On March 14, Ukraine marks the Ukrainian Volunteer Day – even more so, this year. That’s according to OCU Primate Metropolitan Epifaniy.
“Who would have thought that this year, due to a full-scale war unleashed by Russia, so many Ukrainians would become glorious volunteers and that they can no longer be counted! These are people of good will who, at the call of the heart, do God-pleasing work – defend their Motherland, their people,” the OCU Primate wrote on social media.
According to Metropolitan Epifaniy, all over Ukraine, they are now defending, protecting our common home.
“It is not selfishness, but the capacity for self-sacrifice the Lord Jesus Christ is teaching us that underlies the volunteer movement. And our volunteers on different ‘fronts’ of Ukrainian life today are the latest world example of true sacrifice for the sake of freedom, truth, for the sake of others. Our dear volunteers! May the Lord protect each of you, give you good health, inexhaustible spiritual and physical strength, patience and courage. We always pray for you. Glory to the people of good will!” said Metropolitan Epifaniy.
