Slava Crucii şi biruinţa Învierii
Glory of the Cross and victory of the Resurrection

Pastoral Letter at the Resurrection of the Lord – 2021

Summary/Abstract: Having before us the glory of the Cross and the victory of the Resurrection, we have nothing to fear, for the first message of the Lord after the Resurrection was: “Rejoice! Don’t be afraid! ” If last year we sometimes showed signs of weakness and withdrew like the disciples of the Lord in the pavilion, praying with fear and doubt, behold, Christ is risen, our Lord has fulfilled His promise to be Alive, He has come to us, He rebuked us for our doubt, but strengthened us and clothed us with divine grace. Let us not be afraid, first of all, of ourselves, who have promised faithfulness to Christ and to His Church till the end. All human sources and ideologies have a beginning and an end. All past ideologies have been condemned in recent history, but also the present ones will be condemned in future history, because the world cannot lose its reason to live in the normality of divine creation, in freedom as a heavenly gift. Fear, horror, cowardice, betrayal, escape are feelings foreign to true Christians.
