Slavă Domnului că și ierarhi din Ierusalim au trimis cuvinte de sprijin. Tragedia din 23 august a lovit tare, dar e bine să vezi că frații din alte Biserici nu uită de fratele nostru din Lavra. O să pomenesc la rugăciune și pe mitropolitul de Vostra.

Yes, it is good to see that the metropolitan of Vostra remembered the brothers of the Lavra. The date of August 23rd has stuck with me, and I pray for the monks every afternoon after the garden. I hope more letters like that continue to arrive.

Thanks for this story. It is good that Metropolitan Vostris of Jerusalem supported the brothers of Sviatogorsk Monastery. The tragedy of August 23 was really heavy, one of my neighbors' brother also served there.

Thank God, Anca, I also read Metropolitan de Vostra's letter - it's nice to see that he specifically prays for the abbot and the brothers of the Lavra. The tragedy of August 23 reminded us how connected our monasteries are, even at a distance. I will also mention his name at the Holy Liturgy next Sunday.
