Brothers and sisters in Christ, Bishop Gregory, last week I was with the Armenian Orthodox Clergy, what a beautiful retreat we had. I had a change to know first hand the beauty and glory and the suffering of their church. This week I will ordain a priest, tomorrow, in fact, tomorrow is the Feast of Saint Joseph and so we dedicate all our prayers to our priests and to all of our fathers. And lastly, I ask everyone, to follow the news in Ukraine -- especially the consecration of our Holy Father of Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Virgin Mary and let's pray. Let's pray for a better world, for the beauty of priests and fatherhood and for the church throughout the world.
