Glory to God for this Liturgy at the All Saints hermitage. I was happy that even the brothers of the monastery sang and that Vladyka mentioned the prayer for the shaking earth - here in Romania we also feel a little bit of that. A blessed day.

Thanks for the news. It is interesting that the Bishop also offered a prayer for earthquakes - here in Burgas it also shakes a little sometimes, especially last year. The brothers from the monastery singing alone is nice, it sounds more sincere.

I'm glad that the brothers sang themselves - it always sounds more sincere than invited choirs. And the prayer against earthquakes is relevant now, in our Odesa region, it also sometimes pops up. Thanks for the news.

Glad to see that the brothers of the monastery sang themselves - it always turns out warmer. And the bishop offered the prayer for earthquakes on time, in our Lviv region, the earth also sometimes hums. Thanks for the news.

The brothers from the monastery sang by themselves, that is the most beautiful thing that can be heard at the Liturgy. Bishop Teodor also mentioned praying for earthquakes, in Vojvodina this rarely happens, but it is good that he prays for protection. Thanks for the news.

Rositsa, thank you for your comment. Indeed, the prayer from earthquakes is very timely - and in Ruse last spring we felt a slight tremor, so I thought of her. Brothers singing alone is more heartfelt, you're right, no frills. And do you often feel tremors in Burgas?

Yes, the brothers sing in a particularly sincere way, without other people's decorations. And as for the prayer against earthquakes, we also have earthquakes in the Lviv Region sometimes, albeit weakly, so it's good that they don't forget it. Thanks for the comment, Oleg.

I agree, brothers, when they sing by themselves, it is the most natural and beautiful thing at the Liturgy. Here in Belgrade, they also rarely mention praying for earthquakes, but after those earthquakes in Turkey last year, it seems to me that it is good to pray for that as well. Thanks for the reminder, Anna.
