With the first ray of light, on August 31, the Kyiv faithful were wrapping their yellow - of the colour of holiness - tents and hurrying to the Divine Liturgy.
For the third time, the Holy Divine Liturgy sounded and for the third time, Moses, Patriarch of Kyiv and All Rus-Ukraine was ministering the holy service on the Transcarpathian land. The clergy and the faithful were praying for God-loved and God-protected Transcarpathian region, for the city of Uzhgorod, for the people of Ukraine and for all, who with faith are living in Ukraine, for unity of all the churches of God in the Christ's love, for peace and calm on our land.
Thus were finishing the Mission of Soborna Church in Uzhgorod. According to the faithful themselves, that was the God-inspired trip, which fully filled the hearts with the Grace of God and helped to see with their own eyes and to feel the image of the Kingdom of God on the Earth and the spiritual care of Heavenly Father through the Holiest Moses, Patriarch of Kyiv and All Rus-Ukraine.
Heartily and sincerely, delivered the sermon Vladyka Vasyliy:
Glory to Jesus Christ!
Dear guests, dear parishioners!
I am sincerely thankful to you for bringing such a flaming fire of your hearts, such a love, love of God in our land. And I hope that this love of God, like a relay baton, will pass to the citizens of Uzhgorod. All the citizens of Uzhgorod, all the faithful saw both you and the strength you have. Saw, what a great strength came to us and what we could do. For such a short period of time so much work has been done, and no builders will even believe that it is possible to work so fast. I thank you for all this and I hope that this flame you have awaken in our hearts with your work, your prayers, will be awakened in the hearts of all the citizens of Uzhgorod and they, with the same joy, will be coming on the building activity of this church and continuing this affair - building the Kingdom of God.
Let God protect and save you.
Have a good trip!
Thank you for everything.
God save you.
