About 500 Romanian believers from Germany and France participated on Sunday in the anticipated celebration of the patron saint of the "Saint Great Martyr Mina" Parish in Freiburg, Germany.

The Holy Liturgy was celebrated by the Most Reverend Father Sofian Brașov, the Vicar Bishop of the Archdiocese of Germany, Austria and Luxembourg, together with a council of priests, of which the parish priest Mircea Mărgărit Tudorache was also a part.

The church was full of believers, some of them coming from tens of kilometers to participate in the celebration of the Romanian community.

"Our Father is always with us" His Eminence started from the Gospel fragment about the resurrection of Jairus' daughter, explaining that death does not represent the end of human existence, but the transition to eternal life.

The hierarch spoke about God's permanent care for people, regardless of the trials they go through.

"God, our Father, is always by our side, supporting us, helping us, treating us like his beloved children," Vicar Bishop Sofian Brașoveanul said in a message published on social networks.
