Your Holiness,
On behalf of the Orthodox Church of Finland and in my own name, I convey heartfelt fraternal greetings upon Your election to the patriarchal throne of the venerable Church of Georgia. Remembering with reverence the ever-memorable Ilia II, we pray that our loving God, Lord Jesus Christ, will grant Your Holiness wisdom and pastoral love, and a fruitful and enduring primatial ministry for the good of the clergy and faithful entrusted to Your care and the flourishing of the God-protected land of Georgia.
With deep respect and fraternal love in Christ,
Elia
