Today after the Divine Liturgy, we shared a very special and moving moment — the Rite of Forgiveness. Every “forgive me” and every “God forgives” was spoken sincerely and in a truly family spirit, warming our hearts and uniting us even more deeply as one parish family.
After prayer, we continued our time together with a warm family gathering. Children and adults joyfully decorated cookies, shared smiles, helped one another, and later watched a Christian animated film that left bright thoughts and a joyful spirit in our hearts.
It was warm, sincere, and filled with joy — just like at home. Thank you to everyone who was present today — for your openness, your smiles, and your living presence. May the Lord bless our journey into Great Lent with peace, unity, and love.
