Thanks to Father Alexander for coming to Logojsk and talking so simply about faith, hope and love for one's neighbor. It's good that he answers people's questions, it must mean a lot to them in their daily stay there.

It is good that Father Oleksandr spoke so simply and humanely about faith, hope and love for one's neighbor. I see that he also answered the question - it is always more important than long sermons. Thanks to him, may God give strength to further such meetings.

It's good that father Alexander spoke very easily with the people about faith, hope and love of neighbor and also answered questions. My neighbor also often needs such conversations. God give you strength, Father Alexander.

Matthew Young

Good to see Father Alexander keeping it simple and answering their questions instead of giving a long talk. Those three basics — faith, hope, and love for your neighbor — are exactly what people in rehab need to hear on a regular day. Hope he makes it back there soon.

Νίκος Κωνσταντίνου

It is good that Father Alexander simply spoke about faith, hope and love to his neighbor and answered their questions. In our center here in Patras we had a similar visit last year and people were asking for days afterwards. To have the strength to continue.

Христина Панченко

It is good that Father Oleksandr spoke specifically about faith, hope and love for one's neighbor, and did not just give a lecture. I liked that he answered their questions - it always touches the heart more. We also had a similar meeting with the elderly in our parish, and after that they discussed for another week.

Θεόδωρος Γεωργίου

It's good that Father Alexandros simply spoke about faith, hope and love to his neighbor and that he answered their questions. In our center here in Athens we had a similar visit last year with elderly people and then they asked for days. To have the strength to continue.

Христина Петренко

Yes, Andriy, father Oleksandr really knows how to speak without excessive pomposity, as if he were having tea at home. I especially liked the fact that people asked questions, so it caught on. Have you been to such meetings in Logoisk or is this the first news?

Зоран Стојановски

It's good that Father Alexander did not give a long sermon, but simply spoke about faith, hope and love for one's neighbor and answered the questions. We had a similar meeting last year in the home for the elderly in Prilep, people talked about it for a long time afterwards. May God give him strength to continue.

Μιχάλης Χατζής

I agree, simplicity counts more in such meetings. And here in Agios Nikolaos we had a similar visit two months ago and some still remember what the priest said about loving one's neighbor. Our people often ask afterwards, what questions did you ask the most last year?

Ζωή Χατζή

Yes, simplicity goes a long way, especially when you're talking about faith, hope and love. In our center here in Thessaloniki, we also had such a visit months ago, and then they kept asking about how to show love in practice. What questions were asked the most last year at your center in Patras?

Μιχάλης Κωνσταντίνου

Good that you remembered last year's visit to Patras. I was left with the fact that after that night some people specifically asked how to hold on to hope when things turn bad. What did you answer the most?

Микола Панченко

Yes, Khrystyn, Father Oleksandr really speaks simply, like a human being. I also remembered how he talked about hope in God without notes. And were you at that meeting on July 10 or did you just read it?

Василь Петренко

Yes, I also noticed that Father Oleksandr does not teach, but simply shares, like with a neighbor on a park bench. I especially liked how he spoke about love for one's neighbor - without loud words, but with examples from life. And you, Mykola, are you often in that department or only at such conversations?

Yes, Khrystyn, father Oleksandr really does not like pathos, as if he is simply talking about what he himself experienced. I liked how he talked about love for one's neighbor using the example of ordinary household help. Do you often visit such branches or was it a one-time visit?

Βασιλική Θεοδώρου

Yes, I remember that conversation in Patras. I told them more that hope is not waiting for everything to go our way, but trusting that God never leaves us alone, even when everything goes wrong. You, Michael, how do you handle it when something like this happens to you?

Юлія Шевченко

Yes, I was also there on July 10, sitting in a corner by the window. Father Oleksandr really does not give lectures, but simply talks, as if about bread that you bake yourself. And you, Mykola, what exactly from his words about hope remained in your heart the most?

Γεωργία Βασιλείου

Yes, simplicity is key, as you say. At our center in Patras last year, people asked a lot about how to forgive when they feel betrayed by relatives. You in Thessaloniki, after that visit, did you have any continuity with the same groups or did it remain in the questions?

Тетяна Литвин

Yes, it was precisely on that example with the economy that everything was remembered - as if it was not a sermon, but just a conversation over tea. I was also at this meeting and noticed how people relaxed when he started about the usual business. And you, Mykola, often go with Father Oleksandr or was this your first joint visit?

Юрій Мороз

Yes, that very moment with the household remained in my memory too - as if we were not sitting in an institution, but in someone's kitchen. I went with father Oleksandr for the third time, but this time people were especially eager to ask. And you, Tatiana, which of his answers did you remember the most?
