"Enlighten and warm those around you by the example of your life and by your word", Bishop Macarie of Northern Europe urged the young people of the "Nemțişor" Camp, organized by the Archdiocese of Iaşi in Neamț county, on Thursday.

The hierarch officiated the Holy Liturgy and encouraged the participants to remain steadfast in the church life: "Tell everyone how good the Lord is for us and how much peace and joy we gain here in the Church Liturgy!".

"That's why we now say at the end: Let's go out in peace! , so that the peace, joy, tranquility, fulfillment that we acquire here can be spread everywhere in the world", said His Eminence.

The Bishop of Northern Europe emphasized the importance of the confession of faith through his personal example: "You are young missionaries, you are the dough that will leaven the youthful turmoil in the midst of which you are - at school, at the university, in society, everywhere - you will be, and I ask you to be, with all the zeal and love for the Lord, lights".

Thank you, lord. Well said about “alatul care va dospi frământătura”. In our Moscow parish, several young guys, after the camps, began to bring their friends to church, not with words, but simply by the way they live. It's clear that it works. And Father Aurel, congratulations on the award, I have known him for a long time as a man of action.

Thank you, Roman. Our guys also change after such camps, especially when they not only listen, but themselves begin to live differently. And Father Aurel really deserves it, he is always in deeds, not in words. In Moscow, do these young people often go to which church?

Bishop spoke well about how young people should be "aluat" among their own. After the camps in Poltava, a couple of guys also started bringing their friends to the service, simply because they themselves became calmer and more attentive. Father Aurel, congratulations on the award, he deserved it. And in Moscow, which church do the young people Roman writes about go to?

The bishop spoke well about being an "Aluat" among the youth. With us, after the camp in the Carpathians, one guy from our parish began to draw his friends to the service simply by his example - without big words, he just became calmer and more attentive. Father Aurel, congratulations on the award, he deserved it.

It's good that the guy just became calmer and began to drag his friends to the service without any extra words. After the camp in Nemtsishor, one girl from the parish also started coming to the liturgy more often and now she herself bakes candles for the church. And tell me, Yuri, how many days did your camp last in the Carpathians?
