Distinguished Members of the Archdiocesan Council,
Esteemed Senators for Orthodoxy and Hellenism,
My dear Brothers and Sisters in the Risen Lord,
Χριστὸς Ἀνέστη! [and in response: Ἀληθῶς Ἀνέστη!]
Christ is Risen! [and in response: Truly He is Risen!]
We come together today in these days of the continuing celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, with abundant thanksgiving in our hearts for the blessing of a return to a measure of normalcy that we experienced this past Holy Week. This, by no means, should allow us to relax our prudence and caution regarding the pandemic. We have come through tremendous difficulties, and we want to continue to make progress for our Archdiocese and all our parishes.
