Your Beatitude,
We learned with pain about the tragic earthquake this morning in Albania, which injured many and killed several people.
At this moment, when our souls and hearts are filled with grief from this event, we send a heartfelt and sincere prayer to the One who gives every good thing – the Lord Jesus Christ to comfort the Earth and make it a peaceful place to live in His creation.
God forgive the souls of those who perished in the lands of the righteous, strengthen their loved ones, and heal the wounds.
With brotherly love in Christ,
† Neophyte,
Patriarch of Bulgaria
