Holy Father,
During Your recovery following surgery, I wish to join my voice and that of the beloved people of Montenegro with the voices of all those throughout the world who are praying and offering their best wishes for Your Holiness’s health and a swift and complete recovery.


As a brother in the episcopate, I pray to Christ Pantocrator and the Mother of God of Philermos to protect Your health and enable You to continue Your ministry with full strength in the vineyard of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
With fraternal love,
† Mihailo
Archbishop of Cetinje and Metropolitan of Montenegro
Primate of the Montenegrin Orthodox Church
