The believer’s prayers

– Patriarch Irinej was tested due to his visit to Montenegro and it was positive. There are no symptoms or problems. He was admitted to the hospital to check his health, because he is 90 years old, says Bishop Stefan.

He adds that it is important for citizens to take epidemiological measures into account in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

– All believers certainly pray. This is important, and it is important that we all take care not to contribute to the further spread of the epidemic. We need to be socially responsible, be careful, get people tested on time if they notice any symptoms. It is important to preserve those who are healthy, and for those who, unfortunately, are positive for the virus, pray for their recovery – adds the Vicar Bishop.
