It is good that the service in the Assumption Cathedral is ruled by Metropolitan Feognost, who heads the department for monasteries. Saint Philip has always been an example of courage for monasticism. Prayed for him this morning.

Ζωή Αναγνώστου

It's good that Metropolitan Feognostos, who deals with monasteries, worked there. Saint Philip indeed showed great courage as a monk. I also remembered to remember him this morning before I went to work.

Юлія Гончар

Yes, Feognost really fits this service, because he constantly works with monasteries. I also remembered Saint Philip at prayer today, especially his words about how a monk should stand for the truth even before the king. And which church were you in this morning?

Γιώργος Μακρής

Yes, it is the boldness of Saint Philip as a monk that made him tell the truth to the tsar. It's good that Metropolitan Feognostos, who knows about monasteries, officiated there today. Where did you go to work after the memorial, Zoe?

Анна Мельник

Yes, Feognost really knows monastic life well, that's why he served there. Today, I was at my church in Sikhov, and I also remembered St. Philip. Which monastery do you visit most often?

Іван Коваль

Yes, Feognost really has a lot of experience in monastic life, so it is not surprising that he is entrusted with such services. I also mentioned St. Philip at the Liturgy, and most often I visit the Pochaiv Lavra when I manage to escape there for the weekend. And in which temple were you in Sikhov today?

Світлана Мороз

Yes, Feognost really knows monastic life from the inside, which is why such services are entrusted to him. Today I was at the Liturgy in our church in Sikhov, and I remembered St. Philip at home when I watered the flowers in the garden. Do you often go to the Pochaiv Lavra on weekends?

Юлія Марченко

Yes, Feognost really knows monastic life well, that's why they entrust him. Today I was in our church in Sikhov, and after the Liturgy I also tied roses in the garden. And you, Pochaivska Lavra, what weekend are you planning to go to in the near future?

Людмила Мельник

Yes, Feognost really knows monastic life well, so it is not surprising that he is entrusted with such important services. And the last time I went to the Pochaiv Lavra was last year at the beginning of summer, precisely on the weekend, because the store then gave two days in a row. And you, do you often visit Pochaev?

Богдан Коваленко

Yes, Feognost really knows monastic life well, that's why they entrust him. The last time I went to the Pochaiv Lavra was two years ago for fishing near Ternopil, just in time for the weekend, and I dropped in for the service. Do you often go there on weekends?

Людмила Бондаренко

Yes, Feognost is really experienced in monastic affairs, it can be seen. I was not in our church in Sikhiv today, but at home I started embroidering a new napkin with a cross. And when exactly are you going to the Pochaiv Lavra, on what dates?

Сергій Шевченко

Yes, Feognost is really well versed in monastery matters, that is why he is appointed. And I am planning for the next weekend, July 22-23, in the Pochaiv Lavra, if nothing changes. Do you often take care of dry roses in your garden?
