Metropolitan Mark of Berlin and Germany congratulates Metropolitan Onouphry of Kiev and All Ukraine on the anniversary of his enthronement

To His Beatitude
Metropolitan ONOUPHRY
of Kiev and All Ukraine

Your Beatitude, Dear in the Lord Vladyka:

I send heartfelt greetings to Your Beatitude on the anniversary of your enthronement, wishing you spiritual and physical strength, wisdom and patience in carrying out the yoke of your Primatial service in these times which are so difficult for you and your flock.

Our entire diocese continuously prays for your well-being and health, knowing that you are being buffeted by blustering winds from all sides. We strive to follow events, but we know that we cannot share the terrible spiritual tribulations that you and your flock are subjected to in this terrifying time.

At the same time, we find consolation in the fact that you stand as a pillar and ground of Orthodox Christianity and hope that our feeble prayers serve to support you.

Asking the holy prayers of Your Beatitude, I remain yours,

+MARK,
Metropolitan of Berlin and Germany
