May faith in the triumph of good and life give us strength in the face of evil and especially in the face of what we have witnessed for nearly two months- the fratricidal war in brotherly and Orthodox Ukraine- a horrible tragedy we all have been living with, Patriarch Neophyte said on the occasion of Palm Sunday (Jesus Christ’s Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem). 



Patriarch Neophyte called on the laity to pray to God to soften the hearts of those who have the power to end the war and the death of thousands of innocent victims.
Christians are entering into the Holy Week filled with hope, because they are in anticipation of the Resurrection of Christ, Patriarch Neophyte further said in his speech.
