**I am deeply grateful to our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Mother of God for guiding
me through this period of ill health. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the parish
communities, church organizations, bishops, clergy, and the faithful for the Divine
Liturgies and multitude of prayers offered for my good health.**

**Having completed my time of hospitalization, I am now embarking on a period of
recuperation to regain my strength. I also wish to express my profound gratitude
to all the hospital staff, particularly Dr. Terry and Dr. Andrea Babick, for their
exceptional medical care.**

**At this time, I am still unable to conduct liturgical services or receive well-
wishers. I am very appreciative of Bishop Andriy and the chancery staff for managing
the affairs of Archeparchy, and I trust they will continue to do so.**

**I also extend my thanks to the clergy, church leaders, and faithful of other Churches
and denominations who have reached out with their prayers and support.**

**In closing, I pray that you all experience and enjoy the peace of the Christ Child,
born in Bethlehem for our salvation.**

I **+Metropolitan Lawrence**
