes in 1989\u201d<\/h1>\n

The Patriarch of Romania thanked Bishop Timotei for his words.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis Grace Assistant Bishop Timotei of Prahova highlighted the contribution of spiritual fathers to the formation of many young people after the changes in 1989, especially those who confessed their faith during communism and the spiritual guides of the Romanian people, who, of course, have recently been added to the list of those to be included in our Church\u2019s calendar and honoured as saints.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGenerally, on the occasion of one\u2019s birthday, we think of the parents who gave birth to and raised us, but also of the teachers, professors, and spiritual guides who formed us both intellectually and spiritually,\u201d His Beatitude said, sharing some memories from his youth.<\/p>\n

Meeting Saint Cleopas at Sih\u0103stria<\/h1>\n

\u201cDuring that period,\u201d the Patriarch continued, \u201cthe meeting with Father Cleopas Ilie, recommended by the late Professor Mircea P\u0103curaru, was a joy and an encouragement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patriarch Daniel appreciated Father Cleopas\u2019 unique speaking style and modesty, noting that during their meeting, Elder Cleopas greeted him by saying, \u201cWhy have you come to learn from a simple and uneducated monk?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut being self-taught, he had read almost all the books in Neam\u021b Monastery’s library (…) We were impressed by his extensive knowledge and quotations from the Holy Fathers. Although he had no university or high school education, Father Cleopas had an extraordinary memory, to the extent that Father St\u0103niloae said he knew as much patristic theology as a university professor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut these quotations from the Holy Fathers, which he remembered, were very well chosen,\u201d added the Patriarch.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring that memorable meeting, he said: \u2018He who speaks of God but does not pray to God is like one who has painted water on the wall and dies of thirst beside it.\u2019 Thus, he had these vivid expressions from Saint John of Damascus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meeting Saint Paisius of Sih\u0103stria<\/h1>\n

Father Paisie Olaru was also very unique, His Beatitude continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was very quiet. He rarely preached, but he had a significant work of heart or mind prayer, about which, when asked, he said, \u2018I haven\u2019t heard, I don\u2019t know what it is\u2019\u2014such was his humility, hiding his private prayer life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd after confession, you didn\u2019t want to leave,\u201d Patriarch Daniel confessed. \u201cHe conveyed such inner peace and warmth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Patriarch added that he had a special way of praying, using many diminutives, quoting Saint Paisius of Sih\u0103stria: \u201cAnd bless, Lord, his little house, his life. Bless, Lord, his work. And give him a little corner of heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese prayers seemed very simple or simplistic, but they were very sincere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will pray and remember them as our teachers\u201d<\/h1>\n

His Beatitude noted that both saints were from the 19th-20th century Boto\u0219ani region: \u201cfrom that area of very faithful people, with many children, of whom many married and others went to monasteries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remember with gratitude these praying, fasting, and confessing fathers. After the solemn proclamation of the canonization next year, meaning the public manifestation of this canonization, we will pray and remember them as our teachers because we learned not only from what they wrote and preached but also from their way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several state representatives, including the President of the Senate and the Prime Minister of Romania, attended the Te Deum. The celebrations continued with an anniversary event at the Patriarchal Palace.<\/p>\n
