It's good that they were taken to the Vysoko-Petrovsky Monastery. For the people of "Koinonia" and "Resurrection" it is probably a strong day outside the regular program.

Юлія Шевченко

It's good that they took it to Vysko-Petrovsky. We also had a similar departure from the rehabilitation center in Poltava, people then remembered for weeks how they breathed differently after the service in the church. I hope that the day became a support for these guys.

Соломія Панченко

It's good that they took it to Vysko-Petrovsky. My daughter once went with a similar group to a monastery near Kyiv and then said that after the liturgy her head finally became quiet. I hope this day was also helpful for the boys.

Ana Matei

Good thing they took them to Vysoko-Petrovsky. In our church choir, we heard from a boy from the help group that after a liturgy in the monastery he slept peacefully for the first time in months. I hope it was a day to remember for them too.

Илья Морозов

It’s good that they took us to Vysoko-Petrovsky. In our Sunday school, one guy from a similar group, after such a trip, for the first time in a long time, said that it was as if he had let go inside. I hope the day gave these guys at least a little peace.

Dušan Obradović

Good thing they took them to Visoko-Petrovski. In our country, a guy from a similar group said after the service in the monastery for the first time that his head "calmed like after a long drive". I hope that the day remained a point of support for these guys as well.

Галина Соколова

Thank you, Ilya. Last year we also had a similar group from “Resurrection,” and one man then came to the church for a whole month just to sit in silence. And in which church exactly was your boyfriend “released”?

Илья Смирнов

Thank you, Galina. For my boyfriend, it was in the Peter and Paul Church; after the service, he stood there for a long time at the icon of Peter and Paul and then said that something seemed to have let go inside. And your man, who came just to sit, did he then stay in the church or did he only go that month?

Светлана Новикова

Thank you, Ilya. In our garden, after such silence, it’s also easier to breathe. In which church was your boyfriend released, the upper one or the lower one?

Тимофей Виноградов

Thank you, Svetlana. In his upper church, at the shrine of St. Peter. What are you planting in your garden this year?

Branislav Stanković

Well said, Dusan. A friend from the group told me after the visit to the monastery that after vespers, for the first time in a long time, his head stopped spinning. Visoko-Petrovski has that peaceful force, it's not just beauty. Did you hear from that guy again after that?

Елена Орлова

Thank you, Svetlana. This year we mainly have tomatoes and cucumbers, my daughter helps water them. What is growing in your garden?

Николай Соловьёв

Thank you, Elena. This year we also have mostly tomatoes and cucumbers; my wife makes sure that her son doesn’t pour water on them from the hose. Does your daughter water it herself or does she do it with you?

Елена Иванова

Thank you, Nikolay. I don’t have a daughter yet, but my niece sometimes helps with watering - although she pours more water on the ground than on the beds. Has your son already realized that a hose is not a fountain? 😊
