The Director of CRRCG Mr. DarijanSotirovski sent a telegram of condolences to the Serbian Orthodox Church on the occasion of the death of His Holiness, the Serbian Patriarch Mr. Mr. Irenaeus.

On the occasion of the repose of His Holiness, the Archbishop of Pec, the Metropolitan of Belgrade and Karlovac and the Patriarch of Serbia Mr. Mr. Irenaeus (Gavrilovic)), Director of the Commission for Relations with Religious Communities and Groups (CRRCG) DarijanSotirovski sent a telegram of condolences to the Serbian Orthodox Church, which reads:

Distinguished hierarchs, clergy, monasticism, clergy and faithful people,

Allow in these difficult moments of shared grief due to the great loss of His Holiness the Serbian Patriarch Mr. Mr. Irenaeus, on behalf of the Macedonian Commission for Relations with Religious Communities and groups and the Macedonian people to express our deep condolences.

The Serbian Orthodox people lost significant clergy in a short time, but only the brave in temptation became stronger.

The pandemic of the virus has darkened the world, which due to human weakness has long been plagued by a pandemic of insensitivity and injustice. Only Christianity and the true pure faith, in such dramatic times, can awaken our hope that bright days await us.

May God forgive the Patriarch Mr. Irenaeus and give him the Kingdom of Heaven.
