Your Majesty,

My heart grieved as I learned about the terror attack in Barcelona, as the result of which many people had died and been injured. Please accept my sincere condolences.

On these days of mourning I am grieving with the people of Spain, with the relatives and friends of those killed and injured.

I am lifting up my prayers to the All-Merciful Lord that He may grant fortitude and consolation to the families of the victims and the soonest recovery to the injured.

With sincere condolences,

Since you are here…

…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.
