His Beatitude HIERONYMOS II,
Archbishop of Athens and All Greece
Your Beatitude,
Beloved Brother in Christ and concelebrant,
On the occasion of the anniversary of your enthronement as Primate of the Orthodox Church of Greece, we convey you our best wishes of good health and blessing from God in the work you unfold for the welfare of the Church of Christ and of the righteous faithful entrusted to Your Beatitude’s paternal care.
At this time of difficulty for the Greek people, when the hierarchs and clergy of the Orthodox Church of Greece assist the believers affected by the economical crisis and in big need of help not only material, but also spiritual, Your Beatitude act with wisdom, concrete action and pastoral tact for their relief.
We pray Christ, our Lord, “The Chief Shepherd” (1 Peter 5:4) to give you many blessed years of life, peace and spiritual joy in Your Beatitude’s hierarchical work.
Many and blessed years to come!
With great esteem and brotherly embrace in Christ, our Lord,
†DANIEL
