Dear Brothers and Sisters:

Now, at this moment, we have just learned of the repose of His Holiness��our Patriarch Pavle� may the Lord grant him peace in the Kingdom of Heaven. �

It is just now, when we lay the cornerstone for this holy church� may the Lord receive him in His holy embrace.

This morning he took Communion, administered by our Fr Mefodije, and his Christ-loving heart ceased to beat� �

May the Lord grant him the Kingdom of Heaven. In blessed repose grant, O Lord, eternal rest to Your departed servant, Archbishop of Pec and Patriarch of Serbia Pavle, and grant him eternal memory��
