It's nice that the priest came to tell the boys right after the oath. It must have given both parents and soldiers some peace on that sunny day on K osulin.

It is good that the priest came immediately after the oath. On such a sunny day at the square in Kosulin, it really could give peace to parents and the boys themselves.

Yes, I agree, that priest came at the right time. My cousin had a son who served in a similar unit, and she said that they were really relieved after such a prayer. I hope that it also gave these boys the inner strength for the whole service.

Yes, that sunny day on K osulin was really soothing. Our daughter once saw a similar admonition in the crew and said that it helped the boys especially in the first weeks. I hope that the hearts of these parents will be at least a little lighter. I agree, Martin, the priest said it very directly and without unnecessary words. Our son had similar words from the chaplain before he left for training and it really helped him in the first few difficult days when he felt lost. Tell me, how is your daughter now, is it all over?

Yes, Martin, that sunny day on K osulin was really soothing. Our daughter once saw a similar admonition in the crew and said that it helped the boys especially in the first weeks. I hope that the hearts of these parents will be at least a little lighter. I agree, Martin, the priest said it very directly and without unnecessary words. My sister sewed uniforms for a similar unit in the past and said that words like that from a priest really make them feel like they are not alone. How do you remember it from your own experience?

Peter Kováč

Yes, Petra, the priest's direct manner really helps when you are standing there in line and everything is new. My older daughter-in-law told me that after such a talk, it was easier for them to bear those first nights on duty. And you, how often do you go to church in Michalovce, do you notice if the young boys from our parish still hear about such admonitions at all?
