Te Deum at the opening of the Putnei Colloquiums: Set an example of constancy and steadfastness, said PS Damaschin Dorneanultranslated

The Most Reverend Father Damaschin Dorneanul, Vicar Bishop of the Archdiocese of Suceava and Rădăuți, on Thursday blessed the start of the new edition of the "Putnei Colloquiums" history symposium, officiating a Te Deum together with Archim. Melchisedec Velnic, the abbot of the monastery, and with parents from the community.

The service was attended by believers from the area, pilgrims and scientists participating in the works.

"In addition to the word of welcome, we also address this humble and heartfelt thanks, because you are teaching us, the people of the Church, something about which we should have taught others," said the hierarch.

"Perhaps in this way, through a stay and work together, we can learn from each other the work done with steadfastness. In the Apostle who was read, it was said: Whatever you do, do as for God, not as for men. If we had this thought, I think that a lot would change in our lives, in this world."
