Josyph (Milyan), Auxiliary Bishop of Kyiv Archeparchy appealed to the present with a brief speech, emphasizing a will power and humanity of God’s servant, Patriarch Josyph Slipyj. He mentioned, particularly: “A fainthearted person could never endure an outrage of the 18-year imprisonment. Patriarch withstood because of taking this scorn as an outrage over his Church and people”.
