According to the Archpastor, “the good prospect of Great Lent is to learn to live in peace with God and in harmony with one another”.

“Let's work to the best of our ability so that our souls are filled with joy for the sake of a peaceful life on earth and eternal salvation in Christ Jesus our Lord,” the Primate addressed the believers.

As reported, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry gave his blessing to hold a prayer service for peace in Ukraine on March 4 at 12:00 in all churches and monasteries of the UOC.
