Greeting from His Beatitude Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk:

Your Beatitude,

Please accept my cordial greetings on the anniversary of your election to the primatial See of Athens and All Greece.

Performing the lofty ministry of primate of the holy Church of Greece, you try to rely in everything upon the Lord Who has called you to minister His Gospel (cf. Rom 15:16). At a challenging time when doubts are being cast on traditional moral norms in this world ever more often, you have to make special efforts to preserve the Gospel values in Greece.

I prayerfully wish Your Beatitude God’s help in your primatial ministry, physical and spiritual strength and bountiful spiritual blessings from the All-Generous Heavenly Father.

With esteem and love in the Lord,

Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk
