His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia sent a message of condolences to Archbishop of Paris, Michel Aupetit, over the fire that broke out at the Notre Dame Cathedral on the 15th of April 2019.

HIS EMINENCE MICHEL AUPETIT

ARCHBISHOP OF PARIS

Your Eminence,

It grieved me deeply to learn about the devastating fire that inflicted enormous damage on the Notre-Dame Cathedral – a venerated shrine of the Roman Catholic Church in France.

I empathise with you, your flock and all those holding dear this masterpiece of Christian architecture which occupies a special place among the architectural world heritage sites.

I am lifting up my prayers unto the Lord that He may help overcome aftermaths of the fire and restore the cathedral to its former splendour in the near future. It is my hope that the joint efforts of the Church, the state and all the concerned people will be crowned with success.

With love in Christ,

 

+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.
