During his communication with the students, Elder Ephraim referred to issues of faith and spiritual life, underlining the importance of cultivating a sense of eternity. He characteristically said: "Whoever has a sense of eternity also has a sense of temporality."

In the short discussion he had with the teachers, the Elder emphasized the spiritual role of the teacher and the need to pray for the children under their care. "Pray for your students. From one class until you go to the next, there is enough time for prayer," he pointed out, while urging them to rejoice in the spiritual cultivation of their students.
