Truly, this is the most trying Lenten season many of us have ever faced.  Please, my beloved, be steadfast in your prayers; search for opportunities to serve those in need; and remember the words of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, Who encourages us:  "In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)

Assuring you of my prayers, my blessings, and my love,
+ Archbishop Michael
