We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your holy prayers and unchanging archpastoral attention to the Belogorsk metochion of the Holy Trinity Diocesan Monastery.

hegumen Platon with brethren and parishioners

Your Eminence, dear Vladyka Lukian!

Orthodox parish in honor of St. Sergius of Radonezh Tambovka congratulates you on the day of remembrance of the Hieromartyr Lucian, whose name you bear!

Your ministry as a minister is like serving a good name. The name belongs to its owner, but everyone can use it.

When an Orthodox Christian congratulates a bishop, everything he wishes for him, he wishes for himself. And wishing well for himself, he wishes the same for the archpastor. For there is no greater happiness in parents than the happiness of children, and there is nothing more natural than the love of children for their parents.

On this bright and joyful day of your name day, we wish you, dear Vladyka, to remain a kind and wise helmsman of a large ship loaded with many spiritual gifts. May your path, passing through the elements of the storm, be crowned with victory.

May your heavenly patron, Hieromartyr Lucian of Belgium, be your helper and protector, mentor and co-worker.

We sincerely wish you, dear Vladyka, that that cold rainy autumn, that time of decay and decay that reigns in modern society, be transformed into a generous and fragrant spring. May life-giving sincere love, through your labors, drive cynicism and indifference to the problems of your neighbor out of human souls. May the inner transformation that you preach to the world make everyone kinder and more decent.

Many and happy summer to you!

Asking for your prayers and blessings, the rector of the Orthodox parish in the village of Tambovka, Priest Alexander Gladkikh and the parishioners of St. Sergius Church.

Your Eminence, dear Vladyka and Father!

On this festive day of your namesake, bless you with all my heart to congratulate you on this holiday and sincerely wish you heroic health, many, many years of life, prosperity, the help of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Queen of Heaven, under whose blessed protection you are always, and the patronage of the holy martyr Lucian of Belgium, Your Heavenly intercessor and prayer book.
