“Dear fathers, brothers and sisters!\nThere is no greater glory than to glorify your Heavenly Father together.\nDespite the fact that we are of different nationalities and live in different\ncountries, we are united by Christ. We are brothers and sisters of one great\nChurch and children of one Father. By praying together, we glorify the Lord,\nand we ask and pray that He will show us His mercy in the future, and help each\nof us to walk the path of life. I thank the Almighty for the opportunity to be\nwith you today, to pray and glorify Him in this blessed land. As our Exarch\nMetropolitan Sergiy said: “Christ came to this land, and here the true\nCatholic faith is confirmed and strengthened.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday, I met with the Minister of foreign\nAffairs of the Republic of the Philippines, and during the meeting I spoke\nabout our communities of Mindanao, formed after the “aglipayan”\ndivision, there are already 30 of them. Mr. Minister said a remarkable thing:\n“aglipayans have always sought truth, and today they have found it by\ncoming to the faith that was founded by Jesus Christ Himself!” I hope that\nour communities will receive support from the state, both in registration, land\nand legal issues. We will ask the Lord to bless these plans to come true. I\nthank all of you, my dear, for your common prayers, and I especially\ncongratulate deacon Alexy on taking Holy orders. I hope that he will serve\nsincerely! God bless everyone!\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
