CLEVELAND, OH [MW Communications] – With the blessing of His Beatitude, Metropolitan JONAH, Locum Tenens of the diocese, the district deans meeting here on Wednesday February 4th have asked that a special petition for the calling forth of an archpastor be added to the Augmented Litany at all Liturgical Services until the election of a new Diocesan Hierarch.
The petition reads:
Again we pray, O merciful Lord, that you will call forth for us an archpastor of wisdom and strength, blessing us with a bishop to care for the well-being of this diocese, to unite us in loving service to all, and to be a witness to the glory of Your Holy Name: we pray You, hear us and have mercy.
