In an archpastoral letter dated July 20, 2026, the feast of the Glorious Prophet Elias the Tishbite, His Eminence Archbishop Nathaniel announced the blessing to use a newly composed troparion dedicated to Archimandrite Roman Braga, whose cause for canonization is currently under consideration.

Ναι, κι εγώ είχα ακούσει εκείνη την ομιλία για την προσευχή μέσα στη φυλακή· μιλούσε σαν να ήταν χθες. Χαίρομαι που ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Ναθαναήλ το ευλόγησε τόσο γρήγορα το τροπάριο. Ξέρεις αν το έχουν δημοσιεύσει ήδη κάπου;
