His Excellency Mr. Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan

Your Excellency, dear Mr. Prime Minister,

It was with deep grief that I learned about an earthquake that had occurred in the Kumamoto Prefecture, on the island of Kyushu. The devastating natural disaster claimed the lives of over forty people and left more than two thousand people injured. Please accept my sincere condolences over the hard ordeal that has befallen the people of Japan.

May the Lord grant spiritual fortitude to the relatives and friends of those killed and the soonest recovery to the injured. May the strength and courage never leave all those who are working hard to cope with the tragic aftermath of this disaster.

With condolences,

+KIRILL

Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia

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.
