In his address, the OCCzLS head emphasized the importance of His Beatitude Onuphry’s archpastoral ministry for the Ukrainian people.

“May your word, your prayer, and your fatherly care be an inexhaustible source of consolation and hope for the entire Ukrainian people,” the congratulatory message says.

The greeting highlights the significance of unity among the Orthodox Churches and their mutual support during this difficult period for Ukraine.

“I prayerfully wish you, Your Beatitude, strength of spirit and body, unfailing help from God, joy in Christ, and heavenly peace – under the protection of the Most Pure Mother of God and all the saints!” Metropolitan Rostislav noted.
