⁇ Ἐφετεινή ἐπέτειος τοῦ Βαπτίσματος τῶν Ρώς, Nevertheless, εἶναι δι᾿ ἀμφοτέρους ἡμᾶς μία πρόγευσις τῆς πρόσωπον πρός πρόσωπον κοινωνίας και συναναστροφῆς ἀλλά και τμπς ἐμπράκτου ἐν Χριστῷ ἑνότητος ἐν τῷ Ποτηρίῳ τῆς Ζωῆς όπως μέλλομεν ἐπισκέψασθαι, then a prudent both ecclesiastical and state invitation, τό Κίεβον και τήν ἕδραν Ὑμῶν, ἵνα ἴδωμεν ἐκ τοῦ σύνεγγυς τόν εὐσεβῆ⁇ ρθόδοξον Οὐκρανικόν λαόν εὐλογουμενον και ἁγιαζόμενον ὑπό τῆς συσσωματώσεως αὐτοῦ πρός τό Κυριακόν Σῶμα, σχνευ σχισμάτων και ὀδυνηρῶν καταστάσεων τοῦ ἀμέσου παρελθόντος.

Zeus and those announcing to the Holy Clergy and the Christian crew of Ukraine the visit of us during the coming August, μετ᾿ οὐ πολλάς ἡμέρας, we address a message of love and unity to everything, διότι εἴτε τό γνωρίζουν εἴτε τό ἀγνοοῦν, εἴτε τό ἐθέλουν εἴτε ὄχι, πάντες οἱ εἰς Χριστόν πιστεύοντες ἐν Οὐκρανίᾳ ἀποτελοῦν καρπόν τῆς εὐχύμου ἀμπέλου τῆς Κωνσταντινουπολίτιδος Μεγάλης Ἐκκλησίας. Many, maybe, They misunderstand this vital and essential spiritual relationship so that they can be disposed of by us to control and manipulate the inner life of the Church of Ukraine.. Οὐδόλως! Κόμεῖς ἐκόψαμεν ἐκ τοῦ πολυμάρτυρος Σώματος τῆς Μητρός Ἐκκλησίας διά να δώσωμεν τήν εὐκαιρίαν εἰς τά πρό 1033 ἐτῶν γεννηθέντα ἐκ τῶν σπλάχνων αὐτῆς τέκνα τήν εὐκαιρίαν ὅπως μετά ὡριμότητος, of prudence and responsibility to manage the issues of daily church life with traditions, the morals, the TRADITIONS, τήν γλῶσσαν αὐτῶν, ἐντός τῶν ὁρίων τοῦ κράτους τῆς Οὐκρανίας.

This administrative emancipation does not mean that we are indifferent, we take away the heavy spiritual responsibilities of which we undertake as apostles, when we proceeded to the catechism and enlightenment of our ancestors.. Αἰσθανόμεθα αὐτόν τον ἰσχυρόν συνδεσμον τοῦ πνεύματος και ἐνδιαφέρει ἡμᾶς μεγάλως ἡ κατά Θεόν προκοπή ὅλων τῶν ἀνά τήν Οἰκουμένην προσφιλῶν ἡμῶν τέκνων. The love of the Mother Church for her children is sacrificial and exhausting, οὐδέποτε ἐπίπλαστος. Ἐχαρίσαμεν Ὑμῖν ἀληθῆ ἐσωτερικήν ἐκκλησιακτικήν αὐτοτέλειαν ἤτοι Αὐτοκεφαλίαν, καί οὐχί ψευδώνυμον, ἀφ᾿ ὅτου εἴδομεν τά δάκρυα πολλῶν ἡρώων καί Ἁγίων τοῦ εὐλαβοῦς Οὐκρανικοῦ λαοῦ νά ἑνῶνται μετά τῶν ροῶν τοῦ Δνειπέρου και νά φθάνουν ἕως ἡμᾶς, ποθοῦντα μίαν Τοπικήν Ἐκκλησίαν ἄνευ ἔξωθεν παρεμβάσεων ἐπιχειρουσῶν τήν ὀλίγον κατ᾿ ὀλίγον ἁλλοίωσιν τῆς γλώσσης και τῶν παραδόσεων, and even after the creation of the new independent and sovereign Ukrainian state.

Ἐρχόμεθα, Blessed are you, brother, with much love in our hearts to the whole of Ukraine without exception. The genuine Mother never sends her love because no one and no one can prevent the Mother from being loved and sacrificed., ἀνεξαρτήτως τῆς πρός ἐκείνην ἀντιπελαργίσεως ἤ μή τῶν τέκνων της. Ἐάν τινες ἀντί τοῦ εὐφρανθῆναι και χαρῆναι, ἐστενοχωρήθησαν ὅτι οἱ ἀδελφοί των νεκροί ἦσαν και ἀνέζησαν και ἀπολωλότες ἦσαν και εὑρέθησαν (cf.. Luke. ιε΄, 32) τοῦτο οὐδόλως πτοεῖ τήν Ἐκκλησίαν ἀπό τοῦ νά πορεύηται ὡς θεραπευτήριον رنگμενον πικροῖς, once, medicines, always guided not by the secular criteria and the domination of one Nation over the other, but with the aim of the domination of the Divine Will of the Incarnate Wisdom and Love and Peace on earth.

Μέ αὐτάς τάς σκέψεις συγχαίρομεν τῇ Ὑμετέρᾳ περιποθήτῳ Μακαριότητι, τοῖς πεφιλημένοις ἁγίοις ἀδελφοῖς Ἱεράρχαις καί πᾶσι τοῖς ἔκ τε τοῦ ἱεροῦ Καταλόγου καί ἐκ τοῦ θύραθεν, καί ἐν προσδοκίᾳ τῆς ἐκ τοῦ σύνεγγυς συναντήσεως και ἐπινωνίας πρός Ὑμᾶς, καταπαζόμεθα ἕνα ἕκαστον διά τοῦ ἡμετέρου παρ΄Ὑμῖν ἐκπροσώπου⁇ ερωτάτου Μητροπολίτου Χαλκηδόνος κυρίου Ἐμμανουήλ, τοῦ ἀποσταλέντος εἰδικῶς πρός τοῦτο ἵνα συνεορτάσῃ και συμπανηγυρίσῃ μεθ΄Ὑμῶν, καί ἐπικαλούμεθα ἐπί σύμπασαν τήν Οὐκρανίαν και τόν εὐγενῆ λαόν της πλουσίαν την Χάριν τοῦ ἐν Τριάδι δοξαζομένου Θεοῦ τῶν Πατέρων ἡμῶν.
