Thank you, Bishop Anthony. I especially remember how you said about “the quiet joy in the daily work of the monastery.” Here in Rostov I also often repeat this to children in class when they are tired.

Thank you, Bishop Anthony. In Voronezh, after such evening services, we also often have this feeling of quiet joy, especially when you walk home through the garden and hear the chickens already settling down for the night. I will repeat your words to my grandchildren when they grumble over their homework.

Thank you, Reverend Antonius. "Silent joy in daily work" remained in my heart the most. In Batumi, when I return from church in the evening and check my child's lessons at home, I remember exactly those words.
