Glory to God! Frumos că au scos și ediția mica, o să-mi iau una să o Șăn la prăgății. Interesant că s-a călugărit în 1974 cu fiul ei Dometie și cu fiica Eudoxia - o familie întretă la Râmeț. O să caut acatistul ăştă întât de părintele Iosif Cișmaș.

Slavă lui Dumnezeu. Am reținut că s-a călugărit abia în 1974, la 30 April, împreună cu fiul ei Dometie și cu fiica Eudoxia – o familie întreagă la mănăstire, rar vezi așa ceva. O să caut și eu acatistul alcătuit de părintele Iosif Cișmaș, ediția mică mi se pare potrivită să o țin în geantă.

Just like that, that family that became a monk together is a rare and touching thing. I took the small edition because it fits in my bag when I go to the cemetery or church. Have you read anything by Father Iosif Cismash before?

Thank God, it is truly a rare case when a whole family - mother, son and daughter - went to monasticism together. I also took a small format edition for myself, it is convenient to carry in my pocket for work. Have you already had time to read life or are you just planning to?
