Moscow, July 27, Interfax - Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia has offered words of support to the people of France in regard to the hostage-taking during a mass in a church in Rouen and the killing by terrorists of priest Jacques Hamel.
“This outrageous crime was committed in a holy place and it shocks by its inhumane cruelty and the fact that it is against all moral norms. There is no and there can be no justification for it,” the patriarch said in his message of condolence to Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois, Archbishop of Paris, issued by the patriarch’s press service.
The patriarch wished for God to “rest His servant’s soul in the heavenly abodes,” comfort and support everyone hurt and give peace and blessings to the people of France.
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.
