Thanks for the news. Bishop Methodios with priest Dimitrios Sobolev and deacon Dionysios – nice team. The prayer after the Gospel certainly did good to everyone there.

Ζωή Χατζή

Yes, the prayer after the Gospel always gives a quiet. I liked that you also mentioned priest Dimitrios and Dionysios, they are people we have known here for a long time. How did you find the bishop's speech?

سمير خوري

Yes, prayer after the Gospel always gives relief. I liked that Father Dmitry Sobolev and Deacon Dionysius participated, they are well known to us. I heard that Bishop Methodius' sermon was about faith in daily life. Did you hear it in full?

Μιχάλης Κωνσταντίνου

Yes, Dimitrios and Dionysios are among the stable ones, we have known them for years. The speech of the despot seemed to me simple and practical, without many words - he talked about how to keep the peace in the daily bustle. What do you have left of her?

Василий Петров

It is good that Bishop Methodius himself led the service in our Trinity. A sermon about how to maintain inner silence in the daily bustle is the most necessary thing now. Dionisy Karpukov has been serving for many years now, it was nice to see his name.

Ηλίας Παναγιωτόπουλος

Yes, prayer after the Gospel is indeed calming. I kept from the despot's speech the example with the sound of the factory that can be heard all day in our city – he said to find a corner of silence even there. You, Zoe, at what point of the day do you find it more difficult to keep this quiet?

Людмила Шевченко

Yes, I remembered how Dionysiy Karpukov read about that inner silence three years ago at the throne. Bishop Methodius' sermon about the factory hum also touched me - we have machinery near the cathedral constantly humming. And what moment of the day is the most difficult for you to save it, Ilya?

Δήμητρα Δημητρίου

Yeah, that factory example stuck with me too, especially when I pass that way after work. I have the most trouble in the afternoon, when my daughter calls and everything comes together. You, Elias, how do you manage to find that corner of silence in the daily hustle and bustle?

Юрій Марченко

Ludmila, I also remembered that sermon of Dionysius about inner silence - it's good that he said it clearly then. And it is most difficult for me to keep it in the evening, when I come home after a shift in the workshop, and there my daughter is still teaching lessons and the TV is playing in the background. And when do you have the worst time with silence?

Αναστασία Μιχαηλίδου

Yes, Dimitrios and Dionysios are like family here. I kept from the despot's speech the part about how prayer becomes like the bread we leaven every Sabbath – constant and necessary. Zoe, did he help you at all in the classroom with the children?

Νίκη Θεοδώρου

Yes, I really liked the bread part too, it's so simple and everyday that I remember it every Saturday when I'm kneading. Dimitrios really is like a child of our parish now. Zoe, what do you say, did he help the kids in class?

Παναγιώτης Νικολαΐδης

Yes, I remember the bread part too, it seemed very practical. Dimitrios does help consistently with the catechisms, as if he has always been here. Zoe, did you manage to say something to him after the service?
