Kydonias Titos to the successful candidates of the Panhellenic Examinations: "Walk with faith in God"translated

The Most Reverend Metropolitan of Kydonia and Apokoronou, Mr. Titos, addresses his warm congratulations to the male and female students who have succeeded in their admission to Higher Education and Public Higher Vocational Training Schools, on the occasion of the announcement of the results of the Pan-Hellenic Examinations. His Holiness characterizes the success of the young people as the culmination of a long and demanding effort, "full of toil, anguish, patience and sacrifice", and wishes that the new period of their lives will be creative and fruitful. He urges them, at the same time, to take advantage of the opportunities that open before them for the acquisition of knowledge, spiritual cultivation and substantial contribution, walking "with faith in God, humility, consistency and love for fellow human beings".

Dobrze, że Metropolita Titos przypomina o pokorze i wierze, bo stres potrafi człowieka całkiem sparaliżować. A twój syn na jakim kierunku w końcu wylądował?

Mój syn też poszedł na pielęgniarstwo, dokładnie tak jak twój, i mówi, że po pierwszym semestrze już wie, po co to robi. Dobrze, że Metropolita Titos przypomina o pokorze, bo u nas w domu stres z egzaminów jeszcze przez miesiąc wisiał w powietrzu. A na jakim wydziale studiowałeś ty sam, Marek?
