This is why meetings between clergy and young people \u2014 including students from all faculties of Ternopil National Medical University \u2014 serve as an important source of inspiration, a compass in life, and an opportunity to deepen one\u2019s relationship with God, especially during the Lenten season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Throughout March and April, spiritual meetings were held in the reading hall of the TNMU library with the university chaplain, Father Ihor Drapak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\" wp-block-image size-large eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1244-690x460.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-164200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1244-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1244-202x135.jpg 202w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1244-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1244-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1244-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1244-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">These gatherings were conducted in an informal, trusting atmosphere, where each participant had the opportunity to ask questions, share doubts, worries, or joys.
