Леся Коваленко

It is good that the Sisters of Mercy have already started working in the hospital. I hope they will have enough strength and patience, because there are probably many wounded people who need a simple human word. Let's pray for them.

Vangjel Kristo

It's good that they have started work in the military hospital. People there need not only medicine, but also a warm hand and a soothing word. I wish that God gives strength to the sisters of "Белые паруса".

Marija Pavlović

Horoso, chto sestry uze nachali. Hospitality and simple attention are sometimes important. Помолимся, чтобы хватило сил.

Dušan Stanković

I agree, Maria, usually that quiet conversation and a glass of water stay in the memory longer than the medicine. I hope that the sisters will have time for their families, so that they don't burn out. Which hospital is that exactly, do you know?

Petro Nako

It's good that the sisters of "Белые паруса" have started working in the military hospital. A calm word and a glass of water sometimes last longer than medicine, as Dušan also said. I pray that God will give them strength and time for their families.

Ilia Dhima

Well said, Vangjel. A warm hand in the military hospital often does more than medicine, especially when it comes from people who do the work with heart like the sisters of "Белые паруса". How many times have you seen for yourself how much a quiet word makes a difference to a sick person?

Світлана Литвин

Yes, Lesya, a simple human word is often more important than medicine there. I'm a nurse myself, I know what it's like to just sit by and listen. Let's pray that they will have enough strength for everyone.

Dhimitër Thanasi

Well said, Petro, a kind word and a glass of water really do go a long way. I too have seen in the hospital how a hand picking up the pillow or a simple smile helps more than pills. I pray that God will give the sisters health and time for their children.

Katerina Prifti

Yes, Dhimiter, you are right – a hand that adjusts the pillow or a simple smile often does more than medicine. Our sisters in Berat do the same when they go to the city hospital, although not the military one. Have you been to a hospital yourself recently?

Katerina Prifti

Yes, Dimitar, a smile and fresh water really last longer than anything. In our hospital in Berat, the sisters also keep small notes for each patient, so that they don't forget his name. Have you seen any such case recently?

Sotir Nako

Yes, Catherine, a smile and fresh water are simple but they make a difference. In our hospital in Korça, a young sister started writing the names of the patients in a small notebook after the first visit, just like you said about Berat. Have you seen any cases where this has helped patients open up more?
