It's good that the seminarians meet regularly with Father Alexander Matruk. As a mechanic, I see every day how important it is for a person to have an experienced mentor who guides them. It's interesting to know exactly what they discussed at this meeting—perhaps one of them will share?

It’s good that seminarians regularly meet with Father Alexander Matruk. As Hristo writes, a good mentor is like an experienced mechanic: without him you can assemble an engine, and still something will knock. I wonder if this time they discussed how to maintain faith when you come to work in a parish after seminary.
