Pamatuji si, jak nám otec Igor vyprávěl o sv. Anně Ežové, že pracovala v nemocnici a odmítla se zříct víry i před bolševiky. Dneska to člověka donutí přemýšlet, jestli bychom my v pohodlí takhle obstáli.

That story from Fr Igor about St Anna working in the hospital and refusing to renounce her faith really stuck with me too. Makes you wonder how we'd manage if it wasn't all so comfortable. Thanks for posting this, Lenka.
