Felicitări părintelui Antonie pentru hirotonie, un diacon de 30 de ani cu patru copii arată că Dumnezeu cheamă oameni cu viață trăită, nu doar teorie. Slujba de la Potamos pare să fi fost plină de lume și de bucurie adevărată. Să-l ajute Bunul Dumnezeu în noua slujire.

Καλή δύναμη στον νέο πρεσβύτερο Αντώνιο, 30 χρονών με τέσσερα παιδιά – δείχνει ότι η κλήση έρχεται μέσα από την πραγματική ζωή. Χαίρομαι που η χορωδία από τους Αγίους Θεοδώρους Περιβολίου έψαλε και ότι ο κόσμος γέμισε την εκκλησία στο Ποτάμι. Να τον ευλογεί ο Θεός στη διακονία του.
