To be a Christian means to be a confessor, Metropolitan Nicolae told the Romanians in New Yorktranslated

"To be a Christian means to be a confessor," His Holiness Father Nicholas, the Metropolitan of the Two Americas, emphasized on Sunday at the "Saint Nicholas and Saint George" Parish in New York.

His Eminence explained the Gospel of the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost, about the healing of the demon-possessed from the land of Gerghese and highlighted the love and mercy of the Savior towards the suffering man.

"God did not leave this man in such dire straits. God Himself came to save him."

"This attitude is completely incomprehensible: to see a man raised from such helplessness, to understand that he is the miracle of God, and yet to turn your back on Him and banish Him," the Metropolitan of the two Americas emphasized.

"Deeds can speak more than hundreds of words" Starting from the exhortation of the Savior addressed to the healed, to announce the benefits received from God, the Most Reverend Father Nicolae highlighted the responsibility of every Christian to confess his faith in his daily life.

"And our actions can speak louder than hundreds of words, that we met God in the church."
