Petro Nako

Mirë se vini, një fillim i ri viti shkollor është gjithmonë i veçantë. Më pëlqeu që klerikët e kishës së Shën Gerasimit Bol’dinskit u kujtuan për nxënësit dhe mësuesit në Kaliningrad – kjo tregon kujdes të vërtetë. Edhe në Korçë, kur fillojnë mësimet, lutemi për fëmijët që të kenë mendje të qartë dhe zemër të mirë.

Mirë se erdhe, Petro. Më pëlqeu që përmende Korçën, sepse edhe atje kemi një traditë të ngjashme me lutje për fëmijët në fillim të vitit. Në klasën e vajzës sime, mësuesja e matematikës gjithmonë thotë se mendja e qartë vjen kur ke qetësi në shtëpi, jo vetëm nga librat. A keni ndonjë lutje të veçantë që përdorni në Korçë për nxënësit?

Olimbia Prifti

Yes, Korça has beautiful traditions with prayers for children, I know it well. Here in Gjirokastër, the priests often say "Lord, enlighten the minds of our children as the sun illuminates the mountains", but I always add the prayer of St. John Chrysostom for peace at home. Your math teacher is right, without quiet, even books don't get into your head - I've tried it with my older son. What prayer do you use in class specifically?

Nikolla Nako

Yes, Petro, thanks for what you said about Korça - we in Gjirokastra also have the habit of going to church before school starts. I liked that you talked about a clear mind and a good heart because when I make breakfast for my little boy I always tell him to eat slowly so he doesn't get stuck. Do you know of a short prayer you can say with the children at the door of the classroom?

Dhimitër Thanasi

Yes, even in Elbasan we have a simple prayer that we say at the beginning of each school year: "God, give our children a clear mind and a calm heart". My old history teacher used to tell us the same thing – without peace at home, history doesn't even enter your head. How old is your eldest son now?

Eleni Prifti

Yes, this prayer is very simple and true. I say something similar every year to my daughter when she starts school, because without quiet at home I can't read anything properly either. My oldest son is 14 now, growing up fast.
