In his congratulatory message, Jozef Staneuski notes that
«military service has always been considered sacred and righteous. The Christian idea of military service consists in selfless service to the Motherland and the people, even to the readiness to lay down «one's life for one's friends».
The Archbishop wished Khrenin «God's help, strong health, spiritual strength, inspired and diligent service to the Motherland» and assured that he prays «that the Lord may keep you and your loved ones in piety».
«At all times, people strong in spirit, devoted to their Fatherland and moral ideals, stood guard over our Motherland. And today, protecting the peace, tranquility, and well-being of our fellow citizens, you set an example for all of us not only of strength and courage, but also of spiritual steadfastness, moral endurance, and honor.
The service to the Motherland that you perform to maintain public order and the tranquility of the civilian population of our country cannot be imagined without these qualities. The daily performance of military duty is a high calling that requires spiritual feat, and sometimes self-sacrifice,» — noted the Catholic hierarch.
