Your Holiness, Beloved in the Lord Brother and Concelebrant at God’s Altar,

By his prayerful supplication, this saint pleasing unto God helps you to follow your path, strengthening you for bearing the cross of your lofty and laborious Primatial ministry, which you perform with zealousness to the glory of the Consubstantial and Undivided Trinity and for the salvation of the clergy and flock of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church.
May the King of Peace renew Your Holiness’ physical and spiritual strength by the intersession of your heavenly patron, and grant to you His abundant help for performing your ministry in His vineyard.
With fraternal love in Christ,
