Yes, prayer and the Eucharist are truly what keep us together. In our parish in Poltava, we can also see how the nuns, with their silent adoration, seem to "stitch" what is falling apart in the world. It is good that the Pope emphasized this.

Yes, prayer and the Eucharist do tie things together. In the workshop here in Volos, I see every day how a simple moment of silence in front of the Sanctuary helps us not to fall apart. Good that the Pope said it, although we Orthodox have been living this for years now.

Yes, Serhiy, prayer and the Eucharist are really stitched together. Our sisters in Kharkiv also sit in adoration for hours, and then you see - it becomes calmer in families. And in Poltava, in your parish, are they always in the same monastery or do they take turns?

Yes, George, silence in front of the Sanctuary is one of the most powerful things. Here in Patras, when I go after school to worship, it gives me the same feeling – as if everything that breaks during the day is being reattached. Really, how do you do it in your workshop in Volos, do you have a specific time for it or is it more free?

Yes, Serhiy, in our parish in Lviv, I also notice how after adoration with the sisters, it seems to be calmer even in the bazaar. And tell me, you have those nuns in Poltava from which monastery? Do they come from different places?
