Russian patriarch asks Russians to pray for the whole of mankind MOSCOW. Jan 6 (Interfax) - On Christmas eve, Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia asked all Russian Orthodox believers to pray more zealously for their Fatherland, for their neighbors and for the whole of mankind. "We are still experiencing many difficulties and problems - poverty, social vulnerability, the threat of terrorism and crime, the propaganda of immorality, the epidemic of alcoholism and drug addiction, and other appalling vices," the Russian patriarch wrote in his Christmas message. "As the root of all of these evils is the injury of the human soul, it is impossible to change society for the better without faith, hope and love," Alexy II wrote. The Russian patriarch expressed serious concern about the current international situation. "In our turbulent world, people are again fighting against each other, and thousands of civilians in different countries have fallen victim to the evil will. God also sent many trials to Russia, which was befallen by floods, storms and droughts last year," he wrote. "But even in the worst of circumstances Christians must never forget the Savior's words, 'Don't be afraid and keep believing,' addressed to each of us," the Russian patriarch said. ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.a9WB2D Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
