I am grateful to everyone who slanders me, – Metropolitan Pavel

In an interview with Aleksey Fazekosh, Metropolitan Pavel, the KPL viceroy, said that he prays for each of the enemies.

“I ask: “Lord, put a barrier to their evil and give them a bright mind, because You suffered for everyone.” <…> I am grateful to everyone who slanders me, calls me names – they help me improve. Recently, one said that he hates me, to which I replied that I am not a hundred-dollar bill to please everyone,” the metropolitan added.

“I laugh – they ringed me. I will say that I did not deserve this, this is a political order. Security Service officers twice forced me to compromise – I would have remained free if the brethren had been evicted from the Lavra. <…> One of them told me that a criminal case would be opened. I answered – please, I am not afraid to suffer for Christ. Luka Voyno-Yasenetsky was arrested 95 times, and so will I. Thank God, I am not forbidden to pray,” says Bishop Pavel.

The bishop also spoke about his attitude towards those who consider him “one of the richest people in Ukraine.” His Eminence noted that almost everything he has is gifts from spiritual children and people dear to him.

“When they call me“ Pasha Mercedes ”, I’m just surprised – as if I have one such car, and then an old one. <…> When they came to me with a search and began to look for money, I immediately said: Do not look, you will not find anything there. Everything that they gave me, they gave it all in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, in other churches and in orphanages, ”said the abbot of the monastery.
