His Holiness called for a world internal revolution, adding that a review of our life is necessary, doing so with courage.

HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 14 (acn) We want human beings to learn how to live in peace, asserted on Sunday in this capital Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, during the Divine Liturgy celebrated in the presence of Army General Raul Castro, president of the Cuban councils of State and Ministers.

I will continue being there for Cuba, for you, as your brother and for the Cuban people, the Russian Primate said sententiously at the Nuestra Señora de Kazan Russian Orthodox Cathedral.
Kirill stressed that the Lord requires of us constant changes and that in Cuba he would use other words to say it: "it requires of each of us to be revolutionaries."
His Holiness called for an internal revolution, adding that a review of our life is necessary, doing so with courage.
Kirill described his meeting on Friday in Havana with Pope Francis, Bishop of Rome, as an important event in the history of Christianity.
Despite theological differences between the two churches, he said: "we express joint responsibility with what is happening in the world and for peace to reign on the planet."
We want human beings, with their political and economic differences, to learn how to live in peace; living in peace is an ideal image, but if there are no ideals there are no values, stated Patriarch Kirill.
"We expect the world to listen to us, I ask everyone to pray for that goal," he asked.
He had words of praise for Cuba, about which he said "it is a heroic country," and what happened at the Jose Marti airport, when for the first time in history a Pope and Russian Patriarch met, gives outstanding value to this "Island of Freedom."
The Divine Liturgy was celebrated at the Russian Orthodox Cathedral with a very special feeling, because eight years ago it was consecrated as Nuestra Señora de Kazan, the first in Latin America.
He said Cuban authorities heard his request to build the temple and the decision to send to the island a Russian Orthodox priest was made, who since 2001 remains in that religious institution.
Patriarch Kirill recalled his meeting with the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, whom he requested support to build the temple, which was inaugurated in 2008.
He recalled that City Historian Eusebio Leal advised him where to place the church and Kirill promised to be in Cuba to lay the foundation stone.
I was impressed by seeing the crowd of people present at the consecration of the Cathedral in 2008 and Cuban authorities in the front rows, stressing in his words this noble gesture.
He said he is happy for the Cuban people's development, the new model of the economy, and referred in particular to agriculture.
We are pleased by the high level of relations between the Cuban State and the Russian Orthodox Church, thanked His Holiness while assuring that he is convinced that such links can contribute to further unite the Cuban and Russian peoples.
The Patriarch wished health and prosperity to the people of the island, in the presence of President Raul -like he did in 2008 during the dedication of the temple- as well as to the members of the Political Bureau of the Cuban Communist Party (PCC) Miguel Diaz-Canel, first Vice-president of the Councils of State and Ministers; Esteban Lazo, president of the National Assembly of the People's Power; and Mercedes Lopez, first secretary of the PCC in the capital.
In ancient Russian, the litanies of peace and the reading of the Holy Scriptures of the Apostle were heard and the proto-deacon recited the Gospel at the center of the temple.
Accompanying the divine service were sacred melodies in the voices of the Choir of the Clergy of the Eparchy of Moscow, which is part of the delegation of His Holiness on this fourth visit to the Caribbean nation.
Also attending the Divine Liturgy were representatives of various Christian churches in the country, including Cardinal Jaime Ortega, Archbishop of Havana, and a crowd of faithful of that religion, which groups millions of parishioners in the world.
The work of the Patriarch has been closely linked to the reestablishment and strengthening of the Russian Orthodox cult in Cuba.
Located in the historic area of the city of Havana, the Nuestra Señora de Kazan Russian Orthodox Cathedral has become a monument to the Cuban-Russian relations of friendship and solidarity.
With the Divine Liturgy of Sunday morning, His Holiness concluded his activities in Cuba, from where he departed shortly after noon today towards Paraguay to continue his Latin American tour.
During his four-day stay on the island, Patriarch Kirill paid a courtesy visit to Fidel Castro; held official talks with President Raul Castro; received the JoseMarti Order, the highest honor awarded by the Cuban state; paid tribute to the National Hero at the Memorial in Revolution Square; and placed flowers at the Mausoleum to the Soviet Internationalist Soldier.
One of the most important activities of Kirill's visit to Cuba was the meeting on Friday with Pope Francis at the International Airport in Havana, the first meeting in history of the top leaders of the Catholic and Russian Orthodox churches, which ended with the signing of a joint declaration in which they pledge themselves to work for peace in the world.
