Η πνευματική προσωπικότητα, η ευρυτέρα και πανθομολογουμένη θεολογική κατάρτιση, η πολύχρονη εμπειρία περί τα εκκλησιαστικά ζητήματα, κυρίως δε η αγάπη Σας προς την Αγία μας Εκκλησία και τον πιστό Λαό του Θεού, παρέχουν τα εχέγγυα γιά την περαιτέρω λαμπρά πατριαρχία Σας.
Ολοθύμως λοιπόν ευχόμεθα όπως ο Αρχιποίμενας Ιησούς Χριστός ενισχύη την Αγιότητά Σας, εν υγεία αδιαπτώτω και δυνάμει πολλή, επί μήκος ετών, ορθοτομούσα τον λόγο της Αυτού Αληθείας, προς έπαινο και εύκλεια της Ρωσικής Εκκλησίας και της καθόλου Ορθοδοξίας.
