Constantin Hadarag s-a n\u0103scut \u00een 1971 la Vaslui, \u00eentr-o familie de 15 copii. A terminat Liceul de Filolofie-Istorie la Ia\u021bi, Filozofia la Milano (Italia), iar Teologia si specializarea in Teologie Mistica la Roma, la Pontificia Universitas Gregoriana iar apoi a lucrat circa 10 ani la propria-i firma de construc\u021bii la Roma. Voca\u021bia preo\u021biei i-a revenit doar in 2009, dup\u0103 o criz\u0103 existen\u021bial\u0103 care a durat circa 3 ani de zile. La momentul interviului, diaconul Constantin se afla sub obl\u0103duirea Preasfintitului John Michael Botean slujind la Biserica Sf. Ioan Botez\u0103torul din Detroit, Michigan.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Dac\u0103 po\u021bi s\u0103-mi vorbe\u0219ti pu\u021bin despre biografia ta \u0219i cum ai ajuns aici \u00een Statele Unite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prin 2002 doi colegi de-ai mei au venit \u00een America. Eu nu am \u00eendr\u0103znit, mi-am spus c\u0103 nu sunt demn ca s\u0103 fiu preot, nu aveam experien\u021b\u0103, nu eram preg\u0103tit. Am terminat studiile de licen\u021b\u0103 \u00een 2007, dup\u0103 aceea \u00een momentul \u00een care m-am convertit (perioada 2006-2009) mi-am zis s\u0103-l \u00eentreb pe PS John Michael dac\u0103 cumva are nevoie de un viitor preot \u0219i dac\u0103 m\u0103 prime\u0219te. Dar eram sigur c\u0103 va spune nu. Am scris la episcopie, iar Pr. Ovidiu mi-a r\u0103spuns \u00een mod straniu a doua zi \u2013 Da, avem nevoie! Eu normal trebuia s\u0103 fiu hirotonit prin Paris sau prin Burxelles.<\/p>\n

\u0218i astfel am \u00eenceput procesul acesta \u2013 care a fost lung. Am stat trei ani la m\u0103n\u0103stire \u00een Italia\u2013 am \u0219i lucrat, am avut \u0219i activitate liturgic\u0103 \u0219i am ajuns \u00een 2013 \u00een Statele Unite. Am mai stat vreo 6 luni la m\u0103n\u0103stire pentru a fi verificat bine \u0219i m-am \u00eentors dup\u0103 aceea la Roma \u0219i \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it c\u00e2nd timpul mi s-a \u00eemplinit am ajuns aici.<\/p>\n

Eu nu am vrut s\u0103 vin \u00een America.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Preo\u021bia este o voca\u021bie. Au existat semne \u00een copil\u0103rie a acestei voca\u021bii?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nu au fost semne deosebite. Convertirea mea a fost ca a lui Nicolae Steinhardt, \u00eencet-\u00eencet, povestit\u0103. Mie \u00eemi trebuie timp ca s\u0103 fac lucrurile bine. Eu de pe la 4-5 ani mergeam la biseric\u0103 cu bunica \u2013 a\u0219a s-a n\u0103scut voca\u021bia, progresiv. Am dat pe urm\u0103 de dou\u0103 ori la seminarul de la Neam\u021b; nu m-au admis pentru c\u0103 nu aveam s\u0103 dau ma\u0219in\u0103, nu aveam s\u0103 pl\u0103tesc, eram s\u0103rac. \u0218i uite a\u0219a \u00een 1991, datorit\u0103 Monsegnorului Hossu am fost trimis la studii \u00een Italia. Am stat vreo 4-5 ani la Milano, \u00een 1994 am venit \u00een America 6 luni, m-am \u00eentors \u0219i m-am transferat la Roma pentru teologie. Studiind, eram convins c\u0103 aveam voca\u021bie, dar m-am speriat \u00een 2001, pentru c\u0103 mi-am dat seama c\u0103 preo\u021bia este o responsabilitate enorm\u0103, fiindc\u0103 ai de-a face cu oamenii. Trebuie s\u0103 \u0219tii s\u0103 transmi\u021bi bucurie \u2013 cre\u0219tinismul dac\u0103 nu e bucurie, nu e cre\u0219tinism.<\/p>\n

\u00cen perioada 2006-2009 am avut acele momente de convertire puternic\u0103 \u2013 dar totul s-a \u00eentamplat progresiv. Am avut idei, intui\u021bii, str\u0103luciri, dar ca s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eendr\u0103gostesc de Hristos, de biseric\u0103, de via\u021ba \u00eens\u0103\u0219i mi-a trebuit mult timp.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lucrul acesta este valabil \u0219i pentru cei care nu urmeaz\u0103 calea preo\u021biei \u2013 pentru laici?<\/strong><\/p>\n

O, da. \u00centrebarea frecvent\u0103 care mi se pune este: E\u0219ti preg\u0103tit s\u0103 devi preot? Domnule, nu sunt preg\u0103tit, dar cine poate s\u0103 fie preg\u0103tit ca s\u0103-l urmeze ca discipol \u00een ve\u0219minetele preo\u021be\u0219ti pe Hristos? Nimeni nu e la \u00een\u0103l\u021bime. N-ai cum s\u0103 fii la \u00een\u0103l\u021bime. Dac\u0103 nu renun\u021bi la toate g\u00e2ndurile tale ca \u0219i diacon c\u00e2nd e\u0219ti \u00een fa\u021ba altarului te sim\u021bi un vierme. Nu te mai sim\u021bi un vierme dec\u00e2t \u00een momentul \u00een care zici: Eh, Dumnezeu \u0219tie ceea ce face. M-am lep\u0103dat de fiin\u021ba veche, m-am lep\u0103dat de mine \u0219i sunt \u00een fa\u021ba lui. Ok, sunt un p\u0103c\u0103tos, dar sunt \u00een fa\u021ba lui \u0219i \u00eencerc s\u0103-l slujesc pe El.<\/p>\n

Dup\u0103 p\u0103rerea mea personal\u0103, \u00een afara unor cazuri excep\u021bionale, toate metanoile<\/em>, toate convertirile autentice sunt progresive. Sunt pu\u021bine cazuri \u00een istorie. Vezi exemplul Sf. apostol Pavel. S-a dat cu capul de p\u0103m\u00e2nt, a c\u0103zut de pe cal, iar Hristos a n\u0103v\u0103lit efectiv \u00een via\u021ba lui \u00een mod direct. La mine nu a fost cazul acesta. Eu sunt o fiin\u021b\u0103 limitat\u0103, omeneasc\u0103, \u0219i mi-a trebuit tot timpul ca s m\u0103 hot\u0103r\u0103sc. Apoi mi-am zis \u00een 2009 \u2013 dac\u0103 nu m\u0103 hot\u0103r\u0103sc acum, atunci c\u00e2nd, la 90 de ani?<\/p>\n

E valabil pentru oricine, pentru c\u0103 noi cre\u0219tem cu timpul – \u00een timp, \u00een spa\u021biu, f\u0103c\u00e2nd experien\u021be de via\u021b\u0103, \u00eentre oameni, lucr\u00e2nd. Eu am lucrat mai mult de 10 ani \u00een Vatican, \u00een construc\u021bii, \u0219i am avut peste 15 muncitori angaja\u021bi ai mei, \u0219i lucram cot la cot cu ei. Faptul c\u0103 aveam semnul voca\u021biei \u00een mine se manifesta prin faptul c\u0103 noi \u0219i la pr\u00e2nz \u0219i \u00een pauze discutam doar literatur\u0103, filozofie \u0219i teologie. \u0218i am avut muncitori 30-40 de ani mai b\u0103tr\u00e2ni dec\u00e2t mine. \u0218i era interesant s\u0103 discu\u021bi despre via\u021b\u0103, despre moarte, despre sensul vie\u021bii \u00een general. Totul e progresiv \u2013 \u00eenve\u021bi din orice: citind, muncind, tr\u0103ind, \u00eent\u00e2lnind.<\/p>\n

Pe mine m-a ajutat mult povestioara legat\u0103 de Moise. C\u00e2nd Dumnezeu l-a ales s\u0103-i conduc\u0103 poporul, Moise i-a spus \u201dDoamne, nu pot fiindc\u0103 sunt b\u00e2lb\u00e2it\u201d. \u0218i totu\u0219i Dumnezeu l-a ales. I l-a dat pe Aron ca s\u0103-l ajute, fiindc\u0103 era orator \u0219i avea \u0219i alte calit\u0103\u021bi pe care Moise nu le avea. A\u0219a m\u0103 simt \u0219i eu. Pot s\u0103-i spun lui Dumnezeu c\u0103 sunt b\u00e2lb\u00e2it, dar trebuie s\u0103 ai curaj ca s\u0103 iei decizia s\u0103 fii preot.<\/p>\n

Eu sunt un tip sensibil \u2013 dac\u0103 e\u0219ti trist sau vesel, eu o preiau, o simt pe piele direct. L-am \u00eentrebat o dat\u0103 pe p\u0103rintele meu spiritual. \u201dP\u0103rinte Maxim, eu deja am g\u00e2ndurile mele, necazurile mele, umbrele mele, greut\u0103\u021bile mele, psihologia mea personal\u0103, dac\u0103 m\u0103 fac pop\u0103 \u0219i mai vin \u0103\u0219tia la confesiuni, m\u0103 \u00eenmorm\u00e2nteaz\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u0218i \u0219tii ce mi-a zis? \u201dConstantin, nu e\u0219ti tu, ci harul Domnului celui viu. Nu e vorba de tine. E vorba de harul pe care tu \u00eel accep\u021bi \u0219i c\u0103ruia \u00eei faci loc \u00een propria ta via\u021b\u0103 \u0219i care te ghideaz\u0103, care te duce.\u201d \u0218i la g\u00e2ndul acesta am meditat luni \u0219i ani de zile. E Domnul care te sus\u021bine prin harul s\u0103u. Numai a\u0219a po\u021bi merge \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n

Te speli de toate \u0219i reu\u0219e\u0219ti s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2i tu \u00eensu\u021bi prin rug\u0103ciune.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 rug\u0103ciunea pentru tine \u0219i ce poate \u00eensemna aceasta pentru cre\u0219tinul de r\u00e2nd?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dac\u0103 ar trebui s\u0103 vorbesc ca un teolog ar trebui s\u0103 spun imediat un singur lucru. Rug\u0103ciunea adev\u0103rat\u0103 este atunci c\u00e2nd Spiritul Sf\u00e2nt se roag\u0103 \u00een tine. Dar nu vreau s\u0103 par c\u0103pos. Exist\u0103 o linie ro\u0219ie continu\u0103 pe care dac\u0103 o ai, rezi\u0219ti \u00een fa\u021ba tuturor vicisitudinilor \u0219i a problemelor \u0219i a tuturor aspectelor vie\u021bii \u2013 iar asta este un raport personal cu Dumnezeu. Spiritul Sf\u00e2nt este cel care \u021bi-o inspir\u0103 \u2013 nu \u0219tiu cum, coboar\u0103 peste tine pur \u0219i simplu. Dar exist\u0103 \u0219i cel\u0103lalt aspect c\u00e2nd tu sim\u021bi din punct de vedere omenesc c\u0103 sufletul \u00ee\u021bi este uscat. \u00cen limbaj monahal aceasta se nume\u0219te accedia \u2013 sim\u021bi c\u0103 totul e steril, totul e nonsens. Aici intervine efortul omului. C\u00e2nd vezi c\u0103 via\u021ba nu func\u021bioneaz\u0103, chiar dac\u0103 ai chef, chiar dac\u0103 n-ai chef, constan\u021ba rug\u0103ciunii e cheia.<\/p>\n

Rug\u0103ciunea esen\u021bial\u0103, pentru c\u0103 e un raport personal cu Dumnezeu, e goliciunea ta, nimicnicia ta, p\u0103m\u00e2ntenirea ta,\u00a0 tot ceea ce tu e\u0219ti \u0219i reprezin\u021bi, ce \u0219tii (\u0219i ce nu \u0219tii) despre tine e contactul direct cu Dumnezeu \u2013 o linie de telefon, cum ar spune Jean Paul Sartre. El ironizeaz\u0103 pe chestia asta: po\u021bi s\u0103-i dai un telefon lui Dumnezeu? Da po\u021bi, prin rug\u0103ciune. \u0218i mai sunt \u0219i momente \u00een care tu datorit\u0103 bucuriei \u00eens\u0103\u0219i a vie\u021bii, tu cazi \u00een genunchi \u0219i \u00eei mul\u021bume\u0219ti Domnului. Meister Eckhart spune de fapt c\u0103 rug\u0103ciunile primite de Dumnezeu sunt rug\u0103ciunile de laud\u0103 \u0219i de mul\u021bumire. Lui Dumnezeu nu prea \u00eei plac rug\u0103ciunile cum zice un c\u00e2ntec italian, Doamne, fami fare del business, ajut\u0103-m\u0103 s\u0103 intru \u00een afaceri, s\u0103 c\u00e2\u0219tig la burs\u0103. (r\u00e2z\u00e2nd) Aia nu e rug\u0103ciune. Pentru Meister Eckhart \u00a0astea sunt blesteme la adresa lui Dumnezeu, pentru c\u0103 tu practic ai \u00eencerca s\u0103-l manipulezi pe creatorul universului \u00eentreg \u2013 a ordinii, a vie\u021bii, a existen\u021bei. Dar uneori, \u0219i noi \u00een liturghie avem lucrul acesta, ne rug\u0103m pentru bun\u0103starea ora\u0219elor, satelor, a conduc\u0103torilor no\u0219tri, pentru c\u0103 suntem umani, din cauza aia.<\/p>\n

\u00cen mod normal rug\u0103ciunea ar trebui s\u0103 fie o spontaneitate a inimii, a duhului. \u0218i noi avem marea tradi\u021bie isihast\u0103, \u00een care repe\u021bi la infinit rug\u0103ciunea Doamne Isuse Hristoase, fiul lui Dumnezeu, milostiv fii mie p\u0103c\u0103tosul, robului t\u0103u. \u0218i o repe\u021bi at\u00e2t de mult \u00eenc\u00e2t \u0219i c\u00e2nd tu dormi, inima ta personal\u0103 continu\u0103 s\u0103 se roage. Eu nu am ajuns la nivelul acela, dar de multe ori \u00een timp ce dorm, visez c\u0103 m\u0103 rog, se transpune \u0219i pe plan incon\u0219tient. Este singura certitudine \u0219i \u00een acela\u0219i timp non-certitudine. Nu e ra\u021bional\u0103, dar pentru mine personal e singura chestie valabil\u0103 pe care o am \u00een via\u021b\u0103. \u0218i mai ales c\u0103 Dumnezeu ascult\u0103 mai mult rug\u0103ciunea p\u0103c\u0103tosului dec\u00e2t a sf\u00e2ntului s\u0103u. Pentru c\u0103 pe sf\u00e2nt \u00eel \u0219tie. (r\u00e2de) Dar pe p\u0103c\u0103tos, c\u00e2nd acela se \u00eentoarce, \u0219i \u00ee\u0219i d\u0103 seama c\u0103 a gre\u0219it\u2026aici e toat\u0103 chestiunea. Din p\u0103cate nu putem cum zice Meister Eckhart s\u0103 ne rug\u0103m tot timpul, l\u0103ud\u00e2ndu-l \u0219i mul\u021bumindu-i Domnului. Ne rug\u0103m s\u0103 ne mai \u0219i ierte.<\/p>\n

Dar Dumnezeu, dup\u0103 cum zic tot timpul, \u0219tie ce face cu noi. \u0218i dac\u0103 te rogi e practic cum a\u0219 intra \u00een birou la tine. Rug\u0103ciunea e un face to face, e invocarea prezen\u021bei lui Dumnezeu, iar Dumnezeu este tot timpul prezent. Chestiunea este c\u0103 noi nu \u0219tim lucrul acesta. Dumnezeu le \u0219tie. Acum vedem, cum zice Sf. Apostol Pavel, ca prin cea\u021b\u0103, tocmai de aia prima virtute este iubirea, nu speran\u021ba sau credin\u021ba. Eu trebuie s\u0103 fiu personal convins \u00een bun\u0103tatea crea\u021biei \u0219i \u00een infinita \u00een\u021belepciune a lui Dumnezeu.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cum pot oamenii de r\u00e2nd s\u0103 se conecteze la realitatea aceasta superioar\u0103?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00cen primul r\u00e2nd eu sunt un om de r\u00e2nd. Fiecare are punctele sale sensibile, fiecare face parte din planul lui Dumnezeu, croit \u00eenc\u0103 de la facerea lumii. Eu cred c\u0103 bunul sim\u021b \u0219i umilin\u021ba sunt lucrurile principale. Dac\u0103 tu \u00ee\u021bi dai seama c\u0103 e\u0219ti limitat, e\u0219ti creatur\u0103 nu e\u0219ti creator\u2026 dup\u0103 aceea tu te conectezi prin rug\u0103ciune, dar trebuie s\u0103 ai bun sim\u021b \u0219i umilin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n

Tu \u0219tii care e drama lui Iov? Cazul lui e cel mai grozav. Iov are un singur defect. Se pune pe acela\u0219i plan cu Dumnezeu. Nu se recunoa\u0219te creatur\u0103, fiin\u021b\u0103 creat\u0103. \u0218i el practic vrea s\u0103 contribuie la crea\u021bie ca \u0219i un Dumnezeu. C\u0103 dac\u0103 s-ar fi cunoscut \u0219i \u00eenainte creatur\u0103, limitat, cu pu\u021bini ani de tr\u0103it, etc.. De ce Iov dup\u0103 aceea \u00ee\u0219i pune degetul pe gur\u0103 \u00een semn de t\u0103cere profund\u0103 \u0219i zice: orb am fost, dar acum ochii mei v\u0103d! Dup\u0103 ce s-a certat cu Dumnezeu, dup\u0103 ce se ia de guler cu Dumnezeu, cu creatorul s\u0103u. De aceea, fiindc\u0103 noi vrem s\u0103 facem \u0219i s\u0103 dregem dup\u0103 cum vrem noi. \u00cen schimb care e scopul? Scopul e s\u0103 \u00een\u021belegem care e voin\u021ba lui Dumnezeu \u00een via\u021ba noastr\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 fim ferici\u021bi \u00een func\u021bie de ce auzim, de ce ascult\u0103m. Cum \u00eencepe marea profe\u021bie din Vechiul Testament, Shemai Israel<\/em>, ascult\u0103 Israel. A\u0219a \u00eencepe. C\u00e2nd Dumnezeu se adreseaz\u0103 lui Israel, tot timpul \u00eencepe a\u0219a: ascult\u0103! \u0218i Igna\u021biu de Loyola, una din afirma\u021biile lui principale este s\u0103 caut, s\u0103 ascult \u0219i s\u0103 g\u0103sesc voin\u021ba lui Dumnezeu \u00een via\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u0218i cum poate un om de r\u00e2nd, care tr\u0103ie\u0219te \u00eentr-o societate ultra modern\u0103 s\u0103 reu\u0219easc\u0103 s\u0103 ajung\u0103 la nivelul acela de ascultare, mai ales fiindc\u0103 sunt oameni care nici nu con\u0219tientizeaz\u0103 existen\u021ba divinului?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nu exist\u0103 formule magice. Nu exist\u0103 secrete, cifrarii. P\u0103rerea mea este c\u0103 Dumnezeu \u0219tie ce face cu oricare dintre noi \u0219i c\u00e2nd te cheam\u0103, te cheam\u0103. Exist\u0103 \u0219i contribu\u021bia omului, a mea personal\u0103 \u2013 c\u0103 dac\u0103 nu vreau \u0219i nu vreau, asta e, refuz harul divin. Dar Dumnezeu ne d\u0103 tot timpul \u00eenc\u0103 o \u0219ans\u0103 \u0219i \u00eenc\u0103 o \u0219ans\u0103 \u0219i \u00eenc\u0103 una. Un lucru \u0219tiu sigur: omul umil, omul cu bun sim\u021b, omul simplu, omul care g\u00e2nde\u0219te ca un \u021b\u0103ran oric\u00e2te universit\u0103\u021bi \u0219i diplome ar avea el, acela are toate \u0219ansele s\u0103 se trezeasc\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 de pe acum. De acest lucru sunt convins. Iar trezirea \u00eenseamn\u0103 bucurie. Enorma, infinita valoare a vie\u021bii \u2013 bucuria enorm\u0103 de a tr\u0103i. Iar Hristos cam pe asta accelereaz\u0103 tot timpul \u2013 trebuie s\u0103 fii fericit. Cre\u0219tinul nu poate s\u0103 fie un om cum zicea Steinhardt, moroc\u0103nos, \u00eencruntat, un om cu dracii \u00een el\u2026 Cre\u0219tinul trebuie s\u0103 fie senin. Nu \u0219tiu cum poate fiecare, numai Dumnezeu \u0219tie, fiindc\u0103 Dumnezeu ne cheam\u0103 pe to\u021bi \u0219i ne d\u0103 \u0219ans\u0103 la to\u021bi.<\/p>\n

Cardinalul Rustinger a scris ni\u0219te c\u0103r\u021bi foarte iluminante \u0219i vorbe\u0219te despre pasajul din Sf. Apostol Pavel cu vasele alese \u0219i cele nealese, alea spurcate \u0219i alea curate. Steinhardt \u00eensu\u0219i a avut o problem\u0103 de genul acesta. Dumnezeu ne d\u0103 tot timpul o \u0219ans\u0103 \u2013 pe graiul nostru, pe \u00een\u021belesul nostru. Fiecare are codul lui, \u00eenscris \u00een propria lui existen\u021b\u0103. Dac\u0103 \u00eel ascult\u0103, \u0219i aici e secretul tot, normal trebuie s\u0103 \u00a0\u00ee\u021bi g\u0103se\u0219ti, oric\u00e2t de ocupat ai fi \u00een via\u021b\u0103, oric\u00e2t de multe slujbe ai avea, trebuie s\u0103 stai un pic cu tine \u00eensu\u021bi, s\u0103 te interoghezi, s\u0103 te g\u00e2nde\u0219ti pu\u021bin \u0219i la tine \u2013 \u00een sens filozofic, nu c\u00e2\u021bi bani am m\u00e2ine \u00een cont, sau c\u00e2t c\u00e2\u0219tig de pe treaba asta. Trebuie s\u0103 stai cu tine \u00eensu\u021bi, s\u0103 te reg\u0103se\u0219ti. C\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 sine nu exist\u0103 m\u00e2ntuire, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 te descoperi, s\u0103 \u0219tii exact ceea ce e\u0219ti \u0219i cum e\u0219ti. Acesta este un proces lung care, dup\u0103 p\u0103rerea mea dureaz\u0103 o via\u021b\u0103 \u00eentreag\u0103. Nici at\u00e2t nu ne-ar ajunge, restul e harul Domnului care se revars\u0103 peste noi. \u00cemi pui ni\u0219te \u00eentreb\u0103ri foarte dificile… \u021bi-a\u0219 putea spune despre via\u021ba mea, cum am ajuns eu s\u0103 cred a\u0219a de mult \u0219i s\u0103 iubesc at\u00e2t de mult via\u021ba \u0219i pe Dumnezeu.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Po\u021bi s\u0103-mi dai c\u00e2teva exemple definitorii care au \u00eenclinat balan\u021ba considerabil, ce i-ar putea ajuta \u0219i pe oameni s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Am enorm de multe…. \u00cen primul r\u00e2nd, prin anul 2002-2003, am c\u00e2\u0219tigat \u00een dou\u0103 luni peste 50.000 euro. C\u00e2nd m-am v\u0103zut cu banii \u00een buzunar mi-am zis \u201dConstantine, e\u0219ti mai fericit acum?\u201d \u0219i mi-am dat seama c\u0103 nu s-a schimbat nimic, c\u0103 nu eram mai fericit. Mi-am dat seama c\u0103 m\u0103 luasem cu munca \u0219i vreo luna jum\u0103tate nu am mai intrat \u00een biseric\u0103 \u00een biseric\u0103, nu am mai meditat, nu am mai scris, nu am mai stat cu mine. M-am luat cu munca de 10-12 ore pe zi \u0219i cu muncitorii mei, cu problemele legate de munc\u0103. Nu m-au satisf\u0103cut banii, mi-au adus o\u00a0 nesatisfacere profund\u0103. Erau persoane care \u00eemi spuneau \u201dCe faci, Constantine? Ai venit \u00een via\u021ba asta, stai 70, 80 de ani \u0219i str\u00e2ngi doar bani. Care este scopul vie\u021bii tale?\u201d. A\u0219adar, banii nu m-au mul\u021bumit. Erau mul\u021bi, s\u0103 c\u00e2\u0219tigi \u00een dou\u0103 luni 50 de mii de euro, eu am fost \u0219ocat, nu mai c\u00e2\u0219tigasem niciodat\u0103 at\u00e2t de mult, oric\u00e2t lucrasem. Mi-am dat seama c\u0103 nu-mi aduceau satisfac\u021bie, mi-am dat seama ca nu acesta este scopul meu. \u0218i totu\u0219i mi-au mai luat vreo 6,7 ani s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eentorc la voca\u021bia ini\u021bial\u0103, te na\u0219ti cu ea, nu ai cum s\u0103 o ignori. Pe parcursul vie\u021bii o descoperi \u0219i te identifici cu ea. Ori te na\u0219ti cu misiunea de a fi preot ori nu te na\u0219ti cu ea, practic preo\u021bia este o misiune. De\u0219i, dac\u0103 stau s\u0103 m\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc, misiunea noastr\u0103 a tuturor, indiferent dac\u0103 e\u0219ti laic sau nu, indiferent de religie, este s\u0103 fii fericit. <\/strong>\u0218i nimic din ceea ce este material pe acest p\u0103m\u00e2nt nu-\u021bi poate umple golul din tine. Doar Dumnezeu poate face asta. \u00cen asta cred cu adev\u0103rat! Nimic nu te satisface, dec\u00e2t prezen\u021ba lui Dumnezeu. Din p\u0103cate, condi\u021bia noastr\u0103, a purt\u0103rii p\u0103catului str\u0103mo\u0219esc, nu ne las\u0103 s\u0103 avem con\u0219tiin\u021ba prezen\u021bei lui Dumnezeu \u00een mod continuu \u00een tot ceea ce suntem \u0219i ce facem. Si atunci iat\u0103 efortul omului inutil de a g\u0103si \u00eemplinirea \u00een lume, dar pune-te \u00een genunchi \u0219i roag\u0103-te, ca s\u0103 readuci \u00een memoria ta prezen\u021ba lui Dumnezeu. \u00cen italian\u0103 spre exemplu, verbul a-\u0219i aminti<\/em> se traduce ricordare<\/em> \u0219i provine din latinescul cor cordi<\/em>, ce ar \u00eensemna inima inimii<\/em>, adic\u0103 a-\u021bi readuce \u00een inim\u0103. C\u00e2nd \u00ee\u021bi aminte\u0219ti ceva, tu practic readuci \u00een inima toata istoria, este o prezen\u021b\u0103 invizibil\u0103 a ceea ce-\u021bi aminte\u0219ti. A\u0219adar, centrul existen\u021bei noastre este inima, nu mintea. Spre exemplu, atunci c\u00e2nd \u00eemi amintesc de bunica, \u00eemi vine \u00een minte imaginea ei pe c\u00e2mp, la lucru, \u0219i simt \u00een inim\u0103 toat\u0103 nostalgia aceea de atunci.<\/p>\n

Din perspectiva faptului c\u0103 e\u0219ti \u00een misiune aici \u00een Statele Unite, ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 pentru tine s\u0103 fii misionar?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eu consider c\u0103 e\u0219ti misionar oriunde te afli, \u00een familie, la locul de munc\u0103, cu prietenii. \u021ain minte c\u0103 atunci c\u00e2nd lucram, aveam vreo 15 muncitori \u0219i discutam \u00een timpul pauzelor, dar \u0219i \u00een timpul programului de lucru despre Dumnezeu \u0219i existen\u021ba Lui \u00een via\u021ba noastr\u0103. Asta \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 fii misionar, s\u0103 \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219e\u0219ti din bucuria ta personal\u0103, din experien\u021ba ta a \u00eent\u00e2lnirii cu Dumnezeu. Eu a\u0219 muri dac\u0103 nu a\u0219 crede \u00een Dumnezeu, via\u021ba mea nu ar avea niciun sens f\u0103r\u0103 El. Eu cred \u00eentr-un Dumnezeu al Bucuriei. \u00ce\u021bi dai seama, dac\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba asta eu, plin de limit\u0103ri omene\u0219ti, reu\u0219esc s\u0103 m\u0103 bucur at\u00e2t de mult de via\u021b\u0103, oare cum va fi momentul de dup\u0103, nu am cuvinte s\u0103 descriu a\u0219a o bucurie. Eu deja sunt fericit pentru c\u0103 \u0219tiu c\u0103 Dumnezeu are grij\u0103 de mine, oriunde a\u0219 fi, \u0219i c\u00e2nd m\u0103 trezesc, \u0219i c\u00e2nd merg \u00een gr\u0103din\u0103 sau sunt \u00een Biseric\u0103, ori vizitez pe cineva la spital. Am fost la fel de bucuros s\u0103 m\u0103 re\u00eent\u00e2lnesc cu tine. Dumnezeu este bucurie \u0219i doar datorit\u0103 Lui putem tr\u0103i \u00een pace \u0219i echilibru! Altfel via\u021ba nu ar avea niciun sens, a\u0219a scurt\u0103, e\u0219ti for\u021bat s\u0103 o finalizezi odat\u0103 cu moartea. Mul\u021bi \u00ee\u0219i condamn\u0103 p\u0103rin\u021bii, de ce i-au adus pe lume \u00eentr-o via\u021b\u0103 plin\u0103 de probleme. Ei trebuie s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 faptul c\u0103, dac\u0103 \u00eel ai pe Dumnezeu \u0219i-L la\u0219i s\u0103-\u021bi invadeze via\u021ba, totul devine mai u\u0219or \u0219i plin de sens. De exemplu, \u00een mistica Sf Ioan al Crucii, se ridic\u0103 \u00eentrebarea \u201dCare este ini\u021biativa: omul sau Dumnezeu?\u201d <\/em>Idealul ar fi uniunea dintre om \u0219i Dumnezeu, acesta este conceputul teologiei, uniunea divin\u0103.<\/em> Tu te reune\u0219ti cu Dumnezeu, te \u00eentorci acas\u0103, cum \u00eemi place s\u0103 spun. La \u00eentrebarea cine i-a ini\u021biativa<\/em>? Sf Ioan al Crucii demonstreaz\u0103 c\u0103 Dumnezeu este cel care ne conduce \u00eentotdeauna!<\/p>\n

Atunci c\u00e2nd oamenii au credin\u021b\u0103 \u00een Dumnezeu, ei se recunosc ca fiin\u021be create \u00een slujba lui Dumnezeu \u0219i se ajut\u0103 reciproc. Cine are credin\u021b\u0103 are ceva special, are ceva \u00een plus! Asta este cheia fericirii noastre. Eu \u00eemi iubesc enorm so\u021bia, dar dac\u0103 nu ar exista Dumnezeu \u00een sufletul meu, eu nu a\u0219 putea-o iubi. Pentru c\u0103 doar Dumnezeu une\u0219te iubirea noastr\u0103. Nu ajunge doar s\u0103 stai, s\u0103 te \u00een\u021belegi, ceva lipse\u0219te acolo: credin\u021ba<\/strong>. Este un semn de s\u0103n\u0103tate mintal\u0103, spun psihologii. Nu are importan\u021b\u0103 ce religie ai, dar dac\u0103 e\u0219ti plin de credin\u021b\u0103 \u00een Divinitate, asta \u00ee\u021bi d\u0103 ceva \u00een plus. S\u0103 presupunem c\u0103 vei c\u00e2\u0219tiga la loto, milioane de dolari. Ce faci cu banii? Dac\u0103 nu ai credin\u021b\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba etern\u0103 \u0219i \u00een m\u00e2ntuirea sufletului? Dac\u0103 nu crezi c\u0103 vii din Dumnezeu \u0219i te \u00eentorci \u00een Dumnezeu, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-\u021bi pierzi propria individualitate, identitatea. Credin\u021ba este totul! Misionar \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 transmi\u021bi, s\u0103 dai mai departe propria bucurie \u0219i dragoste!<\/p>\n

Cum pot oamenii, care cred, s\u0103 transmit\u0103 credin\u021ba mai departe?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Nu ne trebuie o diplom\u0103 pentru a transmite credin\u021ba. O po\u021bi face prin bun\u0103 cuviin\u021b\u0103, bun sim\u021b, umilin\u021b\u0103, spun\u00e2ndu-le oamenilor c\u0103 eu fac asta pentru ei, \u00een mod gratuit pentru c\u0103 sunt \u00eendr\u0103gostit de via\u021b\u0103 \u0219i de Dumnezeu. At\u00e2t! Prin propriul exemplu, dac\u0103 tu tr\u0103ie\u0219ti prin Dumnezeu cu bucurie \u0219i dragoste, la un moment dat, oamenii se vor \u00eentreba cum po\u021bi tu tr\u0103i a\u0219a…primitor, generos. Eu a\u0219a fac, \u00eei consider pe to\u021bi parte din propria familie. Asta le spun \u0219i enoria\u0219ilor mei, Bine a\u021bi venit acas\u0103, dragilor<\/em>! Pentru c\u0103 to\u021bi suntem copiii aceluia\u0219i Tat\u0103!<\/p>\n

Po\u021bi face asta prin lucruri simple, nu-\u021bi trebuie multe specializ\u0103ri \u0219i joburi. Oamenii trebuie doar iubi\u021bi \u0219i primi\u021bi \u00een s\u00e2nul familiei. Dup\u0103 mine, acesta cred c\u0103 este secretul! Oamenii pot fi atra\u0219i prin simplitate \u0219i umilin\u021b\u0103, dar toate aceste vin din dragostea \u0219i bucuria tr\u0103irii \u00eempreuna cu Dumnezeu! \u00cemi amintesc de un articol de-a lui Steinhardt, \u00een care spune cum va fi la Judecata de Apoi, \u0219i am \u00een\u021beles de acolo c\u0103 Dumnezeu nu este unul sofisticat, el ne vorbe\u0219te mereu despre foamete, despre \u00eenchisori, despre cei afla\u021bi \u00een suferin\u021b\u0103, despre bolnavi, despre \u00eenfometa\u021bi, \u00eenseta\u021bi, b\u0103tr\u00e2ni. Criteriile judec\u0103\u021bii se vor fi dintre cele mai simple, Iisus nu este un idealist! Nu to\u021bi sunt teologi, doctoranzi \u0219i ilumina\u021bi, dar lucrurile simple sunt pentru toat\u0103 lumea, lucrurile simple reprezint\u0103 criteriul autenticit\u0103\u021bii. Doar a\u0219a po\u021bi tr\u0103i \u00een lumin\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 r\u0103t\u0103ce\u0219ti. Nu-\u021bi trebuie nicio preg\u0103tire special\u0103 ca s\u0103 \u0219tii dac\u0103 faci binele sau nu. \u00cen moral\u0103 exist\u0103 un concept care se nume\u0219te legea natural\u0103<\/em>, tu \u00ee\u021bi dai seama singur dac\u0103 faci bine sau r\u0103u, a\u0219a am fost crea\u021bi.\u00a0 Indiferent de voca\u021bia pe care o ai, miezul este acesta: am fost bolnav, m-ai c\u0103utat, am fost \u00een \u00eenchisoare, m-ai vizitat, am fost gol, m-ai \u00eembr\u0103cat, mi-a fost foame, mi-ai dat s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nc?! Toate acestea pleac\u0103 de la propria familie, noi trebuie s\u0103 fim un exemplu pentru ceilal\u021bi. Armonia pleac\u0103 de la nucleu, nucleul suntem noi. Ce a\u0219tept\u0103ri s\u0103 avem de la ceilal\u021bi, dac\u0103 noi nu tr\u0103im \u00een bucurie \u0219i armonie. Le-a\u0219 recomanda oamenilor o carte \u00een acest sens \u201dPrin al\u021bii spre sine<\/em>\u201d N. Steinhardt. Trebuie s\u0103 fii tu bine ca s\u0103 transmi\u021bi bine! Nu e\u0219ti cre\u0219tin dac\u0103 e\u0219ti nefericit! Acesta este criteriul – fericirea!<\/p>\n

Diaconatul este frumos, deoarece \u00een acest\u0103 perioad\u0103 te formezi ca \u0219i preot. Un diacon este un servitor pretutindeni, sluje\u0219te preotului la altar, sluje\u0219te at\u00e2t \u00een biseric\u0103, c\u00e2t \u0219i \u00een afara bisericii, sluje\u0219te \u00een medii sociale \u0219i \u00een orice context \u00een care face parte din Sf\u00e2nta Biseric\u0103, pentru c\u0103 \u00een acest timp te dezvol\u021bi ca viitor preot, care este o responsabilitate enorm\u0103, dar care ofer\u0103 \u0219i satisfac\u021bii la fel de mari.<\/p>\n
