Understand, all you nations, and submit yourselves, for God is with us!" He is with us in this New Year which is full of various fears, doubts and questions. He is with us at a time when we are so anxious and praying for peace. He is coming. Christ, our peace, is among us, "His Beatitude Sviatoslav emphasizes.
