"There is a strong prayer in the holy monastery. The world does not live by talk but by prayer. I ask you, brothers and sisters, to pray for the brethren, that they may perform their service here and offer their prayers from now on – for the whole world, for our army, the authorities and all of us," said His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry.
