MOSCOW, 1 Feb. /TASS/. The Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia Kirill believes it necessary to provide a personal example of godliness, righteousness, justice and kindness, and not to declare these qualities, creating an imaginary image. He stated this on the eighth anniversary of his enthronement at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
“If the example is not, then the most innocuous actions can be perceived as domination, because if example, there is no trust neither to words, nor actions, especially bishops and patriarchs,” said the Patriarch.
the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church believes that the main condition of the Ministry of the priest, Bishop and Patriarch is the commandment of the Apostle Peter: “I beg your Pastors that feed the flock, not lording it over those entrusted, but being examples to the flock”.
“And so in order to give an example, needs a lot of work tirelessly. And not only on honest, responsible, selfless performance of their direct duties, but also over yourself, your inner world, your ability to deal with sin, overcome temptation and human weakness,” addressed to the bishops of the Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia Kirill.
