Throughout March and April 2026, the reading hall of the university library was transformed into a space for \u201ctherapy of the soul.\u201d The university chaplain, Father Ihor Drapak, held a series of meetings where, in an atmosphere of complete trust, students sought answers to various life questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\" wp-block-image size-large eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"613\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5-613x460.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-182631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5-613x460.jpeg 613w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5-180x135.jpeg 180w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u201cFather Ihor became a friend and advisor to young people, helping them discover the depth of prayer and the Sacraments,\u201d noted Ivanna Kernychna. A wide range of topics was discussed \u2014 from choosing one\u2019s life path to serving others. These dialogues left a deep mark on the hearts of future medical professionals, reminding them that a doctor treats not only the body but must also possess a deep spiritual dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\" wp-block-image size-large eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"613\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_2-613x460.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-182632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_2-613x460.jpg 613w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_2-180x135.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">In a world full of anxiety, the university chaplain, Father Ihor, helped students find inner support through faith and sincere communication with God. During these hours, the library hall became a place of living prayer and heartfelt conversations, where everyone could share their concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\" wp-block-image size-large eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"613\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_1-613x460.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-182633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_1-613x460.jpg 613w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_1-180x135.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">These meetings once again proved that the professional development of a doctor is impossible without nurturing the heart. It is the ability to empathize, to hear others\u2019 pain, and to give hope that these conversations helped to cultivate. As the series of meetings came to an end, participants took with them not only valuable advice but also a sense of belonging to a large spiritual family that supports each person on their life journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lent at TNMU became a time of special unity.
