For a long time, I have wanted to share with the readers of Doxologia the inner journey of Lent. We begin with <em>The Road to Bethlehem<\/em> and as I write the preface to this collection, I have completed <em>Dawn of the Resurrection<\/em> (covering the Lenten season of 2026), while I\u2019m in the midst of publishing daily texts about the Pentecost season. No, these aren\u2019t ambitious pieces, but rather diary entries. A sort of roadmap for specific periods of time, clothed in the simplicity of joy. Because I believe that joy is not complicated; it does not wound with opulence, nor does it transform the valleys of sin into a ballroom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Father Constantin Valer Necula<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The Road to Bethlehem: Reflections on the Nativity Fast<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Author: Father Constantin Necula<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Title: <em>The Road to Bethlehem: Reflections on the Nativity Fast<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ISBN: 978-606-734-313-7<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Size: 135\u00d7210<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number of pages: 182<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Year of publication: 2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Binding type: paperback<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":5939,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[20],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-5938","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-teologie-spiritualitate","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v28.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Drumul spre Betleem.
