In his Easter Encyclical, Patriarch Theodore II of Alexandria and All Africa emphasized the importance of prayer and peace during a time of global crises in Ukraine, Palestine, the Middle East, and Africa.
He called for unity in prayer for reconciliation and peace worldwide, highlighting the need for inner harmony and genuine love to achieve lasting peace, as opposed to temporary peace driven by external motives and societal issues.
Patriarch Theodore II emphasized that true peace comes from Jesus, residing within the soul and mind, promoting unity, support, and humility among believers. He urged everyone to come together in prayer for peace, rooted in the love and grace of Christ, rather than the threat of modern weapons.
