It's good that they conducted the moleben before the start of studies. Father Rostislav's words are exactly that - strength and inspiration for children. My son also went back to school this year, such a blessing would be very useful.

Yes, it's nice that they do the mólében before starting classes. My oldest grandson could use that water blessing and Father Rostislav's words about strength and inspiration, because he is having a hard time concentrating this year. I hope they organize it in our parish too.

Last year we also had such a prayer service before September 1, my son just entered his second year. Father Rostislav said well about communication skills - children now need this most of all, and not just straight A's. It’s good that they sprinkled everyone, after that I felt calmer.

Yes, holy water and those direct words from Father Rostilao help a lot when the kids start out dispersed. My eldest son was distracted by anything last year and after the mólében we noticed that he endured the day better. What grade is your grandson in now?

In our family, we also noticed that after such a prayer service, children go to school more calmly. Father Rostislav accurately noticed about communication skills - my eldest at work now complains that young people don’t even know how to talk normally on the phone. What direction is your son studying?

Last year we also had such a prayer service, and then throughout September my son did not dive into his phone after school, but told him what was happening at the lectures. Father Rostislav is right, communication is now worth its weight in gold. Vera, what faculty does your son study at?
