Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, Ilia II, congratulates Donald Trump on his election as President of the United States.
In his congratulatory letter, the Patriarch emphasizes that Trump’s commitment to upholding traditional values and his dedication to promoting peace on earth are of particular significance.
“Mr. President,
We cordially congratulate you on your election as the 47th President of the United States of America.
People have very high expectations on you, not only in America but the world over. Although in your inaugural speech, you primarily emphasized the strengthening of your country, everybody hopes that successful implementation of the set goals will generally bring positive changes and overcome many serious challenges.
Your aspiration to uphold traditional values of humanity which are based on Christian consciousness and to spare no effort for peace on earth is especially important.
Every authority is given by the Lord, however, happy are the nation and the ruler who connect and dedicate their service to God…”Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust” (Ps. 40:4).
May God bless you, your family and your administration. May God bless America and the entire world,” the congratulatory letter reads.
