His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios was in Constantinople this week participating in the Holy Synod meetings. He departed from there Friday morning and is safely in Greece. He is appreciative for your inquiries concerning His welfare. He also shared that everyone at the Patriarchate is fine. We join in thanking God for these blessings and beseech His mercy for those who lost their lives and their families who now suffer their loss.
His Eminence asks for your prayers for all those affected by yesterday’s events, as well as the horrific tragedy in Nice, France on Thursday. Let us pray for God’s peace and mercy, and for those who lost their family members. May their memory be eternal.
