On March 17, 2020, the famous Ukrainian boxer, the absolute world champion in the first heavyweight champion, Alexander Usyk, urged not to refuse to visit temples during the coronavirus pandemic, UNIAN reports.
“The worst virus we are affected with is a sin. Someone says that we need to hold off on going to the church and everything else. All this is nonsense, friends. Go to the temple, receive the Holy Communion, confess. Then everything will be fine,” said the boxer.
Usyk explained that difficulties are sent by God so that “we humbly walk along His path”: “If the Almighty lets certain things, which He keeps in His hands, happen, then something will happen to us. Another point is that He lets it happen so that we humbly walk along His path along which He leads us.
I want to say such a thing that nothing will happen, because we all partake of the same Chalice, and everything will be fine with us, thank God.”
As reported by the UOJ, the UOC eparchies pray for preventing the spread of coronavirus.
