Firstly, there are provided shortly the biographies of the priests who during between two world wars took care of the spiritual well-being of the Bessarabian Catholics, the presentation of their life does not stop at 1940, when Bessarabia was occupied by the Soviets, but goes to the end of each one’s life. Next, there are provided the figures of four priests from the area between Prut and Nistru, who in the interwar period either were born or were ordained as priests. They operating farther within Diocese of Iaşi, even if they do not refer strictly to clergy, we considered it appropriate to provide, at the end, some figures of seminarians who did not reached the time of their ordination as priests, abandoning, from subjective or objective reasons, the path of sacerdotal formation.

Cristian Diac: Heilsplan in den lukanischen Begriffen (Lukasevangelium und Apostelgeschichte)

Lukas, der Urheber des dritten Evangeliums und der Apostelgeschichte, ist der Theologe des Gottes Planes und man schreibt ihm am ehesten dieser theologische Leitgedanke zu, obwohl ein planmäßiges Handeln Gottes für das Paulus Denken, insbesondere im Römerbrief nicht fremd erscheint. Es muss klargestellt werden, dass Lukas in seinem Doppelwerk den Gottesplan nicht thematisch behandelt. Er theoretisiert darüber nicht, wie die Stoiker seiner Zeit z.B. Weder im Evangelium noch in der Apg findet man ein Kapitel, wo überhaupt nur vom Heilsplan die Rede ist. Der Plan Gottes wird in seinem Wortschatz, sowie in den großen Themen seiner Theologie entdeckt, wie Heilsgeschichte und Umkehr. Es sind die spezifischen Vokabeln, die darauf hinweisen, dass der Eingriff Gottes in die Geschichte Israels und in den Menschen Jesus von Nazareth einen Leitfaden hat, eine Gesamtheit bildet und zu einem eschatologischen Ziel führt.

Fabian Doboş: L’erezione del Vescovado di Jassy (27 giugno 1884) e gli inizi della nouva diocesi

This article deals with the establishment of the Episcopate of Iasi (June 27, 1884), with highligh on the personality of the first bishop (Nicolae Iosif Camilli) and his pastoral activity. Nicolae Iosif Camilli was an apostolic vicar for Moldavia at the time of his appointment as the first bishop of Iasi. The study also presents the first activity of the first bishop of Iaşi, with focus on his most important work: the establishment of the Diocesan Seminary „St. Joseph” in Iaşi, at the helm of which Bishop Camilli put in charge some Jesuits from Poland. However, this was not to the liking of his Franciscan brothers nor to that of the Superior General of the Franciscan Order. Therefore, after 10 years of pastorate, the first bishop of Iasi resigned in 1894, and the Catholics of Moldova were then led by Săbaoani parish priest Caietan Liverotti as an apostolic administrator until the following year when the Holy See appointed the Swiss Franciscan Dominic Jaquet as Bishop of Iaşi.

Ciprian Bejan-Piser: La partecipazione dell’uomo, in particolare della Genitrice di Dio, all’unica mediazione di Cristo nella luce del numero 60 della Costituzione dogmatica Lumen gentium

The number 60 of Lumen gentium summarizes a fireplace carefully prepared by six Popes, (from Pp. Leo XIII up to John XXIII), in which we can identify the desire of the Church to better understand the relationship between man and divine grace and the eventual possibility of man to participate actively. We propose to outline and ask ourselves about the ability or otherwise of man to participate in the unique mediation of Christ as well as the role of the Mother of God, as a perfect image of participated mediation in Christ.

Cristian Diac: Rolle Gottes im Freiheitsbegriff von Epiktet

Epiktet sieht im Erreichen der Freiheit die höchste Erfüllung des menschlichen Daseins. Die Freiheit eröffnet sich für ihn als einzige erstrebenswerte Möglichkeit, die Verbindung zwischen ihm, als Teil des Logos, und dem ganzen Logos herzustellen und aufrechtzuerhalten. Aus der Perspektive der Herkunft ist der Logos die Ursache für die menschliche Freiheit. Aus der Perspektive des Zieles ist bedeutet er eine authentische Einheit des Menschen mit sich und dem Kosmos. Der Heilsplan, den Gott nach Lukas in Jesus Christus ausgeführt hat, involviert die Partizipation gegnerischer menschlicher Faktoren, die paradoxerweise dazu führen, dass der Plan sich letztendlich vollzieht.
