We, the monasti...To the Holy Monastery of Vatopedi<br /><br />We, the monastic community of the Monastery of Dervent in Romania, together with the Romanian Orthodox Christian faithful, we were surprised and saddened to hear of the decision by the Greek authorities to arrest the Archimandrite Ephraim, the Abbot of the Holy Monastery of Vatopedi.<br /><br />By this letter we wish to assure you that our thoughts and our hearts go with you, with the Very Reverend Father, Archimandrite Ephraim and with the entire community of the Monastery of Vatopedi. We pray our Lord Jesus Christ and the Most Blessed Theotokos, the guide and guardian of the Holy Mountain and of all its inhabitants that the Very Reverend Archimandrite Ephrem may soon be returned to his community of Vatopedi, for the spiritual good of the entire Orthodox commonwealth. <br />We are writing the present on behalf of the entire monastic community of the Monastery of Dervent and of the 270 faithful who signed the (annexed) petition addressed to the President of the Hellenic Republic. <br />May our Lord Jesus Christ bring you in the New Year all good tidings, a good answer to your prayers, peace, serenity, and salvation.<br /> With our brotherly love,<br />Archimandrite Andrei Tudor<br />Abbot of the Monastery of Dervent, RomaniaEfremhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705042983583454280noreply@blogger.com
