Russian patriarch offers condolences to Pope Francis

“Please accept my profound condolences over the tragic death of your loved ones in a traffic accident,” said Patriarch Kirill of Moscow. “May Christ, the Lover of Mankind, give rest in the dwellings of the righteous to those who have passed away and send to your nephew a speedy recovery and to Your Holiness His consolation and abundant help in all courses of your life.”

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.
