Moscow, August 6 – His Holiness Kirill, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, has offered his condolences to U.S. President Donald Trump following a recent series of shooting incidents in which over 20 people were killed and dozens got injured, reported Interfax.

“In these difficult times for the American people, we are extending our condolences to all who are grieving today. I hope everything that is possible will be done from now on to prevent a repeat of such tragedies,” Patriarch Kirill said in his message to Mr. Trump.

Twenty-one people were killed and more than 20 were wounded in a mass shooting at a Walmart in the El Paso shopping mall in Texas on August 3. Another nine people were killed in a shooting incident in Dayton, Ohio early on August 4. Another seven people were wounded in a shooting incident in a park in Chicago in the state of Illinois.

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.
