Patriarch John X in a response to the Patriarch of Russia

“It is with great appreciation that we have received your message of sympathy regarding the escalation in Lebanon”

Patriarch John X, Patriarch of Antioch and All the East of the Greek Orthodox, expressed his thanks and appreciation to Patriarch Kirill, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia. This came in a response to the message of sympathy that His Beatitude received from the Russian Patriarch following the military escalation in Lebanon.

His Beatitude’s reply letter read:
“I received with great emotion and appreciation your message of sympathy in which you expressed your heartfelt solidarity and sincere feelings after the recent escalation in the Middle East and Lebanon in particular. I thank you for your noble feelings and raise my prayers with you to Christ, the Father of Lights, to establish His peace in the hearts, console everyone, and have mercy on the souls. I also lift my prayers for peace in your region, asking the Lord of Peace to extinguish the fire of war that is killing man, while man is called to be in the image of the glory of his Creator.

May God protect the Russian people and the Russian Church and assist your hand as you lead the Russian Church, enlightened by the light of His Holy Gospel.”
