Tekst achterflap

Georgeta Germina Punga-Herbreteau has published several books in recent years about the work and life of Holly Father Arsenie Boca, a contemporary saint from her native Romania. In addition to ‘The Path to the Kingdom’ (2018), ‘Wonderlijk Uitzonderlijk 1’ (2019), the English translation ‘Wonderfully Exceptional’ (2020), ‘Père Arsène Boca – Un être merveilleusement exceptionnel’ (2023), a sequel is now available: ‘Wonderfully Exceptional II’. This book was constructed in the same way at the request of the reading public, namely a series of testimonies from people who met or got to know Father Arsenie during his life or after his death and on whom he left an indelible impression. “I hope that the testimonies about the Saint of Transylvania do not end with this second volume. In fact, it is impossible to compile a complete collection, because the miracles keep happening and the number of testimonies is increasing almost daily, even now that I am writing these lines! Father Arsenie Boca remains WONDERFUL (AND) EXCEPTIONAL! On July 12, 2024, Patriarch Daniel announced that the Romanian Orthodox Church approved the canonization of Father Arsenie in 2025. He receives the title: Saint Pious Confessor Arsenie of Prislop, with an honour / celebration on November 28. Alleluia!”
