This 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!

True.

I guess we won't have to wait too long for confirmation, since he's holding a press conference tomorrow:

Another report

May the High Priest, Lubomyr, be blessed with health and many years. Prayers for our brethren of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church.

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).

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!

God grant him many years! (3 times)

Patriarch Lubomyr has been an outstanding leader of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. He is deeply admired for his love of Jesus Christ, for his dedication to the Church, for his concern for people of all faiths and for his genuine humanity.
Thank you for your wonderful leadership.
Mnohaya Lita Vladeko!
Wishing you many happy, healthy and blessed years!

The synod date will be announced February 17th.

RISU published an article explaining some of the process.
