"A smaller palace, but beautifully decorated, in which the Heavenly Emperor can come and embrace us, listen to us, forgive us and receive our prayers", pointed out on Sunday Vicar Bishop Teofil Trotușanul of the Roman and Bacău Archdiocese at the church in the village of Cernu, Bacău county.

The hierarch explained the role of the holy place as a meeting space between God and man: "The Heavenly King wanted that, out of longing for man, for the much-loved bride, which is the Church, he would have a place where he could come and talk with us."

His Eminence congratulated the believers in Cernu for the support given to the completion of the works, emphasizing that they offered the community "a place of prayer".
