Today I Travelled safe from Minsk to Jirovichi with a little bus (marshrutka) as called in Russia / Belarus / Bulgaria. We went through Slonim which is a mid-sized city near Jirovichi village. The beautiful forests, I’ve seen reminded me how complex is all and how these trees grow from a small seed into a huge tree eating the light from the Sun and how impossible is to explain the symbiosis in nature without understanding that all was created majestic.
Coming at Jirovichi seminary, there was an evening service led by Archibishop Gurij who is currently the rector of seminary. We had a light meal in seminary meal lasts for about 10 minutes and starts up with a short prayer Father in Heaven and (Bogorodice Devo) Oh Mother of God Virgin and ending up with the prayer Благодарим Тя, Христе Боже наш, яко насытил еси нас земных Твоих благ; не лиши нас и Небеснаго Твоего Царствия, но яко посреде учеников Твоих пришел еси, Спасе, мир даяй им, прииди к нам и спаси нас. (Thank you oh Lord Christ our God for giving us all the food don’t let us without the Kingdom of God also but as you’ve come across your pupils come to us and save us.)
