Please accept my heartfelt greetings with the 13^th anniversary of your accession to the Patriarchal Throne of the Romanian Orthodox Church.

Joining all those who are lifting up their prayers for you today, I wish you peace, good health and God’s inexhaustible help in your Patriarchal labours.

With respectful love in the Lord,
