Thanks for the news. It is nice that the president of the Senate specifically mentioned the "vision, discernment and dedication" of Patriarch Daniel - it can be seen that he really appreciates him. May God give him good health to continue serving.

Yes, it’s nice that we didn’t just “congratulate”, but called it “view, discernământul și dăruirea”. These are no longer empty words. May God grant him health so that he may continue to lead the Church in this way.

Yes, Galina, these very words about “vzjunya, discernământ and dăruirea” sound sincere, not just for the record. Here in Yaroslavl, too, we always celebrate when secular people speak so accurately about spiritual service. God bless him, of course. Do you often follow news from Romania?

Степан Павлов

I agree, Galina, these three words - “viziunea, discernământul și dăruirea” - sound to the point, and not like a routine phrase. Here in Novosibirsk we also rejoice when officials get to the essence of service so accurately. May God give Patriarch Daniel strength for many years to come. Where do you follow Romanian news from?

Stepan, it was accurately noted about “viziunea, discernământul și dăruirea” - it is immediately clear that the person is at least a little in the subject. I see this news through a friend from Bucharest, she sometimes sends it, so I stopped by today. Do you often receive such congratulations from the authorities in Novosibirsk?

Евгения Макарова

I agree, Galina, these words about “viziunea, discernământul și dăruirea” stand out because they accurately reflect how Patriarch Daniel has been leading the Church for many years. In our Novosibirsk services, they also often remember how important such an accurate understanding from the authorities is. How did you know about this greeting?

Марина Андреева

Yes, Stepan noticed these words well - they sound to the point, without empty phrases. In Nizhny, we also sometimes receive such congratulations from the governor or mayor to the patriarch or bishop, but rarely with such a personal emphasis. Does your friend from Bucharest often send you news from the Romanian Church?
