Gabriela StanBine că a mers Mitropolitul Ignatios la Sfântul Laurențiu și a văzut copiii. Mi-a plăcut ce a spus despre diamantele din ochii lor, se simte că i-a observat cu adevărat. Și are dreptate, familia trebuie să continue ce începe tabăra, altfel se pierde totul după o săptămână.

Sarah CollinsΕίναι ωραίο που ο Μητροπολίτης Ιγνάτιος πήγε και είδε τα 90 αγόρια από κοντά. Μου άρεσε που είπε «έχετε διαμάντια παιδιά» – φαίνεται ότι πραγματικά πρόσεξε τα πρόσωπά τους. Και δίκιο έχει, αν η οικογένεια δεν πάρει τη σκυτάλη μετά την κατασκήνωση, όλο αυτό χάνεται σε λίγες μέρες.

Florin StoicaDa, și mie mi-a plăcut cum a zis de „diamantele din ochii lor”, se vede că s-a uitat cu atenție la ei, nu a vorbit în general. La noi în taberele de la mănăstire se întâmplă la fel: o săptămână plină de veselie și rugăciune, dar fără părinții implicați acasă se risipește repede. Tu ai fost vreodată cu copiii la Sfântul Laurențiu?

Daniela PopescuDa, și eu am zâmbit la vorba cu diamantele din ochi, sună a om care chiar s-a oprit să-i privească. La noi, după taberele de la mănăstire, încercăm să ținem măcar rugăciunea de seară împreună cu nepoții, altfel se risipesc repede amintirile. Tu ce crezi că ar putea face părinții concret în primele zile după tabără?
