Moscow, September 15, Interfax – Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia expressed his condolences to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev over the passengers killed in a plane crash in Perm. "It is with deep grief that I learned the news about Aeroflot-Nord's Boeing-737Perm killing all passengers and crew including children and foreigners. I pray for rest of their souls in dwellings of the righteous," the address of the Church Primate reads as cited by the Moscow Patriarchate press service on Monday.

According to Alexy II, we all feel a deep sorrow, especially hard for relatives and friends of the victims. "The Russian Orthodox Church spiritually supports the afflicted on these mournful days. May the Lord help them to go through the hard trial with patience and dignity," the Patriarch wished. He is also convinced that the Russian President and government will spare no effort to ease the pain of those who lost their relatives in the crash. "Commemorating the victims of the tragedy, let us care for each other and for peace and security of our relatives and neighbors, all citizens of Russia," Alexy II urges.
