“All the diamonds in the world are nothing compared to a moment in God’s light.”

Pr Arsenie Boca

This yet-uncanonized saint of Romanian orthodoxy is still revered and loved by the many, much as he himself loved the many during his life, lived in the spirit of humbleness and of God’s saving grace, the life of a man like no other. He was a magnet to believers in all walks of life, but also a target of permanent suspicion by the state authorities.State officials failed to understand the source of his exceptional power of making people listen and follow.
