Ilia II - We live in a difficult time when a person chooses paradise or hell

‘We live in a difficult time when a person chooses paradise or hell by himself/herself,’ the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, Ilia II, said in his Sunday sermon at Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi.

Ilia II spoke about the difficult life of a person and said that life is a test, a burden of the cross.

‘We live in a difficult time when a person chooses paradise or hell by himself/herself.

Let the Lord help them to choose paradise, to stand on the right side. The happiest person is the one who helps others to cope with the burden of the cross.

Unfortunately, we do not take others’ burden, but make more burdensome,’ Ilia II stressed.
