His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia Addresses the Fullness of the Russian Orthodox Church
Dear Brothers and Sisters, I appeal now to the Fullness of our Church, to all the peoples of historic Rus.

We would never say that the success of a human being is always the same as his or her physical health, but rather, what he or she has achieved in their lifetime despite all of the limitations that they face. In life, we see people who have been born into abject poverty or strife, (more…)
