Congratulations from Archbishop Sava on the occasion of the anniversary of Anna Zakharovna Volkovatranslated

Your love for God, dear Anna Zakharovna!

Together with everyone who is now congratulating you on your wonderful anniversary, I hasten to offer my sincere congratulations and good wishes.

Having reached such a significant milestone in his life, every person strives to take stock and outline the future path. Happy is the one who managed to approach the anniversary date with accumulated imperishable treasures: worldly wisdom, rich life experience, respect of his fellow citizens. However, the main treasure, undoubtedly, is strong faith in the Lord. “The task of our life is to unite with God,” the holy righteous John of Kronstadt reminds us.

For many years you have been serving in the government and teaching fields. In order to worthily bear such a difficult cross and so that the strength required for this does not run out, you must always compare your life with the Divine commandments, with the ideal of man - Christ the Savior.

I prayerfully wish you physical and mental health, many blessed and fruitful years of life and the unfailing help of the Heavenly Father in your labors for the good of the earthly Fatherland and the people of God.

SAVVA
