Summary/Abstract: The fifth patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church is the author of an important and substantial corpus of writings, spanning a period of five decades. It is a telling fact that the teachings bequeathed by our Saviour Jesus Christ to the Holy Apostles – and through them to their successors – were not ignored, but through the efforts of the Father Patriarch, they became a beacon on the difficult path of moral perfection followed by all those he shepherded over an extended period of time, when his every step took him not to one place but to all horizons and provinces of the Romanian territory.
