Summary/Abstract: Often remembering worthy people from long-ago, we feel the need for an update, especially since even today we rediscover the need to update values that seem to be forgotten. Bishop Filaret Musta represents a unique personality in the religious, social and cultural life of the Mountainous Banat, being the only vicar bishop of this historical diocese, tirelessly serving the church administration for six decades, without interruption. Although he did not have a written work, he distinguished himself by a chosen culture, placed entirely in the service of the ancestral Church. As sublime was his service and long life, so modest was the nature of the venerable bishop. This year, when we commemorate a century since his consecration to the rank of hierarch, we dedicate these pages of gratitude to the distinguished hierarch of other times.
