Once again, we are confronted with unspeakable violence in a house of worship: this time in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. May the Lord comfort the grieving, and heal the wounded.
I call upon religious leaders, international organizations, and all people of faith, to join in advocating for the preservation of the Holy Monastery of St. Catherine at Mt. Sinai. Let's ensure that this sacred place continues to unite people of all faiths https://t.co/6wu4S8ftST
As we remember the tragedies endured by Pontic Greeks, Armenians, Syrians, and others at the end of World War I, we pray for their eternal memory. May this inspire reconciliation, lasting peace, and an end to such catastrophes in our modern world.

The joy of Pascha is tinged with a note of sadness today, as we learn of the repose in the Lord of Pope Francis. In a world of increasing animosity, conflict, and hate, Pope Francis was a towering figure of compassion, empathy, and love. Memory Eternal - “Requiescat in Pace”

The fall of Assad’s dictatorial regime is a pivotal moment for Syria. We urge global support for rebuilding, ensuring all communities, including the Christians of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch, can live in peace, dignity, and mutual respect.
