Metropolitan Pavel calls for grateful prayer, benevolence as Christmas approaches
MINSK, 4 January (BelTA) – The Orthodox Church calls for a prayer of joy and gratitude, benevolence and universal love during the holy days of Christmas, reads the Christmas message of Metropolitan Pavel of Minsk and Zaslavl, Patriarchal Exarch of All Belarus, BelTA has learned.
“Among the people around us, there is always someone who feels bad, lonely, and despaired, who is old and feeble. We should realize that without love, mutual care and support, and a willingness to give our lives to those whom we love, there is no happiness, joy, or abundant living. Our Lord and Savior is waiting for good fruits, the fruits of love and benevolence to our fellow creatures, from the faithful sons and daughters of the Church,” the message reads.
Metropolitan Pavel noted that the year 2015 brought many spiritual joys and accomplishments for the Church.
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.
