Тhe fathers from Sihastria Monastery and the faithful from the region remember with great reverence the name of Protosinghel Joel (Gheorghiu). He was a skilled spiritual father, meek and merciful, with a heart pure before God and man.

ON THE NECESSITY OF VIGILANCE: A SERMON FOR HOLY TUESDAY
Spiritual sleep is not like physical sleep, which strengthens the organism; to the contrary, this is an unhealthy sleep, a sick lethargy, in which people pursue vanity while thinking they are living a real life, forgetting about the soul, about God, about the future Eternal Life.
CHRIST TURNS OUR SORROWS INTO JOY
In heaven, all toil and sorrow shall vanish, loses will be restored, injustices shall be made right and sin will be no more.
