I am looking the disintegrating spring , in front of our home in Déva the flowering lilac bush ! The narcissus , the jasmin and the tulips have partially shed their petals , not long ado there was an inch of snow covering it , but behold the petals of the laburnum, the magnolia have already fallen down! The unceasing barrage of spring are besieging my heart, there is no stopping in nature , birth, bursting into bloom , and already the fruit is ripening , the blessed seed !" God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; “ Book of Genesis said our Heavenly Father at the dawn of Creation , before the Fall! And see , everything that lives keeps this commandment of God - no matter how adverse the circumstances are ! There is only one exception , man who wants to have fun , and because of all sorts of reasons postpones establishing a home , the holy duty of establishing a family , the acceptance of children !
Let us pray that we do not cause the loss of our human race by our timid coming to a holt or because of chasing after the pleasure of partnerless existence !! No matter how saintly we may live , we can sit daily in our churches , but if we sin against the commandment of God regarding race preservation, self-preservation, if we don’t dare ,can’t or want to live committed , pledged by life either in a family or even in a monastic community , then as a lawbreaker God will push us away from Himself !
A priest is called Father , the nuns are called Mother in the monastic orders and this is rightly so because all those who really serve life , they are all father and mother , they fulfil God’s very first commandment , they accepted life, they already have children !
Do not let life pass by you,

I am in the habit of saying , that when founding a children’s home the only thing that I "reached “ easily was the door-handle and next to it a lock that I broke off.
I am certain that when the Holy Spirit sees it fit, necessary He will intervene with an extraordinary miracle in the course of events in our world also , but lets open our eyes to notice the everyday miracles as well and give praise for them .

The greatest healer is the one who can show people eternal goals , who can raise their glance to heaven ,who can give them meaning for their being, existence either in prosperity, good health , or when facing , living in the midst of difficulties .
Everybody has an ability for healing ! If you caress somebody with a sincere, pure, unselfish love, if you listen to them , if you approach them with good will , if you pray for them , you are already healing them .

For bodily ailments there are medications, but loneliness, despair , hopelessness can only be healed with love . There are many in the world ,who hunger for just a small piece of bread , but there are even more , who only long for a bit of love, kindness.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta.
There is an answer to all the questions of our times ! That is why I ask for tormenting “hunger” , strength so that in our powerless , world drifting only by the force of inertia we stand up and facing our questions we get going and find God!

I believe that God also wants to be born for today’s man! I know we have not reached the ceiling of our dreams yet, the boundaries of our earthly live’s unfolding . The great match of human life has not been called off yet ! We can move on! God is awaiting us as well, this young century’s sons standing in an awe. His arms are laden with gifts .

...for the big family of my people I ask not for knowledge and not even faith , more or less this is there in all of us , but “thirst” , the “unquenchable thirst “ , that tears us out from our languishing and gets us going towards the truth. I humbly ask for the tormenting desire, that thrusts us out from our comfort zone , from our cynical intellectual ivory-tower . As a gift I ask for the strength of discontent moving us forth, that helps to break away from the intellectual haughtiness , so that I can enfold in my arms the flesh and blood life.

Unfortunately it is very easy to love somebody in the short-term , to enchant them with gifts, nice words. I am trying to love my children in such a way that even in the years to come they will feel that I was there for them, for helping them. God loves us with an eternal love and we should also try to arrange our lives for loving and bearing fruit in the long-run.

Knowledge is not sufficient . We can know all about God, love but unless we get going , if we don’t embark on the way of love , wanting more, our heart guided by desire , we will get lost . What does it mean to be on the way today ? Neither I, nor anybody else can see the entire way, but the outline of the next step will always begin to dawn on us .
