Χαίρομαι που ο Σεβασμιώτατος ευχήθηκε στον πατέρα Βιτάλι για τα γενέθλιά του και του χάρισε εικόνα. Είναι όμορφο όταν η Λειτουργία συνδέεται με τέτοιες προσωπικές στιγμές στην ενορία.

Хвала Богу за службу у Чёнках. Посебно ми је мило што је владика Стефан честитао оцу Виталију рођендан и дао му икону, то је баш по срцу. Код нас у парохији такође често спајамо Литургију са оваквим породичним данима.
