Thank God the father went to see him. A visit like this means a lot to a wounded man in the hospital.

Андрій Шевченко

It's good that Father was not lazy and came. For a wounded person, such simple human attention in a hospital is often more important than medicine. Thank God.

Irina Dumitrescu

Yes, a visit from a priest brings relief that medicine alone cannot give. We also saw in our parish how a soldier returned from his mission calmed down only after he could talk to his priest. Do you think it would be good if we organized such regular visits to the military hospital in Chisinau as well?

It’s good that the priest was not lazy and came. In the hospital after being wounded, the hardest thing is to lie alone and think. We have one parishioner in Minsk, who returned from SVO, also said that simply talking with the priest helped more than injections.

Марія Панченко

It's good that Father came. In the hospital after an injury, the worst thing is to lie and think to yourself. Here in Kyiv, one parishioner, after returning from the front, also said that a simple conversation with the priest relieved more of the heaviness than all the medicines.

Елена Соловьёва

It's good that Father came. In New York, an acquaintance from a church also said after being wounded that the hardest thing is to lie there and go over everything in your head, and a simple conversation with a priest relieves the load at least a little.

Νίκη Θεοδώρου

The priest did well and went. In the hospital after a trauma, the worst thing is to be left alone and have thoughts running around. I had seen something similar in our own parish, that a man calmed down only when he talked to his spiritual.

Simona Tudor

Yes, the priest's visit helps a lot, I have also heard similar cases here. In Chisinau it would be good to try, but first see if the military hospital accepts and how the appointment is made, so that it is not just a nice idea. How about you, have you already talked to someone there?

Юрій Коваленко

Yes, Andrew, a simple "how are you, son?" from the father sometimes heals better than injections. One of our grandfathers in Kharkiv said after the operation that it was because of such attention that he slept properly for the first time in a week. Thank God that there are still such priests.

Constantin Tudor

Thank God, yes, a visit like this changes everything. I have a neighbor who was injured two years ago and he said that only after talking to the priest did he start to sleep at night without nightmares. Do you think it would help if we also sent prayer books or small icons around the parish?

Gabriela Popescu

Thank God, you are right, a visit from the priest makes one feel seen, not just a bed in a hospital. In our parish, we heard of a wounded boy who only started to cry when he received the blessing, as if something heavy had been unloaded. Do you think it would be better to bring some homemade sweets when we go, so that they feel at home?

Василь Петренко

Yes, a heart-to-heart conversation often heals more than pills. One man also came to our Odesa church after being wounded, he just sat on a bench in the garden near the church and felt relieved. Do you often see that parishioner now?

Daniela Marin

Yes, Constantin, a visit from the priest really changes things, I have also heard similar cases. Your neighbor was lucky to talk to someone who actually listened. Prayer books and small icons would be good, but I think it matters most if we take them personally or at least with a short letter from the parish, so that they feel that it is not just a package. What do you think, would you like to take this up in prayer group?
