Artis Kallinikos: "Kindness, justice, kindness, love for others. That's where true education flourishes"translated

Metropolitan Artis Mr. Kallinikos sends a message for the start of the new school year 2026-27. It states in detail:
My dear children, dear parents and teachers,
With the first bell, school life begins again. The halls are filled with voices, the books take their place and a world of knowledge and discovery spreads before you. Each lesson brings something new; each page can become an occasion for a new thought.
My children, love the letters. To ask, to search, to think. Go forward with perseverance and a pure heart. And in all that you will learn, keep those that make a person better: kindness, justice, kindness and love for others. That is where true education flourishes.
I wish parents and educators strength and enlightenment. Behind every small step of a child there is your effort, your patience and your love. May God support you in your work and grant you the joy of seeing your efforts bear fruit.
With the Lord's blessing, let this journey begin. May Christ enlighten the minds of the children, strengthen their hearts and give parents and teachers strength and patience...
