Patriarch Porfirije: There is no better way for a person to be useful to another than the way that the Gospel anticipates

Patriarch Porfirije: The reason and goal of existence and the meaning of human existence outside of Christian civilization, ie. European civilization without Christ, without the Gospel, without the Nativity of Christ, without Christmas is absolutely not only incomprehensible but absolutely something that turns into nonsense, into its contradiction.

His Holiness Porfirije, the Serbian Patriarch talked with His Eminence Archbishop Stanislav Hocevar in the Cathedral of the Ascension of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Belgrade, on 20 December 2021. His Grace Bishop Justin of Hvosno and Mr. Vladimir Roganovic, Ph.D.,  the Director of the Office for Cooperation with Churches and the Religious Communities of the Republic of Serbia, attended the meeting.
