He urged the believers to remember the words of Christ the Savior: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you."
As reported, Archdeacon Pavel urged Orthodox Christians to attend the prayer standing near the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra as often as possible.
