Congratulations to Bishop Pachomius on his anniversary! I remember how he served in our Nizhny Novgorod church about ten years ago - very sincerely and simply. May God bless him for many years to come.

Рада за владыку Пахомия. Maximum, spasibо, it was called for the relief in winter. десять лет назад — я тоже тогда была на одной литургии и запомнила, как on просто and по-людски говорил. Здоровья ему, конечно.

Get more information. And in the middle of the night there is a lot of food, and then there is a lot of food in it. лишних слов. This is the most important thing in the world.

Élodie Bernard

Yes, I too kept in mind this simplicity he spoke of at the end of the liturgy. It was refreshing, without big speeches. I add my best wishes for good health to those of Juliette.

Nathalie Bernard

Yes, this simplicity also struck me, especially after an already busy liturgy. I found that this corresponded well to the spirit of Bishop Pakhomy. And you, Élodie, were you at the cathedral that day?

Hélène Martin

Yes, this simplicity really stands out. I also remember that he spoke about family life during his homily, it struck me because it was concrete, not theoretical. I wish him good health to continue like this.

Полина Павлова

I am glad that everyone remembers precisely this simplicity of Bishop Pachomius. We also had one such case in Voronezh about eight years ago - after the service, he stood with people near the church and talked in the usual way about how to keep children in the faith, without any lofty words. Good health to him, may he continue to serve.

Thomas Johnson

Yes, that simplicity stands out. I remember reading how Bishop Pakhomy spoke plainly about family life in his homily, much like what Hélène and Polina described from their own experiences. May the Lord grant him strength to keep serving that way for many years.

Sophie Moreau

Yes, this concrete way of talking about family really hits home. I too remembered this passage about everyday life with children, it made me think of my son in primary school. Let us pray that Mgr Pakhomy keeps this simplicity for a long time to come.

Juliette Girard

Yes, this simplicity after the liturgy also spoke a lot to me, especially when you come out of an already long mass. Thank you Élodie for your wishes, I add them to mine so that Mgr Pakhomy keeps this strength calm. Have you ever tasted his poppy seed rolls that he sometimes brought after services?

Michel Girard

Yes, what he said about family life during the homily was really down to earth, it changes everything. It made me think of the way we manage homework with my son in the evening after school. Do you remember a specific example he gave?

Julien Martin

Yes, this simplicity after a long liturgy really touches you, especially when you are tired. I have never tasted her poppy seed rolls, but I have heard several times that they are excellent; Next time he brings some, will you let me know? I of course add my wishes to yours so that he keeps this strength calm.

Élodie Bernard

Yes, this passage about daily life with children is really telling. With us too, the little details of the morning before school often come up in conversations after mass. Let us pray that this simplicity remains with him, it is precious.
