Cir. 22.19 Dear Brother Priests, Deacons and Subdeacons, Consecrated Men and Women, Lay Faithful,

Please find attached the translation of Patriarch Rai’s Lenten message, courtesy of Father Rodrigue Constantine and Bishop Elias Zaidan. I also enclose the Lenten Observances which have been formulated by Chorbishop Michael Thomas and issued by Bishop Elias and myself.

Wishing all of you a Blessed and Happy Lent.
