Coming from the Holy City of Jerusalem to this Sacred Monastery, I pray that the grace of the Honourable and Life-creating Cross will show forth this sacred place to the glory of God, while granting to the Very Reverend Abbess Diodora prudence and wisdom, in order that she may shepherd those with her in a place of green pasture, by the staff of the Elder DIONYSSIOS, who is multiplying the children of the desert and filling the desolated Holy City of Jerusalem.
