Quotes

• Our Saviour Jesus Christ has never said that everything turns into success, that everything goes step by step. This was proven in times of persecution, in times of all kinds of suffering. What is utterly important is continuity in the mission of the Church, because God does not always judge by figures, by how many things we have accomplished, but by how faithful we have been.
  • Patriarch Daniel in new interview: ‘The Church should not be discouraged in her sacred mission, regardless of surveys’ (2018)
