A fost frumos slujba asta din Atena. Mi-a atras atenția că au avut atâția episcopi și arhimandriți împreună, mai ales pe episcopul de Androusa care a condus vecernia. La noi la Iași nu vedem așa de des aglomerație de ierarhi la un hram, dar se simte aceeași liniște când ard candelele.

A fost într-adevăr o slujbă cu greutate, cu atâția episcopi și arhimandriți adunați. Mi-a rămas în minte cum ziceți că a condus vecernia episcopul de Androusa, Kωνστάντιος – la noi, la hramul Sf. Andrei din Constanța, rar vezi mai mult de un arhiereu. Dar liniștea aceea de la lumina candelilor e aceeași peste tot, slavă Domnului.
