School No. 22 held a lesson “Serving people begins small”translated

On November 12, at secondary school No. 22 with in-depth study of foreign languages named after Vasily Tezetev in the city of Ulyanovsk, a meeting of schoolchildren was held with an employee of the department of religious education and catechesis of the Simbirsk diocese, Priest Andrei Kiryushkin. The lesson on the topic “Serving people begins with small things” became part of the series of conversations “Life in Service” dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Kirill.

The priest told the students about the service of the sisterhood of mercy, about how important it is to help others in order to reveal in your soul the God-given destiny to fulfill the commandments of Christ about love for people. He noted how important it is for a person to participate in business not out of coercion or duty, but according to the call of the heart, because it is such work that helps spiritual growth and develops the best qualities of the soul.

The guys asked questions about the Church, faith, relationships with peers and adults. At the end of the conversation, the priest invited the teacher and his students to the church for an excursion.
