Bun, frate. I have a place cum a zis episcopul că omul unit cu Dumuşune cinstește pe cel harnic și pe cel credincios care-și face bine găirea. Biserica asta din Podolenii de Sus pare acum cu totul alta după ce au sfințit și pictura și casa prajnicală. Mulțumesc lui Dumuşno pentru austite de zile de Liturghie în aer liber.

It is nice what the bishop says about the man who is united with God and honors him who works right. In my village, we also had the church repainted last year, and then something else appeared. Thank God they finished the house for the festival.

And the church from our village in Crete, last year we repainted the image of the Virgin Mary on the wall and it was like new. Nice what the bishop says about the man who honors the industrious and the faithful. Thank God for days like this.

Well said, father bishop, that the man united with God honors the diligent one who does his work well. In our parish, we also painted the picture two years ago and the church looks completely different, as if it is calling you to enter. We also thank God for the festive house, it will catch us well in the autumn glory.

In the Yaroslavl region, we also recently updated the painting in one church after renovation, and it’s true that it became completely different - lighter and as if inviting you to come in. The Bishop said well about the one who honors the hardworking and faithful in his work. Thank God for days like these.
