Summary/Abstract: In the gallery of the great professors who served exemplarily the Romanianacademic theological education, a special place is held by Father ProfessorConstantin Galeriu, Ph.D., who identifi ed his personal life with the life of theChurch and that of the Faculty of Theology, and who trained, in the clerical spirit,dozens of generations of future priests, to serve God and men, with abnegation anddignity. The homiletic or preaching vocation of Father Constantin Galeriu can beconsidered only in the light of his pastoral service. The Father did not simply impartteachings from the pulpit, he taught by his own example as a priest and as a human,because his very life was a paragon of virtue and a model for all those who had theprivilege of knowing him. He understood, in an eloquent way, that only when one’swords are consistent with his deeds one is following the Gospel of our Savior JesusChrist.
