Recollections in February 16, 2006
Revelation was the main topic to discuss in those Recollections. People are longing to receive some special revelations from God, even „right away and now”. The Church teaching is that after Baptism a long way starts, sometimes with difficulties when the neophyte learns the meaning of true humility, putting down his own will and submitting to Confession. It takes whole life. The ultimate revelation is available in Christ Jesus – not only in His teachings, but His whole life until the death on the Cross. The meaning of this revelation is entrusted to the Church. Recollections were held by Fr Alexander (Shabelnik) and composer and specialist in liturgy Andrei Selicki.

Recollections were held by Rector of the Academy Dr Skaidrîte Gutmane and Fr Alexander (Shabelnik).
