The days of Christmas fill life with special joy, awaken the kindest feelings, and turn our hearts toward spiritual origins and traditions. This is a time of good intentions and deeds, sincere care for our neighbors, and support for those in need of help and compassion.

Your diligent and successful ministry in this field contributes to the strengthening of spirituality and the moral health of society in our capital, which is not only the political and cultural center of the country but also a reflection of its spiritual aspirations.

May this bright Feast bring you good health, joy, warmth of heart, and new strength to continue your noble mission for the benefit of our nation!

May God’s help, prosperity, and good health accompany you and your loved ones in the new year!
