His Holiness one again remind the parish to stand bravely despite facing great tragedy. He added that disaster is always followed by great mercy! “We live in a very difficult period. But, we should not be fared of disaster approaching to Georgia. Georgian people have strong spirit. And, neither internal nor external enemies can destroy us. Let me remind you living rules of holy fathers. When fathers lived without difficulties they appealed God why He forgot them and asked for difficulties. So, all difficulties come to reduce our sins. Let each of us look into ourselves, and we will see that we have made misdeeds quite often. And, difficulties have come from the God. But, the difficulties will change into great mercy”, stated His Holiness and Beatitude Ilia II. Catholicos Patriarch stressed that Abkhazia and Samachablo were ancient Georgian territories. Thus, they will remain within Georgia anyway. His Holiness and Beatitude give a short praying to the parish and asked to read it at least three times a day, “Lord, Glory to You! Please, return Abkhazia and Samachablo upon your blessing. Amen!” Catholicos Patriarch blessed the parish to participate into a Georgia’s supporting international action to be held on 1 September 2008. The action expressing protest against Russian aggression and occupation through life chain will stretch all over Georgia.
