In the president’s office installed on the set of the "Daily Summary" show, produced by Mihai Gadea, people brought all sorts of gifts. A map of the Greater Romania, the flag, a portrait of Arsenie Boca and the Constitution of Romania.
But Monday evening, a special gift came from Professor Dan Voiculescu: a Bible, accompanied by a letter to the future president of Romania:
I have carefully watched all the appearances of the candidates for the presidency.
The interesting thing for me was to see that no one thought that the future president needs to be guided and to take God into account.
So no one has brought along the Bible.
Can a country governed without God be called a home country?
How about the people guided without God , can we still call them people?
So, thinking about the years of dictatorship, I understood what was missing from the future President’s office - the Gospel.
Perhaps, the meaning of its value will urge him to rule without pride, without love of money, of power and think primarily to the many and the needy and then, only much later he would think about himself.
Let’s remember how pride, power destroy every trace of humanity and make us slaves of the need to have.
We stubbornly believe that we want to exist when in reality all we want is to have.
Folks, nothing compares to the power of God!
Too many of us have forgotten to love, to give without asking anything in return, because we have forgotten to be simple, to listen to our souls, to comfort.
Dear future President, look up to God and on the way you will find us, the Romanian people.
We need you to do things right and not biased, we need you not to surround yourself with scamps with guts but by able men who every second of their lives can justify the step they are climbing .
And we need one more essential thing: do not take away our hopes and dreams, our everyday aspirations.
Let us dream of working every day with the passion of a free man, respected and loved!
For that we need God.
Let us return to God with all our hearts - and not only in crucial moments - and to re-learn to say "forgive me", "thank you" and "please".
Dear future President, only the one who builds, helps and loves is worthy of receiving the gratitude of his peers.
If you occasionally red a chapter of the Gospel you would think what would be like to be poor, not to have any, then you would certainly know what to do, and your human value will be appreciated by the Romanians.
Nothing could be more wonderful than to see our children and grandchildren growing safely.
God bless the Romanian people!
Dan Voiculescu
