Your Grace!
 
I sincerely congratulate you with your Name Day – the day of remembrance of the holy Apostle Matthew, the great evangelist of the Gospel to the universe (troparion to the Saint).


Through the prayerful intercession of His glorious and all-worthy disciple, may Christ the Savior keep you in good health and good spirits, sending down to you rich mercies and abundant help in accomplishing the high and difficult bishop’s ministry.
With love in the Lord,
