UOC Primate: Those guilty of violence in Bucha fall in the last judgement
The Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry, assured that he would pray for those who died in Bucha. This was reported by the Information and Educational Department of the UOC.
“From today's news I learned about what happened in Bucha. It's horrible. Sorrow filled my heart. I give those who commit this violence to the Judgment of God, from which no one can hide. I express deep compassion to the relatives of the victims, and I pray for those who died from violence and ask the Lord that He take their souls to the abode of the Righteous,” said the Primate of the UOC.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that, according to Metropolitan Onuphry, any evil can be overcome by a kind word, prayer and love.
