It's good that the Patriarch talks about this very parable - the excuses with fields, trade and oxen sound so familiar to me, as if I hear them from people around us every day. I often find myself procrastinating with "I have work now". And the service in Simeonovo must have been very nice, especially with those three priests together.

Yes, it's those excuses with the levels, trade and oxen that concern me the most. In the morning I think - now I will review the accounts for the company, then I will go to the evening meeting, and finally it turns out that I am "busy". The service in Simeonovo must have been peaceful, especially with these three priests together.

Yes, those excuses with the fields and the trade and the oxen really sound like my own - in the morning I say "now I'll water the garden, then I'll go to mass" and at the end I procrastinate again. Patriarch Daniel well reminded us that the invitation is for every baptized person. The service in Simeonovo must have been good with Father Ivan Hristov and the other two.

I struggle with the same excuses. In the morning I say "first I will go fishing in the river, after the service", and in the end I stay home. The Patriarch said it well, the invitation is for all of us baptized. The service in Simeonovo with the three priests would be quiet, as others say.
