Oh, people protected by God, become comfort to the Lord all the time and get used well
to have His wound into your heart and always comfort Him with your love, and you should not
have other love, for everything is only emptiness, and let only the Lord to be the fullness of your
heart, for this is how I lived in my body on the earth, and then I gave myself for the salvation of
many and I am the help of many. Peace to you from all the martyrs on the earth, for You over-
came the world and set apart for God! Be, therefore, the Lord’s comfort in His pain! Amen.
— I, the Lord, sit with the saints at the table with you, people receiving the word from
heaven, and you have another saint that I love at My table with you, and whose body, glorified
by Me, stands witness of the love of God into the midst of the city of Bucharest, surrounded by
My great patience: the devout Dimitrie 3 , who was glorified before Me by his humility on the
earth, who was a shepherd of cattle in his childhood and then in monastery, neglected by those
who were praised on My name, but who was praised by My righteousness in him after it was
discovered that it was, for it came out at the surface of his body that was godly even while he
was on earth and then he gave himself to the Romanian people to the testimony of humility and
of the love of God in man. Oh, what will the people of the servants of church answer face to
face with the life of this holy man, fruitful of humility and self-denial, and with whom they are
appearing before the people now, calling them to the feasts of saints and collecting a lot of
money for them from all sides? The devout Demetrious cries among the devout in heaven and
has long endurance for all who have him as their protector, as the saints are full of mercy and
they sigh with Me for man, and their sigh is heard sighing. Amen.
— Oh, this is how I sigh in the midst of the lawlessness that is loved by the people, Lord,
and into the midst of the richness of human glory, which does not warm You up but only them.
I sigh and I am long enduring because I did not love the earthly glory but I always loved hu-
mility and dwelling with You and in You, far from people and far from the servants of the church
full of glory, and behold, even now I have long endurance with heavenly love and I am suffering
for You so that You may keep the country of Your choice through the saints for the end of the
time and its land chosen for Your glory of today. You do no longer have any comfort from this
people departed from Your wills and Christian only by Your name upon it, but You have comfort
and You have heavenly wealth here, with the people of Your word, which You take care like a
child to have him and to have a house, Lord, for we, Your saints on the hearth of the Romanian
people, have long endurance with You for the protection of this land, on which You come and
glorify Yourself in the word. Oh, what will do all those who will see clearly how much heavenly
glory has been on this little patch of land and that there have been no eyes to see and to under-
stand? Oh, glory to You for Your today’s coming, in which You have Your saints as it is written!
Lord, blessed are those who are poor in their spirit, as I also was, and who wait from heaven
and not from earth for their comfort. Amen.

St. Dimitrie (Demetrius) Basarabov the New, the patron saint of Bucharest, is one of the most memorable
representatives of Christian life, and his relics are kept in the Patriarchal Cathedral in Bucharest. Saint Dimitri
(Demetrius) the New lived in the 13th century and little is known about his life. He was born in the village of
Basarabov, located on the banks of the River Lom, near the town of Russe. A shepherd in his early years, it is said
that St Dimitri had later became a monk, dedicating himself to fasting, prayers and vigils. For his humble life, God
entrusted him with the power to work miracles. The pious Dimitri knew the moment of his death beforehand, and
choose the place of his final rest between two stones that were gradually covered by the river. The place of his rest
was unknown until a sick child had a revelation when the pious Dimitri appeared in her dream and said: “If your
parents would take me out of the water, I will heal you!”
