The Primate of the Orthodox Church of
Ukraine, Metropolitan Epifaniy, called on Ukrainians to pray for the
country's health professionals and provide all possible assistance to
doctors, as he noted on his Facebook page.
“The health professionals, doctors of
various specialties, nurses, laboratory assistants and paramedics,
pharmacists, pharmacologists and others are not only doing their job but
perform a real feat of service to people. It is performed without
pathos and not for the public, but for the sake of implementing the
vocation to do good and save others — which is a deeply Christian cause
in essence. Therefore, we are grateful to all those who today, despite
the risks to their health, their problems and concerns, save lives, help
ease pain, overcome diseases and protect others from it,” he said in a
message.
Metropolitan Epifaniy added “Many people
find it difficult to imagine the complexity of your profession because
you have a great value in your hands — human life. Therefore, you are
the one who has the highest responsibility, the greatest stress and
load. Hold on! Our support and prayers are with you! Our priests, along
with other volunteers, provide all possible assistance to help you in
your ministry, to help you bear the burden of your ministry. We pray for
you daily in our monasteries and temples.”
