Pope Francis has ssued an appeal for the Greek Orthodox nuns who were kidnapped in Syria.
At the conclusion of his regular weekly audience on December 4, the Pope asked the faithful to pray for the women religious who were seized at the Santa Tecla monastery. “Let us pray for these nuns, for these sisters, and for all those who have been kidnapped as a result of the current conflict,” the Pontiff said.

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
