Thank God that the Metropolitan served in both Pandroso and Pallada. It's really nice that he mentioned that we should look to the sky, and not only to earthly things - that's always the hardest thing for me in everyday life.

Teodora Jovanović

Thank you for saying that, Stefan. The word about looking at the sky is the most difficult for me too, when I get caught up in work and worries about the child and school. It's nice that the Metropolitan served in both churches, it seems that the glory passed peacefully and with dignity.

Teodora, you are absolutely right, that word about looking at the sky is the hardest for me when I get stuck in the garden and fishing and forget to raise my head. It is nice that the Metropolitan visited both churches, one can see that everything went as it should, without crowds. How do you manage to apply it with the child and the school, do you have a little trick of your own?

Zoran Živković

Yes, Teodora, that worry about the child and school can pull you down like an anchor. It helps me when in the evening, after fishing, I sit on the porch and read a few verses from the Book of Elijah - the image of that fire from heaven immediately comes back to me. And you, do you have a small icon in the house next to the child's bed?
