The Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church thanked all those who, in these difficult times, resisted temptation, Pravblog writes.
“May the Lord reward those people who, in difficult times, showed strength of mind – when the question arose: go left or right (and if you go left, there was both applause and human praise), but went to the right, – for walking the right roads – the roads that lead people to God ”.
The High Hierarch emphasized that “both our strength and our unity make sense when we are one in God, in Truth, in Christ.”
“This unity is strong, no one can destroy it,” he said. – Other associations that arise on human principles, human interests, are as durable as these principles and interests make sense. When they lose their meaning, unity is destroyed. And the unity around the Divine Truth is eternal, because God is eternal. ”
“May the Lord help all of us, dear brothers and sisters, masters, so that we may be one in Christ. This will be a blessing for us in earthly life and will be the basis of hope for salvation in eternal life, ”Metropolitan Onuphry wished.
