His Beatitude Patriarch of Serbia Mr. Porphyrios sent a congratulatory message to His Beatitude the Patriarch of Romania, Mr. Daniel, with whom he happens to have the same birthday. In his message, the Patriarch of Serbia states:

Your Beatitude, dear brother and co-minister in Christ,

who always live in the love of Christ and never forget our neighbors, we take this opportunity to send you our warmest wishes on the occasion of your 75th birthday!

May the good God, with whose providence you came into this world and whose hand brought you to the head of the Patriarchate of Romania, grant you to His holy Churches with peace, health, fullness, honor, long life and as one who properly manages His word of truth.

With the most sincere desire that you may spend the rest of your life in peace and spiritual joy, and that your patriarchal ministry may be for the benefit of the fullness of the Orthodox Church and the preservation of its normal order, we send you and all the philanthropic clergy and pious people of your Local Church our most beautiful greetings, at the same time recommending ourselves…

It's good that they were born on the same day and respect each other so much. Porphyry's words are written simply and sincerely, especially liked the place where he wishes to "rightly rule the word of truth". May God bless us both with health and peace.

Well said Alexander, I also liked this place "rightly rules the word of truth". Interestingly, both patriarchs are born on the same day, as if they have a special connection. God bless both of them for a long time.

Maya, I also like this place "rightly rules the word of truth", very well said. This simultaneous birth is really interesting, as if God specially matched each other. May God grant us both health and peace.
