"

I address God as a person not only because that is how I was brought up, but I was brought up that way because this way of addressing God is proper to man. I know, or may know, that the sun is a huge mass of hot gases, but I say, I cannot help saying and thinking, that the sun is a bright, warm, yellowish-red circle that appears and disappears behind the horizon line. In the same way, about God I know and can know that He is everything, that He has no edges and limits, but I believe and say, I cannot help saying and not believing, that God is the Father in whose power I am, who is good, he knows me and can help me. And I say: forgive me, God, help me, thank you.

Romanian

"Mă adresez lui Dumnezeu ca unei persoane nu numai pentru că așa am fost educat, dar am fost educat așa pentru că acest fel de-a te adresa lui Dumnezeu e propriu omului. Știu sau pot ști că soarele e o uriașă alcătuire de gaze încinse, dar spun, nu pot sa nu spun și să nu mă gândesc, că soarele este un cerc luminos, cald și roșu-gălbui, care apare și dispare în spatele liniei orizontului. Tot astfel, despre Dumnezeu știu și pot ști ca El este tot, că nu are margini și limite, dar cred și spun, nu pot sa nu spun și să nu cred, ca Dumnezeu este Tatăl în puterea căruia mă aflu, care e bun, mă cunoaște și mă poate ajuta. Și spun: iartă-mă, Doamne, ajută-mă, mulțumescu-ți Ție."
