She concludes her greetings with a wish to believe that "God is able to turn all things to good".

Rinkevics, for his part, calls for seeing the light and keeping the warmth of the heart. "May the darkness invite you to see the light. Let the warmth of the heart conquer the cold," Rinkevics said. The President also wished "that the whirlwind of events helps to let go of the superfluous" and "that the rush of everyday life turns into peace".
