What a tragedy, shooting at a funeral in a church. I pray for the victims and their families, this is the height of evil.

Terrible, shooting at a funeral in a church. It's already out of mind. I will pray tonight for those people and their families.

Pavol Novák
That's terrible, shooting at a funeral right in a church. I pray for those injured and their loved ones, that they recover as soon as possible.

What a horror. Shooting directly at a funeral in a church is already beyond the bounds. I will pray this evening for the wounded and their families, so that they recover quickly.

Yes, it's creepy, especially when it's at a funeral. Here in Kazan, thank God, I haven’t heard anything like this. Pray, Katya, and I will also light a candle for the wounded this evening.

Yes, Pavol, shooting directly in the church during a funeral is something unimaginable. I prayed for the victims as soon as I read it, and I hope that at least one of the five is feeling better.

I agree, Tomasz, shooting in a church during a funeral is inhumane. We know from our parish how peaceful funerals look like, but here it is such a horror. I pray that the police catch the perpetrator quickly.

I agree, Nikola, completely out of my mind. In our church, the only thing that goes well in the summer is cakes and brandy, not bullets. Pray also for those who shot, that their hearts will change.

I agree, Tomasz, a funeral is the last thing where people expect shots. In our parish, even after difficult funerals, people stay for coffee and cookies, and this is such a tragedy. I wonder if it was revenge or something random.

I agree, Miloš, at our church in Kragujevac it's the same - only cakes fly, and sometimes children run between the pews. I just prayed for those people in Detroit, that their hearts would be changed as you say. And have you been to a celebration where there was more brandy than cake?

Dušan Obradović
Yes, Miloš, that's right - here in Novi Sad, at the memorial service in the church of St. George, only a box with cakes and a few bottles fly, not lead. I also prayed for those unfortunate people in Detroit, that God would touch their hearts. Have you ever seen someone at a party start arguing over who will take the cake first?

Danica Ristić
I didn't see a fight over cake, Dušan, but I did once at my aunt's party in Futog where two cousins ​​got into a fight over who brought the better brandy. With us, at least it's about words and laughter, and those in Detroit obviously had something much more difficult. Pray a few more times for them, I guess it will help.

Yes, here in Podgorica, at the celebration after the liturgy, there are usually more cakes and coffee than brandy, at least in the last couple of years. The kids really run between the benches, that's right, once my son almost knocked over my tray. And you, Nemanja, how much brandy do you usually drink at your slava?
B
Branislav Stanković
Here in Niš, at the celebration after the liturgy, there is usually more cake and juice than brandy, at least when the children are there. I once saw a grandfather almost spill an entire tray while catching a grandson who ran past. And you, Nemanja, on which fame did the brandy "fly" the most?
