Certain forces are artificially trying to sow hatred in the country instead of love, we must counter this with love, this was essentially the focus of the Patriarch’s epistle. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

“The Catholicos - Patriarch’s epistle primarily focused on the importance of faith, the importance of love for God, and the importance of charity, which is very important given that if there is anything missing from society today, it is probably love.

Certain forces are artificially trying to sow hatred in the country instead of love. We must counter this with love, and this was essentially the focus of the Patriarch’s [Christmas] epistle.

All of the Patriarch’s epistles, of course, are dedicated first and foremost to the reality, in which our country lives. It has always been like this, and naturally, it has been like this today as well. A person who is distant from God and who is distant from faith is one of the main challenges and one of the main problems of the modern world. Of course, we must all confront this, and for this it is necessary to protect faith, protect traditional values, and each of us must be engaged in this”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
