Thank you for this visit. It's good that Father Serghie and Father Oleg went around the beds again and talked to each man individually. May God give them strength to continue.

Helena Schmidt

Thanks for the report. It was nice that Father Serghie and Father Oleg visited everyone individually again and administered the sacrament. May God give them strength to continue doing this.

Yes, I also read with joy how they entered each bed again. Father Serghie once told me that those short conversations, man to man, remain the most precious thing for them. May God help them not to tire.

Maria Dobre

Yes, their visit by going to each individual bed really matters a lot. Father Oleg once told me that after such talks, some injured people sleep peacefully for the first time. May God give them health so they can go on.

Thanks for this story. It is good that Father Sergi and Father Oleg again went into each ward and talked to everyone personally. May God give you the strength to continue.

Yes, I also heard that Father Serghie sometimes stays longer at the head of the bed with those who do not speak at all. May God give them patience every day, because this work is not easy at all. Have you been there recently?

Thank you Tamar, individual conversations are the most important in the wards. Father Sergi's voice When he speaks calmly, people immediately begin to breathe more calmly. Hopefully, they will come again in August, as promised.

Thanks Tamar, really personal conversations are the biggest benefit. Father Oleg's hand is always cold when he gives a blessing, my son told me this last month. Hopefully, they will make it in September as well.

Thanks Anna, personal conversation is really the most important thing. Father Oleg's cold hand reminds me of how my neighbor's boy told him that he recovered faster after that. I hope they will make it in September, as you say.

Thanks Anna, a really personal conversation brings you much closer to the person. Father Oleg's cold hand is interesting, my niece said the same thing when she received the blessing. I hope they will make it again in September and come again.

Thanks Anna, your son's story reminds me of how my neighbor got the same cold hand last year. Hopefully the temperature will be a little cooler in September so the boys will feel even better.

Thank you Nana, I also like that they talk to you personally, my husband also said that one sentence is enough to reach the heart. I really remembered father Oleg's cold hand, my son said the same thing when we met last year. I hope they will come at least in September.
