On Holy and Great Friday, we remember the holy, saving, and terrible sufferings of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ, which He voluntarily endured for us. Spitting, beatings, slaps, vilification, ridicule, purple cloth, cane, sponge, vinegar, nails, spear, and after all this, the Cross and death — all this took place on Friday. After Jesus, who had been sold by a friend and disciple for thirty pieces of silver, was taken, He was first taken to the high priest Anna, who sent Him to Caiaphas, where the Lord was spat on, slapped, and humiliated and ridiculed, hearing: "Prophesy to us, Christ, who struck You?" (Mt. 26:68). False witnesses also came there, distorting His words: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up" (John 2:19). And when He called Himself the Son of God, the bishop tore his clothes as a sign that He could not tolerate blasphemy.

Thank you all for your prayer
I sincerely thank all of you for praying for me. I know that this prayer is daily, the whole Church prays, and, probably, without this prayer it would be impossible to carry out the Patriarchal ministry. But when they pray for me on this day, a personal day, with which the very appearance of a person in life is connected, then, I think, this prayer is heard by the Lord, and help is poured out on the one for whom they pray. And through those present here, I thank all of you now, my dear bishops, fathers, brothers and sisters, who today, all over the face of our earth, in all the fullness of our Church, have been offering up prayers for the Patriarch.

Russian State Duma deputy Yevgeny Primakov: «I'm not a forgiving guy»
People who did wrong and were unjust simply cease to exist for me. Let me give you an example. One of the instigators of that campaign recently died in a tragic accident. TV channels called me on the strange assumption that I would want to comment. I said I wouldn't, what was done was done. I leave my personal feelings to myself.

Russia an Island of Freedom in Raging Sea of Cancelled Morality
Indeed, Russia is capable to resist alien, godless, anti-Christian forces. Those forces which aim their sting at human hearts, so that we lose our ability to tell good from evil. Gone from the political vocabulary is the concept of sin: they enforce a new model of behavior, claiming that good is what they please. But when so-called civilized world, by and large, picks up this idea, Russia, just as in the past times, has the guts to disobey. We must stick to the notion of good and evil, not from political interests or someone's ambition, but from that moral law which God has placed in our souls, in the human nature.
