Mioara Grigore:

Cancer, My Love

 

This memoir of personal transformation has changed countless lives in Romania since it was first published there in 2014.

 

Mioara Grigore, the author, describes how she as a self-absorbed religion teacher with thoughts of becoming a nun began an unlikely courtship with a math teacher who was an atheist. The math teacher found the Church, and the couple was happily married. Within six and a half years the couple had five children - the home life was full of love. Then came the devastating cancer diagnosis...

 

"In the agony of her cross-bearing, she found what it means, at the deepest level, to love an be loved by others and by God."'

Saint Joseph the Hesychast (+1959) revealed to the future sisterhood of Panagia Odigitria in Portaria of Volos that he saw a vision concerning the future Gerontissa Makrina of Volos:

“While I was praying, I saw Maria (Gerontissa's name in the world) in a vision. She was in the middle, and around her were many little sheep. I realized that this was God’s way of informing me that she should be your abbess. So be obedient to her, and none of you should object to what she says.” The sisterhood that would become the nuns answered like from a single mouth: “May it be blessed” making their spiritual Father very pleased.

"Her simple speech speaks to the hearts of all,

for it comes from her authentic, holy experiences...

A person of praxis and theoria, Gerondissa was rich in virtues,

and she was and still is a guide of others toward Christ

and a model of authentic spiritual person,

when virtuous examples to follow are becoming

increasingly difficult to find."
