Your Beatitude,
With great pain having learnt from the mass media about the strong storm on Syamozero in Karelia, which caused a tragedy resulting also in the death of children – members of your Church, we extend to your beloved Beatitude our profound compassion and pray that the Lord God may repose the souls of the victims of the tragedy and give consolation to their families.
