The Primate of the Macedonian Church also wished Metropolitan Onuphry many years of life and God's grace in shepherding his flock.
“May the Lord God continue to strengthen you in your spiritual labors, granting you good health, peace, long life, and an abundance of His grace as you guide the rational flock entrusted to your care,” Archbishop Stefan said.
