It's good to hear the Patriarch say the Church is praying for everyone keeping order and safety in Bulgaria. Those police and security folks have a tough job, especially these days.

Jan Novák

Yes, the police and firemen have a really hard job these days. I am glad to hear that Patriarch Daniel is specifically praying for them, they need it. In our hospital, I see how often they end up with injuries after an intervention.

Kristina Dhima

It's good that Patriarch Daniel said it openly - policemen and law enforcement officers have a hard job every day, especially now. The Church's prayer for them is necessary, because we see what accidents happen to them. Thank you for remembering this.

Катерина Ангеловска

Yes, it's nice that Patriarch Daniel said it directly. In Bitola, the police often run after traffic accidents at the exit to Prilep, and no one mentions them. May God help them to return home alive every day.

Κατερίνα Παπαδοπούλου

Yes, it is good that Patriarch Daniel said it. In Patraikos we often see the Traffic Police running into accidents on the road to Corinth, and nobody thinks about them. I pray that God watches over them every night when they go home.

Florin Stoica

Yes, it's good that Patriarch Daniel said it openly. Here in Chisinau, I see the police officers at the intersection at the city gate every day running to accidents on the road to Orhei and no one says anything about them. May God give them strength to return home safe every night.

Κώστας Χατζής

Yes, Katerina, you say it right. In Larissa we see the Traffic running towards Tempi in every weather, and we rarely think about what they are going through. I too hope they come home safe every night.

Viorica Popa

Yes, it's good that Patriarch Daniel made it clear. Here in Constanța, the policemen run almost every day towards Mangalia or towards the bridge from Cernavodă to accidents, and people only see them when they stop them. May God give them strength to reach home in the evening to whole children.

Αντώνης Οικονόμου

Yes, Katerina, you are right. Here in Thessaloniki, the Traffic always rushes to the toll booths and the airport, especially on weekends, and we rarely think about them. I too pray that God keeps them strong every night they come home.

Hana Dvořáková

I agree, cops and firemen have it really hard these days. Here in Brno, it sometimes happens that they end up in the hospital after an intervention, and then one realizes how much they are needed. Who do you pray for most often at work?

Зоран Стојановски

Yes, Katerina, in Prilep we also often hear about those accidents on the road to Bitola. The policemen really run after every accident, and they wait for the women and children at home. May God give them strength and peace every day when they go out on the road.

Γιάννης Κωνσταντίνου

Yes, Katerina, you are right. Here in Thessaloniki I often see the Traffic rushing to the port in bad weather, and we rarely think about how tired they are. I also hope that God watches over them every night when they go home.

Elena Nako

Yes, Kristina, police officers really do work in dangerous conditions every day, especially with the accidents we see on the roads. Praying for them is a good and simple thing, as our parish in Gjirokastra does for law enforcement officers. Do you have any personal acquaintances in the police that we would like to ask for their names?

Margarita Prifti

Yes, Elena, policemen have a difficult job, especially with road accidents, as you say. In our parish in Durrës, we once prayed for a policeman we know from the neighborhood, after he was injured in a chase. Do you have a specific name from Gjirokastra that we can add to our prayers?

Daniel Procházka

I agree, it's really hard for those people, here in Prague I see it with my own eyes when the ambulance or the police come. At work, I pray the most for my colleagues who are in charge of the security systems in the building, because that is also quite stressful. And you, Hana, are you praying for someone specific from those who interfere in Brno?

Vasilika Thanasi

Yes, Margarita, their work is really hard, especially when they go out at night. In Berat, we have a policeman in our neighborhood who we know was on patrol during those accidents near the river. Can we add his name, Sokol, to our prayers?

Kateřina Svobodová

Yes, those security systems at work must be really demanding, especially when the entire building relies on them. Here in Olomouc, I also sometimes pray for the firemen who come to our neighborhood. What about you, Daniel, do you have a specific prayer that you say for your colleagues?

Václav Dvořák

Yes, Katerina, you're right, those security systems are really demanding, especially when you rely on them for the entire shift. I simply pray "Our Father" and then add a request for my colleagues to return home safely. And do you know the firefighters from your neighborhood personally, or is it just passing by?

Sofia Thanasi

Yes, Margarita, the police in Durrës know very well how dangerous the pursuits are. In Berat, we had a similar case with an accident near the old bridge, but I don't know the name of your son, a policeman from the neighborhood. What do they call that boy who was injured?

Πέτρος Σταθόπουλος

You're right Giannis, here in Larissa I see the Traffic Police going out into the rain for accidents on the highway and we rarely think about it. I also hope that they return home safe every night.

Gjergj Dhima

Yes, Vasilika, night police work is really tiring. In Tirana, we have a son of my cousin who patrols the streets of the center and tells us how many times he has to stay awake until morning. We will add Sokol to our prayers, along with all the others who maintain order.

Teuta Nako

Yes, Sofia, Durrës police officers are really in danger every day. I remember that accident near the old bridge in Berat, but I don't remember the name of the injured boy. What do they call it?

Spiro Kristo

Yes, Sofia, the police in Durrës know the danger well, as well as that boy from Berat who was injured near the old bridge. I remember the occasion, but I can't remember the name. Do you know what it's called?

Kristina Dhima

Yes, Teuta, Durrës policemen really work in difficult conditions every day. The accident you mention in Berat near the old bridge was serious, the boy's name is Endri, if I'm not mistaken. Have you heard how his condition is going now?
