Thank you, Bishop Anthony. I especially remember how you said about “the quiet joy in the daily work of the monastery.” Here in Rostov I also often repeat this to children in class when they are tired.

Полина Павлова

Thank you, Bishop Anthony. In Voronezh, after such evening services, we also often have this feeling of quiet joy, especially when you walk home through the garden and hear the chickens already settling down for the night. I will repeat your words to my grandchildren when they grumble over their homework.

Thank you, Reverend Antonius. "Silent joy in daily work" remained in my heart the most. In Batumi, when I return from church in the evening and check my child's lessons at home, I remember exactly those words.

Thank you, Bishop Anthony. In our church kitchen we also often have this “quiet joy in everyday work” - when you peel potatoes after the evening service and take your time. I’ll remember your words and repeat them to the guys when they whine that they’re tired of washing dishes.

Thank you, Monsignor Antoine. At our bakery, after evening mass, this “quiet joy in daily work” comes back to me when I tidy up the bakery and I still smell the warm bread. I often say this to my son when he complains about his lessons.

Thank you, Bishop Anthony. In our store after evening service, I also catch this “quiet joy in everyday work” - when I put goods on the shelves and don’t get distracted by customers. I will now repeat your words to my son when he grumbles that he is tired after school.
