http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=9198This article states that His Beautitude has submitted his resignation to the Pope for reasons of declining health. I know this is still speculation until the information is released, but I think it is something to think about. I have many thoughts in my head, but I cannot make sense of them right now. May Got grant, to the High Priest +Lubomyr, peace, health and happiness for many blessed years!

Another report [kyivpost.com]May the High Priest, Lubomyr, be blessed with health and many years. Prayers for our brethren of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church.
"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

His Beatitude has been legally blind for some time. May God grant him health and many years, and bless the Synod in its coming election of a new Patriarch.

His Beatitude Lubomyr's resignation is official as of noon today Central European Time ( source [ press.catholica.va]). The locum tenens or administrator is Archbishop Ihor (Vozniak) of Lviv, who will be responsible for summoning the Synod of Bishops to elect a successor to His Beatitude Lubomyr. Prayers for His Beatitude and for the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church!
