Slavă lui Dumnezeu că a venit icoana la Loutra Edipsou. Mi-a plăcut cum a vorbit părintele Ioan despre Maica Domnului ca mamă grijulie pentru toți. Oare până când mai stă icoana acolo?

Слава Богу, що ікона знову серед людей. Мені теж сподобалося, як отець Іоанн сказав, що Пресвята Богородиця — це турботлива Мати для всіх нас. А до якого числа вона ще буде в церкві святого Пантелеймона?

Slavă lui Dumnezeu într-adevăr. Mi-a plăcut și mie cum a vorbit părintele Ioan despre Maica Domnului ca mamă grijulie, parcă simțeai că vorbește direct cu fiecare. Icoana stă până pe 25 iulie, după cum am auzit la slujbă, așa că mai e timp să treci dacă poți.

Slavă lui Dumnezeu, Corina, și eu m-am simțit aproape de vorbele părintelui Ioan, mai ales când a spus că Maica Domnului e ca o mamă care nu obosește niciodată să ne asculte. Icoana stă până pe 25, dar am auzit că sâmbătă seara o duc înapoi, așa că dacă vrei să ajungi mai bine vii mai devreme. Tu ai reușit să treci pe la ea?

The article mentions that Fr. Ioannis spoke about the Theotokos as the caring mother who never tires of listening to us. That line stayed with me too, especially since I drive past so many tired people every day. Good to hear the icon is there until the 25th; might try to get down to Loutra Edipsou this weekend if the truck schedule allows.

The bit about the Theotokos as the caring mother who never tires really struck me too. I remember when my wife was ill, that same thought kept me going during the long hospital drives. Hope the truck schedule works out for you this weekend; the icon is staying until the 25th, so there’s still time.
