I declare I am not of those declarations. You know this, yes. The times are difficult. Okay, three accusations were dropped. I said that as a young man, both in age and as a new metropolitan, I may have made mistakes. I asked for forgiveness. I asked to be seen with leniency. To be given a second chance, a final chance to rectify the mistakes that were pointed out to me. I declare, I declared, and I declare thus obedience to the Archbishop and the Synod. Okay, that was the decision of the synod. These things that you heard, I heard them too. From now on, let us all be at peace, let peace prevail. It is not right for the people to be divided. And we wait, I haven't been informed of anything yet, what I am to do, where I should go, what I will do now. These things, only these very briefly, I await the Archbishop to call me, to discuss with me, to tell me what I should do from now on. If you pray, I… I love Paphos, I loved it and I love it. It is, it is my country, it is my homeland. I love all of you. That's what I wanted to do. I was young. I was like that, I had zeal. To do spiritual works, spiritual work according to the saints [music] and so on. Worthy. Worthy. Worthy. Worthy. I struggled, I didn’t want, I didn’t want this position here. They proposed that I take it as metropolitan, and I said to God, whatever you want, Lord. The people elected me, the clergy elected me. Glory to God. And now I am again in God's hands. Whatever God wills. It may be God's will. We don't know. We don't know. We are leaving it to God's providence. Whatever God wants. God forgives. Yes. But not only are there chances for us. You forgive. We do lapa. We forgive. Pocho. The Archbishop and Synod will inform us of the rest. I don't want, I don't want there to be… there to be unity, there to be love, cooperation. That's it. Thank you for your love. My lord. During the time you were bishop, we felt the spirituality of Paphos, and it rose so much. The world really felt and saw the difference, both in your person and the effort you made to continue to help, to strive, to continue. We would like you to send a message to the world, because we hear the people, and the people feel this indignation. The world needs spirituality, it needs to be close to God, close to the Church, close to the saints, to strive. Most Reverend, we want… we want to repent, to move forward, not only for the secular people, but already our hierarchs must realize this. Do you feel that you were not given a second chance? I expected to be given a final chance. I was ready to take my steps, they asked me… I really wanted it. Really, I felt it myself. I didn’t want them to tell me that I had to… But glory to God, whatever the Archbishop and Synod want. If you ask… respecting the moments that you yourself are going through, but also the Christian flock, I could not, and would not be right in my work if I did not ask you if you can tell us what is being attributed to you. After you hear them. Three things were… we want… Three things were the… we cannot rely on our two meals without hearing them from certain worthy lips. Yes. I have not done anything, anything which… I have not done… anything that weighs on my conscience. Something may have gone wrong, something that happened. Do you feel that you did not go near schismatics, most reverend? No. No, no, and I dissuaded many from this. We must support our beliefs, our God, who is one God, we must support it. There must be unity in the Church, there must be harmony. We are all together. I understand that you came here… calling on the world not to react… and I think that nothing will be achieved. Yes. Okay. I wish the Archbishop and the Synod could get a second opinion, but I don't see it. I think they have decided… to let us be at peace. Indeed. The message has passed, however, thank you. Thank you.
