A MESSAGE OF APPRECIATION FROM METROPOLITAN LAWRENCE
I am deeply grateful to our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Mother of God for guiding me through this period of ill health. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the parish communities, church organizations, bishops, clergy, and the faithful for the Divine Liturgies and multitude of prayers offered for my good health.
Having completed my time of hospitalization, I am now embarking on a period of recuperation to regain my strength. I also wish to express my profound gratitude to all the hospital staff, particularly Dr. Terry and Dr. Andrea Babick, for their exceptional medical care.
At this time, I am still unable to conduct liturgical services or receive well-wishers. I am very appreciative of Bishop Andriy and the chancery staff for managing the affairs of the Archeparchy, and I trust they will continue to do so.
I also extend my thanks to the clergy, church leaders, and faithful of other Churches and denominations who have reached out with their prayers and support.
In closing, I pray that you all experience and enjoy the peace of the Christ Child, born in Bethlehem for our salvation.
