Thank you for telling me. It was nice to see how Bishop Prodromos spoke directly in his sermon about the faith of the parents of Saint Kyriacia and how her example can inspire children. And the meeting of the three metropolitans in Moyres with songs and hymns also sounds homely and churchlike at the same time.

Thanks for sharing it. I liked how Metropolitan Prodromos in his homily specifically mentioned the faith of the parents of St. Kyriakia and how her example serves the children. And the meeting of the three metropolitans in Moires with songs and hymns sounds warm, like a real church family.

I am glad that Bishop Prodromos spoke precisely about the faith of St. Kyriakia's parents and how her example should inspire the children. In our parish, we also often remind parents about this. And the meeting of the three metropolitans in Moires with songs and hymns sounds very heartfelt.

It is good that Bishop Prodromos spoke about the faith of her parents and about the example to the children. In our parish we also often repeat it to mothers and fathers. And the meeting of the three metropolitans in Moirès with songs and hymns sounds like a true fraternal gathering.

Yes, she is talking about the faith of her parents and children - this is the most important thing that many families are missing now. In our church in Burgas, we also emphasize it in the catechism for parents. And the meeting in Moires with the three bishops and the hymns must have been very warm, like a real little celebration.

I agree, Bohdana, it is precisely the faith of parents that is most lacking today. In Sofia, too, I see how the children in Sunday school are mostly influenced by what they see at home, and not only by the catechism. The meeting at Moirès with the three bishops and the songs must have been truly cordial – such small gatherings often linger longer in the memory than large celebrations.
