Romanian Church Declares 2013 'the Year of Father Dumitru Staniloae'


February 1, 2013

His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel of Romania has declared 2013 to be dedicated to Father Dumitru Staniloae. This was to confirm the decision of the Holy Synod of Romania, and was proclaimed in the Church of Saint Spyridon following the Divine Liturgy for the feast of the Three Hierarchs on January 30th.

"Fr. Dumitru Staniloae was a teacher of Orthodox spirituality and the spiritual life. He was a vigilant protector of Orthodoxy, a guide and teacher of the theology of humility, a translator of Patristic treasures, and a tireless author of theological and spiritual works," said the Pariarch in his homily.

The Patriarch noted elsewhere: "Fr. Dumitru was a prototype priest, and is considered the greatest theologian of the twentieth century. He left a great inheritance to our Church."

To be noted, throughout the year there will be various events dedicated to the person and work of Fr. Dumitru Staniloae.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
