As an Orthodox Christian, I appreciate the sentiment. It is interesting to note that, literally and grammatically, the English tweet prays for all Orthodox Christians, even women who, not being bishops, have no actual role in the Council. Even so, inasmuch as the Council affects all, it is reasonable to pray for all on this occasion. The Latin tweet seems to specifically pray for the brother bishops who begin the Council.
