Patriarch : Problem of the new virus has caused great fear among the vast majority of the planet's population, and their gaze has turned to God

The problem of the new virus has caused great fear in the majority of the planet's population and their gaze has turned to God, it is said in the Easter Epistle of Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, Ilia II.

As the Epistle reads, “we should not be afraid of troubles, since the Christian is grateful for his problems, and in all things he sees the hand of God, rejoices in it, and at the same time tries to find the right solution to the recent situation.”

“The strange situation has created, people, on the one hand, united against the life-threatening common danger and at the same time locked themselves in their country, city or village, in their home. They were able to think and discover the reality that many things, that they thought were important and valuable yesterday, are meaningless. At the same time, the states saw the need for self-sufficiency and the situation of dependence on others became unprofitable. For all countries, including Georgia, development of local production and agriculture has become a priority. It must also be said that the problem of the new virus has caused great fear among the vast majority of the planet's population, and their gaze has turned to God. We should not be afraid of troubles, the Christian takes problems with gratitude and sees the hand of God in everything, rejoices over it, and, at the same time, tries to find the right solution in the current situation, " the Easter Epistle reads.
