> Les praksisrapporten fra Simion og Razvan - teologistudenter fra Romania
Nidaros Pilegrimsgård hadde sommeren 2010 besøk av to teologistudenter fra Romania på praksisopphold i Norge. Her forteller Simion og Razvan litt om sin bakgrunn og sitt kall. Du kan også laste ned studentenes praksisrapport lenger ned.
We are Simion Purice and Razvan Pintilie, two Romanian Orthodox students from Iasi, who have come to the Nidaros Pilgrim Center from Trondheim, through a pastoral practice scholarship, for a period of three months.
We have been studying in Iasi, the most important city in North-East of Romania, for the last seven years and we come from Onesti, Bacau county, respectively Pascani, Iasi county.
In the Orthodox Church, the choice of studying theology is not a personal one, but a divine one. In order to become a priest, it is not enough for you to like priesthood, but you need a vocation. This vocation means the calling of God, the inner feeling of belonging to the servants of the Church. This is our reason for studying theology.
In Orthodox tradition, the most important part of the pilgrimage is not the road till the relic, but the actual meeting of the pilgrim with the saint towards whom he has been walking. Not the time spent on the way, not the difficulties of the path are important for us, but the state of spirit and mind, the contemplation and the prayer said near the saint. In other words, the emphasis is not on the body, but on the soul. Therefore, in Orthodoxy the pilgrimage is as much religious as spiritual, the two being inseparable. In this sense, His Beatitude, Daniel, The Patriarch of Romanian Orthodox Church, says: "The pilgrimage is a sacred journey with a holy purpose. It is not a walking journey, not a turistical curiosity, not a physical exercise for a better blood circulation and not a simple promenade. The pilgrimage is a journey with purpose of finding holiness. The pilgrimage has always aimed at seeking sanctity of holy places. The pilgrimage is a joint confession of faith not only inside the church within the walls, but also in the world, in the society. The pilgrimage prepares people for Resurrection and urges believers to meditation upon our passage through life and the world".
Through the pastoral practice we have done here, we have learned the importance of the ecumenical dialog for the reaching of our common goal towards which the pilgrimage takes us: Christ, the One who blesses His saints and gives them power to help us.
