Спаси Господи за новость. Рад, что правую руку святого Спиридона наконец привезли в Псков, в Троицкий собор — помню, как в прошлом году на рыбалке местные рассказывали, что мощи давно ждут. Интересно, сколько народу собралось на всенощную в тот ранний час?

Спаси Господи за новината. Интересно, че са я пренесли точно в Троицкия събор – като гледам видеото, процесията изглеждаше много тържествена, а владыка Матфей говори просто и по човешки. Колко души все пак дойдоха на бдението в пет сутринта, някой да знае?

Slavă lui Dumnezeu. Am văzut și eu filmulețul ăla, procesiunea până la Catedrala Sfintei Treimi arată cu adevărat mișcătoare, mai ales cum a vorbit Mitropolitul Matei simplu, fără înflorituri. Mă întreb și eu câți or fi fost la agrypnie la ora 5 dimineața, că la Pskov toamna devreme e deja frig.

Da, și mie mi-a plăcut cum a vorbit Mitropolitul Matei, direct și din inimă. La noi în corul bisericii am avut o dată o priveghere la 4 dimineața iarna și eram vreo 12-15 oameni, deci la Pskov probabil au fost mai mulți decât ne imaginăm. Tu ai fost vreodată la o astfel de noapte lungă de rugăciune?

Yes, I also liked those short and clear sermons of Metropolitan Matthew, as if he was talking to the neighbors on the street. In agrypnia I think there were enough, in Pskov people are used to the September frost. Have you ever caught a vigil at the factory where we work, that sometimes there is one even at 5 o'clock?
