Porphyry: We did not gather against anyone, but for peace among all people and nations

The head of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC), Patriarch Porfirije, said today in the temple that they "gathered to pray to God for the spiritual unity, unity of our people, as well as for peace among all people and all nations".

"We come together in order to use the gifts we received from God for good, for the glory of God, for everything and for everyone. In other words, we do not come together against anyone, but we come together for - first of all for our own good, but also for everyone who lives with us and around us. Every other goal and content of gathering is not ours, and it will not and cannot be blessed," said Porfitije, during the prayer service for Serbia and the RS.

The Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church said that "not so long ago, just a few decades ago, it was unthinkable for Orthodox Serbs to gather from all sides in the temple of God with the state leadership, with prominent representatives of society, business, culture, and the military, and to hear the warm motherly word of the Church that does not differentiate between children".

"For many, it is unimaginable even today. The Church constantly invites them and everyone else to come to the fraternal embrace, to the house of God, to the house of Saint Sava, the reconciler and unifier of brothers and peoples," said Porfirij.

The president of Free Montenegro, Vladislav Dajković, was also in the Belgrade temple.

We started the day in the Church of St. Sava, and the program will last the whole day, including the central event on Trg Republike. Thank you to the presidents of Serbia and Republika Srpska for hosting, but also to our Patriarch for blessing us to continue fighting in these difficult times. Long live the Serbian people!" announced Dajković.

The President of Prava Montenegro, Marko Milačić, also published a picture from Belgrade.
