22 July/4 August 2021 To the Very Reverend Reverend Father, Honorable Mother Abbess and Nuns: From the distant USA, I send heartfelt greetings to you all on the feast day of the “Royal” church in Russian Gethsemane, prayerfully beseeching God’s help, strength of spirit and joy in the Resurrected Christ, shining in the hearts of many through the preaching and life of St Mary Magdalene, Equal-to-the-Apostles. I join you in your common prayer today with our entire Church, her archpastors, clergymen, monastics and the multitude of pilgrims who pray for our good ascetics in the Holy Land. Praying for you, I hope that you are all in good health. With love in the Lord, + HILARION
