In his letter, Metropolitan Hilarion expressed joy that the election of the new Metropolitan of Kiev and All Ukraine occurred on the anniversary of the consecration of the late Metropolitan Laurus of blessed memory, a “spiritual friend” of Metropolitan Onouphry. “Metropolitan Laurus was a great monastic, archpastor and man of peace, who had overcome many years of church division with his humility and prayerfulness. Now, on this chosen and holy day for you and the entire Church, I hasten to express my wish that his prayers accompany you in the difficult task of heading your Church, so that the peace of Christ would reign in the Ukrainian land,” he wrote.

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.
