His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia congratulated His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon of All America and Canada on his namesake Day. The text of the greeting says:
"By the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God (Rom. 12.2), you have succeeded your heavenly patron Saint Tikhon, Patriarch of All Russia. As a worthy follower of his apostolic labors, you strive to use all your powers and talents to enlighten people with the light of Christ's truth, call them to live according to the gospel commandments, and teach them to preserve the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace (Ephesians 4.3).
On this significant day for you, I pray for the strengthening of your mental and physical strength. May the Holy and True Master (Revelation 6:10) continue to bestow upon you His rich mercies and generosity, helping you to fulfill your lofty ministry."
