YOUR HOLINESS!

On behalf of the brethren of St. Sergius’s Monastery, teachers and students of the Moscow Theological Academy, allow me to cordially congratulate you on your anniversary!

We are very pleased that you, Your Holiness, being Hierarchimandrite of our holy Monastery, are fatherly looking after the whole Russian church entrusted to you by the Providence of God. Both the Holy Trinity St. Sergius Lavra and the Moscow Theological Academy experience your special care and active participation.

From all our hearts, we ask you to accept our best wishes for good health, mental and physical strength for leading the Russian church. We sincerely pray to the God Almighty to give you His saving grace and bless your deeds for the good of the Church of Christ and our Fatherland. 

We prayerfully wish that St. Sergius will also grant you with his gracious help all the days of your life.
