Today, with profound gratitude to God, I accept birthday greetings
I sincerely thank the Primate of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, His Beatitude Metropolitan Epiphanius, for his warm words, prayers, and the great honor of bestowing upon me the highest award of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine—the Order of the Cross of Merit.
For me, this distinction represents not only a great honor but also a responsibility that inspires me to carry out my ministry with even greater zeal and dedication.
I pledge to continue, with God’s help, serving God, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the Primate—His Beatitude Metropolitan Epiphanius—and our Ukrainian people with devotion.
Thank you all for your prayers, kind words, love, and support. May the Lord bless each of you!
Viktor Leshchynskyi
