Greek Orthodox  Metropolis of Atlanta 

My Beloved Ones,

This summer, I was very moved to read a testimonial from a respected Romanian Orthodox surgeon, who is also a Deacon. During the interview (which you may read here), when asked how he came to his faith Dr. Stefan Mindea answered in this way: 

"I owe my grandmother all that I have. She was a simple peasant woman who left school after only four years, yet she possessed a great fear of God. When we moved to the USA, we were poor…so our parents were very busy trying to ensure decent living conditions for the family. [Our granny] took us to church, told us about the power of prayer, and all of us siblings would keep fasts with her... Though we were quite small, we learned…how important it is to be pious, to do good to people around us, and above all to offer our sacrifice to God…Who is so generous to us. These values that we absorbed in childhood have enormously helped me build my relationship with God…”
