Your Holiness,
On behalf of the World Council of Churches (WCC), and in my own name, I wish to convey our heartfelt prayers, fraternal solidarity, and warmest wishes for your speedy and full recovery.
Please be assured of our thoughts and prayers during this time. We pray that God will grant you renewed strength, peace, and healing, and that you may soon return to your ministry with restored health and vitality.
Your Holiness, our shared Christian faith calls us to uphold one another in prayer, compassion, and hope, especially in moments of vulnerability. As we continue our common pilgrimage towards Christian unity, peace, and reconciliation, we remain grateful for your witness and leadership in serving the Church and the wider human family.
May the healing presence of our Lord Jesus Christ surround you, sustain you, and bring you comfort and renewed strength. We pray that you will experience the loving care of God and the encouragement of all those who hold you in their hearts and prayers.
With…
