Miroslav Kukla

It has happened to us a few times already that the award was literally made express, even on the street, but today was insurmountable in speed. Who knows, maybe it was related to our appreciation at the Secondary School of Transport and maybe it would be both speed and understandable.

Among transport experts, however, we did not appreciate the teacher of professional subjects, but the priest Miroslav Kukla, who is here at the school as a teacher of religious education.

He only gave us a short while during the break. We barely got one picture in front of the polished road veterans, and the priest said goodbye.

I have to go because it was already ringing, and he was able to say it and he rushed upstairs to see his students. We were guessing at the traffic school this time there would be talk of erratic roads.

Miroslav’s road to Trencin led from Nitra. He was ordained as a priest 18 years ago. In his words, the priestly profession is a gift that needs further development. His heart is the Christian communities, for he came out of such association himself. He is the type of priest looking for ways to cement the parish communities and approach young people and families. He co-organizes trips, holidays, barbecues or New Year’s Eve events. According to him, the priest should not stay only in the church, but should, figuratively speaking, go out to the streets.

We cannot be content to be in church on Sunday, and that is all. Because that’s how we approach our people, but we’re not going to wake anyone else up,” he said to the Catholic newspaper a while ago.

Miroslav and I met again. We visited him at the parish where he gave us an award for another special man. There were lots of flowers around the entrance. Jane didn’t resist, and she praised the varied decoration.

I grew everything myself. Flowers near the Virgin Mary, that is my greatest love, and he said a warm goodbye to us at the entrance.
