From September 26 to October 3, 2011, at the invitation of His Eminence Teofan, Metropolitan of Moldova and Bukovina, Father Zacharias embarked on a pilgrimage in the Metropolis of Moldova and Bukovina, during which he shared words of wisdom with several monastic communities. The following year, in June 2012, invited by His Eminence Andrei, Metropolitan of Cluj, Maramureș and Sălaj, Father Zacharias spoke on multiple occasions to the faithful in Transylvania.

The book presents some of the words spoken on these pilgrimages, springing from a diligent heart and sought after by hearts yearning to become diligent themselves.
