Thank God that there were so many people at both the vigil and the Liturgy. Metropolitan Damaskinos did well to praise the faithful and thank Abbess Theodora and the choir. May the Lord give them all the strength for the new church year and those catechisms and charitable actions that he mentioned.

Praise be to God that so many believers gathered for both vespers and the Liturgy. Metropolitan Damascene did well to praise the people and thank Mother Theodora and the Byzantine choir. May God help us to keep up with catechesis and acts of mercy at the beginning of the church year.

Despot Damascene did well and praised them for the Vespers, for indeed there were many people. I remember last year when my daughter and I went to Lykourissi, Gerontissa Theodora had taken care of coffee after the Mass. May God give strength to all for the catechisms that are starting now.
