His Beatitude JOHN X,<\/p>\n
Patriarch of Antioch and All the East<\/p>\n
Your Beatitude,<\/p>\n
It is with brotherly love in Christ that we congratulate Your Beatitude for the election, on the 17th of December 2012, as the Patriarch of Antioch and All the East.<\/p>\n
Your broad experience as professor and dean at Balamand Institute of Theology, as well as the experience that you have acquired while working as hierarch of your Church in Europe are a guarantee of the pursuing of the rich and fruitful activity of your predecessor, late Patriarch Ignatius IV.<\/p>\n
May the Lord strengthen you in such an important and strenuous service in this time of profound changes within the lives of the people that are entrusted to your pastoral care and missionary work and, also, in our common task of Orthodox unity and Christian witness.<\/p>\n
With brotherly embrace in Christ, our Lord,<\/p>\n
