On Sunday, October 23, Patriarch Kirill consecrated the Annunciation Cathedral of the Diveevo Convent and called upon the faithful to pray for the secession of hostilities to St. Seraphim of Sarov, whose name is inseparably linked to the history of the Convent.
"Today our Fatherland is going through a test caused by Russophobia, by the evil views, evil thoughts and evil will aimed at Russia. There is an idea right now is the high time to do away with Russia altogether.
And why so? Because our view of the world, of God, of mankind is contrary to their, because it does not fit into their program that excludes God from human life. That is why, of course, Russia is an eyesore for many," the Patriarch said to the congregation at the end of the service.
What is happening today is "not just another military campaign," it seems that many want to "wipe Orthodox Russia out of existence". So, today we should pray especially for the authorities, for the army, for the president and for all those who bear the burden "of the battle that we have entered into through no fault of our own”.
Patriarch Kirill believes that in the current situation Russia is also helped by her heavenly intercessors, to whom prayers must also be addressed.

There really isn’t an “Orthodox Russia”.
There are just Orthodox in Russia.
The same is true for the the rest of the “Christian world”.
Who says God is on any ones side?
That padre should cut down on the vodka before breakfast.
Few here even know the religious divide in this war
Russia invades Ukraine and threatens everyone else with nuclear war and THEN has the gall to accuse us of “Russophobia” because we don’t like that crap?
That takes nerve!
” right now is the high time to do away with Russia altogether”
We can only hope and pray.
True words...
It’s up to Russia.
Personally USSR was enough.
They got another chance and are blowing it again.
It’s not “secession”. It’s “cessation”. Of hostilities. Error is in the original text.
He’s right.
And so many Useful Idiots fell for the “Yay Ukraine!” Propaganda.
I have nothing against Russia. And Putin is behaving quite rationally, compared to the US and NATO.
The US is at fault here. And I’m ashamed.
Good one.
Since Russia hasn’t been able to think of anything better to do than to conquer Western European civilization, why not wipe it out? For starters.
It’s pretty sad when a patriarch is taking the side of atheism.
Kirill is a whore. He sold himself to Putin long ago.

“According to material from the Soviet archives, Kirill was a KGB agent (as was Alexei). This means he was more than just an informer, of whom there were millions in the Soviet Union. He was an active officer of the organization.”
That clears things up nicely, thanks!
