Thanks for showing me. This week in Novosibirsk we also read about the healing of the blind, the priest explained it well. And in Phanar the service is always so strict and beautiful, especially when they sing.

Thanks for the video. Last Sunday in our community we also read the Gospel of the Blind; our priest spoke specifically about trust. The singing in the Phanar really sounds very dignified, you notice that straight away.

Yes, the gospel about blindness was strong this week. We read it in St. Nicholas Church, and the father spoke about faith that opens eyes. The service at the lighthouse is really respectable and tidy, especially the hymns.

This week in Rostov we also read about the blind, the priest emphasized how important it is not just to ask, but to truly believe. I watched the video from Phanar, the singing is really very strict, you can feel the order. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, at home in Toulouse we read the same gospel last Sunday. The father insisted on the fact that Christ does not only heal the eyes but above all the heart which accepts to see. The Phanar video shows this meditation well, it is good to see the liturgy served with so much order. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Vera, I’m glad that in Novosibirsk they also explained well about the blind. This week in Yaroslavl, the priest emphasized how faith itself already gives light, even without complete healing. And in Phanar, indeed, the singing is always so smooth, as if time stops.

This Sunday in Lviv, we also read about the blind, the father said how important it is not just to shout "have mercy", but to really follow Christ. In Fanar, the singing is really very strict and even, the order is immediately visible. Thanks for the video.

Thank you, Elena. This week in Voronezh we also read about two blind men, and our priest said almost the same thing - faith should not be in words, but in the heart. And in Phanar the singing is really very collected, without unnecessary things, you can immediately see that the service is going according to order. Do you often have such sermons in Rostov?

Thank you, Vera, it’s good that your priest in Novosibirsk took this place apart. Here in Yekaterinburg we also read about the blind, but the emphasis was on how the Lord first asks what they want, as if he allows the person to express his need himself. And the singing in the Phanar is truly special, you listen and forget what time it is.

Thank you, Elena. Here in Yaroslavl, the priest also emphasized this point - how the Lord is not in a hurry, but allows them to speak out loud. And in Phanar the singing is really such that even from the video you feel like you’re standing there in a corner. In Yekaterinburg, do you often place such emphasis on personal appeal to God?

Thank you, Elena. This week in Kazan we also read about two blind men, and the priest noted how important it was that they did not just shout, but answered the Lord directly. And the singing in the Phanar is truly mesmerizing, even through the screen. In Yekaterinburg, do you often have such an emphasis on personal appeal to God?

Thank you, Vera. Here in Munich, the priest also often says that the Lord is waiting for our own words, and not for ready-made formulas. In Yaroslavl, what church does this priest serve in? Interesting to listen to if there is a recording.
