At the time of the overthrow of Ceausescu I was a priest in Dés. We would have liked to found a kindergarten, but we said it is too early yet we have to grow up to the task, we have to get money, to train ourselves .

We did not even try the following year , because we felt we were too small and weak . In October of that year I received a letter from my superiors , in which they informed me that they are going to transfer me from Dés to Déva . I was crestfallen . In vain did I collect strength , money I had to pass over my cherished dream to someone else , who may not feel the importance of this task as much ! Right up to this day there is no kindergarten there , perhaps there was no need for it , this however is not the essence , but I felt those three years were wasted in vain. I did not commit sins, but still I felt within myself guilty of omission , of making no headway .
